In this proteomics-based study, we aimed to identify a characteristic protein fingerprint associated with central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Overall, 96 human serum samples were obtained from four patient groups, namely glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), non-small-cell lung cancer brain metastasis (BM), meningioma (M) and lumbar disc hernia patients (CTRL). After the isolation and characterization of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), liquid chromatography -mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was performed on two different sample types (whole serum and serum sEVs). Statistical analyses (ratio, Cohen's d, receiver operating characteristic; ROC) were carried out to compare patient groups. To recognize differences between the two sample types, pairwise comparisons (Welch's test) and ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) were performed. According to our knowledge, this is the first study that compares the proteome of whole serum and serum-derived sEVs. From the 311 proteins identified, 10 whole serum proteins and 17 sEV proteins showed the highest intergroup differences. Sixty-five proteins were significantly enriched in sEV samples, while 129 proteins were significantly depleted compared to whole serum. Based on principal component analysis (PCA) analyses, sEVs are more suitable to discriminate between the patient groups. Our results support that sEVs have greater potential to monitor CNS tumors, than whole serum. (hide)

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EV) mediate intercellular communication events and alterations in normal ves (show more...)Extracellular vesicles (EV) mediate intercellular communication events and alterations in normal vesicle content contribute to function and disease initiation or progression. The ability to package a variety of cargo and transmit molecular information between cells renders EVs important mediators of cell-to-cell crosstalk. Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is a chief viral oncoprotein expressed in most Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated cancers and is released from cells at high levels in EVs. LMP1 containing EVs have been demonstrated to promote cell growth, migration, differentiation, and regulate immune cell function. Despite these significant changes in recipient cells induced by LMP1 modified EVs, the mechanism how this viral oncogene modulates the recipient cells towards these phenotypes is not well understood. We hypothesize that LMP1 alters EV content and following uptake of the LMP1-modified EVs by the recipient cells results in the activation of cell signaling pathways and increased gene expression which modulates the biological properties of recipient cell towards a new phenotype. Our results show that LMP1 expression alters the EV protein and microRNA content packaged into EVs. The LMP1-modified EVs also enhance recipient cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, invasion concomitant with the activation of ERK, AKT, and NF-κB signaling pathways. The LMP1 containing EVs induced transcriptome reprogramming in the recipient cells by altering gene expression of different targets including cadherins, matrix metalloproteinases 9 (MMP9), MMP2 and integrin-α5 which contribute to extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Altogether, our data demonstrate the mechanism in which LMP1-modified EVs reshape the tumor microenvironment by increasing gene expression of ECM interaction proteins. (hide)

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological processe (show more...)Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes by shuttling material out of and between cells. Tissue EVs may thus lend insights into disease mechanisms and also betray disease when released into easily accessed biological fluids. Since brain-derived EVs (bdEVs) and their cargo may serve as biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases, we evaluated modifications to a published, rigorous protocol for separation of EVs from brain tissue and studied effects of processing variables on quantitative and qualitative outcomes. To this end, size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation were compared as final separation steps in protocols involving stepped ultracentrifugation. bdEVs were separated from brain tissues of human, macaque, and mouse. Effects of tissue perfusion and a model of post-mortem interval (PMI) before final bdEV separation were probed. MISEV2018-compliant EV characterization was performed, and both small RNA and protein profiling were done. We conclude that the modified, SEC-employing protocol achieves EV separation efficiency roughly similar to a protocol using gradient density ultracentrifugation, while decreasing operator time and, potentially, variability. The protocol appears to yield bdEVs of higher purity for human tissues compared with those of macaque and, especially, mouse, suggesting opportunities for optimization. Where possible, perfusion should be performed in animal models. The interval between death/tissue storage/processing and final bdEV separation can also affect bdEV populations and composition and should thus be recorded for rigorous reporting. Finally, different populations of EVs obtained through the modified method reported herein display characteristic RNA and protein content that hint at biomarker potential. To conclude, this study finds that the automatable and increasingly employed technique of SEC can be applied to tissue EV separation, and also reveals more about the importance of species-specific and technical considerations when working with tissue EVs. These results are expected to enhance the use of bdEVs in revealing and understanding brain disease. (hide)

