Microparticles are vectors of paradoxical information in vascular cells including the endothelium: role in health and diseases. (2/383)

Both inflammation and thrombosis can be orchestrated by the interactions between circulating cells, such as leukocytes and platelets, with vascular, endothelial and smooth muscle cells, which, during activation or apoptosis, can release circulating microparticles (MPs). Indeed, MPs are membrane vesicles with procoagulant and proinflammatory properties. MPs are present in blood from healthy individuals and in patients under several pathological states, for instance sepsis, preeclampsia, Crohn's disease and diabetes, strengthening the notion that MPs may play a role in these diseases. Circulating MPs or those generated in vitro from apoptotic T cells display deleterious effects on endothelial and/or vasomotor function. In contrast, MPs might be protective to endothelial cells. We have shown that MPs harboring the morphogen sonic hedgehog may represent a new therapeutic approach against endothelial dysfunction during acute severe endothelial injury. Indeed, these types of MPs induce NO release, decrease production of reactive oxygen species and induce angiogenesis from endothelial cells. This protective role for the endothelium was confirmed also by their in vivo injection in mice in which they were also able to reverse endothelial dysfunction in a model of heart ischemia/reperfusion. On the contrary, MPs from preeclamptic women compared to those from normal pregnant women showed pro-inflammatory properties in the vascular wall inducing vascular hyporeactivity in vessels from humans and mice. These effects were associated with complex interactions between NO and cyclooxygenase systems via endothelial cell activation. Altogether, these findings suggest that MPs can be considered as vectors of biological messages for vascular homeostasis, during immunity and inflammation.  (+info)

Measurement of platelet-derived microparticle levels in the chronic phase of cerebral infarction using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. (5/383)

Assessment of platelet function is a critical component of the treatment and secondary prevention of cerebral infarction, and measurement of platelet-derived microparticle (PDMP) levels using flow cytometry may be a good indicator of platelet function. However, the flow cytometric analysis is not feasible in a variety of clinical situations. The goal of the present study was to measure PDMP levels using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in chronic cerebral infarction patients and to determine the utility of PDMP level measurement for the monitoring of the effect of cilostazol and aspirin. A crossover study was performed using 4-weeks of aspirin (100 mg/day) and 4-weeks of cilostazol (200 mg/day) in 18 patients. PDMP levels were also measured in 20 volunteers as controls. Experiments demonstrated that PDMP levels were significantly higher in chronic cerebral infarction patients (median 8.8 U/ml, interquartile range 5.1-14.9 U/ml, n=18) than in controls (median 5.5 U/ml, interquartile range 5.0-8.2 U/ml, n=20) (P=0.047). PDMP levels did not decrease after therapy with either aspirin (median 10.9 U/ml, interquartile range 6.2-17.9 U/ml, n=12) or cilostazol (median 9.2 U/ml, interquartile range 6.1-14.3 U/ml, n=12) compared with baseline PDMP levels in the 12 patients who completed this trial (median 11.4 U/ml, interquartile range 5.2-23.7 U/ml, n=12). There were no significant differences in PDMP levels between aspirin and cilostazol (P=0.61). In conclusion, PDMP levels as measured by ELISA were increased in patients with chronic cerebral infarction regardless of the anti-platelet therapy. This methodology may be a useful strategy of assessing platelet function in chronic cerebral infarction patients.  (+info)

Dynamics of circulating microparticles in liver transplant patients. (7/383)

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Microparticles are small membrane vesicles released from the cell plasma membrane, particularly in cell stress, apoptosis and altered cellular viability. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a hypervascular neoplasm with high levels of apoptosis and necrosis. We investigated the levels of circulating microparticles of both tumor and endothelial origins in liver transplant patients with hepatitis C (HepC) cirrhosis with and without HCC and compared them with healthy people and patients with partial hepatectomy. METHODS: Using immunolabeling of microparticles of different origin and flow cytometry-based enumeration of microparticles, the levels of circulating microparticles were studied in 8 patients with HepC and 8 patients with both HepC and HCC before and within two weeks after the transplant. RESULTS: The initial levels of circulating microparticles were increased in patients with HepC and HCC as compared to patients with HepC alone. They were also increased in liver transplant patients as compared to patients with partial hepatectomy or healthy people. Levels of circulating microparticles were dynamically changing after the transplant, showing an initial increase with a subsequent decrease by the end of the second week after surgery. In some patients with a complicated clinical outcome, the levels of microparticles were continuously increasing after the surgery. CONCLUSION: The levels of circulating microparticles of endothelial and hepatic origin in liver transplant patients dynamically change after surgery and correlate with the clinical outcome. Perspectively, the levels of circulating microparticles may be used in clinical practice as a marker of the functional status of the transplanted liver.  (+info)

Cell-Derived Microparticles/Exosomes in Neuroinflammation, Fundamentals and Terminology Introduction - Inflammatory Disorders...  Cell-Derived Microparticles/Exosomes in Neuroinflammation, Fundamentals and Terminology Introduction - Inflammatory Disorders...
After long controversy, it is now recognized that essentially all neurodegenerative diseases have inflammatory components [1]. Many other neurological disorders are exacerbated by inflammation, including the progressive impairment following stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI). It has been known that levels of circulating cell-derived microparticles (MP) are generally increased in inflammatory states, making them useful as biomarkers.

