Interplay between the RBP SYNCRIP and RNA methylation in determining EV miRNA-cargo and function in cell-to-cell communication

ABSTRACT: Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are critical mediators of tumour–microenvironment communication, largely through the selective transfer of microRNAs (miRNAs) that reprogram recipient cells. Active miRNA sorting into sEVs depends on RNA‑binding proteins, sequence determinants and RNA modifications. Here, a functional interplay between the RBP SYNCRIP and N6‑methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation in controlling miRNA loading into hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)‑derived sEVs has been disclosed. It is reported that i) METTL3‑dependent m6A modification is required for efficient binding of SYNCRIP to specific miRNAs, thereby enabling their selective incorporation into sEVs; ii) silencing of SYNCRIP markedly reshapes the sEV miRNA-cargo and impairs the ability of HCC‑derived sEVs to induce epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in non‑tumorigenic hepatocytes. Notably, iii) depletion of METTL3 produces an even stronger effect, indicating that m6A methylation represents an upstream and essential determinant of SYNCRIP‑mediated miRNA export. Mechanistically, the data identify SYNCRIP as an m6A‑dependent miRNA reader, adding epitranscriptomic regulation to sequence‑based miRNA sorting into sEVs. Functionally, disruption of this interaction attenuates sEV‑driven EMT and pro‑tumorigenic signalling. Collectively, these findings uncover a novel regulatory axis governing sEV miRNA cargo selection and highlight the m6A–SYNCRIP interplay as a potential therapeutic target to interfere with EV‑mediated tumour progression and metastasis.

Small extracellular vesicles secreted from senescent cells promote cancer cell proliferation through EphA2.

Project description:Cellular senescence prevents the proliferation of cells at risk for neoplastic transformation. However, the altered secretome of senescent cells can promote the growth of the surrounding cancer cells. Although extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as new players in intercellular communication, their role in the function of senescent cell secretome has been largely unexplored. Here, we show that exosome-like small EVs (sEVs) are important mediators of the pro-tumorigenic function of senescent cells. sEV-associated EphA2 secreted from senescent cells binds to ephrin-A1 that is highly expressed in several types of cancer cells and promotes cell proliferation through EphA2/ephrin-A1 reverse signalling. sEV sorting of EphA2 is increased in senescent cells due to its enhanced phosphorylation resulting from oxidative inactivation of PTP1B phosphatase. Our results demonstrate a novel mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-regulated cargo sorting into sEVs, which is critical for the potentially deleterious growth-promoting effect of the senescent cell secretome.

Knockdown of miR-192 and miR-432 in progenitor cell-derived small extracellular vesicles enhances tissue repair in myocardial infarction

Project description:Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play a critical role in cardiac cell therapy by delivering molecular cargo and mediating cellular signaling. Among sEV cargo molecule types, microRNA (miRNA) is particularly potent and highly heterogenous. However, not all miRNAs in sEV are beneficial. Two previous studies utilizing computational modeling identified miR-192-5p and miR-432-5p as potentially deleterious in cardiac function and repair. Here, we show that knocking down miR-192-5p and miR-432-5p in cardiac c-kit+ cell-derived sEVs enhances the therapeutic capabilities of sEVs in vitro and in a rat in vivo model of cardiac ischemia reperfusion. miR-192-5p and miR-432-5p depleted CPC-sEVs enhance cardiac function by reducing fibrosis, enhancing mesenchymal stromal cell-like cell mobilization, and inducing macrophage polarization to the M2 phenotype. Knocking down deleterious miRNAs from sEV could be a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of chronic myocardial infarction.

Preferential Release of microRNAs via Extracellular Vesicles is Associated with Ductal Carcinoma In Situ to Invasive Breast Cancer Progression [miRNA-Seq]

Project description:Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a precancerous condition that increases the risk of invasive breast cancer (IBC), but not all DCIS cases progress to IBC. The molecular factors driving this transition remain unclear. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), or exosomes, play a role in advanced cancer progression, though their function in DCIS is poorly understood. This study explores the role of sEVs and their RNA content in DCIS progression. We found that Rab27A, a key regulator of exosome release, is upregulated in DCIS and IBC tissues compared to normal breast tissue. Inhibiting sEV release by knocking down Rab27A disrupted pro-invasive signaling and reduced invasion in a DCIS mouse model. Using the MCF10 breast cancer progression series, we observed increased microRNA (miRNA) content in sEVs as cells transitioned from normal to malignant, with the most significant differential miRNA expression seen in IBC-derived sEVs. In vivo, DCIS progression raised circulating sEV miRNA levels, which were reduced by Rab27A knockdown. Reintroducing miR-205, enriched in IBC-derived sEVs, suppressed DCIS cell proliferation, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. Co-expression of miR-205 with Rab27A knockdown also suppressed TGF-β signaling, activated MAPK p38, and induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. These findings show that the RNA cargo of sEVs changes during malignancy, with specific miRNAs driving DCIS progression. Re-expression of miR-205 offers a promising therapeutic approach to prevent DCIS from becoming invasive.