However, there is proof that certain features of aging and senescence can be ameliorated. Here, we provide evidence that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) isolated from primary fibroblasts of young human donors ameliorate certain biomarkers of senescence in cells derived from old and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome donors. Importantly, sEVs from young cells ameliorate senescence in a variety of tissues in old mice. Mechanistically, we identified sEVs to have intrinsic glutathione-S-transferase activity partially due to the high levels of expression of the glutathione-related protein (GSTM2). Transfection of recombinant GSTM2 into sEVs derived from old fibroblasts restores their antioxidant capacity. sEVs increase the levels of reduced glutathione and decrease oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation both in vivo and in vitro. Altogether, our data provide an indication of the potential of sEVs as regenerative therapy in aging. (hide)

Abstract
Aging is a process of cellular and tissue dysfunction characterized by different hallmarks, includin (show more...)Aging is a process of cellular and tissue dysfunction characterized by different hallmarks, including cellular senescence. However, there is proof that certain features of aging and senescence can be ameliorated. Here, we provide evidence that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) isolated from primary fibroblasts of young human donors ameliorate certain biomarkers of senescence in cells derived from old and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome donors. Importantly, sEVs from young cells ameliorate senescence in a variety of tissues in old mice. Mechanistically, we identified sEVs to have intrinsic glutathione-S-transferase activity partially due to the high levels of expression of the glutathione-related protein (GSTM2). Transfection of recombinant GSTM2 into sEVs derived from old fibroblasts restores their antioxidant capacity. sEVs increase the levels of reduced glutathione and decrease oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation both in vivo and in vitro. Altogether, our data provide an indication of the potential of sEVs as regenerative therapy in aging. (hide)

Abstract
Direct tracing of small extracellular vesicle (sEV) cargoes holds unprecedented importance for eluci (show more...)Direct tracing of small extracellular vesicle (sEV) cargoes holds unprecedented importance for elucidating the mechanisms involved in intercellular communication. However, high-fidelity determination of sEVs' molecular cargoes in situ has yet to be achieved due to the difficulty in transporting molecular probes into intact sEVs. Herein, a fLuorescent Intracellular-Guided Hairpin-Tetrahedron (fLIGHT) nanoprobe is described for direct visualization of sEV microRNAs in situ. Integrating the advantages of nondestructive sEV penetration via DNA origami and single-nucleotide discrimination as well as wash-free fluorescence readout using a hairpin probe, the proposed approach enables high-fidelity fluorescence visualization of sEVs' microRNA without RNA extraction or leakage, demonstrating the potential of on-site tracing of sEV cargoes. This strategy opens an avenue to establishing universal molecular detection and labeling platforms that can facilitate both sEV-derived fundamental biological studies and molecular diagnostics.

Abstract
Autologous blood products gain increasing interest in the field of regenerative medicine as well as (show more...)Autologous blood products gain increasing interest in the field of regenerative medicine as well as in orthopedics, aesthetic surgery, and cosmetics. Currently, citrate-anticoagulated platelet-rich plasma (CPRP) preparations are often applied in osteoarthritis (OA), but more physiological and cell-free alternatives such as hyperacute serum (hypACT) are under development. Besides growth factors, blood products also bring along extracellular vesicles (EVs) packed with signal molecules, which open up a new level of complexity at evaluating the functional spectrum of blood products. Large proportions of EVs originated from platelets in CPRP and hypACT, whereas very low erythrocyte and monocyte-derived EVs were detected via flow cytometry. EV treatment of chondrocytes enhanced the expression of anabolic markers type II collagen, SRY-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9), and aggrecan compared to full blood products, but also the catabolic marker and tissue remodeling factor matrix metalloproteinase 3, whereas hypACT EVs prevented type I collagen expression. CPRP blood product increased SOX9 protein expression, in contrast to hypACT blood product. However, hypACT EVs induced SOX9 protein expression while preventing interleukin-6 secretion. The results indicate that blood EVs are sufficient to induce chondrogenic gene expression changes in OA chondrocytes, while preventing proinflammatory cytokine release compared to full blood product. This highlights the potential of autologous blood-derived EVs as regulators of cartilage extracellular matrix metabolism and inflammation, as well as candidates for new cell-free therapeutic approaches for OA.

