Project description:Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is diffuse parenchymal lung disorders characterized by varying degrees of inflammation and fibrosis of the lung interstitium. The failure of lung alveolar regeneration in IPF is critical for this incurable disease. Here we report that chronic lung injury causes a profibrotic phenotype of alveolar macrophages that release extracellular vehicles (EVs) to promote PF development through repressing the stemness traits of type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (AEC2s). We found that an increased expression of acetylases KAT5 interacts with and acetylates protein kinase MLKL, which directly promotes release of EVs from AMs following chronic lung injury. AEC2s takes up the EVs and releases miR-148a-3p to repress expression of endogenous b-catennin agonist Wnt10b and alveolar regeneration. Pharmacologic inhibition of the miR-148a-3p expression or interruption of the KAT5-MLKL interaction restores regenerative capacity of AEC2s and exhibits potent therapeutic efficacy against PF. Our study confers a potential strategy for the treatment of IPF and other interstitial lung diseases.

Project description:The present studies tested the hypothesis that the elongating ovine conceptus and uterus produces EVs with the potential to mediate conceptus-maternal communication during early pregnancy. In Study One, EVs were purified from uterine luminal fluid (ULF) of day 14 cyclic sheep. The EVs were fluorescently labeled with PKH67 dye and infused into the uterine lumen of pregnant sheep for 6 days using an osmotic pump. On day 14, labeled EVs were observed in the conceptus trophectoderm and uterine epithelia, but not in the uterine stroma or myometrium. In Study Two, day 14 conceptuses were cultured ex vivo for 24 hours and found to release EVs into the culture medium. Isolated EVs from conceptuses were fluorescently labeled with PKH67 and infused into the uterine lumen of cyclic sheep for 6 days using an osmotic pump. On day 14, labeled EVs were observed in the uterine epithelia, but not in the uterine stroma or myometrium. No evidence of EV escape from the uterine lumen was observed by analysis of the ovary and other maternal tissues. Proteomics analysis of the day 14 conceptus-derived EVs identified 231 proteins that were enriched for extracellular space and several protein classes including proteases, protease inhibitors, chaperones and chaperonins. RNA-sequencing of day 14 conceptus-derived EVs detected expression of 512 mRNAs. The top expressed genes were overrepresented in ribosomal functions and components. These studies support the ideas that EVs emanate from both the conceptus trophectoderm and uterine epithelia and are involved in intercellular communication during the establishment of pregnancy. Transcriptional profiles from day 14 conceptus extracellular vesicles isolated from 24 hour conceptus-conditioned culture media (n=3) were generated by sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.

Project description:Ribonucleic acid (RNA), essential for protein production and immune function, undergoes glycosylation, a process that attaches glycans to RNA, generating unique glycoRNAs. These glycan-coated RNA molecules regulate immune responses and may be related to immune disorders. However, studying them is challenging due to RNA's fragility. Therefore, a robust method for identifying glycoRNA is important. To address this, we optimized parameters for RNA stability, oxidation, and digestion, thereby enriching and identifying glycoRNAs. This breakthrough paves the way for exploring their potential interactions with immune receptors and tumor suppression. Our approach involved investigating factors such as preservation reagent, enzyme buffer, digestion temperature, oxidant, glycosidase, and incubation time. We successfully optimized digestion conditions, achieving efficient cleavage of both N-linked and O linked glycoRNAs at room temperature using 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate, demonstrating the effectiveness of this method. Additionally, RNA preservation in RNAlater at -80°C allows controlled release of glycoRNAs within hours. While sequential digestion of different glycoRNA types is possible, significant degradation occurs after the first glycosidase step. Thus, we recommend separate harvesting for each type of glycoRNA. These optimized protocols, utilizing SPCgRNA and TnORNA methods, pave the way for further research on N- and O-glycoRNAs in health and disease.

