Selective enrichment of plasma cell-free messenger RNA in cancer-associated extracellular vesicles

ABSTRACT: Cell-free messenger RNA (cf-mRNA) has shown promising diagnostic potentials. Unlike well-characterized extracellular miRNA, how cf-mRNA is protected and its potential biological significance remains unknown. To characterize the carriers of cf-mRNA in human plasma and their association with cancers, we performed transcriptome analysis of cf-mRNA in size-fractionated plasma from patients with lung cancer, liver cancer and multiple myeloma, and healthy donors. We found that the majority of cf-mRNA was enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) and was protected in EVs with remarkable stability in RNase-rich environments. We observed specific enrichment patterns of cf-mRNA in each vesicular and non-vesicular subpopulation in cancers. These EV-enriched differentiating genes are associated with specific biological pathways, such as immune systems, liver function, and oxygen transport in lung cancer, liver cancer, and multiple myeloma, respectively. Our results suggest that dissecting the complexity of EVs subpopulations illuminates their biological significance and becomes a promising approach for novel biomarker development.

Exposure of CF and WT primary human monocyte derived macrophages to extracellular vesicles secreted by CF or WT primary human airway epithelial cells.

Project description:Mutations in CFTR have been shown to alter the immune response of macrophages, for example, by reducing the ability of macrophages to phagocytose and kill bacteria. This contributes to chronic bacterial infection and inflammation in the lungs, which leads to significant morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted by a variety of cell types in the lungs and participate in the host immune response to bacterial infection. However, nothing is known about the effect of EVs secreted by CF airway epithelial cells (AEC) on CF macrophages. Therefore, we examined the effect of EVs secreted by primary CF AEC on CF monocyte derived macrophages (MDM) and compared it with the effect of EVs secreted by wild type (WT) AEC on WT MDM. EVs increased pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and enhanced the expression of numerous innate immune genes in WT MDM. However, the response of CF MDM to EVs was significantly attenuated compared to WT MDM, a difference that was also observed when EVs were isolated from WT and CF AEC exposed to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Attenuated responses by CF MDM can be attributed to defects in the CF macrophages themselves rather than differences between CF and WT EVs, because EVs secreted by CF AEC or WT AEC elicited similar cytokine secretion by CF MDM. EVs secreted by P. aeruginosa exposed AEC resulted in the upregulation of immune response genes and increased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemoattractants and chemokines involved in tissue repair by WT MDM, whereas the response of CF MDM was attenuated by comparison. To our knowledge, this is the first study examining the effect of EVs secreted by CF AEC on CF MDM, and it demonstrates that the Phe508del mutation in CFTR attenuates the innate immune response of MDM to EVs.

Rapid isolation of extracellular vesicles from cell culture and biological fluids using a synthetic peptide with specific affinity for heat shock proteins

Project description:Background: Exosomes and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly recognized as important sources of biomarkers for disease study and diagnosis. Results: A synthetic peptide, Vn96, allows for capture of EVs from biological fluids using basic laboratory equipment. Conclusion: The Vn96-captured EVs are qualitatively equivalent or superior to exosomes isolated by ultracentrifugation. Significance: The Vn96 peptide provides an effective affinity-capture method for the isolation of EVs from biological fluids. In order to compare different methods of exosome purification, we compared RNA content of exosomes purified with each method. We used two different breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-231. We processed data in order to identify large RNAs as well as small RNA by using different methods for the alignment

Molecular characterization of human osteoblast-derived extracellular vesicle mRNA using next-generation sequencing

