RESUMO

Background: Tumor-derived exosomes are involved in the process of tumor metastasis and angiogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are the most widely investigated factors in exosomes. Therefore, we hope to find a new therapeutic target in bladder cancer (BLCA), which has high incidence rate and mortality. Methods: Exosomal microRNA(miR)-93-5p expression level, downstream target molecules, and biological functions were examined with bioinformatics technology. Exosomes were extracted by sequential differential centrifugation and verified by transmission electron microscopy. The exosomal miR-93-5p on cell proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis abilities in 5637 and T24 cells was determined by Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK-8), colony-forming assay, Transwell assay, and vascular ring formation assay. A mouse xenograft model with intratumor injection was adopted to evaluate the correlation between BLCA-derived exosomes and tumor growth in vivo. Results: The results revealed that exosomes play an important role in the biological progression of BLCA, with miR-93-5p being a particularly important molecule. Compared to normal cells, more malignant cells release more exosomal miR-93-5p, and tumor-derived exosomal miR-93-5p could significantly promote cell proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. We identified phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) as the most significant target of miR-93-5p in BLCA and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Conclusions: Our study successfully revealed the biological role and mechanism of BLCA-derived exosomes in tumor progression. Target at tumor exosomes and exosomal miR-93-5p may be an effective treatment in BLCA.

RESUMO

Simulation and prediction of the scale change of fungal community. First, using the experimental data of a variety of fungal decomposition activities, a mathematical model of the decomposition rate and the relationship between the bacterial species was established, thereby revealing the internal mechanism of fungal decomposition activity in a complex environment. Second, based on the linear regression method and the principle of biodiversity, a model of fungal decomposition rate was constructed, and it was concluded that the interaction between mycelial elongation and moisture resistance could increase the fungal decomposition rate. Third, the differential equations are used to quantify the competitive relationship between different bacterial species, divide the boundaries of superior and inferior species, and simulate the long-term and short-term evolution trends of the community under the same initial environment. And an empirical analysis is made by taking the sudden change of the atmosphere affecting the evolution of the colony as an example. Finally, starting from summer, combining soil temperature, humidity, and fungal species data in five different environments such as arid and semiarid, a three-dimensional model and RBF neural network are introduced to predict community evolution. The study concluded that under given conditions, different strains are in short-term competition, and in the long-term, mutually beneficial symbiosis. Biodiversity is important for the biological regulation of nature.

RESUMO

It is widely accepted that keratinocytes act as non­professional antigen­presenting cells and support superantigen­induced proliferation of resting T cells; however, it remains unknown whether keratinocytes function in situ with T cells via a non­contact mechanism. The current study used a transwell co­culture system and demonstrated, for the first time to the best of the authors' knowledge, that HaCaT cells (the human keratinocyte cell line) did induce T cell proliferation via indirect contact. The data further indicated that exosomes, small membrane vesicles that transfer antigens to recipient cells, are also involved in the superantigen­associated immunity of keratinocytes. The current study provided experimental evidence that HaCaT­exosomes contained MHC I and II, and could interact with T cells. In addition, following interferon γ stimulation, Staphylococcal aureus enterotoxin B­loaded HaCaT cells secreted exosomes to induce the proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in vitro. This novel biological function of exosomes reveals a new mechanism of how keratinocytes participate in bacterial superantigen­induced immune responses.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The stem cell-based therapies for intervertebral disc degeneration have been widely studied. However, the mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cells interacting with intervertebral disc cells, such as nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs), remain unknown. Exosomes as a vital paracrine mechanism in cell-cell communication have been highly focused on. The purpose of this study was to detect the role of exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and NPCs in their interaction with corresponding cells. METHODS: The exosomes secreted by BM-MSCs and NPCs were purified by differential centrifugation and identified by transmission electron microscope and immunoblot analysis of exosomal marker proteins. Fluorescence confocal microscopy was used to examine the uptake of exosomes by recipient cells. The effects of NPC exosomes on the migration and differentiation of BM-MSCs were determined by transwell migration assays and quantitative RT-PCR analysis of NPC phenotypic genes. Western blot analysis was performed to examine proteins such as aggrecan, sox-9, collagen II and hif-1α in the induced BM-MSCs. Proliferation and the gene expression profile of NPCs induced by BM-MSC exosomes were measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 and qRT-PCR analysis, respectively. RESULTS: Both the NPCs and BM-MSCs secreted exosomes, and these exosomes underwent uptake by the corresponding cells. NPC-derived exosomes promoted BM-MSC migration and induced BM-MSC differentiation to a nucleus pulposus-like phenotype. BM-MSC-derived exosomes promoted NPC proliferation and healthier extracellular matrix production in the degenerate NPCs. CONCLUSION: Our study indicates that the exosomes act as an important vehicle in information exchange between BM-MSCs and NPCs. Given a variety of functions and multiple advantages, exosomes alone or loaded with specific genes and drugs would be an appropriate option in a cell-free therapy strategy for intervertebral disc degeneration.
