AI Article Synopsis

  • This chapter discusses the study of Stress-Inducible Protein 1 (STI1) found in extracellular vesicles.
  • The researchers employed various techniques like ultracentrifugation and gel chromatography to isolate the vesicles.
  • They used nanotracking particle analysis, flow cytometry, and ELISA to analyze the size, number, and protein content of these vesicles.

Article Abstract

This chapter is derived from our experience in the study of stress-Inducible Protein 1 (STI1) in extracellular vesicles. We used different techniques to isolate, explore, and characterize the extracellular vesicles that contained this protein. Ultracentrifugation and gel chromatography were used to isolate extracellular vesicles of different sizes, nanotracking particle analysis (NTA) determined number and size of vesicles, while flow cytometry and ELISA were used to determine the specific protein content of vesicles.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by decreased bone mineral density and a heightened risk of fractures. Therapies for OP have primarily focused on balancing bone formation and bone resorption, but enhancing the remineralization of osteoporotic bone is also a key strategy for effective repair. Recent insights into biomineralization mechanisms have highlighted the essential role of mineral-containing extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by osteoblasts in promoting bone marrow mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (BMSC) differentiation and initiating matrix mineralization.

Swift and efficient enrichment and isolation of extracellular vesicles (EVs) are crucial for enhancing precise disease diagnostics and therapeutic strategies, as well as elucidating the complex biological roles of EVs. Conventional methods of isolating EVs are often marred by lengthy and laborious processes. In this study, we introduce an innovative approach to enrich and isolate EVs by leveraging the capabilities of DNA nanotechnology.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) expresses a membrane-associated accessory protein (MAAP), a small nonstructural protein, that facilitates AAV secretion out of the plasma membrane through an association with extracellular vesicles during AAV egress. Here, we investigated the host proteins that interact with AAV2 MAAP (MAAP2) using APEX2-mediated proximity labeling. We identified two SNARE proteins, Syntaxin 7 (STX7) and synaptosome-associated protein 23 (SNAP23), a vesicle (v-)SNARE and a target (t-)SNARE, respectively, that mediate intracellular trafficking of membrane vesicles aand exhibited associations with MAAP2 in HEK293 cells.
