AI Article Synopsis

  • Exosomes are small vesicles (50-150 nm) that originate from multivesicular endosomes and are important for transferring proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids between cells, facilitating cell communication.
  • RUBCN/rubicon has been identified as a regulator of exosome secretion by assisting in the endosomal recruitment of WIPI2, which enhances MVB formation through ESCRT.
  • The study indicates that RUBCN is crucial for the age-related increase in exosome production, which carries pro-senescent microRNAs that accelerate cellular aging in recipient cells.

Article Abstract

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles (EVs), which have the diameter of 50-150 nm and originate from intralumenal vesicles in multivesicular endosomes (MVBs). Exosomes secreted from donor cells are delivered to recipient cells for transferring of exosome cargos, such as proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. The cargo transfer by exosomes has a pivotal role in cell-to-cell communication for many cellular processes; however, the detailed mechanism remains largely elusive. In our recent study, we found that RUBCN/rubicon regulates exosome secretion through endosomal recruitment of WIPI2, which promotes ESCRT-dependent MVB formation. We further showed that this pathway is essential for age-dependent increasing of exosomes, which transfer the pro-senescent microRNAs, including and , and accelerate cellular senescence in the recipient cells. Our findings highlight RUBCN's key role in exosome secretion and its impact on cellular senescence, providing insights into its potential contributions to aging.

Background: Vascular endothelial cell-derived exosomes are thought to mediate disease progression by regulating macrophage polarization. However, its mechanism in diabetes mellitus (DM)-related atherosclerosis (AS) progress is unclear.

Methods: High-glucose (HG) and oxLDL were used to induce human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs) to mimic DM-related AS model.

Objective: Accumulating evidence suggests that microRNAs derived from macrophage exosomes can regulate the stemness and progression of cancer. However, the interaction mechanisms between HCC cells and tumor-associated macrophages remain unclear.

Methods: Exosomes were extracted from control or CD63 overexpression macrophages and co-cultured with HCC cells.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is characterized by a loss of cellular and axonal integrity, often leading to limited functional recovery and pain. Many PNIs are not amenable to repair with traditional techniques; however, cell therapies, particularly Schwann cells (SCs), offer the promise of neural tissue replacement and functional improvement. Exosomes, which carry cellular signaling molecules, can be secreted by SCs and have shown promise in PNI.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dental pulp stem cell-derived exosomes (DPSCs-Exos) on the biological behaviour of fibroblasts, particularly on keloid fibroblasts (KFs) and normal skin fibroblasts (NFs), with a view to providing new insights into cellular regenerative medicine. We obtained DPSCs-Exos by ultracentrifugation and co-cultured it with KFs and NFs. We detected its effect on cell proliferation using the CCK-8 assay; cell migration ability by cell scratch and Transwell assays; extracellular matrix synthesis using the hydroxyproline content assay; the expression levels of genes associated with fibrosis by PCR assay; and the expression levels of proteins related to fibrosis in the cells using the Western Blot method.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is an asymptomatic, multifaceted condition often associated with various risk factors, including fatigue, obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and sleep apnea. The increasing burden of MASLD underscores the critical need for early diagnosis and effective therapies. Owing to the lack of efficient therapies for MASLD, early diagnosis is crucial.
