Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies

3.7K
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

2.8K
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...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells01:19

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

5.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show therapeutic potential, often attributed to paracrine signaling via extracellular vesicles (EVs).
  • Understanding the microRNA (miRNA) content of MSC-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) is crucial for their therapeutic application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively characterize and compare miRNA expression profiles in human MSC-EVs versus their parental MSCs.
  • To identify specific miRNAs enriched in either MSCs or MSC-EVs under xeno-free conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Isolation and characterization of human bone marrow-derived MSCs and MSC-EVs following established international guidelines.
  • NanoString nCounter profiling to quantify mature miRNA expression in both MSCs and MSC-EVs.
  • Bioinformatic analysis of miRNA expression data and functional pathway enrichment analysis.

Main Results:

  • 590 mature miRNAs were detected; 42 showed significant differential expression between MSCs and MSC-EVs.
  • Distinct miRNA signatures were identified, with 5 miRNAs highly expressed in MSCs and 5 in MSC-EVs.
  • Differentially expressed miRNAs were associated with cell proliferation, differentiation, and immune regulation pathways.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides a standardized miRNA profiling of MSC-EVs and parental MSCs.
  • The identified miRNA cargo profiles offer insights into MSC-EV therapeutic mechanisms.
  • This characterization facilitates improved comparability of datasets for advancing MSC-EV therapeutics.