Abstract

However, technical difficulties for salivary sEV isolation remain a challenge. Twelve participants (five periodontally healthy, seven gingivitis patients) were recruited and salivary sEV were isolated by ultracentrifuge (UC-sEV) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC-sEV). The effect of UC and SEC on sEV yield, DNA methylation of five cytokine gene promoters (interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-1β, IL-8, and IL-10), and functional uptake by human primary gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) was investigated. The results demonstrated that SEC-sEV had a higher yield of particles and particle/protein ratios compared to UC-sEV, with a minimal effect on the detection of DNA methylation of five cytokine genes and functional uptake in hGFs (n = 3). Comparing salivary sEV characteristics between gingivitis and healthy patients, gingivitis-UC-sEV were increased compared to the healthy group; while no differences were found in sEV size, oral bacterial gDNA, and DNA methylation for five cytokine gene promoters, for both UC-sEV and SEC-sEV. Overall, the data indicate that SEC results in a higher yield of salivary sEV, with no significant differences in sEV DNA epigenetics, compared to UC. (hide)

Follicular cells respond to heat stress (HS) by activating the expression of heat shock family proteins (HSPs) and other antioxidants. HS is reported to negatively affect the bi-directional communication between the follicular cells and the oocyte, which is partly mediated by follicular fluid extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from surrounding cells. As carriers of bioactive molecules (DNA, RNA, protein, and lipids), the involvement of EVs in mediating the stress response in follicular cells is not fully understood. Here we used an in vitro model to decipher the cellular and EV-coupled miRNAs of bovine granulosa cells in response to HS. Moreover, the protective role of stress-related EVs against subsequent HS was assessed. For this, bovine granulosa cells from smaller follicles were cultured in vitro and after sub-confluency, cells were either kept at 37 °C or subjected to HS (42 °C). Results showed that granulosa cells exposed to HS increased the accumulation of ROS, total oxidized protein, apoptosis, and the expression of HSPs and antioxidants, while the viability of cells was reduced. Moreover, 14 and 6 miRNAs were differentially expressed in heat-stressed granulosa cells and the corresponding EVs, respectively. Supplementation of stress-related EVs in cultured granulosa cells has induced adaptive response to subsequent HS. However, this potential was not pronounced when the cells were kept under 37 °C. Taking together, EVs generated from granulosa cells exposed to HS has the potential to shuttle bioactive molecules to recipient cells and make them robust to subsequent HS. (hide)

They are released by all cell types, including neurons, and are highly heterogenous in size and composition. Yet much remains unknown regarding the biophysical characteristics of different EVs. Here, using cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM), we analyzed the size distribution and morphology of EVs released from primary cortical neurons. We discovered massive macromolecular clusters on the luminal face of EV membranes. These clusters are predominantly found on medium-sized vesicles, suggesting that they may be specific to microvesicles as opposed to exosomes. We propose that these clusters serve as microdomains for EV signaling and play an important role in EV physiology. (hide)

Although the precipitation-based method with commercial kits has gained popularity as the second most commonly used technique, these protocols vary tremendously with many included reagents still unknown to the community. Methods: In this study, we assigned each of the 3 clinical plasma samples into 6 aliquots to assess five commercial EV isolation kits, in comparison with ultracentrifugation(UC). We implemented a standardized EV preparation and transcriptome analysis workflow except the EV isolation methods used. The metrics of EVs and its RNA cargo (evRNA) were compared to assess the technical variations versus the biological variations in the clinical setting. Results: Although the size range of the isolated EVs demonstrated a similar distribution, we found significant technical variability among these methods, in terms of EV amount, purity, subpopulations and RNA integrity. Such variabilities were further relayed to a drastic divergence of evRNA expression on a transcriptome-wide fashion. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated a highly variable result from polymeric precipitation-based EV isolation methods, making EVs based biomarker analysis difficult to interpret and reproduce. We highlighted the importance of benchmarking and transparent reporting of the precipitation-based protocols in the liquid biopsy research. (hide)

