The Extracellular Matrix

12.3K
Overview
In order to maintain tissue organization, many animal cells are surrounded by structural molecules that make up the extracellular matrix (ECM). Together, the molecules in the ECM maintain the structural integrity of tissue as well as the remarkable specific properties of certain tissues.
Composition of the Extracellular Matrix
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is commonly composed of ground substance, a gel-like fluid, fibrous components, and many structurally and functionally diverse...

Insulin Secretory Vesicles01:05

Insulin Secretory Vesicles

7.0K
Insulin secretory vesicles release insulin to stimulate blood glucose uptake and regulate carbohydrate metabolism. When the blood glucose levels increase, glucose enters the pancreatic β-islet cells through glucose transporters. Once inside, glucose is metabolized through glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain, producing ATP. This increase in ATP concentration closes ATP-sensitive potassium channels, leading to depolarization of the membrane and the opening of...

Overview of Secretory Vesicles

9.5K
Secretory vesicles, also known as dense core vesicles (DCVs), are membrane-bound vesicles that transport secretory proteins, such as hormones or neurotransmitters. Regulated secretory vesicles transport proteins from the trans-Golgi network to the exterior of the cell. Proteins present in regulated secretory vesicles are required to be rapidly exocytosed in large amounts upon a specific stimulus.
Various proteins regulate the aggregation of molecules inside the secretory vesicles. Chromogranins...

The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles

6.5K
In eukaryotic cells,  cytoskeletal filaments such as actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments form a mesh-like cytoskeletal network. These filaments serve as tracks for transporting cellular cargo. Specialized motor proteins use the chemical energy stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for this transport. During interphase, microtubules are polarized, with the plus-end towards the cell periphery and the minus-end towards the cell center. Two microtubule-associated motor proteins,...

Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles01:32

Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles

4.2K
Vesicle budding is orchestrated by distinct cytosolic proteins such as adaptor proteins, coat proteins, and GTPases. To initiate vesicle budding, membrane-bending proteins containing crescent-shaped BAR domains bind to the lipid heads in the bilayer and distort the membrane to form a protein-coated vesicle bud. Adaptors proteins such as AP2 for clathrin-coated vesicles can nucleate on the deformed membrane. Finally, coat proteins such as clathrin or COPI and COPII assemble into a coat forming...

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Nanotechnology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are crucial for intercellular communication and are classified into subsets based on biogenesis.
  • Investigating EV subpopulations requires effective isolation methods, but current techniques have limitations in separating and correlating EV properties.
  • Existing density and size-based isolation methods show modest efficacy in separating EV subpopulations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an advanced method for isolating extracellular vesicle subpopulations based on size with high resolution.
  • To investigate the correlation between extracellular vesicle size and the expression of key tetraspanin proteins.
  • To establish a new classification system for extracellular vesicles based on size and specific protein markers.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Marangoni flow and the coffee-ring effect in microdroplets for size-dependent spatial deposition of extracellular vesicles.
  • Achieved size separation of extracellular vesicles with approximately 48 nm resolution.
  • Analyzed tetraspanin protein expression (CD9, CD63, CD81) in size-separated extracellular vesicle subpopulations.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a correlation between extracellular vesicle size and the expression of tetraspanin proteins, specifically CD63.
  • Found uniform expression of CD9 and CD81 across different extracellular vesicle sizes.
  • Observed high expression of CD63 exclusively in larger extracellular vesicles.

Conclusions:

  • Extracellular vesicles can be effectively classified based on their size and the expression levels of CD63.
  • The developed microdroplet-based method offers a high-resolution approach for isolating and analyzing extracellular vesicle subpopulations.
  • This size-based classification with protein marker correlation provides new insights into extracellular vesicle heterogeneity.