Project description:In this study, we present the comparative transcriptome analysis of human osteoblasts and their corresponding EVs using next-generation sequencing. We demonstrate that osteoblast-EVs are specifically depleted of cellular mRNAs that encode proteins involved in basic cellular activities, such as cytoskeletal functions, cell survival and apoptosis. In contrast, EVs are significantly enriched with 254 mRNAs that are associated with protein translation and RNA processing. Moreover, mRNAs enriched in EVs encode proteins important for communication with the surrounding cells, in particular with osteoclasts, adipocytes and hematopoietic stem cells. Strikingly, EVs are particularly enriched with RAB13 mRNA, which is linked to vesicular trafficking. The latter suggests that EVs may affect vesicle production in target cells. These findings provide the foundation for understanding the molecular mechanism and function of EV-mediated interactions between osteoblasts and the surrounding bone microenvironment.

transcriptional profile of islet EVs for diabetes genes

Project description:Identification of transcriptional profile of several genes involved in diabetes in islet-derived extracellular vesicles (Evs). Recently, EVs are identified as a new mechanism in cell-to-cell communication by transfer of protein and genic information (mRNA, microRNA). Their role is under investigation in immunology, stem cell and cancer, but not in islets and diabetes. The aim of this experiment is to identify mRNA transcripts (in particular, mRNA transcripts involved in diabetes pathophysiology) present in islet Evs.

Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Metastasis Suppressors NME1 and NME2 Modify Lipid Metabolism in Fibroblasts

Project description:Our aim was to understand how vesicular NME1 and NME2 released by breast cancer cells influence the tumour microenvironment. As a model, we used human invasive breast carcinoma cells overexpressing NME1 or NME2, and first analysed in detail the presence of both isoforms in EV subtypes by capillaryWestern immunoassay (WES) and immunoelectron microscopy. Data obtained by both methods showed that NME1 was present in medium-sized EVs or microvesicles, whereas NME2 was abundant in both microvesicles and small-sized EVs or exosomes. Next, human skin-derived fibroblasts were treated with NME1 or NME2 containing EVs, and subsequently mRNA expression changes in fibroblasts were examined. RNAseq results showed that the expression of fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism-related genes was decreased significantly in response to NME1 or NME2 containing EV treatment. We found that FASN (fatty acid synthase) and ACSS2 (acyl-coenzyme A synthetase short-chain family member 2), related to fatty acid synthesis and oxidation, were underexpressed in NME1/2-EV-treated fibroblasts. Our data show an emerging link between NME-containing EVs and regulation of tumour metabolism.

RNAseq of Extracellular vesicle RNAs and cellular RNAs from HPASMCs with or without TGF-b1 or BMP4 treatment

Project description:Excessive TGF-β signalling has been shown to underlie pulmonary hypertension (PAH). Human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (HPASMCs) can release extracellular vesicles (EVs) but their content and significance have not yet been studied. Here, we analysed the content and biological relevance of HPASMC-derived EVs. We used low-input RNA-Seq to analyse the RNAs of EVs released by HPASMC under basal conditions. This data was compared to cellular RNAs. The same experiments (RNA-seq of EV and cellular RNAs) were carried out on HPASMC treated with TGF-b1 and BMP4, recapitulating pathological conditions.

Plasma cell-free RNA profiling distinguishes cancer from pre-malignant conditions

Project description:Cell-free RNA (cfRNA) in plasma reflects gene expression profiles of both localized sites of cancer and at the systemic host response. Here we explore the diagnostic potential of cell-free transcriptomes by mRNA sequencing. We sequenced total cell-free plasma RNA from 90 plasma samples from two independent sample cohorts representing two cancer types, two pre-cancerous conditions and non-cancer donors. We identified distinct gene sets and built classification models that could distinguish cancer patients with specific cancer types from premalignant conditions and non-cancer individuals with high accuracy. Determination of multiple myeloma from its pre-cancerous monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) yielded an accuracy of 90% (17/19). Detection of primary liver cancer from its premalignant condition cirrhosis yielded an accuracy of 100% (12/12). This work lays the foundation for developing low cost assays by measuring mRNA transcript levels in plasma using a small panel of genes for detection that can distinguish the presence of cancer from pre-cancerous conditions and non-cancer individuals.
