Multiple roles of extracellular vesicles in promoting microbial driven elemental cycle

ABSTRACT:

Microbial driven manganese (Mn) reduction influences the geochemical cycling of Mn and the environmental fate of various organic and inorganic substances. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are known to impact microbial metabolic activities, but their specific role in Mn reduction remains arcane. Here, we investigated the potential and mechanistic roles of EVs in this process by integrating metagenomic analysis of environmental EVs with functional assays in representative dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria. Microbial physiological assays and in situ electrochemical analyses revealed that the addition of EVs enhanced cellular metabolism, promoted biofilm formation, and facilitated extracellular electron transfer. The presence of various redox enzymes and metabolites in EVs contributed to more efficient substrate utilization and energy conservation. The electron transfer-promoting effect of EVs is primarily attributed to OmcA/MtrC, CymA, and FMN. These findings highlight the multifaceted role of EVs in microbial Mn reduction and suggest their broader involvement in elemental cycling and pollutant degradation.

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)

Leishmania parasites exchange drug-resistance genes through extracellular vesicles

Project description:Leishmania are ancient eukaryotes that have retained the ability to produce extracellular vesicles (EVs) through evolution. Until date, it was unclear if different DNA entities could be associated to Leishmania EVs, and whether these could constitute a novel mechanism of horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Herein, we investigated the DNA content of EVs derived from drug-resistant parasites, as well as the potential of EVs as shuttles for DNA transfer. Next-generation sequencing, and PCR assays confirmed the enrichment of amplicons carrying drug-resistance genes associated to EVs. Transfer assays of drug-resistant EVs highlighted a significant impact in the phenotype of recipient parasites induced by the expression of the transferred DNA. Recipient parasites displayed an enhanced growth and better control of oxidative stress. We provide the first evidence that eukaryotic EVs function as efficient mediators in HGT, thereby facilitating the transmission of drug-resistance genes and increasing the fitness of cells when encountering stressful environments.

The Taxonomic and Metabolic Potential Susceptibility of Microbial Community to Aeolian Grassland Soil Erosion and Deposition

Project description:Aeolian soil erosion, exacerbated by anthropogenic perturbations, has become one of the most alarming processes of land degradation and desertification. By contrast, dust deposition might confer a potential fertilization effect. To examine how they affect topsoil microbial community, we conducted a study GeoChip techniques in a semiarid grassland of Inner Mongolia, China. We found that microbial communities were significantly (P<0.039) altered and most of microbial functional genes associated with carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium cycling were decreased or remained unaltered in relative abundance by both erosion and deposition, which might be attributed to acceleration of organic matter mineralization by the breakdown of aggregates during dust transport and deposition. As a result, there were strong correlations between microbial carbon and nitrogen cycling genes. amyA genes encoding alpha-amylases were significantly (P=0.01) increased by soil deposition, reflecting changes of carbon profiles. Consistently, plant abundance, total nitrogen and total organic carbon were correlated with functional gene composition, revealing the importance of environmental nutrients to soil microbial function potentials. Collectively, our results identified microbial indicator species and functional genes of aeolian soil transfer, and demonstrated that functional genes had higher susceptibility to environmental nutrients than taxonomy. Given the ecological importance of aeolian soil transfer, knowledge gained here are crucial for assessing microbe-mediated nutrient cyclings and human health hazard. The experimental sites comprised of three treatments of control, soil erosion and deposition, with 5 replicates of each treatment.

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.
