In an independent validation cohort of 27 patients hospitalized with ACS, we found that both miRNAs were identified in different RNA-carrying extracellular particles in plasma, including extracellular vesicles (EVs) and nonvesicular extracellular nanoparticles (NVEPs) including exomeres and supermeres. Both miR-223-3p and 378c were more enriched in small EVs (sEVs) compared to NVEPs. In concordance with the direction of the associations observed in MERLIN-TIMI 36 with HHF, the level of miR-223-3p in sEVs and exomeres was positively associated with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) post-ACS while the level of miR-378c in sEVs was negatively associated with LVEF in the acute phase.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Circulating miRNAs 223-3p and 378c were associated with the risk of HHF/CVD after adjustment for clinical factors and established cardiovascular biomarkers.

Small EV (sEV) generally refer to EV with a diameter of less than 200 nm, which include exosomes formed in the endosomal system and small ectosomes assembled at and released from the plasma membrane. While techniques for isolating sEV from large body fluids auch as blood and urine are relatively well-developed, isolating sEV from solid organs remains challenging. This is because the preparations are often seen contaminated with <em>intracellular</em> vesicles due to cell breakage resulting from the treatments used to release sEV from the extracellular matrix. Here, we introduce a new gentle method that allows for the reliable isolation of sEV from heart and liver tissues with high purity and yield. The protocol involves an initial treatment of tissues with selected collagenase, followed by consecutive differential centrifugation and density-gradient ultracentrifugation to separate sEV from cells and large EV (lEV), and further density-gradient ultracentrifugation to fractionate sEV subpopulations. Characterization of the preparations reveals markedly enhanced cellular survival and reduced co-purification of extracellular non-vesicular particles as well as subcellular organelles. Moreover, we found that sEV isolated from heart, liver, and plasma are similar in morphology and size, but differ in density and protein marker distributions among sEV subpopulations. Our method may facilitate the isolation of sEV from solid tissues with better quality for further molecular characterization and functional studies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73007,"journal":{"name":"Extracellular vesicle","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100069"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143474562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study evaluates IL-10 gene-transfected cell-produced EVs containing IL-10 (tIL-10), comparing them with recombinant IL-10 (rIL-10) and rIL-10 incorporated in EVs via electroporation (eIL-10). Characterization of tIL-10 includes size, shape, and molecular markers. Functional assays demonstrate tIL-10's ability to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine production and extend half-life, with biodistribution in maternal and fetal tissues. The study findings indicate that tIL-10 displays an average size of 108.7 ± 20.5 nm, round with a diameter of ∼0.12 μm, and expresses EV markers CD9 and CD81, containing IL-10 cargo. In vitro, LPS stimulation demonstrates that tIL-10 significantly reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 from maternal decidual cells. Biodistribution studies reveal tIL-10 presence in placental and fetal membranes within 5 min, persisting for up to 3 h. Pharmacokinetic studies using non-compartmental analysis of plasma data, and the linear trapezoidal method establish key pharmacologic parameters for each drug. Pharmacological findings establish eIL-10 and tIL-10's ability to significantly delay PTB onset after E. coli exposure.

To identify reference messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts, we analyze oligo-dT primed RNA-sequencing data from EVs originating from twelve different cell sources isolated using differential centrifugation followed by ultrafiltration. We identify 11 transcripts that are shared amongst the 50 most abundant in EVs from all of these cell sources. Following RT-PCR and deeper sequencing analysis, five transcripts warranted further investigation as molecular standards: TMSB4X, ACTB, GAPDH, VIM, and FTL. As such, we subjected the RT-qPCR results from two independent oligo-dT cDNA synthesis methods to stability assessment using the RefFinder analysis tool, conducted a proof-of-concept normalization on the levels of the variably expressed gene RAB13 and compared quantification of engineered mRNA loading with that of digital PCR. We confirmed the EV association of reference transcripts with EVs by performing gradient centrifugation followed by RT-qPCR and full-length mRNA analysis. To judge the applicability of these genes as reference transcripts for biomarker studies, we performed RNA-sequencing on EVs isolated from plasma by differential ultracentrifugation, and four other minimally processed biofluids.

Previous studies have shown that the membrane antibodies on exosomes derived from primary B cells, B cell lines, and hybridoma can present antigen-induced T cell responses. However, whether secretory antibodies can be released by sEVs and play a biological role has been unclear. Antibody against human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2 antibody) is a humanized monoclonal IgG antibody. In this study, by using a CHO cell line expressing recombinant anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (CHO-HER2), we demonstrated the packaging of the intact HER2 antibodies in the sEVs (sEVs-HER2), and the involvement of endocytosis in their anti-proliferation effects on the BT474 cells, a HER2-overexpressing cell line. Further unbiased proteomic analysis showed that the heavy and light chains of IgG were the most abundant sEVs proteins and revealed that besides endosomal and lysosomes proteins, the proteins involved in the Golgi apparatus were significantly enriched in sEVs-HER2. Brefeldin A (BFA), a potent inhibitor of protein trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus, significantly suppressed the titer of anti-HER2 antibody in both supernatant and sEVs-HER2.