Although extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been confirmed as promising sources of disease biomarkers, little is known about the metabolite compositions of its subpopulations and their roles in the diagnosis of pleural effusion. Here, we performed metabolomics and lipidomics analysis to investigate the metabolite characteristics of two EV subpopulations derived from pleural effusion by differential ultracentrifugation, namely large EVs (lEVs, pelleted at 20,000 × g) and small EVs (sEVs, pelleted at 110,000 × g), and assessed their metabolite differences between tuberculosis and malignancy. A total of 579 metabolites, including amino acids, acylcarnitines, organic acids, steroids, amides and various lipid species, were detected. The results showed that the metabolic profiles of lEVs and sEVs overlapped with and difference from each other but significantly differed from those of pleural effusion. Additionally, different type of vesicles and pleural effusion showed unique metabolic enrichments. Furthermore, lEVs displayed more significant and larger metabolic alterations between the tuberculosis and malignancy groups, and their differential metabolites were more closely related to clinical parameters than those of sEV. Finally, a panel of four biomarker candidates, including phenylalanine, leucine, phosphatidylcholine 35:0, and sphingomyelin 44:3, in pleural lEVs was defined based on the comprehensive discovery and validation workflow. This panel showed high performance for distinguishing TPE and MPE, particularly in patients with delayed or missed diagnosis, such as the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) >0.95 in both sets. We conducted comprehensive metabolic profiling analysis of EVs, and further explored the metabolic reprogramming of tuberculosis and malignancy at the level of metabolites in lEVs and sEVs, providing insight into the mechanism of pleural effusion, and identifying novel biomarkers for diagnosing TPE and MPE.

This panel showed high performance for distinguishing TPE and MPE, particularly in patients with delayed or missed diagnosis, such as the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) >0.95 in both sets. We conducted comprehensive metabolic profiling analysis of EVs, and further explored the metabolic reprogramming of tuberculosis and malignancy at the level of metabolites in lEVs and sEVs, providing insight into the mechanism of pleural effusion, and identifying novel biomarkers for diagnosing TPE and MPE.

Abstract
Vascular dementia (VD) is one of the most common types of dementia, however, the intrinsic mechanism (show more...)Vascular dementia (VD) is one of the most common types of dementia, however, the intrinsic mechanism is unclear and there is still lack of effective medications. In this study, the VD rats exhibit a progressive cognitive impairment, as well as a time‐related increasing in hippocampal neural stem cells (H‐NSCs) senescence, lost and neurogenesis decline. Then, embryonic stem cell‐derived small extracellular vesicles (ESC‐sEVs) are intravenously injected into VD rats. ESC‐sEVs treatment significantly alleviates H‐NSCs senescence, recovers compromised proliferation and neuron differentiation capacity, and reverses cognitive impairment. By microarray analysis and RT‐qPCR it is identified that several miRNAs including miR‐17‐5p, miR‐18a‐5p, miR‐21‐5p, miR‐29a‐3p, and let‐7a‐5p, that can inhibit mTORC1 activation, exist in ESC‐sEVs. ESC‐sEVs rejuvenate H‐NSCs senescence partly by transferring these miRNAs to inhibit mTORC1 activation, promote transcription factor EB (TFEB) nuclear translocation and lysosome resumption. Taken together, these data indicate that H‐NSCs senescence cause cell depletion, neurogenesis reduction, and cognitive impairment in VD. ESC‐sEVs treatment ameliorates H‐NSCs senescence by inhibiting mTORC1 activation, and promoting TFEB nuclear translocation and lysosome resumption, thereby reversing senescence‐related neurogenesis dysfunction and cognitive impairment in VD. The application of ESC‐sEVs may be a novel cell‐free therapeutic tool for patients with VD, as well as other aging‐related diseases. (hide)

Protein S-acylation, frequently called palmitoylation, has been proposed as a post-translational mechanism that modulates the dynamics of EV biogenesis and protein cargo sorting. However, technical challenges have limited large-scale profiling of the whole palmitoyl-proteins of EVs. We successfully employed a novel approach that combines low-background acyl-biotinyl exchange (LB-ABE) with label-free proteomics to analyse the palmitoyl-proteome of large EVs (L-EVs) and small EVs (S-EVs) from prostate cancer cells. Here we report the first palmitoyl-protein signature of EVs, and demonstrate that L- and S-EVs harbour proteins associated with distinct biological processes and subcellular origin. We identified STEAP1, STEAP2, and ABCC4 as prostate cancer-specific palmitoyl-proteins abundant in both EV populations. Importantly, localization of the above proteins in EVs was reduced upon inhibition of palmitoylation in the producing cells. Our results suggest that this post-translational modification may play a role in the sorting of the EV-bound secretome and possibly enable selective detection of disease biomarkers. (hide)