Endothelial cells release phenotypically and quantitatively distinct endothelial microparticles (EMPs) in activation and apoptosis. Therefore, the phenotypic assessment of EMPs can provide useful information reflecting the nature of endothelial injury. We tested the hypothesis that heart transplantation (HT) modifies the pattern of endothelial injury seen in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). ...

HIV-1 infection-induced apoptotic microparticles inhibit human DCs via CD44. - Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics  HIV-1 infection-induced apoptotic microparticles inhibit human DCs via CD44. - Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics
Acute HIV-1 infection results in dysregulated immunity, which contributes to poor control of viral infection. DCs are key regulators of both adaptive and innate immune responses needed for controlling HIV-1, and we surmised that factors elicited during acute HIV-1 infection might impede DC function. We derived immature DCs from healthy donor peripheral blood monocytes and treated them with plasma from uninfected control donors and donors with acute HIV-1 infections. We found that the plasma from patients with HIV specifically inhibited DC function. This suppression was mediated by elevated apoptotic microparticles derived from dying cells during acute HIV-1 infection. Apoptotic microparticles bound to and inhibited DCs through the hyaluronate receptor CD44. These data suggest that targeting this CD44-mediated inhibition by apoptotic microparticles could be a novel strategy to potentiate DC activation of HIV-specific immunity.

Cyclosporine Induces Endothelial Cell Release of Complement-Activating Microparticles | American Society of Nephrology  Cyclosporine Induces Endothelial Cell Release of Complement-Activating Microparticles | American Society of Nephrology
The results of these studies demonstrate that calcineurin inhibitors cause endothelial cells to increase the number of microparticles released into the circulation from the cell surface. Calcineurin inhibitors also alter the composition of the microparticles such that they become complement activating. We found that alternative pathway-deficient mice are protected from CsA-induced renal and vascular injury. We also found that endothelial microparticles cause injury of unmanipulated endothelial cells in vitro, and they cause mesangial proliferation and complement activation when passively transferred into wild-type mice in vivo. These results demonstrate that CsA-induced endothelial microparticles can cause bystander injury of endothelial cells, and they promote glomerular complement activation and mesangial expansion. Furthermore, preliminary data from human transplant patients indicate that treatment of these patients with tacrolimus is also associated with generation of endothelial ...

Microalgae Utilization in Wastewater Treatment | UGA Cooperative Extension  Microalgae Utilization in Wastewater Treatment | UGA Cooperative Extension
Maturation (MP) or polishing ponds are widely used throughout the world as a final or tertiary wastewater treatment process for effluent quality improvement from secondary biological treatment systems, including FPs. MPs can be expected to reduce total suspended solids (TSS), ammonia, nitrate and phosphorus levels in effluent, but the primary function of MPs in most parts of the world is the removal of pathogenic organisms. A number of mechanisms in MPs are responsible for pathogen reduction, including settlement, natural die off (a function of time and temperature), elevated pH, UV radiation and predation. The design, size and number (usually in series) of MPs are typically based on the desired bacteriological quality of the final effluent. MPs are typically designed at the same depth as facultative ponds (2 to 5 feet (0.7 to 1.5 m)). Retention times in MPs are typically designed at 10 to 14 days for pathogen reduction; however, shorter retention times are required for TSS removal (four to five ...

Microparticles are membrane vesicles with procoagulant and proinflammatory properties released during cell activation or apoptosis. Microparticles from monocytes have been implicated in atherosclerosis and vascular inflammation, but their direct effects on endothelial cells are not completely elucidated. The present study was designed to dissect the signaling pathways of monocytic microparticles in endothelial cells with respect to both NO pathway and reactive oxygen species. Microparticles were produced by treatment of human monocytic cell line THP-1 with the apoptotic agent VP-16. Human endothelial cells were treated with monocytic microparticles and then, we studied their effects on nitrosative and oxidative stresses. Incubation of human endothelial cells with microparticles enhanced the production of NO without affecting superoxide anions generation. Microparticles did not affect endothelial NO synthase expression and its phosphorylation. Interestingly, microparticles decreased caveolin-1 ...

Microparticles as mediators of cellular cross-talk in inflammatory disease. | Semantic Scholar  Microparticles as mediators of cellular cross-talk in inflammatory disease. | Semantic Scholar
Microparticles are a heterogeneous population of membrane-coated vesicles which can be released from virtually all cell types during activation or apoptosis. Release occurs from the cell surface in an exogenous budding process involving local rearrangement of the cytoskeleton. Given their origin, these particles can be identified by staining for cell surface markers and annexin V. As shown in in vitro studies, microparticles may represent a novel subcellular element for intercellular communication in inflammation. Thus, microparticles can transfer chemokine receptors and arachidonic acid between cells, activate complement, promote leukocyte rolling and stimulate the release of pro-inflammatory mediators. Under certain conditions, however, microparticles may also exert anti-inflammatory properties by inducing immune cell apoptosis and the production of anti-inflammatory mediators. Microparticles may play an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatologic diseases as evidenced by their elevation in

