This study investigated how energy depletion and fermentation processes influence the characteristics and physiological functions of EVs secreted by <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>. Specifically, we analyzed EVs derived from 24-h cultures, representing the glucose utilization phase, and 72-h cultures, representing the starvation stage. Under energy-depleted conditions (72-h cultures), yeast secreted a higher number of EV particles, albeit with a smaller average particle size. In contrast, EVs from yeast cultured for 24 h, during the glucose utilization phase, were enriched in Pep12-rich endosome-derived vesicles and exhibited 71% higher cellular internalization efficiency. Proteomic and transcriptomic analyses revealed distinct protein and microRNA profiles between EVs from 24- and 72-h cultures, highlighting their potential roles in tissue regeneration, cell proliferation, and collagen synthesis. As a result, EVs derived from 24-h cultures exhibited a 15% greater effect in promoting collagen synthesis. The differential effects on collagen production may be attributed to the efficiency of endocytosis and the specific protein and microRNA cargo of the EVs. This study emphasizes the functional potential and unique properties of yeast-derived EVs while proposing strategies to modulate EV composition by adjusting the yeast culture duration and the energy source in the medium. Further research is needed to control yeast-produced EV components and to understand their mechanisms of action for effective therapeutic applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":93902,"journal":{"name":"Biomaterials research","volume":"29 ","pages":"0201"},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12053258/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144060850","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}

Through sequential presentations of appropriate growth factors (GFs), iPSCs can be differentiated into mesodermal cells and then into MSCs. Furthermore, the formation of 3-dimensional cell spheroids, known as embryoid bodies, can be used to mimic in vivo conditions. However, the compact nature of embryoid bodies restricts the efficient and uniform delivery of GFs, leading to the formation of necrotic zones and hindered differentiation. To address this, we developed 2 types of gelatin microparticles (GelMPs) with distinct degradation rates for sequential delivery of GFs to enhance differentiation while preventing necrotic zones. In 2-dimensional culture, bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) were identified as key proteins inducing iPSC differentiation into mesodermal cells and MSCs. The sequential presentation of these GFs was optimized for a 3-dimensional culture system by engineering fast-degrading GelMPs conjugated with BMP4 and slow-degrading GelMPs conjugated with FGF2. Our approach facilitated efficient iPSC differentiation into induced mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs), as demonstrated by enhanced expression of mesodermal markers during the early stages of differentiation and MSC-specific markers at later stages. The resulting iMSCs exhibited characteristic surface markers (e.g., CD73, CD90, CD105, and CD44) and trilineage differentiation capability and were genetically stable. Compared to adult-derived MSCs, iMSCs showed superior proliferative capacity and reduced senescence, making them advantageous for cell therapy and regenerative medicine.

To overcome these challenges, we developed a long-term hiPSC culture platform based on a cross-linked cyclosiloxane polymer matrix that preserves pluripotency with naïve-like characteristics. Through optimization, we identified an ideal cyclosiloxane polymer matrix, designated as poly-Z, which supported the growth of hiPSCs as spheroids. Even after 60 d of continuous culture, hiPSC spheroids maintained on poly-Z retained pluripotency markers and normal karyotypes at levels comparable to those of hiPSC colonies cultured on conventional vitronectin (VN)-coated plates. Furthermore, mRNA sequencing revealed that hiPSC spheroids cultured on poly-Z not only exhibited up-regulation of typical pluripotency-related genes but also showed increased expression of genes associated with the naïve pluripotent state, in contrast to the primed state observed in hiPSCs cultured on VN-coated plates or in suspension culture. Gene ontology (GO) analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) further suggested that the down-regulation of genes involved in cell-ECM interactions contributed to the induction of naïve-like features in poly-Z-cultured hiPSC spheroids.
