Project description:RationaleExtracellular vesicles (EVs) contain bioactive cargo including microRNAs (miRNAs) and proteins that are released by cells as a form of cell-cell communication. Endothelial cells (ECs) form the innermost lining of all blood vessels and thereby interface with cells in the circulation as well as cells residing in the vascular wall. It is unknown whether ECs have the capacity to release EVs capable of governing recipient cells within two separate compartments, and how this is affected by endothelial activation commonly seen in atheroprone regions.ObjectiveGiven their boundary location, we propose that ECs utilize bidirectional release of distinct EV cargo in quiescent and activated states to communicate with cells within the circulation and blood vessel wall.Methods and resultsEVs were isolated from primary human aortic endothelial cells (ECs) (+/-IL-1β activation), quantified, and analysed by miRNA transcriptomics and proteomics. Compared to quiescent ECs, activated ECs increased EV release, with miRNA and protein cargo that were related to atherosclerosis. RNA sequencing of EV-treated monocytes and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) revealed that EVs from activated ECs altered pathways that were pro-inflammatory and atherogenic. Apical and basolateral EV release was assessed using ECs on transwells. ECs released more EVs apically, which increased with activation. Apical and basolateral EV cargo contained distinct transcriptomes and proteomes that were altered by EC activation. Notably, basolateral EC-EVs displayed greater changes in the EV secretome, with pathways specific to atherosclerosis. In silico analysis determined that compartment-specific cargo released by the apical and basolateral surfaces of ECs can reprogram monocytes and SMCs, respectively.ConclusionsThe demonstration that ECs are capable of polarized EV cargo loading and directional EV secretion reveals a novel paradigm for endothelial communication, which may ultimately enhance our ability to design endothelial-based therapeutics for cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis where ECs are persistently activated.