Microparticles, Debris That Hurts | JACC: Journal of the American College of Cardiology  Microparticles, Debris That Hurts | JACC: Journal of the American College of Cardiology
Microparticles (MPs) are fragments of cell membranes released from stimulated or apoptotic cells that have long been considered innocent remnants of cell destruction. Evidence is accumulating, however, that the circulating and tissue-derived MPs may elicit a strong thrombogenic and inflammatory response (1). In addition to MPs, activated cells can also release smaller vesicle-denominated exosomes that are relatively unexplored in the research area of vascular biology (2).. Circulating MPs are being explored as a potential source for biomarker discovery. Platelet MPs have been associated with clinically evident atherosclerotic disease in diabetes type II patients (3), and leukocyte-derived MPs are predictive of subclinical atherosclerosis in asymptomatic patients (4).. Experimental and clinical data consistently point to a causal role for MPs in atherosclerosis development and progression. Recent reports revealed their contribution to hemostatic and inflammatory responses, vascular remodeling and ...

Abstract P150: Podocyte Derived Urinary Microparticles Are Elevated in Angiotensin II Induced Hypertension | Hypertension  Abstract P150: Podocyte Derived Urinary Microparticles Are Elevated in Angiotensin II Induced Hypertension | Hypertension
Background: Early and non-invasive biomarkers of kidney damage are needed to identify hypertensive patients at risk for kidney damage. Urinary micropaticles (UMPs) have gained significant attention as potential novel biomarkers for kidney damage, and have already been identified in pre-albuminuric diabetic glomerular injury. These vesicles are less than 1 micron in size and carry markers of the parent cell. We hypothesized that podocyte derived UMPs are elevated in angiotensin II-induced hypertension (HTN). Methods: Primary podocytes were isolated and grown in culture. Wild-type mice were treated with AII (400ng/kg/min) via mini-osmotic pumps. Untreated WT mice served as controls. 24 hour urines were collected after 5 days of AII treatment. Enumeration and phenotyping of MPs was done of podocyte culture supernatant and urine. Podocalyxin (Pcal), podoplanin (Ppla) and annexin 5 (AV) were used as surface markers.. Result: Pcal and Ppla positive MPs as well as AV positive and negative MPs were ...

CA153 - Performance: Cancer Antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3), Serum  CA153 - Performance: Cancer Antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3), Serum
CA153 : The instrument used is the Roche Cobas. The Roche cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) method is a sandwich electrochemiluminescence immunoassay that employs a biotinylated monoclonal CA 15-3-specific antibody and a monoclonal CA 15-3-specific antibody. CA 15-3 in the automatically prediluted specimen reacts with both the biotinylated monoclonal CA 15-3-specific antibody (mouse) and the monoclonal CA 15-3-specific antibody (mouse) labeled with a ruthenium complex, forming a sandwich complex. Streptavidin-coated microparticles are added and the mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode. Unbound substances are then removed with ProCell. Application of voltage to the electrode induces the chemiluminescent emission, which is then measured.(Package insert: Roche CA 15-3 reagent, Roche Diagnostic Corp., Indianapolis, IN 2010-09, V14)

Scientists invent oxygen particle that allows you to live without breathing  Scientists invent oxygen particle that allows you to live without breathing
BOSTON, Massachusetts (PNN) - March 28, 2017 - A team of scientists at the Boston Childrens Hospital have invented what is being considered one the greatest medical breakthroughs in recent years. They have designed a microparticle that can be injected into a persons bloodstream that can quickly oxygenate his or her blood. This will even work if the ability to breathe has been restricted, or even cut off entirely.. This finding has the potential to save millions of lives every year. The microparticles can keep an object alive for up to 30 minutes after respiratory failure. This is accomplished through an injection into the patients veins. Once injected, the microparticles can oxygenate the blood to near normal levels. This has countless potential uses as it allows life to continue when oxygen is needed but unavailable. For medical personnel, this is just enough time to avoid risking a heart attack or permanent brain injury when oxygen is restricted or cut off to patient.. Dr. John Kheir, who ...

AU - Selomulya, Cordelia. PY - 2019/5/15. Y1 - 2019/5/15. N2 - This study reports on the preparation of riboflavin-loaded whey protein isolate (WPI) microparticles, using desolvation and then spray drying. Ethanol desolvation led to the exposure of embedded hydrophobic amino acids of WPI to riboflavin, facilitating the formation of riboflavin-WPI complexes. The extent of desolvation and cross-linking influenced the morphology of the spray-dried microparticles, while the moisture content of microparticles decreased with desolvation and increased with crosslinking. The modification of WPI conformation upon desolvation could be retained in the dry state via spray drying. The gastric resistance, release site and release characteristics of microparticles were readily adjusted by varying the ethanol and calcium ion ...

Overall research in my lab explores the molecular mechanisms of cellular signal transduction, with several related foci: 1) intercellular signaling in platelet-tumor interactions, including the contributions of Ras family small G proteins; 2) the contributions of protein trafficking to the signaling and oncogenic functions of Ras proteins; 3) Ras signaling in platelets, regulating thrombosis and hemostasis. My long term goal is to reach a new understanding of cellular information processing and its contributions to signal responses and to translate these findings into pre-clinical approaches.. 1. Intercellular signaling in platelet-tumor interactions..

