Class switch recombination regulation by extracellular vesicles mediated intercellular epigenomic signaling

ABSTRACT: B cell maturation is crucial for effective adaptive immunity and requires a complex signaling network to control gene expression and protein function to mediate antibody diversification. B cells also rely on extracellular signaling queues from other cells within the germinal center. Recently, a novel class of intercellular signaling mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs) has emerged. Studies have shown B cell EVs mediated signaling is involved in immune response regulation, infection control, and tumorigenesis. However, the mechanistic role of B cell EVs in B cell maturation is not yet established. We herein study the biological properties and physiological function of B cell EVs in the context of B cell maturation. We use novel technologies to characterize B cell EVs surface marker signatures, molecular cargo and physiological roles in B cell maturation. A new specialized nanoparticle analyzer was used to profile B cell EVs at the single particle level and characterize their surface markers and sub-populations at various maturation stages. EV ncRNA cargo was characterized by RNA-seq and bioinformatic analyses identified an EVs mediated regulatory network for B cell maturation. A previously uncharacterized micro-RNA (miR-5099) in combination with a set of long non-coding RNA carried within B cell EVs is shown to be important for antibody diversification signaling. The physiological role of EVs in B cell maturation is investigated using EV blockade assays and complementation studies using diverse EV sources further confirmed the physiological role and mode of action of EVs in B cell maturation.

Osteoblasts secrete miRNA-containing extracellular vesicles that enhance expansion of human umbilical cord blood cells

Project description:Osteolineage cells represent one of the critical bone marrow niche components that support maintenance of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Recent studies demonstrate that extracellular vesicles (EVs) regulate stem cell development via horizontal transfer of bioactive cargo, including microRNAs (miRNAs). Here, we characterize the miRNA profile of EVs secreted by human osteoblasts and study their biological effect of on human umbilical cord blood-derived CD34+ HSPCs by sequencing, gene expression and biochemical analyses. Using next-generation sequencing we show that osteoblast-derived EVs contain highly abundant miRNAs specifically enriched in EVs, including critical regulators of hematopoietic proliferation (e.g., miR-29a). EV treatment of CD34+ HSPCs alters the expression of candidate miRNA targets, such as HBP1, BCL2 and PTEN. Furthermore, EVs enhance proliferation of CD34+ cells and their immature subsets in growth factor-driven ex vivo expansion cultures. Importantly, EV-expanded cells retain their differentiation capacity in vitro and show successful engraftment in NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ (NSG) mice in vivo. These discoveries reveal a novel osteoblast-derived EV-mediated mechanism for regulation of HSPC proliferation and warrant consideration of EV-miRNAs for the development of expansion strategies to treat hematological disorders.

Maternal allergic sensitization affects the T cell modulatory capacity of milk derived extracellular vesicles

Project description:Background: Human milk extracellular vesicles (EVs) affect various cell types in the gastrointestinal tract, including T cells, and play a role in the development of the newborn’s immune system by delivering specific molecular cargo to target cells. Although maternal allergic sensitization alters the composition of milk, it is unknown whether this impacts the function of milk EVs. Therefore, we analyzed the T cell modulatory capacity and compared the protein and miRNA cargo of EVs from milk of allergic and non-allergic mothers. Methods: EVs were isolated from human milk from allergic and non-allergic donors by differential centrifugation, density gradient floatation and size exclusion chromatography. Functional modulation of primary human CD4+ T cells by EVs was assessed in vitro. Proteomic analysis and small RNA sequencing was performed on milk EVs to evaluate protein and miRNA abundance and to identify cellular targets of this EV cargo in relevant T cell signaling pathways. Results: T cell proliferation, activation and cytokine production were suppressed in the presence of milk EVs. Remarkably, milk EVs from allergic mothers modulated T cell activation to a lesser extent than EVs from non-allergic mothers. Integrative multi-omics analysis identified EV cargo of which the cellular targets could be linked to T cell activation-associated processes. Conclusions: Milk EVs from non-allergic mothers are stronger inhibitors of T cell activation compared to milk EVs from allergic mothers. This altered functionality might be linked to small changes in modulation of certain T cell signaling pathways.

Crosstalk between the effects of extracellular vesicles (Evs) and TNF on U937 human monocyte cell line

Project description:Under physiological conditions, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present simultaneously in the extracellular compartment together with cytokines. Thus, we hypothesized that EVs in combination with cytokines induce different responses of monocyte cells compared to EVs or cytokines alone. Human monocyte U937 cells were incubated with EV-containing or EV-free CCRF human T-cell supernatant, with or without the addition of TNF. U937 cells cultured in EV-free supernatant, supernatant containing CCRF t-cell derived EVs, TNF or both. Each treatment option was measured in 3 replicates.

