Project description:Exosomes derived from human adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating properties, making them promising agents for neurochemical intervention. However, their transcriptomic impact on neuronal cells remains largely unexplored. To address this research question, we applied high-throughput mRNA sequencing analysis. As an in vitro model, CNS mouse-derived CAD cells were exposed to D-galactose (DG) to trigger molecular responses and were used to evaluate the efficacy of the isolated exosomes. Illumina-based mRNA sequencing has allowed expression profiling of more than 270000 genes. Comparative transcriptomic profiling revealed 3,951 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with DG-induced cells and 3,091 DEGs modulated by hASC-exosome treatment.In the presence of hASC-derived exosomes, many DEGs (1,948) were downregulated. A set of genes involved in the inflammatory response and regulated by hASC-exosomes was identified. Our study provides transcriptomic evidence supporting the regulatory role of hASC-derived exosomes in attenuating the expression of inflammatory and neurodegenerative markers, positioning them as potential candidates for antiaging neurotherapeutics.
Project description:Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells prevent inflammatory disease but the mechanistic basis of suppression is not understood completely . Gene silencing by RNA interference can act in a cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous manner, providing mechanisms of inter-cellular regulation. Here, we demonstrate that non-cell-autonomous gene silencing, mediated by miRNA-containing exosomes, is a mechanism employed by Treg cells to suppress T cell-mediated disease. Treg cells transferred microRNAs (miRNA) to various immune cells, including T helper 1 (Th1) cells, suppressing Th1 cell proliferation and cytokine secretion. Use of Dicer-deficient or Rab27a and Rab27b double-deficient Treg cells to disrupt miRNA-biogenesis or the exosomal pathway, respectively, established a requirement for miRNAs and exosomes for Treg cell-mediated suppression. Transcriptional analysis and miRNA inhibitor studies showed that exosome-mediated transfer of Let-7d from Treg cell to Th1 cells contributed to suppression and prevention of systemic disease. These studies reveal a mechanism of Treg cell-mediated suppression mediated by miRNA-containing exosomes. Regulatory T cells (CD4+CD25hiFoxp3rfp+, Treg) were isolated from naive mice. RNA as extracted form some Treg cells, while others were cultured in complete IMDM media for 3 days, stimulated with anti-CD3 anti-CD3 (1ug/ml) and anti-CD28 (10ug/ml). Exosomes were recovered from Treg cell supernatant, as described, and RNA was extracted form the purified exosomes. To identify which miRNAs were transferred to Dicer-deficient (KO) cells from Treg cells, we cultured Dicer KO cells alone, or co-cultured Dicer KO cells with Treg cells. RNA was extracted form Dicer KO cells cultured alone or from Dicer KO cells cultured in the presence of Treg cells. 3 x biological replicates were used. Each biological replicate was derived from a pool of 3-5 samples.
Project description:Colostrum and milk have high nutritional value and provide a complete diet for neonates, along with bioactive substances which modulate various functions such as immune defense. Exosomes are membranous vesicles of endocytic origin, recently been considered as major players in cell-cell communication. The mechanisms by which milk components can prime the infant’s active immunity are not entirely clear, and exosomes are suggested to be essential for the infant’s physiological development. We assessed the exosomal proteome profile from milk samples obtained from 10 healthy sows, at day 0 (colostrum), day 7, and 14 post-partum. Exosomes were isolated by ultracentrifugation coupled with size exclusion chromatography, and were characterized by nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy and Western blotting for exosome markers. Isolated exosomes were in-gel digested and after TMT-labelling of the peptides, they were subjected to LC-MS/MS. Quantitative proteomics analysis revealed different proteome profiles for colostrum exosomes and milk exosomes, and functional analysis highlighted pathways related to immune response, cellular development, and regulation of cellular processes. This study endorses the importance of exosomes as active biocomponents of milk and provides knowledge for future studies exploring their role in regulation of immunity and growth of the newborn.
Project description:<p>Bacteria secrete exosomes containing stress-related molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, which facilitate adaptation to challenging environments. In order to elucidate the role of A. acidoterrestris exosomes in its acid stress response, this study combined proteomics and metabolomics to analyze the function and biological pathway of exosomes in A. acidoterrestris against acid stress The results of exosome proteomics showed that spore coat protein D, SecA, YidC, chemotactic protein CheA, methyl-accepting chemotactic protein (MCP), serine-type D-alanine-D-alanine carboxypeptidase protein, and lipid II glutamine synthetase subunit GatD protein were significantly up-regulated. These proteins are mainly enriched in ABC transporters, two-component systems, quorum sensing, peptidoglycan biosynthesis and other pathways. The results of exosomal metabolomics showed that 83 and 68 differential metabolites were detected in positive and positive ion modes, respectively. These metabolites were mainly enriched in ABC transporters, carbohydrate metabolism and amino acid metabolism. This study showed that the exosome proteins and metabolites secreted by A. acidoterrestris under acid stress changed significantly, revealing the overall response of A. acidoterrestris to acid stress, and pointing out the possible future direction for the effective control and application of A. acidoterrestris</p>

Project description:Unhealable diabetic wounds need to be addressed with the help of newer, more efficacious strategies. Exosomes combined with biomaterials for sustained delivery of therapeutic agents are expected to bring new hope for chronic wound treatment. Here, the engineered exosomes modified for efficiently loading miR-146a and attaching to silk fibroin patch were demonstrated to promote diabetic wound healing. The transcriptomics analysis suggested anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects with SGM-miR146a-Exo@SFP treatment.
Project description:Exosomes are nanosized extracellular vesicles with lipid bilayer membranes and contain various contents, including lipids, miRNAs and proteins, all of which are widely involved in signaling pathways and genetic information processes. Exosomes derived from adipose tissues (AT-Exos) have been identified as a crucialmedium in the transmission of information from adipose tissue to itself and to other organs, including exosomes derived from inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT-Exos), visceral white adipose tissue (vWAT-Exos) and brown adipose tissue (BAT-Exos). Here we reported that dietary conditions and tissue origins of exosome can affect the composition and function of miRNAs in AT-Exos, mainly including lipid metabolism and inflammatory signaling pathways associated with metabolic imbalance.