39 Molecular mechanisms of VEGFR inhibition-induced endothelial cell damage | Heart  39 Molecular mechanisms of VEGFR inhibition-induced endothelial cell damage | Heart
VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors, used as anti-angiogenic drugs to treat cancer, induce severe hypertension. Molecular mechanisms are unclear, but nitric oxide (NO) and oxidative stress may be involved. We questioned whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ang II also play a role in VEGF inhibitor-induced vascular dysfunction. Human microvascular endothelial cells (HMECs) were stimulated with vatalanib (VAT-VEGFR inhibitor) and gefitinib (GEF-EGFR inhibitor) in the absence/presence of Ang II. Activation of eNOS and MAPKs were assessed by immunoblotting. Antioxidant enzyme mRNA was analysed by qPCR. Endothelial microparticles, biomarkers of endothelial damage, tend to increase in subjects treated with VEGFR inhibitors. Phosphorylation of eNOS (28.3% ± 7.1) was decreased by VAT (p , 0.05). VAT decreased mRNA expression of Nox4 (0.5 ± 0.2) and H2O2-regulating antioxidants enzymes such as catalase (0.4 ± 0.1) and glutathione peroxidase (0.4 ± 0.1), while increased mRNA levels of Nox5 (3.35 ± 1.1) (p , ...

Release of Membrane-Bound Vesicles and Inhibition of Tumor Cell Adhesion by the Peptide Neopetrosiamide A | UBC Chemistry  Release of Membrane-Bound Vesicles and Inhibition of Tumor Cell Adhesion by the Peptide Neopetrosiamide A | UBC Chemistry
Background: Neopetrosiamide A (NeoA) is a 28-amino acid tricyclic peptide originally isolated from a marine sponge as a tumor cell invasion inhibitor whose mechanism of action is unknown. Methodology/Principal Findings: We show that NeoA reversibly inhibits tumor cell adhesion, disassembles focal adhesions in pre-attached cells, and decreases the level of beta 1 integrin subunits on the cell surface. NeoA also induces the formation of dynamic, membrane-bound protrusions on the surface of treated cells and the release of membrane-bound vesicles into the culture medium. Proteomic analysis indicates that the vesicles contain EGF and transferrin receptors as well as a number of proteins involved in adhesion and migration including: beta 1 integrin and numerous alpha integrin subunits; actin and actin-binding proteins such as cofilin, moesin and myosin 1C; and membrane modulating eps15 homology domain (EHD) proteins. Surface labeling, trafficking inhibition, and real-time imaging experiments all ...

TGF-β3 is enzymatically immobilized by transglutaminase-2 action to poly(L-lactic acid) microparticles coated with collagen II. Microparticles are then encapsulated with stem cells inside liquified spherical compartments enfolded with a permselective shell through layer-by-layer adsorption. Magnetic nanoparticles are electrostatically bound to the multilayered shell, conferring magnetic-response ability. The goal of this study is to engineer a closed environment inside which encapsulated stem cells would undergo a self-regulated chondrogenesis. To test this hypothesis, capsules are cultured in chondrogenic differentiation medium without TGF-β3. Their biological outcome is compared with capsules encapsulating microparticles without TGF-β3 immobilization and cultured in normal chondrogenic differentiation medium containing soluble TGF-β3. Glycosaminoglycans quantification demosntrates that similar chondrogenesis levels are achieved. Moreover, collagen fibrils resembling the native ...

The argument that we must do everything a Minister demands because he has been democratically chosen does not stand up to close inspection. MPs are not chosen by the people - they are chosen by their local constituency parties: thirty-five men in grubby raincoats or thirty-five women in silly hats.

The biology and function of extracellular vesicles in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (Review)  The biology and function of extracellular vesicles in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (Review)
Extracellular vesicles are a heterogeneous group of membrane-enclosed vesicles, which play an important role in intercellular communication. Increasing number of studies have shown that tumor-derived extracellular vesicles might be involved in the transfer of oncogenic cargo (proteins, lipids, messenger RNA, microRNA, non-coding RNAs and DNA) through which cancer cells could shape the tumor microenvironment and influence tumor progression. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma-derived extracellular vesicles have also reported to facilitate tumor proliferation, metastasis and immune escape. Moreover, nasopharyngeal carcinoma-derived extracellular vesicles might serve as biomarkers for early diagnosis and therapeutic targets. The present review provides information on the biological and clinical significance of extracellular vesicles in tumors, especially in nasopharyngeal carcinoma ...

LRP-mediated agLDL uptake has proved to be one of the main mechanisms for intracellular lipid accumulation in human VSMCs,17-20 cells that have the capacity to secrete TF MP.22,27 In the present study, we hypothesized that agLDLs were able to induce cellular TF expression and activity. We found that both nLDL and agLDL induced TF mRNA after 2 hours of LDL exposure to the same level, in agreement with previous studies showing that nLDL and oxidized LDL induce TF mRNA in different cell types,12-14 which is likely unrelated to the receptor involved in LDL uptake. The increase in mRNA transcription levels induced by nLDL or agLDL did not require new protein synthesis but required a functional transcriptional mechanism. The increase in mRNA led to a strong increase in membrane-associated cellular TF protein expression. With regard to TF activity, the effect of agLDL on TF PCA, in contrast to a shorter time effect of nLDL, was maintained for 24 hours. The ability of nLDL to induce TF expression but ...

