Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies

3.4K
Intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) are small vesicles 50-80 nm in diameter formed during the maturation of early endosomes. A specialized endosome containing numerous ILVs is called a multivesicular body (MVB). ILVs contain internalized molecules such as antigens, nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites. Some of these molecules are released from the MVBs inside exosomes and are transported to other cells. Other MVBs contain molecules that are retained in the ILVs and are later degraded within the...

Overview of Exosomes

2.7K
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...

Background:

  • Autoantibodies are proteins produced by B cells against self-antigens.
  • Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by cells and found in bodily fluids.
  • EVs can present self-antigens, influencing autoantibody production and immune complex formation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current knowledge on EVs, autoantibodies, and EV antigens.
  • To highlight the formation and function of EV autoantibodies.
  • To discuss their role in autoimmune diseases and cancers.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on EVs and autoantibodies.
  • Synthesis of information regarding EV autoantibody formation and function.
  • Analysis of potential roles in disease pathogenesis and diagnostics.

Main Results:

  • EVs loaded with self-antigens can form functional immune complexes with autoantibodies (EV autoantibodies).
  • EV autoantibodies are involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and cancers.
  • These complexes represent potential non-invasive biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis.

Conclusions:

  • EV autoantibodies are significant in disease development.
  • EV autoantibodies show promise as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate their molecular characteristics and disease contribution.
