Background And Rationale: Ultraviolet-B (UVB) light induces dermal inflammation, although it is mostly absorbed in the epidermis. Recent reports suggest extracellular vesicles (EVs) act as a mediator of photodamage signaling. Melatonin is reported to be a protective factor against UV-induced damage. We hypothesized that EVs derived from UVB-irradiated keratinocytes might trigger proinflammatory responses in dermal cells and tested whether melatonin can ameliorate UVB-induced inflammation.
Methods: We used UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells, primary keratinocytes and STING knock-out mice to model production of EVs under photodamaging conditions and performed immunoblotting and ELISA to measure their effect on dermal macrophages.
Results: UVB-irradiated keratinocytes produce an increased number of EVs that contain higher concentrations of DNA and protein compared with controls. KC-derived EVs (KEVs) induced a STING- and inflammasome-mediated proinflammatory response in macrophages in vitro, and a pronounced inflammatory infiltrate in mouse dermis in vivo. Melatonin ameliorated KEVs inflammatory effect both in vitro and in vivo.
Conclusions: This data suggests EVs are mediators in a crosstalk that takes place between keratinocytes and their neighboring cells as a result of photodamage. Further studies exploring EVs induced by damaging doses of UVB, and their impact on other cells will provide insight into photodamage and may help develop targeted therapeutic approaches.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), crucial mediators in cell-to-cell communication, are implicated in both homeostatic and pathological processes. Their detectability in easily accessible peripheral fluids like saliva positions them as promising candidates for non-invasive biomarker discovery. However, the lack of standardized methods for salivary EVs isolation greatly limits our ability to study them.

Background: Complex perianal fistulas, challenging to treat and prone to recurrence, often require surgical intervention that may cause fecal incontinence and lower quality of life due to large surgical wounds and potential sphincter damage. Human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs) and their exosomes (hUCMSCs-Exo) may promote wound healing.
Methods: This study assessed the efficacy, mechanisms, and safety of these exosomes in treating complex perianal fistulas in SD rats.

Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in intraspecies and interspecies communication, significantly influencing physiological and pathological processes. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) secreted by Gram-negative bacteria are rich in components from the parent cells and are important for bacterial communication, immune evasion, and pathogenic mechanisms. However, the extraction and purification of OMVs face numerous challenges due to their small size and heterogeneity.

Phosphatase and Tensin Homologue (PTEN) is one of the most frequently lost tumor suppressors in cancer and the predominant negative regulator of the PI3K/AKT signaling axis. A growing body of evidence has highlighted the loss of PTEN with immuno-modulatory functions including the upregulation of the programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1), an altered tumor derived secretome that drives an immunosuppressive tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), and resistance to certain immunotherapies. Given their roles in immunosuppression and tumor growth, we examined whether the loss of PTEN would impact the biogenesis, cargo, and function of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the context of the anti-tumor associated cytokine interferon-γ (IFN-γ).
