Overview of Exosomes01:36

Overview of Exosomes

3.9K
Exosomes are stable, lipid bilayer-enclosed vesicles capable of crossing biological barriers. They can carry a wide range of molecules required for intercellular communication. Once exosomes are released from the cell where they originated, they enter a recipient cell through various pathways such as fusion, receptor-mediated endocytosis, macropinocytosis, and phagocytosis.
Stahl et al. discovered exosomes in 1983, but the exosomes were initially considered waste products released from the...

Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response

8.4K
Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells01:19

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

6.1K
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that can differentiate into most connective tissue cell types, except for hematopoietic cells, depending upon the source of MSCs. For example, bone-marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) can differentiate into osteocytes, hepatocytes, and pancreatic and neuronal cells. MSCs can be isolated from various sources such as bone marrow, placenta, adipose tissue, teeth, and Wharton’s jelly, a gelatinous substance in the umbilical cord. The ease of their...

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

4.4K
All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...

Inflammatory Response01:28

Inflammatory Response

19.6K
An inflammatory response is a localized, nonspecific immune reaction that occurs when a tissue is injured. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are commonly called the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation. Inflammation can sometimes result in a loss of function.
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, carry microRNAs (miRs) that regulate gene expression. Inflammatory conditions alter monocyte miR expression, affecting exosome content and target cells.

Area of Science:

  • Cell biology
  • Molecular biology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes, are released by cells and contain microRNAs (miRs).
  • miRs within exosomes regulate gene expression in recipient cells by targeting messenger RNAs (mRNAs).
  • Peripheral inflammation can alter miR expression in immune cells like monocytes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how peripheral inflammatory conditions affect miR expression in monocytes.
  • To understand the impact of these miR changes on exosome content.
  • To explore how altered exosome content influences end-organ target cells.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of miR expression in circulating monocytes under inflammatory conditions.
  • Characterization of exosome content from monocyte-derived macrophages.
  • Assessment of the effects of modified exosomes on target cells (not explicitly detailed but implied).

Main Results:

  • Peripheral inflammation modulates miR expression in circulating monocytes.
  • Changes in monocyte-derived macrophage miR expression alter the composition of released exosomes.
  • Modified exosome content has the potential to affect end-organ target cells.

Conclusions:

  • Monocyte miR expression is sensitive to peripheral inflammation.
  • Exosomes serve as mediators of intercellular communication influenced by inflammatory states.
  • Dysregulated exosome content due to inflammation may contribute to disease pathogenesis.