Abstract

These include high curvature, lipid-packing defects and a relative abundance in lipids such as phosphatidylserine and ceramide. sEV membrane could be then considered as a “universal” marker, alternative or complementary to traditional, characteristic, surface-associated proteins. Here, we introduce the use of membrane-sensing peptides as new, highly efficient ligands to directly integrate sEV capturing and analysis on a microarray platform. Samples were analysed by label-free, single-particle counting and sizing, and by fluorescence co-localisation immune staining with fluorescent anti-CD9/anti-CD63/anti-CD81 antibodies. Peptides performed as selective yet general sEV baits and showed a binding capacity higher than anti-tetraspanins antibodies. Insights into surface chemistry for optimal peptide performances are also discussed, as capturing efficiency is strictly bound to probes surface orientation effects. We anticipate that this new class of ligands, also due to the versatility and limited costs of synthetic peptides, may greatly enrich the molecular toolbox for EV analysis. (hide)

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EV) are increasingly being recognized as important vehicles of intercellular (show more...)Extracellular vesicles (EV) are increasingly being recognized as important vehicles of intercellular communication and promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in cancer. Despite this enormous clinical potential, the plethora of methods to separate EV from biofluids, providing material of highly variable purity, and lacking knowledge regarding methodological repeatability pose a barrier to clinical translation. Urine is considered an ideal proximal fluid for the study of EV in urological cancers due to its direct contact with the urogenital system. We demonstrate that density-based fractionation of urine by bottom-up Optiprep density gradient centrifugation separates EV and soluble proteins with high specificity and repeatability. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of urinary EV (uEV) in men with benign and malignant prostate disease allowed us to significantly expand the known human uEV proteome with high specificity and identifies a unique biological profile in prostate cancer not uncovered by the analysis of soluble proteins. In addition, profiling the proteome of EV separated from prostate tumour conditioned medium and matched uEV confirms the specificity of the identified uEV proteome for prostate cancer. Finally, a comparative proteomic analysis with uEV from patients with bladder and renal cancer provided additional evidence of the selective enrichment of protein signatures in uEV reflecting their respective cancer tissues of origin. In conclusion, this study identifies hundreds of previously undetected proteins in uEV of prostate cancer patients and provides a powerful toolbox to map uEV content and contaminants ultimately allowing biomarker discovery in urological cancers.

To which extent anticoagulation affects their concentration, cellular origin and protein composition is largely unexplored. To study this, blood from 23 healthy subjects was collected in acid citrate dextrose (ACD), citrate or EDTA, or without anticoagulation to obtain serum. EVs were isolated by ultracentrifugation or by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) for fluorescence-SEC. EVs were analyzed by micro flow cytometry, NTA, TEM, Western blot, and protein mass spectrometry. The plasma EV concentration was unaffected by anticoagulants, but serum contained more platelet EVs. The protein composition of plasma EVs differed between anticoagulants, and between plasma and serum. Comparison to other studies further revealed that the shared EV protein composition resembles the "protein corona" of synthetic nanoparticles incubated in plasma or serum. In conclusion, we have validated a higher concentration of platelet EVs in serum than plasma by contemporary EV methods. Anticoagulation should be carefully described (i) to enable study comparison, (ii) to utilize available sample cohorts, and (iii) when preparing/selecting biobank samples. Further, the similarity of the EV protein corona and that of nanoparticles implicates that EVs carry both intravesicular and extravesicular cargo, which will expand their applicability for biomarker discovery.

