Stable Vesicle-Associated BDNF from Embryonic and Young Cortical Extracellular Vesicles
In this work we show that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from embryonic mouse cortex or from cultured embryonic cortical neurons contain high levels of BDNF and sustain TrkB-dependent neuroprotective signaling. By contrast, sEVs from aged cortex are depleted of BDNF, and cells lacking active TrkB fail to mount a protective response when exposed to the same sEVs. Biochemical fractionation and trypsin sensitivity assay indicate that BDNF is a constitutive EV component and is exposed on or...
Extracellular vesicles from Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum): tailored isolation from hemolymph and insights into water-derived vesicles
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are evolutionarily conserved mediators of intercellular communication released by cells into biological fluids and the extracellular environment. Despite their growing relevance in biomedical and veterinary research, knowledge on EVs in marine bivalves remains limited. The aim of this study was to optimize tailored protocols for EV isolation from the hemolymph of the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) based on density gradient ultracentrifugation (dgUC) or...
Recipient cell identity governs intracellular transport and membrane interactions of extracellular vesicles across species
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) function as a natural communication system, enabling transfer of biomolecules between cells. Although EVs are produced by nearly all cell types and have shown promise as therapeutic agents, our understanding of how EVs from different cellular origins recognize recipient cells, are taken up, and processed intracellularly remains limited. In particular, it remains unclear whether intracellular EV behavior is primarily governed by EV-intrinsic properties or by the...
Transcriptomic and proteomic responses to gas vesicle collapse in native and engineered bacterial systems
Gas vesicles (GVs) are air-filled protein nanostructures produced by microbes to regulate buoyancy and have emerged as powerful tools in biomedical imaging, particularly as acoustic reporter genes. Their mechanically robust shells enclose a stable air compartment, which collapses irreversibly when subjected to sufficient hydrostatic or acoustic pressure, leaving behind large protein sheets. This collapse phenomenon underlies key applications such as differential imaging and controlled...
Vesicular pseudopodia define the fusion site on large secretory vesicles of the Drosophila salivary glands
Large secretory vesicles (LSVs) pose a scaling problem for regulated exocytosis. Their micron-scale dimensions greatly increase the vesicular membrane surface area, making productive engagement between the vesicular and target membrane fusion machinery unlikely. Here, we show that vesicular pseudopodia define the fusion sites of LSVs in Drosophila larval salivary glands.
Tumor extracellular vesicle RNA profiling predicts treatment response in pediatric diffuse midline glioma
Detection of reliable markers of therapy response and drug resistance remains a major unmet need in brain cancer, as serial tumor biopsy is often not feasible. This challenge is particularly acute in diffuse midline glioma (DMG), a fatal pediatric brain tumor for which new targeted therapies are entering clinical use, yet tools for real-time molecular analysis of tumor evolution during therapy remain lacking. Here, we demonstrate that plasma tumor-derived extracellular vesicle (EV) profiling...
A nanoscale atlas of extracellular vesicles and particles in Drosophila olfactory sensilla
Extracellular particles, including non-vesicular extracellular particles (NVEPs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs), are emerging as key contributors to sensory signaling, yet their ultrastructural organization within native tissues remains underexplored. Native tissues preserve extracellular particle organization and heterogeneity that are often lost during dissociation. Using cryofixation-based serial block-face scanning electron microscopy, we generated a nanoscale atlas of NVEPs and EVs...
Rab8a-positive vesicles transport Wnt8a along cytonemes in zebrafish embryogenesis.
Wnt signalling is a conserved pathway that orchestrates key developmental processes by regulating cell fate, proliferation, and tissue organisation. While the production and secretion of Wnt ligands are well characterised, less is known about how lipid-modified Wnts are delivered for long-range communication. Recently, cytonemes - actin-based signalling filopodia - have been identified as transporters of Wnts over distances to target specific cells in embryogenesis.
TRACEY: an updated resource for SNARE protein domain annotation with improved HMMs and expanded sequence coverage
Motivation: SNARE proteins catalyse membrane fusion across the eukaryotic endomembrane system, from synaptic vesicle exocytosis to intracellular trafficking, endosomal and vacuolar transport, and autophagy, and their accurate domain annotation depends on the quality of profile models and the sequence diversity behind them. The original SNARE domain classification predates the recent expansion of eukaryotic sequence data, leaving its HMM profiles and subgroup coverage unable to resolve...
Conserved structural features of RNA export pores spanning the double membrane of arterivirus and coronavirus replication organelles
Corona- and arteriviruses are distantly related positive-stranded RNA virus families within the order Nidovirales. Both transform intracellular membranes into double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) that serve as replication organelles. Newly made viral RNA presumably exits DMVs through double-membrane-spanning molecular pores formed by coronavirus nsp3-nsp4 and arterivirus nsp2-nsp3.