Single versus coincidence detection of cell-derived vesicles by flow cytometry  Single versus coincidence detection of cell-derived vesicles by flow cytometry
Background: Body fluids contain cell-derived vesicles ranging from 30 nm to 1 μm in diameter. The function, origin, and composition of these vesicles is disease dependent and therefore vesicles contain clinical information. The most common method to detect vesicles is flow cytometry, which guides vesicles through a laser beam in a hydrodynamically focused fluid stream. The unknown relationship between the measured light scattering intensity and the vesicle diameter resulted in unexplained contradictions between expected and observed results.. Methods: We combined light scattering measurements of polystyrene and silica beads with Mie calculations using an estimated refractive index of vesicles.. Results: We established the relationship between measured light scattering and the diameter of vesicles. We show that common gating strategies based on beads select vesicles (and cells) ranging from 800 to 2400 nm in diameter. For our flow cytometer, the smallest detectable silica beads were 204 nm, ...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells as a Source of Extracellular Vesicles for Therapy - Fight Aging!  Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells as a Source of Extracellular Vesicles for Therapy - Fight Aging!
Scientists report that adult cells reprogrammed to become primitive stem cells, called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), make more extracellular vesicles than other kinds of adult stem cells commonly used for this purpose in research. Extracellular vesicles are naturally abundant in many types of cells, which use the cargo-containing spheres to communicate with other cells. They are about one one-hundredth the diameter of a cell and can carry anything from fats and proteins to nucleic acids. When a cell releases an extracellular vesicle, other cells nearby slurp up the tiny packet and its contents, making it an attractive target for packaging treatments for diseased cells that are deteriorating or aging prematurely. To package a potential treatment in an extracellular vesicle, scientists typically use a cell called a mesenchymal stem cell, which is found among fat or bone marrow cells and gives rise to other fat and bone cells. Scientists genetically modify the stem cell to produce ...

Extracellular Vesicles: Biomarkers and Modulators in Immune-Mediated Diseases and Tumor Genesis | Frontiers Research Topic  Extracellular Vesicles: Biomarkers and Modulators in Immune-Mediated Diseases and Tumor Genesis | Frontiers Research Topic
This Research Topic addresses the emerging role of extracellular vesicles in cellular communications and immune responses. We will emphasize their use as biomarkers (research tool to better understand extracellular vesicle functions) and immune modulators (therapeutic tool to suppress or enhance immune responses). Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) are released in response to signals activating their parental cells. They are divided in two categories: small EVs (e.g. exosomes) and large EVs (e.g. microvesicles/ectosomes/microparticles). Small and large EVs differ in terms of size, release and budding mechanism, lipid and protein composition, and surface antigens. Research findings from the last decade suggest that EVs have an important, yet not completely understood, role in cell-cell communication. They can influence neighboring cells, act in an autocrine or paracrine manner, affect tumor growth, de novo-angiogenesis, and immunological functions. EVs are a novel and important tool to impact cell function and

The duration of cisplatin release from most of the drug delivery devices seemed to be shorter than 14 days except large microparticles. The objective of this study was to fabricate and characterize cisplatin-loaded PLA microparticles, PLA/PLGA (30/70) composite microparticles, and fibers as formulations for long-term sustained delivery of cisplatin to treat C6 glioma in vitro by electrospray and electrospinning techniques. Cisplatin-loaded biodegradable microparticles with particle size of around 5 μm and fiber fabrics with diameter of 0.5-1.7 μm were obtained using electrospray and electrospinning techniques. Encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release of formulations were measured by ICP-OES. The encapsulation efficiency for different samples of microparticles was approximately from 33% to 72% and the fiber fabrics had encapsulation efficiency greater than 90%. Cisplatin-loaded microparticles showed typical characteristics of cisplatin release profile: a large initial burst followed by a ...

Macrophages are polarized into functional classically activated and alternatively activated (M2) phenotypes depending on their microenvironment, and these cells play an important role in the immune system. M2-like polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) is activated by various secretions from cancer cells; however, the interaction between cancer cells and TAMs is not well understood. Recent studies showed that cancer cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) contribute to tumor development and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. In the current study, we investigated colorectal cancer-derived EVs containing miR-145 with respect to the polarization of TAMs. Colorectal cancer cells positively secreted miR-145 via EVs, which were taken up by macrophage-like cells. Interestingly, colorectal cancer-derived EVs polarized macrophage-like cells into the M2-like phenotype through the downregulation of histone deacetylase 11. An in vivo study showed that EV-treated macrophages caused ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanoparticles originated from different cell types, seem to be implicated in several cellular activities. In the Central Nervous System (CNS), glia and neurons secrete EVs and recent studies have demonstrated that the intercellular communication mediated by EVs has versatile functional impact in the cerebral homeostasis. This essential role may be due to their proteins and RNAs cargo that possibly modify the phenotypes of the targeted cells. Despite the increasing importance of EVs, little is known about their fluctuations in physiological as well as in pathological conditions. Furthermore, only few studies have investigated the contents of contemporary EVs subgroups (microvesicles, MVs and exosomes, EXOs) with the purpose of discriminating between their features and functional roles. In order to possibly shed light on these issues, we performed a pilot study in which MVs and EXOs extracted from serum samples of a little cohort of subjects (patients with the first clinical

