Abstract
Exosomes, a subset of small extracellular vesicles, carry various nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, amino acids and metabolites. They function as a mode of intercellular communication and molecular transfer. Exosome cargo molecules, including small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs), are involved in the immune response in various organisms. However, the role of exosome-derived sncRNAs in immune responses in molluscs remains unclear. Here, we aimed to reveal the sncRNAs involved in the immune response during grafting transplantation by the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata. Exosomes were successfully extracted from the P. fucata haemolymph during graft transplantation. Abundant microRNAs (miRNAs) and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) were simultaneously discovered in P. fucata exosomes by small RNA sequencing. The expression patterns of the miRNAs and piRNAs at the grafting and initial stages were not substantially different, but varied significantly between the initial and later stages. Target prediction and functional analysis indicate that these miRNAs and piRNAs are related to immune response upon grafting transplantation, whereas piRNAs may also be associated with transposon silencing by targeting with genome transposon elements. This work provides the basis for a functional understanding of exosome-derived sncRNAs and helps to gain further insight into the PIWI/piRNA pathway function outside of germline cells in molluscs.

A time to heal: microRNA and circadian dynamics in cutaneous wound repair. Clin Sci (Lond) 2022; 136:579-597. [PMID: 35445708 PMCID: PMC9069467 DOI: 10.1042/cs20220011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Revised: 04/01/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Many biological systems have evolved circadian rhythms based on the daily cycles of daylight and darkness on Earth. Such rhythms are synchronised or entrained to 24-h cycles, predominantly by light, and disruption of the normal circadian rhythms has been linked to elevation of multiple health risks. The skin serves as a protective barrier to prevent microbial infection and maintain homoeostasis of the underlying tissue and the whole organism. However, in chronic non-healing wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), pressure sores, venous and arterial ulcers, a variety of factors conspire to prevent wound repair. On the other hand, keloids and hypertrophic scars arise from overactive repair mechanisms that fail to cease in a timely fashion, leading to excessive production of extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as such as collagen. Recent years have seen huge increases in our understanding of the functions of microRNAs (miRNAs) in wound repair. Concomitantly, there has been growing recognition of miRNA roles in circadian processes, either as regulators or targets of clock activity or direct responders to external circadian stimuli. In addition, miRNAs are now known to function as intercellular signalling mediators through extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this review, we explore the intersection of mechanisms by which circadian and miRNA responses interact with each other in relation to wound repair in the skin, using keratinocytes, macrophages and fibroblasts as exemplars. We highlight areas for further investigation to support the development of translational insights to support circadian medicine in the context of these cells.

Abstract
In the era of multi-omic sciences, dogma on singular cause-effect in physio-pathological processes is overcome and system biology approaches have been providing new perspectives to see through. In this context, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are offering a new level of complexity, given their role in cellular communication and their activity as mediators of specific signals to target cells or tissues. Indeed, their heterogeneity in terms of content, function, origin and potentiality contribute to the cross-interaction of almost every molecular process occurring in a complex system. Such features make EVs proper biological systems being, therefore, optimal targets of omic sciences. Currently, most studies focus on dissecting EVs content in order to either characterize it or to explore its role in various pathogenic processes at transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, lipidomic and genomic levels. Despite valuable results being provided by individual omic studies, the categorization of EVs biological data might represent a limit to be overcome. For this reason, a multi-omic integrative approach might contribute to explore EVs function, their tissue-specific origin and their potentiality. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art of EVs omic studies, addressing recent research on the integration of EVs multi-level biological data and challenging developments in EVs origin.

Abstract
Complexity in mechanisms that drive cancer development and progression is exemplified by the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling pathway, which suppresses early-stage hyperplasia, yet assists aggressive tumors to achieve metastasis. Of note, several molecules, including mRNAs, non-coding RNAs, and proteins known to be associated with the TGF-β pathway have been reported as constituents in the cargo of extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are secreted vesicles delimited by a lipid bilayer and play critical functions in intercellular communication, including regulation of the tumor microenvironment and cancer development. Thus, this review aims at summarizing the impact of EVs on TGF-β signaling by focusing on mechanisms by which EV cargo can influence tumorigenesis, metastatic spread, immune evasion and response to anti-cancer treatment. Moreover, we emphasize the potential of TGF-β-related molecules present in circulating EVs as useful biomarkers of prognosis, diagnosis, and prediction of response to treatment in cancer patients.

