Numbers of publications in the field are rapidly rising, but most studies focus on extracellular vesicles as biomarkers for retinal diseases or as putative therapeutic targets. However, rather little has been done so far to elucidate the physiological functions of EVs in the retina. Even though it is clear that all the characteristic functions of EVs such as cell-cell communication, waste removal, extracellular matrix turnover, immune modulation etc. are of extreme importance in retinal tissue with its enormous metabolic turn-over and the need to orchestrate broad adaptation to different conditions such as light and dark with as little disturbance of the light path as possible.","PeriodicalId":362273,"journal":{"name":"Secretion and Signalling of extracellular vesicles","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122917284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Careful characterization of EV secretion is therefore important for understanding their functions in specific contexts. Here, we assess neuronal EV secretion, using mouse primary cortical and hippocampal neurons and at two developmental stages. Our proteomics data further shows the presence of widely reported EV proteins such as CD81, Alix and TSG101, and the absence of the commonly used EV marker CD63. Moreover, neuron-derived EVs were significantly enriched in neuronal-enriched proteins, including specific synaptic proteins. Overall, this data provides an initial framework for the isolation of EVs from primary neurons that could be beneficial for specific studies of neuron-derived EVs.","PeriodicalId":362273,"journal":{"name":"Secretion and Signalling of extracellular vesicles","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128888884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More and more studies reveal an association of factors of the Wnt pathway with EVs. A tight and coordinated regulation of Wnt signaling is essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis, and dysregulation has been associated with several diseases, including cancer. The influence of Wnt signaling on EV biogenesis has revealed a new mechanism by which Wnt proteins can regulate the creation of a favorable tumor microenvironment promoting the growth and survival of cancer cells. This review summarizes our current understanding of the connections between EVs and Wnt signaling and discusses their relevance in human cancer.","PeriodicalId":362273,"journal":{"name":"Secretion and Signalling of extracellular vesicles","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122744135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This meeting certainly surpassed all expectations: what was first organized as a tentative get-together between a dozen EV scientists, soon revealed the existence of a much broader and strong EV community with more than 50 basic researchers and clinicians currently active in Hamburg.