Microparticles in Angiogenesis | Circulation Research  Microparticles in Angiogenesis | Circulation Research
Few studies have analyzed the effects of total circulating MPs, the physiological or pathophysiological real conditions, on angiogenesis. Recently, we have shown that circulating MPs from peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α wild-type mice, but not from knockout mice, induce the formation of capillary-like structures of endothelial cells. This effect, however, was abolished when the NF-κB pathway was inhibited, indicating the involvement of a mechanism dependent on NF-κB activation.50 Thus, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α/NF-κB pathways activated by MPs may play a pivotal stimulatory role for angiogenesis of endothelial cells.. It has been shown that platelet MPs are able to modify steps involved in angiogenesis, such as proliferation, migration, and adhesion of endothelial cells. Kim et al53 were pioneers to demonstrate that platelet MPs increased proliferation, chemotatic migration, and formation of capillary-like tubes of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ...

Oxygen Gas-Filled Microparticles Provide Intravenous Oxygen Delivery | Science Translational Medicine  Oxygen Gas-Filled Microparticles Provide Intravenous Oxygen Delivery | Science Translational Medicine
We have developed an injectable foam suspension containing self-assembling, lipid-based microparticles encapsulating a core of pure oxygen gas for intravenous injection. Prototype suspensions were manufactured to contain between 50 and 90 ml of oxygen gas per deciliter of suspension. Particle size was polydisperse, with a mean particle diameter between 2 and 4 μm. When mixed with human blood ex vivo, oxygen transfer from 70 volume % microparticles was complete within 4 s. When the microparticles were infused by intravenous injection into hypoxemic rabbits, arterial saturations increased within seconds to near-normal levels; this was followed by a decrease in oxygen tensions after stopping the infusions. The particles were also infused into rabbits undergoing 15 min of complete tracheal occlusion. Oxygen microparticles significantly decreased the degree of hypoxemia in these rabbits, and the incidence of cardiac arrest and organ injury was reduced compared to controls.

Background/Aims: Proteinuria is associated with cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. Microparticles (MPs) are bioactive vesicles shed from activated cells and also linked to cardiovascular disease. MP-like structures have been identified in the glomerular basement membrane, urinary space and between the glomerular basement membrane and the podocyte. We hypothesised that circulating MPs may provide a link between vascular injury and kidney diseases by inducing podocyte phenotypic alterations, thus propagating glomerular dysfunction and proteinuria. Methods:Human umbilical vein endothelial cells and U937 monocytes were stimulated with TNF-α to produce MPs. These MPs were confirmed by electron microscopy, and added to differentiated podocyte monolayers to determine effects on podocyte albumin endocytosis and the production of soluble mediators. Results:Monocyte and endothelial MPs upregulated podocyte production of pro-inflammatory mediators monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (p , 0.001) and ...

Increasing attention has been given to secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the past decades, especially in the portrayal of their molecular cargo and role as messengers in both homeostasis and pathophysiological conditions. This review presents the state-of-the-art proteomic technologies to identify and quantify EVs proteins along with their PTMs, interacting partners and structural details. The rapid growth of mass spectrometry-based analytical strategies for protein sequencing, PTMs and structural characterization has improved the level of molecular details that can be achieved from limited amount of EVs isolated from different biological sources. Here we will provide a perspective view on the achievements and challenges on EVs proteome characterization using mass spectrometry. A detailed bioinformatics approach will help us to picture the molecular fingerprint of EVs and understand better their pathophysiological function.

Introduction: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny membrane-enclosed vesicles released by cells by membrane budding or exocytosis. The molecular profile of contents and regenerative potential of EVs derived from murine induced pluripotent stem cells (miPSCs) have not been investigated.. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that miPSC-derived EVs carry bioactive substances, including mRNA and miRNA, which would influence the biology and fate of target cells.. Methods: Murine iPSCs were generated using established protocols and EVs were isolated from culture supernatants by sequential centrifugation. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), flow cytometry, and real-time RT-PCR were used to characterize EV contents. Endothelial cells were exposed to miPSC-EVs in culture.. Results: AFM and dynamic light scattering showed that miPSC-EVs are homogenous spherical vesicles smaller than 100 nm (Fig, A). High-sensitivity flow cytometry confirmed the presence of several iPSC- specific markers along with typical exosomal ...

Purifying the Purified: Isolation and characterisation of extracellular vesicles from Candida  Purifying the Purified: Isolation and characterisation of extracellular vesicles from Candida
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by fungi are thought to influence pathogenesis and host responses to infection, rendering them potentially important in a medical context, particularly as targets for antivirulence drugs, and candidates for vaccines, for fungal diseases. Among other genera of fungi, EVs have been extracted from Candida, which are responsible for a large proportion of serious and fatal fungal disease cases. However, characterisation of EVs purportedly isolated from culture supernatants of Candida albicans may have resulted in erroneous conclusions being drawn regarding their physical attributes, functions and molecular cargo, due to a lack of purification of these structures from contaminants such as protein aggregates. This work aimed to investigate whether the ultracentrifugation-based extraction methods in previous studies were likely adequate enough to isolate C. albicans EVs from other entities, or whether additional purification procedures, namely size-exclusion ...