Abstract
Canine mammary cancer (CMC), similar to human breast cancer (HBC) in many aspects, is the most common neoplasm associated with significant mortality in female dogs. Due to the limited therapy options, biomarkers are highly desirable for early clinical diagnosis or cancer progression monitoring. Since the discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) as post-transcriptional gene regulators, they have become attractive biomarkers in oncological research. Except for intracellular miRNAs and cell-free miRNAs, exosome-derived miRNAs (exomiRs) have drawn much attention in recent years as biomarkers for cancer detection. Analysis of exosomes represents a non-invasive, pain-free, time- and money-saving alternative to conventional tissue biopsy. The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of miRNAs that come from non-exosomal sources (canine mammary tumor, mammary tumor cell lines or canine blood serum) and from exosomes as promising biomarkers of CMC based on the current literature. As is discussed, some of the miRNAs postulated as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers in CMC were also altered in HBC (such as miR-21, miR-29b, miR-141, miR-429, miR-200c, miR-497, miR-210, miR-96, miR-18a, miR19b, miR-20b, miR-93, miR-101, miR-105a, miR-130a, miR-200c, miR-340, miR-486), which may be considered as potential disease-specific biomarkers in both CMC and HBC.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis (RF) is central pathological pathway for kidney diseases, with the main pathological features being the aberrant accumulation of myofibroblasts that produce accumulation of extracellular matrix in the renal interstitium and glomeruli. Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated with RF. Current treatment strategies for RF are ineffective. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been found to be able to treat organ fibrosis including RF, but they have some safety problems, such as cell rejection, carcinogenicity, and virus contamination, which limit the application of MSCs. However, current studies have found that MSCs may exert their therapeutic effect by releasing extracellular vesicles (EVs). MSC-EVs can transfer functional proteins and genetic material directly to the recipient cells. As non-cell membrane structures, MSC-EVs have the advantages of low immunogenicity, easy preservation, and artificial modification, but do not have the characteristics of self-replication and ectopic differentiation. Therefore, EVs are safer than MSCs for treatment, but might be less effective than MSCs. Recent studies have also found that MSC-EVs can improve renal function and pathological changes of RF. Thus, this review summarizes the therapeutic effect of MSC-EVs on RF and the mechanisms that have been discovered so far, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the further study of the role of MSC-EVs in treating RF diseases.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles have become a research focus for their potential as therapeutic vehicles that carry cargo substances. Extracellular vesicles may origin from the endosomal compartment and share several characteristics with the envelope of lentiviruses. A previous study reported that constitutive expression of the tetraspanin CD9, an extracellular vesicle marker, not only increases vesicle secretion from cells, but has also a positive effect on lentiviral transduction efficiency. Moreover, it was shown that expression of CD9 on the viral envelope in absence of viral glycoproteins was sufficient for the transduction of mammalian cells. In this study, we investigate the effect of CD9 and folate receptor alpha, a GPI-anchored protein, on biosynthesis and transduction efficiency of vesicles carrying lentiviral vectors. We demonstrate that neither CD9 nor FRα nor the combination of both were able to mediate a significant transduction of therapeutic vesicles carrying lentiviral RNA. Further studies are required to identify endogenous mammalian proteins that can be used for pseudotyping of viral envelopes to improve viral targeting without inducing immune responses.

Abstract
Murine leukemia virus (MLV)-presenting cells form stable intercellular contacts with target cells during infection of lymphoid tissue, indicating a role of cell-cell contacts in retrovirus dissemination. Whether host cell adhesion proteins are required for retrovirus spread in vivo remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the lymphocyte-function-associated-antigen-1 (LFA1) and its ligand intercellular-adhesion-molecule-1 (ICAM1) are important for cell-contact-dependent transmission of MLV between leukocytes. Infection experiments in LFA1- and ICAM1-deficient mice demonstrate a defect in MLV spread within lymph nodes. Co-culture of primary leukocytes reveals a specific requirement for ICAM1 on donor cells and LFA1 on target cells for cell-contact-dependent spread through trans- and cis-infection. Importantly, adoptive transfer experiments combined with a newly established MLV-fusion assay confirm that the directed LFA1-ICAM1 interaction is important for retrovirus fusion and transmission in vivo. Taken together, our data provide insights on how retroviruses exploit host proteins and the biology of cell-cell interactions for dissemination.
