Abstract:
Abstract Recently, the protective effect of exosomes on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury has become a research hotspot. The purpose of this study was to explore the therapeutic potential of microglia-derived exosomes on cerebral I/R injury. BV2 cell-derived exosomes (BV2-Exo) were extracted and characterized. The cerebral I/R model was constructed in vivo and intervened by using exosomes loaded with miR-302a-3p. The oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) model was constructed in vitro to simulate cerebral I/R injury. The binding sites of miR-302a-3p to Keap1 were analyzed by bioinformatics prediction and confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. A study of whether exosomal miR-302a-3p affected cerebral I/R injury via the Keap1/Nrf2 axis was carried out by overexpression of keap1 (oe-keap1). Experimental results in vivo showed exosomal miR-302a-3p significantly repaired the cognitive impairment and suppressed the cell death of hippocampal neurons induced by cerebral I/R injury. Besides, exosomal miR-302a-3p inhibited the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins NCOA4, PTGS2, and p53 in cerebral I/R-treated mice. Bioinformatics prediction and double-luciferase reporter assay showed that Keap1 was the direct downstream target of miR-302a-3p. Experiment results in vitro showed that oe-Keap1 reversed the therapeutic effect of exosomal miR-302a-3p on cerebral I/R injury via the Keap1/Nrf2 axis, promoting the high expression of NCOA4, PTGS2, and p53 and the increase of Fe 2+ , MDA and ROS levels. These results demonstrated that microglia-exosomal miR-302a-3p suppressed ferroptosis to alleviate cerebral I/R injury by inhibiting neuronal ferritinophagy via regulating the Keap1/Nrf2 axis.Keywords:

Exosomes and microvesicles, which are released by most of the cells, play important roles in intracellular correspondence by transferring DNA, messenger RNA, micro RNA, and other types of RNA and proteins. Exosomes and microvesicles may contribute to the distribution of cancers and diseases through delivering the pathogenic agents to the non-infected cells; in cancers, they can modify the cells in the tumor niche and lead them to transformation. In addition, these vesicles can affect stem cell activity and their physiological properties. On the other hand, exosomes and microvesicles can be applied in the therapeutic strategies as they are small, non-viral, flexible and able to cross biological barriers. In this review, we focused on some details about the exosomes and microvesicles both functionally and structurally. Keywords: Cell communication, epigenetics, metastasis, microvesicles, reprograming.

Communication between cells is particularly important during tumour progression. Communication can take place through direct cell–cell interactions, but also through extracellular secretion of mediators acting at a distance. These mediators can be either soluble molecules or more complex structures called membrane vesicles, enclosing soluble factors within a lipid bilayer. A variety of extracellular membrane vesicles have been described, for instance microvesicles, ectosomes and a subtype called exosomes. The role of exosomes in tumour progression has been studied extensively in the last 10 years. In the present mini-review, we discuss our recent results, first showing the heterogeneity of the vesicles called exosomes and the probable existence of subpopulations of these exosomes, and secondly demonstrating that in vivo secretion of exosomes by some tumours can promote tumour progression, but that such a function cannot be generalized to all tumours and all exosomes.

To aid in the interpretation of high-throughput screening (HTS) results derived from luciferase-based assays, we used quantitative HTS, an approach that defines the concentration−response behavior of each library sample, to profile the ATP-dependent luciferase from Photinus pyralis against more than 70 000 samples. We found that approximately 3% of the library was active, containing only compounds with inhibitory concentration−responses, of which 681 (0.9%) exhibited IC50 < 10 µM. Representative compounds were shown to inhibit purified P. pyralis as well as several commercial luciferase-based detection reagents but were found to be largely inactive against Renilla reniformis luciferase. Light attenuation by the samples was also examined and found to be more prominent in the blue-shifted bioluminescence produced by R. reniformis luciferase than in the bioluminescence produced by P. pyralis luciferase. We describe the structure−activity relationship of the luciferase inhibitors and discuss the use of this data in the interpretation of HTS results and configuration of luciferase-based assays.

We constructed a novel bacterial genome detection system using zinc finger protein (ZF) fused with firefly luciferase (ZF-luciferase). Taking advantage of the direct recognition of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) by ZF, we previously constructed bacterial genome detection systems that did not require dehybridization processes. To detect polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products rapidly and with a high sensitivity, we constructed two kinds of ZF-luciferase, Sp1-fused luciferase (Sp1-luciferase), and Zif268-fused luciferase (Zif268-luciferase). ZF-luciferase not only maintains luciferase activity but also shows dsDNA-binding ability and specificity. Furthermore, we succeeded in the detection of 10 copies of the genome of Legionella pneumophila and Escherichia coli O157. ZF-luciferase would be a useful tool for highly sensitive detection of pathogenic bacterial genome.

Exosomes are nanosized lipid vesicles released from cells. They are capable of transferring proteins, mRNA, and miRNA between cells and, therefore, represent a potential means of intercellular communication. Exosomes can be proangiogenic and may have cardioprotective properties. In contrast, their larger cousins, microvesicles, seem to have generally detrimental effects that are prothrombotic and proinflammatory. Exosomes are released from multivesicular bodies via an exocytic pathway and have the potential for cell-specific targeting. This normal process is hijacked during various pathological conditions, such as cancer, viral infection, and amyloidopathies. We assess the evidence for a role of exosomes and microvesicles in normal cardiovascular physiology, as well as during cardiovascular disease. In addition to offering a potential source of cardiovascular biomarkers, exosomes may offer a nonimmunogenic means of manipulating the heart.