We found an enhanced uptake of exosomes isolated Pyronaridine Tetraphosphate from both irradiated and non-irradiated cells by irradiated recipient cells compared to nonirradiated recipient cells. Functional analyses by exosome transfer indicated that all exosomes (from non-irradiated and irradiated donor cells) increase the proliferation of non-irradiated recipient cells and the survival of irradiated recipient cells. The survival-promoting effects are more pronounced when exosomes isolated from irradiated compared to non-irradiated donor cells are transferred. A possible mechanism for the increased survival after irradiation could be the increase in DNA double-strand break repair monitored at 6 8 and 10 h after the transfer of exosomes isolated from irradiated cells. This is abrogated by the destabilization of the exosomes. Our results demonstrate ...

Pharmaceutical company planned to destroy life-saving cancer drugs to boost profits | Evolve Politics  Pharmaceutical company planned to destroy life-saving cancer drugs to boost profits | Evolve Politics
Corporate greed is allowed to flourish because the political establishment in Britain, and across much of the EU, is rotten. As always, Tory MPs are in bed with big business. But unfortunately, this is also the case with many of the Blairite MPs who remain within the Labour Party.. But the possibility of a break with this rotten system has been posed by Jeremy Corbyns leadership of the Labour Party.. Despite a number of significant retreats, Corbyn has made some good ground in recent weeks by promising free school dinners for children and the implementation of a £10 an hour living wage should Labour be elected in 2020 (or sooner).. He also supports the NHS Reinstatement Bill, which pledges to renationalise the health service - a policy proposal which Labours Shadow Health Secretary Jon Ashworth, somewhat perplexingly, refuses to support.. But Corbyn must go further than this. He must demand the nationalisation of large pharmaceutical companies, bringing them under democratic workers control ...

Bill C-32 (Historical) | openparliament.ca  Bill C-32 (Historical) | openparliament.ca
Mr. Speaker, the motion seeks to reinstate bills that died on the Order Paper when the previous session of Parliament ended.. As all of us know, the goal of the motion is a simple one: to spare members the burden of having to repeat work on bills that got as far as the committee stage in the last session.. This is especially commendable given the numerous pressures MPs are under and the limited resources available to us.. What features are contained in the motion? Simply put, under the motion a minister would be able to request during 30 sitting days after the motions adoption the reinstatement of a bill that had reached at least the committee stage when the last session ended. Should the Speaker be satisfied that the bill is the same as in the previous session, the bill would be reinstated at the same stage as before.. Thus during this session we can skip all the stages of debate that have been completed so far. The work of the committees that are considering the bills would consequently be ...

JCI - Extracellular vesicles and intercellular communication within the nervous system  JCI - Extracellular vesicles and intercellular communication within the nervous system
Extracellular vesicles (EVs, including exosomes) are implicated in many aspects of nervous system development and function, including regulation of synaptic communication, synaptic strength, and nerve regeneration. They mediate the transfer of packets of information in the form of nonsecreted proteins and DNA/RNA protected within a membrane compartment. EVs are essential for the packaging and transport of many cell-fate proteins during development as well as many neurotoxic misfolded proteins during pathogenesis. This form of communication provides another dimension of cellular crosstalk, with the ability to assemble a "kit" of directional instructions made up of different molecular entities and address it to specific recipient cells. This multidimensional form of communication has special significance in the nervous system. How EVs help to orchestrate the wiring of the brain while allowing for plasticity associated with learning and memory and contribute to regeneration and degeneration are all ...

Several neural cell types in the brain, including neurons, glial cells, and oligodendrocytes, release EVs into the extracellular space and body fluids. EVs released from multiple types of neural cells not only contribute to intercellular communication between neural cells (e.g., neuron-glia interaction), synaptic plasticity, and neuronal activity, but are also responsible for the pathogenesis of neurological disorders [55]. Notably, several recent studies have suggested that EVs released from neural cells carry neuropathogenic molecules such as amyloid-beta (Aβ), α-syn, tau, superoxide dismutase 1, and TAR DNA-binding protein 43, which promote proteinopathic neurodegenerative diseases, as well as neuroprotective molecules against neuronal injury [2]..

Introduction: PMP, EMP and LMP are known to be sensitive markers of thrombotic and inflammatory disorders, but their respective functional activities are obscure. Recent data indicate that these microparticles (MP) possess procoagulant, proaggregatory, and proinflammatory activities. In this study, we have compared these activities in MP derived from different cells.. Methods: PMP were prepared by stimulating platelet-rich plasma with 10 μM ADP plus 5 μg/mL collagen. EMP were prepared by incubating renal endothelial cells (EC) with 10 ng/mL of TNF-α for 24 hrs. LMP were prepared by incubating U937 monocytic cells or neutrophils with 10 ng/mL LPS for 1 hr. Cells were removed by centrifugation (1000xg for 10 min), MP were sedimented (15,000xg for 30 min), pellets were washed twice, then resuspended to equal MP concentration (1 x 108 counts/μL, final concentration) based on counts by flow cytometry. The MP were then tested for (ia) tissue factor (TF) antigen expression (TF:Ag) by flow ...