Abstract
Tissue-resident stem cell senescence leads to stem cell exhaustion, which is a major cause of physio (show more...)Tissue-resident stem cell senescence leads to stem cell exhaustion, which is a major cause of physiological and pathological ageing. Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (SC-EVs) have been reported in preclinical studies to possess therapeutic potential for diverse diseases. However, whether SC-EVs can rejuvenate senescent tissue stem cells to prevent age-related disorders still remains unknown. Here, we show that chronic application of human embryonic stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (hESC-sEVs) rescues the function of senescent bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and prevents age-related bone loss in ageing mice. Transcriptome analysis revealed that hESC-sEVs treatment upregulated the expression of genes involved in antiaging, stem cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in BM-MSCs. Furthermore, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis identified 4122 proteins encapsulated in hESC-sEVs. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that the protein components in the hESCs-sEVs function in a synergistic way to induce the activation of several canonical signalling pathways, including Wnt, Sirtuin, AMPK, PTEN signalling, which results in the upregulation of antiaging genes in BM-MSCs and then the recovery of senescent BM-MSCs function. Collectively, our findings reveal the effect of hESC-sEVs in reversing BM-MSCs senescence and age-related osteogenic dysfunction, thereby preventing age-related bone loss. Because hESC-sEVs could alleviate senescence of tissue-resident stem cells, they might be promising therapeutic candidates for age-related diseases. (hide)

Methods of EV isolation such as ultracentrifugation (UC) may not be feasible for the study of EVs in human milk due to the need for large sample volume. A technique to isolate EVs from a small volume of human milk using a precipitation reagent is described herein. Electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and semi-quantitative antibody array were conducted to confirm isolation of human milk EVs. Count, size, protein content, and fatty acid quantification of EVs were determined. This isolation technique yielded 8.9 x 10 (± 1.1 × 10) EV particles/mL of human milk. The present method meets the Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles (MISEV) guidelines. An established EV isolation method suitable for a low volume of human milk will facilitate further research in this growing area. (hide)

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-derived exosome therapy has emerged as an effective therapy strategy (show more...)Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-derived exosome therapy has emerged as an effective therapy strategy for the pathological scar formation. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been completely understood. In the current study, we investigate the therapeutic effect of TSG-6 modified MSC-derived exosomes on a mouse full-thickness wound model and provide evidence of a possible mechanism for MSC-derived exosomes to prevent from scar formation. Overexpression and knockdown of TSG-6 were conducted by lentivirus infection into hBMSCs. Exosomes were isolated from cell culture and identified by transmission electron microscopy and Western blot. C57BL/6J mice were performed of full-thickness skin wounds and treated with exosomal suspension or TSG-6-neutralizing antibody. H&E staining was subjected to observe the pathological changes of scar tissues. Immunohistochemistry, ELISA, real time-PCR and Western blot were applied to detect the expressions of relevant molecules. The results showed that subcutaneous injection of TSG-6 overexpressed MSC-derived exosomes effectively ameliorated scar pathological injury, decreased inflammatory molecular secretion and attenuated collagen deposition in a mouse skin wound model. Reversely, knockdown of TSG-6 abrogated the therapeutic effect of MSC-derived exosomes on scarring. Moreover, TSG-6-neutralizing antibody counteracted the effect of TSG-6 overexpressed MSC-derived exosomes in preventing scar formation. In conclusion, we demonstrated that exosomes derived from TSG-6 modified MSCs suppressed scar formation via reducing inflammation and inhibiting collagen deposition. (hide)

Abstract
Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer alternative approaches to stem cell-based thera (show more...)Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer alternative approaches to stem cell-based therapy for regenerative medicine. In this study, stem cell EVs derived during differentiation are developed to use as cell-free therapeutic systems by inducing tissue-specific differentiation. EVs are isolated from human adipose-derived stem cells (HASCs) during white and beige adipogenic differentiation (D-EV and BD-EV, respectively) via tangential flow filtration. D-EV and BD-EV can successfully differentiate HASCs into white and beige adipocytes, respectively. D-EV are transplanted with collagen/methylcellulose hydrogels on the backs of BALB/c mice, and they produce numerous lipid droplets in injected sites. Treatments of BD-EV attenuate diet-induced obesity through browning of adipose tissue in mice. Furthermore, high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis and glucose tolerance are improved by BD-EV treatment. miRNAs are responsible for the observed effects of BD-EV. These results reveal that secreted EVs during stem cell differentiation into white adipocytes or beige adipocytes can promote cell reprogramming. (hide)

