Metabolic Programming Promotes Cellular Uptake of Extracellular Vesicles and Boosts In Vivo Therapeutic Efficacy

ABSTRACT: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising carriers for delivering therapeutic cargos to target cells, yet their in vivo delivery efficacy remains limited despite extensive efforts to optimize their physical and chemical properties. Recognizing that EV uptake is an interactive process between EVs and cells, we hypothesize that modulating cell states can enhance the uptake and therapeutic impact of drug-loaded EVs. In this study, we investigated how the cellular metabolome influences EV uptake in neuroblastoma cells. Our results demonstrate that EV uptake varies significantly depending on the cells' metabolic conditions. Through multi-omic analyses, we identified a metabolite cocktail composed of pyruvate and methionine that enhances EV uptake by 150%. In an animal cancer model, co-administration of these metabolite adjuvants markedly reduced the tumor size. This work highlights the potential of targeting the cellular metabolome to optimize drug delivery and introduces a straightforward adjuvant strategy to enhance nanoparticle delivery efficacy.

miR-9394b from Lactobacillus paracasei extracellular vesicles targets iNOS to reprogram host NO-ornithine metabolism and ameliorate ulcerative colitis

Project description:Background Probiotics have attracted considerable interest for ulcerative colitis (UC); however, their efficacy is highly strain-specific and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood.Results Accumulating evidence indicates that bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) function as important effector carriers by delivering regulatory cargos to host cells. In this study, we investigated lactobacilli isolated from infant intestinal contents and screened four strains in a DSS-induced murine colitis model. Oral administration of Lactobacillus paracasei (LPC) or its extracellular vesicles (LPC-EVs) markedly alleviated colitis severity, as evidenced by reduced histopathological damage, restoration of intestinal epithelial barrier integrity, and suppression of TLR4/NF-κB–associated inflammatory responses. Untargeted metabolomics further demonstrated that LPC-EVs reshaped host arginine metabolism, characterized by increased ornithine levels. In vitro assays showed efficient uptake of LPC-EVs by intestinal epithelial cells; their bioactivity was markedly diminished or abolished after RNase treatment, supporting an RNA cargo–dependent mechanism. miRNA sequencing identified miR-9394b as a highly enriched candidate key cargo in LPC-EVs. Mechanistic analyses suggested that miR-9394b can target inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), thereby suppressing excessive nitric oxide (NO) production, enhancing ornithine availability, and promoting epithelial repair.Conclusion In this study, we report for the first time that the Lactobacillus paracasei–EV–miR-9394b–iNOS/NO–ornithine metabolic regulatory axis contributes to UC amelioration, providing mechanistic and theoretical support for EV cargos targeting host metabolism and promoting mucosal repair.

Bioengineered Extracellular Vesicles Co-delivering PD-L1 and miR-27a-3p Synergistically Reprogram T cells To Treat Inflammatory Bowel Disease [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Current treatments for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) primarily rely on systemic immunosuppression, which often exhibits limited efficacy and off-target toxicity. Here we present a bioengineered extracellular vesicle (EV) platform designed for inflammatory bowel-targeted delivery of dual-action therapeutics, enabling precise modulation of T cell responses to enhance IBD treatment efficacy. EVs derived from Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells ( WJ-MSCs) were engineered to display membrane-bound PD-L1 and encapsulate miRNA 27a-3p (miR-27a-3p). The platform leverages WJ-MSCs’ intrinsic immunomodulatory properties and CXCR4-mediated recruitment to inflamed tissues. PD-L1 not only promotes immunosuppression of effector T cells, but also may enhance EV retention within inflamed sites. Meanwhile, miR-27a-3p shifts the Th17/Treg balance from a pro-inflammatory Th17 phenotype toward an anti-inflammatory Treg phenotype by targeting prohibitin 1. Bulk RNA sequencing of human CD4⁺ T cells treated with the EVs revealed downregulated of Th1/Th17-associated transcripts. In a humanized mouse model of colitis, EV treatment significantly reduced disease severity, diminished intestinal T cell infiltration, and restored mucosal integrity. Single-cell RNA sequencing demonstrated expansion of Treg cells and contraction of effector memory subsets, indicating durable immune modulation. This engineered EV platform represents a novel therapeutic paradigm that combines inflamed tissue targeting and dual immunomodulatory mechanisms to restore immune tolerance in IBD, addressing key limitations of conventional immunosuppressive approaches.

Characterization and Small RNA Content of Extracellular Vesicles in Follicular Fluid of Developing Bovine Antral Follicles

Project description:Exosomes and microvesicles (i.e., extracellular vesicles; EVs) have been identified within ovarian follicular fluid, and recent evidence suggests that EVs are able to elicit profound effects on ovarian cell function. While existence of miRNA within EVs has been reported, it remains unknown if EV size and concentration as well as their cargos (i.e., proteins and RNA) change during antral follicle growth. Extracellular vesicles isolated from follicular fluid of small, medium and large bovine follicles were similar in size, while concentration of EVs decreased progressively as follicle size increased. Electron microscopy indicated a highly purified population of the lipid bilayer enclosed vesicles that were enriched in exosome biomarkers including CD81 and Alix. Small RNA sequencing identified a large number of known and novel miRNAs that changed in the EVs of different size follicles. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) indicated that miRNA abundant in small follicle EV preparations were associated with cell proliferation pathways, while those miRNA abundant in large follicle preparations were related to inflammatory response pathways. These studies are the first to demonstrate that EVs change in their levels and makeup during antral follicle development and point to the potential for a unique vesicle-mediated cell-to-cell communication network within the ovarian follicle.