Polyethylene glycol monosubstituted with a polymerizable acrylic moiety was linked to 6-carboxy free position on dextran side chains and then subjected to radical polymerization with a comonomer in order to obtain microspheres for the oral controlled release of ketoconazole, a hydrophobic model drug. Microparticles were submitted to studies on their ability to absorb and retain water. Cell uptake studies, in the presence and absence of mucus, across two different monolayers, respectively, HT29-MTX-E12 and Caco-2, were done. Cytotoxicity studies were carried out to calculate the IC₅₀ value. The ability of microspheres to open monolayers tight junctions was tested by measuring their TEER values. Images of cell uptake were visualized by CLSM. In HT29-MTX-E12 cells, more mucoadhesion and drug internalization is seen thanks to the presence of PEG and dextran chains.. ...

The effects of cocaine (150 nM, 300 nM, and 150 μM) on human glioblastoma cell cultures were studied on tunneling nanotube formation (1-h cocaine treatment) and extracellular vesicle release (1-, 3-, and 8-h cocaine treatment). Cocaine significantly increased the number of tunneling nanotubes only at the lowest concentration used. The release of extracellular vesicles (mainly exosomes) into the medium was stimulated by cocaine at each concentration used with a maximum effect at the highest concentration tested (150 μM). Moreover, cocaine (150 nM) significantly increased the number of vesicles with 61-80 nm diameter while at concentrations of 300 nM and 150 μM, and the smaller vesicles (30-40 nm diameter) were significantly increased with a reduction of the larger vesicles (41-60 nm diameter). A time dependence in the release of extracellular vesicles was observed. In view of the proposed role of these novel intercellular communication modes in the glial-neuronal plasticity, it seems possible ...

Mechanisms of Venous Thrombosis and Resolution | Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology  Mechanisms of Venous Thrombosis and Resolution | Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology
Inflammation and thrombosis are interrelated. For example, inflammation increases TF, platelet reactivity, fibrinogen, and leads to exposure of increased levels of phosphotidylserine, while decreasing TM and inhibiting fibrinolysis (by increasing PAI-1).4 We have used both a rat and mouse model of inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis in studies of the basic mechanisms of thrombogenesis and thrombus resolution. Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) allow leukocyte transmigration, and selectins (P and E-selectin) are integrally involved in thrombosis. Selectins are the first upregulated glycoproteins on activated endothelial cells and platelets. The cell adhesion molecule P-selectin has been found upregulated in the vein wall as early as 6 h after thrombus induction, whereas E-selectin has been found upregulated at day 6 after thrombosis.5. Microparticles (MPs) are involved in the thrombotic process and the amplification of thrombosis. MPs are small (less than 1 micrometer, about the size of a bacterium), ...

Purpose : To investigate if topically applied mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) promote corneal wound repair in a rat alkali burn model Methods : EVs were isolated from media conditioned by human bone marrow-derived MSCs (n=4) using a series of centrifugation, filtration and ultracentrifugation steps followed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA; NanoSight) quality control. Pro-healing effects of hMSC-derived EVs (hMSC-EV) were examined in vitro by cell migration and scratch wound healing assays using human corneal epithelial (HCE) and endothelial (HCEC) cell lines. Human cornea wound healing rate was also determined ex vivo using fluorescein penetration test. Rat corneal alkali burn injury was induced using 1M NaOH and injury was treated with or without 30mg of hMSC-EVs. Efficacy of treatment was monitored by biomicroscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) followed by extensive tissue analysis at the end of the ...

The activation of mononuclear phagocytes (MPs), including monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells, contribute to central nervous system inflammation in various neurological diseases. In HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), MPs are reservoirs of HTLV-I, and induce proinflammatory cytokines and excess T cell responses. The virus-infected or activated MPs may play a role in immuneregulation and disease progression in patients with HTLV-I-associated neurological diseases. Results: Phenotypic analysis of CD14+ monocytes in HAM/TSP patients demonstrated high expression of CX3CR1 and HLA-DR in CD14lowCD16+ monocytes, compared to healthy normal donors (NDs) and asymptomatic carriers (ACs), and the production of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta in cultured CD14+ cells of HAM/TSP patients. CD14+ cells of HAM/TSP patients also showed acceleration of HTLV-I Tax expression in CD4+ T cells. Minocycline, an inhibitor of activated MPs, decreased TNF-alpha expression in CD14+ cells and ...

In vivo, thrombin serves as both the primary stimulus for thrombosis and subsequent thrombus growth on a template of activated platelets or platelet-derived procoagulant microparticles (15-17). Our group has shown that patients with clinically stable coronary artery disease (CAD) have evidence of increased thrombin activity and generation (18)as do those with unstable angina (19,20)and acute MI (21)in whom the abnormality persists for weeks to months after the presenting event (22). Consistent with prior observations (23), patients in this study exhibited increased thrombin generation despite treatment with UFH (10,18,24,25). The limitations associated with UFH administration may, at least in part, be the result of its relative inaccessibility to clot-bound thrombin and an inability to effectively neutralize factor Xa-mediated procoagulant activity (26).. The thrombogenicity of atheromatous plaques and dysfunctional endothelial cells is strongly influenced by tissue factor which is considered ...