Project description:Proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer unique insights into molecular changes associated with central nervous system (CNS) diseases and may result in biomarker identification. No gold standard method to enrich EVs from CSF is established and head-to-head comparisons of outputs of different protocols s’ outputs are scarce. Using a large pool of CSF, we characterized the EV preparations resulting from four enrichment protocols and compared them in terms of yield and purity. We found that particles enriched by ultracentrifugation (UC) or a combination of ultrafiltration and size exclusion chromatography (UF-SEC) bared exhibited the typical morphological and biochemical characteristics of small EVs and were highly enriched in proteins and polyadenylated transcripts associated with EV-related biological processes. UF-SEC preparations had higher particle yields while more proteins were identified in UC preparations. Approximately 40% of the EV preparations’ proteome was not identified in unenriched CSF, among which a core proteome of 45 proteins identified in 30 EV preparations from independent experiments which may serve as CSF-derived EV markers. Enrichment scores to protein contaminants albumin and apolipoprotein E were higher in UF-SEC preparations. In conclusion, all protocols analyzed here resulted in enrichment of particles with small EVs characteristics, with EV enrichments from UF-SEC resulting in highest yield and purity.

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.

Project description:Background: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are associated with aberrant gene expression and epigenetic mechanisms. In particular, de novo DNA methylation is typically linked to gene silencing, but its role in heart disease remains not fully understood. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are active components in cellular communication for their ability to carry a plethora of signalling biomolecules, thus representing a promising new diagnostic/therapeutic approach in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Indeed, there is the need of novel biomarkers for ACS prediction and timely detection. Purpose: We hypothesized that specific epigenetic signals can be carried by EVs. In this regard, we isolated and characterized circulating EVs from ACS patients and evaluated their potential role to influence DNA methylation in target cells. Methods: Circulating EVs were recovered, by ultracentrifugation, from plasma samples of 19 ACS patients and 50 healthy subjects (HS). Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and western blot (WB) were used to confirm the EVs integrity and purity. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of volunteer donors were treated with both ACS and HS derived EVs and genomic DNA was extracted to perform epigenome wide analysis through Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing. ShinyGO, PANTHER, and STRING tools were interrogated to perform GO and PPI network analyses. Flow Cytometry, qRT-PCR, and WB analysis were also performed to evaluate and validate both intra-vesicular and intra-cellular signals. Results: Plasma ACS-derived EVs showed a significant up-regulation of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) gene expression levels as compared to HS (P<0.001). Specifically, de novo methylation transcripts, as DNMT3A and DNMT3B were significantly increased in plasma ACS-EVs. DNA methylation analysis of PBMCs from volunteer donors treated with HS- and ACS-derived EVs showed that RNF166 and CCND3 genes resulted the most hyper- and hypo-methylated, respectively, after by ACS-EV treatment. In addition, PPI network analysis specifically evidenced the subnetwork with SRC, as a hub gene, connecting it to NOTCH1, FOXO3, CDC42, IKBKG, RXRA, DGKG, known as important genes already involved in the onset of CVDs. Surprising, other novel genes, BAIAP2, SYP, CHL1, and SHB, which were hypomethylated, were found significantly overexpressed in PBMCs (P<0.005), underlying the fundamental modulating properties of EV cargo in atherosclerosis. Conclusions: These findings support the significant role of ACS plasma-derived EVs, inducing de novo DNA methylation signals, and modulating specific signaling pathways in target cells.

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.

Project description:Phenotypic changes induced by extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been implicated in the recovery of acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). miRNAs are potential candidates for cell reprogramming towards a pro-regenerative phenotype. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether miRNA de-regulation inhibits the regenerative potential of MSCs and derived-EVs in a model of glycerol-induced AKI in SCID mice. For this purpose, we generated MSCs depleted of Drosha, a critical enzyme of miRNA maturation, to alter miRNA expression within MSCs and EVs. Drosha knock-down MSCs (MSC-Dsh) maintained the phenotype and differentiation capacity. They produced EVs that did not differ from those of wild type cells in quantity, surface molecule expression and internalization within renal tubular epithelial cells. However, EVs derived from MSC-Dsh (EV-Dsh) showed global down-regulation of miRNAs. Whereas, wild type MSCs and derived EVs were able to induce morphological and functional recovery in AKI, MSC-Dsh and EV-Dsh were ineffective. RNA sequencing analysis showed that genes deregulated in the kidney of AKI mice were restored by treatment with MSCs and EVs but not by MSC-Dsh and EV-Dsh. Gene Ontology analysis showed that down-regulated genes in AKI were associated with fatty acid metabolism. The up-regulated genes in AKI were involved in inflammation, ECM-receptor interaction and cell adhesion molecules. These alterations were reverted by treatment with wild type MSCs and EVs, but not by the Drosha counterparts. In conclusion, miRNA depletion in MSCs and EVs significantly reduced their intrinsic regenerative potential in AKI, suggesting a critical role of miRNAs. RNA-seq