DIA-PASEF Proteomic Profiling of Metabolic Regulation of Extracellular Vesicle Uptake

Project description:This project uses untargeted proteomics to investigate how cellular metabolic state and metabolite adjuvants regulate extracellular vesicle (EV) uptake in neuroblastoma cells. Proteomic profiling was performed on cells cultured in in vivo–like medium (HPLM) or standard medium, as well as on HPLM-conditioned cells treated with or without metabolite adjuvants. Comparative pathway analyses identified metabolic rewiring under physiologic conditions and revealed upregulation of endocytosis-associated pathways following metabolite supplementation. These proteomics data support a model in which modulation of the cellular metabolome enhances EV uptake primarily through increased endocytic activity.

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.

Comparative transcriptomic analysis of human and Drosophila extracellular vesicles reveals extensive conservation

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed nanoparticles containing specific repertoires of genetic material. In mammals, EVs can mediate the horizontal transfer of various cargos and signaling molecules, notably miRNA and mRNA species. Whether this form of intercellular communication prevails in other metazoans remains unclear. Here, we report the first parallel comparative morphologic and transcriptomic characterization of EVs from Drosophila and human cellular models. Electronic microscopy revealed that Drosophila, like human cells release exosome-like EVs with diameter ranging from 30 to 200 nm, which contain complex populations of transcripts. RNA-seq identified abundant ribosomal RNA pseudogenes and retrotransposons in human and Drosophila EVs. Vault RNAs and Y RNAs abounded in human samples, whereas small nucleolar RNAs involved in pseudouridylation were most prevalent in Drosophila EVs. Numerous mRNAs were identified, largely consisting of exonic sequences displaying full-length read coverage and enriched for translation and electronic transport chain functions. By analogy with human systems, these extensive similarities suggest that EVs could also enable RNA-mediated intercellular communication in Drosophila. We performed RNA-seq on extracellular vesicles purified from of human and Drosophila cell line cultures. S2R+ and D17 Drosophila EVs were analyzed, along with human A431 and HepG2 EVs. No ribosomal RNA depletion or polyA selection was performed on EV samples. For comparative analyses, we also analyzed total cellular RNA from Drosophila D17 and human HepG2. Ribodepletion was performed on cellular samples.

Proteomic signatures of extracellular vesicles secreted by non-mineralizing and mineralizing human osteoblasts and stimulation of tumor cell growth

Project description:Beyond forming bone, osteoblasts play pivotal roles in various biological processes, including hematopoiesis and bone metastasis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently been implicated in intercellular communication via transfer of proteins and nucleic acids between cells. Here, we focused on the proteomic characterization of non-mineralizing (NMOBs) and mineralizing (MOBs) human osteoblast (SV-HFOs) EVs and investigated their effect on human prostate cancer (PC3) cells by microscopic, proteomic and gene expression analyses. Proteomic analysis showed that 97% of the proteins were shared among NMOB and MOB EVs, and 30% were novel osteoblast-specific EV proteins. Label-free quantification demonstrated mineralization stage-dependent five-fold enrichment of 59 and 451 EV proteins in NMOBs and MOBs, respectively. Interestingly, bioinformatic analyses of the osteoblast EV proteomes and EV-regulated prostate cancer gene expression profiles showed that they converged on pathways involved in cell survival and growth. This was verified by in vitro proliferation assays where osteoblast EV uptake led to two-fold increase in PC3 cell growth compared to cell-free culture medium-derived vesicle controls. Our findings elucidate the mineralization stage-specific protein content of osteoblast-secreted EVs, show a novel way by which osteoblasts communicate with prostate cancer, and open up innovative avenues for therapeutic intervention. PC3 cells were treated with extracellular vesicles from non-mineralizing and mineralizing SV-HFOs for three different incubation times (4hrs, 24hrs, 48hr)

Amino acid supplementation enhances in vivo efficacy of lipid nanoparticle-mediated mRNA delivery in preclinical models

Project description:Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) play a critical role in the delivery of therapeutic mRNA. Despite extensive efforts to optimize lipid formulations for in vivo delivery, efficacy of mRNA by LNPs remains suboptimal in many organs. Here, we demonstrate that LNP delivery efficacy is influenced by cellular metabolism, with the physiologic metabolome imposing constraints on mRNA expression from LNPs. Using an in vitro system, we found that simulated physiologic metabolic conditions led to the downregulation of certain amino acid metabolic programs. Supplementation of an optimized formulation of methionine, arginine, and serine as an amino acid supplement (AAS) which enhanced the uptake of LNPs and the expression of delivered mRNA cargo in epithelial cells in vitro. Co-administration of AAS with LNPs led to a 5- to 20-fold improvement in mRNA expression across various cell types and lipid formulations in vitro . In vivo delivery of mRNA by LNPs co-administered with AAS by multiple routes enhanced in vivo mRNA expression. Delivery of growth hormone encoding mRNA by LNPs with co-administration of AAS improved the liver GH expression and the therapeutic outcomes in a model of inflammatory liver damage. Delivery of gene editing materials by LNP and AAS through intratracheal route increased lung-targeted in vivo gene editing efficiency compared with LNP alone. The addition of an optimized amino acid supplement as a co-delivered agent with LNPs may provide a simple strategy to broadly improve the efficacy of mRNA-based cell and gene therapies.
