Overview of Exosomes01:36

Overview of Exosomes

3.8K
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...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

3.3K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair

8.1K
The immune system's inflammatory response destroys the invading pathogen, permitting the tissue to heal. The changes during the cellular and vascular stages allow exudate formation at the site of inflammation. The inflammatory exudate released from the wound has high protein content and a specific gravity above 1.020.
The typical wound exudate is odorless, transparent, straw-colored, thin, and watery. Exudate, however, can differ depending on the state of wound healing. Likewise, the...

Phases of Wound Repair

8.7K
Following injury, the integrity of the injured tissues must be reestablished. For example, in skin tissue, wound repair involves coordination among resident skin cells, blood mononuclear cells, extracellular matrix, growth factors, and cytokines to complete the healing cascade.
Formation of Blood Clot
In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Gut epithelial cells release exosomes into mesenteric lymph after trauma and shock, impairing dendritic cell function and contributing to immune dysfunction. This study identifies these exosomes as key mediators of posttraumatic immunosuppression.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Exosomes mediate immune responses; trauma/hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) linked exosomes to lung injury.
  • Cellular origin and role of mesenteric lymph (ML) exosomes in post-T/HS immunity were unclear.
  • Hypothesized exosomes from damaged gut cells alter dendritic cell (DC) function, causing immune dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Determine the cellular origin of ML exosomes post-T/HS.
  • Investigate the immunomodulatory effects of ML exosomes on DCs.
  • Clarify the role of ML exosomes in posttraumatic immune dysfunction.

Main Methods:

  • Collected ML exosomes from rats before and after T/HS.
  • Assessed exosome surface markers via flow cytometry to identify cellular origin.
  • Evaluated ML exosome effects on DC apoptosis, costimulatory molecule expression, and antigen presentation.

Main Results:

  • ML exosomes expressed epithelial markers, confirming gut origin.
  • Post-T/HS ML exosomes showed increased MHC class II and Fas ligand.
  • Exosomes increased DC apoptosis and suppressed DC activation and antigen-presenting capacity.

Conclusions:

  • Gut epithelial cells release immunomodulatory exosomes into ML post-T/HS.
  • ML exosomes are critical mediators of posttraumatic immunosuppression.
  • Exosomes contribute to DC depletion and dysfunction, impairing adaptive immunity.
