Exosomes, the endogenous nanocarriers that can deliver biological information between cells, were recently introduced as new kind of drug delivery system. However, mammalian cells release relatively low quantities exosomes, and purification exosomes is difficult. Here, we developed bioinspired exosome-mimetic nanovesicles chemotherapeutics to tumor tissue after systemic administration. The chemotherapeutics-loaded produced by breakdown monocytes or macrophages using a serial extrusion...
Secretion of extracellular vesicles is a general cellular activity that spans the range from simple unicellular organisms (e.g. archaea; Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria) to complex multicellular ones, suggesting this vesicle-mediated communication evolutionarily conserved. Extracellular are spherical bilayered proteolipids with mean diameter 20-1,000 nm, which known contain various bioactive molecules including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids. Here, we present EVpedia, an integrated...

Extracellular vesicles are released by various cell types, particularly tumor cells, and may be potential targets for blood-based cancer diagnosis. However, studies performed on blood-borne to date have been limited lack of effective, standardized purification strategies. Using in situ prepared nanoporous membranes, we present a simple strategy employing microfluidic filtration system isolate from whole blood samples. This method can applied purify nano-sized particles allowing isolation...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are an important intercellular communication system facilitating the transfer of macromolecules between cells. Delivery exogenous cargo tethered to EV surface or packaged inside lumen key strategies for generating therapeutic EVs. We identified two "scaffold" proteins, PTGFRN and BASP1, that preferentially sorted into EVs enable high-density display luminal loading a wide range molecules, including cytokines, antibody fragments, RNA binding vaccine antigens,...
Abstract Exosomes known as nano-sized extracellular vesicles attracted recent interests due to their potential usefulness in drug delivery. Amid remarkable advances biomedical applications of exosomes, it is crucial understand vivo distribution and behavior exosomes. Here, we developed a simple method for radiolabeling macrophage-derived exosome-mimetic nanovesicles (ENVs) with 99m Tc-HMPAO under physiologic conditions monitored Tc-HMPAO-ENVs using SPECT/CT living mice. ENVs were produced...
Abstract Gut microbes might influence host metabolic homeostasis and contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D), which is characterized by insulin resistance. Bacteria-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been suggested be important in diseases once believed non-infectious. Here, we hypothesize that gut microbe-derived EVs are T2D. In vivo administration stool from high fat diet (HFD)-fed mice induced resistance glucose intolerance compared regular (RD)-fed mice....
The majority of extracellular vesicle (EV) studies conducted to date have been performed on cell lines with little knowledge how well these represent the characteristics EVs in vivo. aim this study was establish a method isolate and categorize subpopulations isolated directly from tumour tissue. First we established an isolation protocol for metastatic melanoma tissue, which included enzymatic treatment (collagenase D DNase). Small large were differential ultracentrifugation, further...
Effectiveness of checkpoint immunotherapy in cancer can be undermined by immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) with an M2 phenotype. Reprogramming TAMs toward a proinflammatory M1 phenotype is novel approach to induce antitumor immunity. The controlled key transcription factors such as signal transducer and activator 6 (STAT6), which have been “undruggable” selectively TAMs. We describe engineered exosome therapeutic candidate delivering antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)...
Extracellular vesicles have the capacity to transfer lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids between cells, thereby influencing recipient cell's phenotype. While role of RNAs in EVs has been extensively studied, function DNA remains elusive. Here, we distinguished novel heterogeneous subpopulations small extracellular (sEVs) based on their content topology. Low- high-density sEV subsets from a human mast cell line (HMC-1) an erythroleukemic (TF-1) were separated using high-resolution iodixanol...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, are secreted from all cells, convey messages between cells in health disease. However, the diversity of EV subpopulations is only beginning to be explored. Since EVs have been implicated tumour microenvironmental communication, we started determine specifically this tissue. To do this, isolated directly patient melanoma metastatic tissues. Using membrane isolation mass spectrometry analysis, discovered enrichment...
Abstract Cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) agonists of the STimulator InterferoN Genes (STING) pathway have shown immune activation and tumor clearance in pre-clinical models. However, CDNs administered intratumorally also promote STING leading to direct cytotoxicity many cell types microenvironment (TME), systemic inflammation due rapid extravasation CDN, ablation TME. These result a failure establish immunological memory. ExoSTING, an engineered extracellular vesicle (EV) exogenously loaded with...
Melanoma cells release different types of extracellular vesicles (EVs) into the milieu that are involved with communication and signaling in tumor microenvironment. Subsets EVs include exosomes, microvesicles, apoptotic bodies carry protein genetic (RNA) cargos. To define contribution RNA cargo melanoma cell derived we performed small sequencing to identify RNAs EV subsets. Using validated centrifugation protocols, separated these subsets released by line MML-1, Ion Torrent platform....
The presence of malignant ascites in the peritoneal cavity is a poor prognostic indicator low survival rate. Various cancer cells, including those colorectal (CRC), release microvesicles (exosomes) into surrounding tissues and peripheral circulation ascites. Although recent progress has revealed that play multiple roles tumor progression, protein composition pathological function ascites-derived are still unknown. Here, we report first global proteomic analyses highly purified derived from...
Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of intercellular communication that change the recipient cell by shuttling lipids, RNA, or protein cargo between cells. Here, we investigate topology found in EVs, as this can fundamentally influence biological effects EVs.