Pathological angiogenesis is a hallmark of several conditions including eye diseases, inflammatory d (show more...)Pathological angiogenesis is a hallmark of several conditions including eye diseases, inflammatory diseases, and cancer. Stromal cells play a crucial role in regulating angiogenesis through the release of soluble factors or direct contact with endothelial cells. Here, we analysed the properties of the extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and explored the possibility of using them to therapeutically target angiogenesis. We demonstrated that in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines, MSCs produce EVs that are enriched in TIMP-1, CD39 and CD73 and inhibit angiogenesis targeting both extracellular matrix remodelling and endothelial cell migration. We identified a novel anti-angiogenic mechanism based on adenosine production, triggering of A adenosine receptors, and induction of NOX2-dependent oxidative stress within endothelial cells. Finally, in pilot experiments, we exploited the anti-angiogenic EVs to inhibit tumour progression . Our results identify novel pathways involved in the crosstalk between endothelial and stromal cell and suggest new therapeutic strategies to target pathological angiogenesis. (hide)

Spontaneous abortion is a common complication in early pregnancy, with an incidence of around 20%. U (show more...)Spontaneous abortion is a common complication in early pregnancy, with an incidence of around 20%. Ultrasound scan and measurement of human chorionic gonadotropin are used to identify patients at risk of spontaneous abortion; however, there is a clinical need to find new biomarkers to prospectively identify patients before the onset of clinical symptoms. Here, we aim to investigate potential biomarkers of spontaneous abortion taken in the first clinical appointment of pregnancy. A case-control study was conducted based on a prospectively collected cohort in which cases and controls were retrospectively stratified based on pregnancy outcome: normal healthy pregnancies (controls = 33) and pregnancies that ended in spontaneous abortion (cases = 10). We evaluated extracellular vesicles isolated by precipitation with ExoQuick™ and protein concentrations of tissue plasminogen activator, leptin, and adiponectin measured by ELISA. The extracellular vesicles showed the typical morphology and membrane proteins: CD63, Alix, and Flotilin-1. The size distributions of the isolated extracellular vesicles were 112 ± 27 and 118 ± 28 nm in diameter for controls and spontaneous abortion, respectively, and the total amount of extracellular vesicles did not show any difference between controls and the spontaneous abortion group. The tissue plasminogen activator showed a significant difference (p = 0.0004) between both groups, although neither adiponectin nor leptin revealed significant changes, indicating that women who had spontaneous abortions have significantly higher levels of tissue plasminogen activator than women who had normal pregnancies.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy which is a leading cause of maternal and f (show more...)Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy which is a leading cause of maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, HIV/Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Treatment has been associated with the increased risk of preeclampsia due to maternal immune reconstitution, which complicates the clinical diagnosis of PE in these patients. It is therefore necessary to identify biomarkers involved in the pathology of both disorders with the intent to diagnose. Exosomal cytokines represent ideal biomarkers of PE and inflammatory conditions due to their immunomodulatory role in pregnancy. We therefore quantified exosomal Th1 (IL-2 and TNF-α) and Th2 cytokines (IL-10) in maternal circulation. A significant dysregulation in total exosomes, placental-derived exosomes and exosomal cytokines in PE and HIV-positive PE pregnant woman on Highly Active Antiretroviral Treatment (HAART) was observed (p < 0.01). Additionally, we observed a significant shift towards Th1 immunity in PE which becomes amplified in HIV-positive PE pregnant woman on HAART (p < 0.01). Moreover, we show the potential application of exosomal Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) as a biomarker of PE and PE in HIV-positive pregnant women on HAART (CI: 95%, LHR > 10, sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 90%). These findings are in support of exosome release and exosome cytokine encapsulation as a tightly regulated process in favour of maintaining the immune microenvironment, which can orchestrate either normal pregnancy, or the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and preeclampsia in HIV/HAART pregnancies.

Here, we produced extracellular vesicles (EVs) exposing ACE2 and demonstrate that ACE2‐EVs are efficient decoys for SARS‐CoV‐2 S protein‐containing lentivirus. Reduction of infectivity positively correlates with the level of ACE2, is much more efficient than with soluble ACE2 and further enhanced by the inclusion of TMPRSS2. (hide)