Fibroblast-derived extracellular vesicles contain SFRP1 and mediate pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a lethal chronic lung disease characterized by aberrant intercellular communication, extracellular matrix deposition and destruction of functional lung tissue. While extracellular vesicles (EVs) accumulate in the IPF lung, their cargo and biological effects remain unclear. We interrogated the proteome of EV and non-EV fractions during pulmonary fibrosis and characterize their contribution to fibrosis. EVs accumulated 14 days post-bleomycin challenge, correlating with decreased lung function and initiated fibrogenesis in healthy precision-cut lung slices. Label-free proteomics of broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF)-EVs collected from mice challenged with bleomycin or control identified 107 proteins enriched in fibrotic vesicles. Multiomic analysis revealed fibroblasts as a major cellular source of BALF-EV cargo, which was enriched in Secreted Frizzled Related Protein 1 (SFRP1). Sfrp1 deficiency inhibited the activity of fibroblast-derived EVs to potentiate lung fibrosis in vivo. SFRP1 led to increased transitional cell markers, such as Krt8, and WNT/β-catenin signaling in primary alveolar type 2 cells. SFRP1 is expressed within the IPF lung and localized at the surface of EVs from patient-derived fibroblasts and BALF. Our work reveals altered EV protein cargo in fibrotic EVs promoting fibrogenesis and identifies fibroblast derived vesicular SFRP1 as fibrotic mediator and potential therapeutic target for IPF.

Growth media conditions influence the secretion route and release levels of engineered extracellular vesicles

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized cell-derived vesicles found in all bodily fluids which provide a route of intercellular communication by transmitting biological cargo. While EVs offer promise as therapeutic agents, the molecular mechanisms of EV biogenesis are not yet fully elucidated, in part due to the concurrence of numerous interwoven pathways which give rise to heterogenous EV populations in vitro. The effects of conditions in the cellular environment on EV production are of particular interest. In this study, we utilize a quantifiable EV-engineering approach to investigate how various cell media conditions alter EV production. The presence of serum, exogenous EVs, and other signaling factors in cell media alters EV production on physical, molecular, and transcriptional levels. Further, we demonstrate that exosome biogenesis pathways are the major factors contributing to EV production under optimized conditions. Our findings suggest a novel understanding to the mechanisms underlying EV production in cell culture which can be applied to develop advanced EV production methods.

Acute Resistance Exercise Modifies Extracellular Vesicle miRNAs Targeting Anabolic Gene Pathways: A Prospective Cohort Study

Project description:BACKGROUND: Resistance training confers numerous health benefits that are mediated in part by circulating factors. Towards an enhanced molecular understanding, there is growing interest in a class of signaling biomarkers called extracellular vesicles (EVs). Extracellular vesicles support physiological adaptations to exercise by transporting their cargo (e.g., microRNA [miRNA]) to target cells. Previous studies of changes in EV cargo have focused on aerobic exercise, with limited data examining the effects of resistance exercise. We examined the effect of acute resistance exercise on circulating EV miRNAs and their predicted target pathways. METHODS: Ten participants (5 men; age: 26.9±5.5 y, height: 1.7±0.1 m, body mass: 74.0±11.1 kg, body fat: 25.7±11.6 %) completed an acute heavy resistance exercise test (AHRET) consisting of six sets of 10 repetitions of back squats using 75% one-repetition maximum. Pre-/post-AHRET, EVs were isolated from plasma using size exclusion chromatography, and RNA sequencing was performed. Differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs between pre- and post-AHRET EVs were analyzed using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis to predict target messenger RNAs and their target biological pathways. RESULTS: Overall, 34 miRNAs were altered by AHRET (p<0.05), targeting 4,895 mRNAs, with enrichment of 175 canonical pathways (p<0.01), including 12 related to growth/metabolism (p53, IGF-I, STAT3, PPAR, JAK/STAT, growth hormone, WNT/β-catenin, ERK/MAPK, AMPK, mTOR, and PI3K/AKT) and eight to inflammation signaling (TGF-β, IL-8, IL-7, IL-3, IL-6, IL-2, IL-17, IL-10). CONCLUSION: Acute resistance exercise alters EV miRNAs targeting pathways involved in growth, metabolism, and immune function. Circulating EVs may serve as significant adaptive signaling molecules influenced by exercise training.

Extracellular vesicles isolated from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons contain a transcriptional network

Project description:Healthy brain function is mediated by several complementary signalling pathways, many of which are driven by extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are heterogeneous in both size and cargo and are constitutively released from cells into the extracellular milieu. They are subsequently trafficked to recipient cells, whereupon their entry can modify the cellular phenotype. Here, in order to further analyse the mRNA and protein cargo of neuronal EVs, we isolated EVs by size exclusion chromatography from human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons. Electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering revealed that the isolated EVs had a diameter of 30-100 nm. Transcriptomic and proteomics analyses of the EVs and neurons identified key molecules enriched in the EVs involved in cell surface interaction (integrins and collagens), internalisation pathways (clathrin- and caveolin-dependent), downstream signalling pathways (phospholipases, integrin-linked kinase and MAPKs), and long-term impacts on cellular development and maintenance. Overall, we show that key signalling networks and mechanisms are enriched in EVs isolated from human iPSC-derived neurons.