The RNA binding protein SYNCRIP is a component of the hepatocyte exosomal machinery controlling microRNAs sorting

Project description:Despite clear evidence that exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) are able to modulate the cellular microenvironment and that exosomal RNA cargo selection is often deregulated in pathological conditions, the mechanisms controlling specific RNA sorting into extracellular vescicles are still poorly understood. We identified here the RNA binding protein SYNCRIP (Synaptotagmin-binding Cytoplasmic RNA-Interacting Protein, also known as hnRNP-Q or NSAP1) as a component of the hepatocyte exosomal miRNA sorting machinery. SYNCRIP was found to bind directly a subset of miRNAs enriched in exosomes, sharing a common extra-seed sequence that we named hEXO motif. In vivo knock-down of SYNCRIP impaired microRNA sorting in exosomes and the hEXO motif was proven to play a role in the regulation of miRNA localization, as its embedment into a poorly exported miRNA enhanced its loading into exosomes. These results provide a new insight in the mechanisms of miRNA exosomal sorting process, that ca be exploited to further understand the role of these extracellular vescicles in cell-to-cell communications and the control of tissue micoenvironments.

Comparability of the small RNA secretome across human biofluids concomitantly collected from healthy adults

Project description:Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) are nano-sized (40-150 nm), membrane-encapsulated vesicles that are released by malignant or pathologic and non-pathologic cells into the extracellular space and function as intercellular signaling vectors through the horizontal transfer of biologic molecules, including microRNA (miRNA) and other small non-coding RNA (ncRNA), that can alter the phenotype of recipient cells. sEV are present in essentially all extracellular biofluids, including serum, urine and saliva, and offer a new avenue for discovery and development of novel biomarkers of various disease states and exposures. The objective of this study was to determine the similarities and differences between sEV ncRNA derived from saliva, serum and urine, as well as cell-free ncRNA from serum. Saliva, urine and serum were concomitantly collected from 4 healthy donors, and sEV were isolated from each respective biofluid, along with cfRNA from serum. sEVs were isolated from the respective biofluids via differential ultracentrifugation. Small RNA-sequencing was performed on each sample, and cluster analysis was performed based on ncRNA profiles. While some similarities existed in terms of sEV ncRNA cargo across biofluids, there are also notable differences in ncRNA class and ncRNA secretion, with each sEVs in each biofluid bearing a unique ncRNA profile. We conclude that sEV ncRNA cargo varies according to biofluid, so thus should be carefully selected and interpreted when designing translational or epidemiological studies.

Small Extracellular Vesicles from Radioresistant H3K27M-Pediatric Diffuse Midline Glioma Cells Modulate Tumor Phenotypes and Radiation Response [smRNA-Seq]

Project description:Pediatric diffuse midline gliomas harboring the Histone 3 lysine 27-to-methionine mutation (H3K27M-pDMG) represent a highly heterogenous group of brain tumors characterized by intrinsic resistance to radiation therapy, the current standard of care. Recent evidence suggests that intratumor small extracellular vesicle (sEV)-mediated signaling plays an oncogenic role among glioma stem cell populations. However, the dynamics and functional roles of H3K27M-pDMG derived sEVs in the context of radiation-induced stress remain unclear. In this study, we characterize sEV uptake dynamics between H3K27M tumor cells, identify potential sEV surface proteins involved in the process, and demonstrate that radioresistant (RR) H3K27M-pDMG-derived sEVs confer radioprotective effects to radiosensitive (RS) H3K27M-pDMG cells at the population level. RR-sEVs induce metabolic and gene expression changes in RS cell populations within the timescale of EV uptake and internalization, leading to improved DNA repair following radiation-induced stress. Furthermore, we identified the proteins, microRNAs (miRNAs), and metabolites present in RR-sEVs, shedding light on the molecular cargo that may be responsible for these effects. Our findings provide insights into the intrinsic radioresistant properties mediated by H3K27M-pDMG-derived sEVs and propose novel targets for disrupting radioresistant intratumoral communication in H3K27M-pDMGs.
