M2 macrophage microvesicle-inspired nanovehicles improve accessibility to cancer cells and cancer stem cells in tumors

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2021
Cancer cells and cancer stem cells (CSCs) are the major players of cancer malignancy and metastasis, but they are extremely difficult to access. Inspired by the vital role of macrophages and microvesicle-mediated cell–cell communication in tumors, we ...

Microvesicle-camouflaged biomimetic nanoparticles encapsulating a metal-organic framework for targeted rheumatoid arthritis therapy

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2022
Background Methotrexate (MTX) has been highlighted for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment, however, MTX does not accumulate well at inflamed sites, and long-term administration in high doses leads to severe side effects.

UVB-Induced Microvesicle Particle Release and Its Effects on the Cutaneous Microenvironment

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) has profound effects on human skin that results in a broad spectrum of immunological local and systemic responses and is the major cause of skin carcinogenesis.

Selective immunocapture reveals neoplastic human mast cells secrete distinct microvesicle‐ and exosome‐like populations of KIT‐containing extracellular vesicles

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2022
Activating mutations in the receptor KIT promote the dysregulated proliferation of human mast cells (huMCs). The resulting neoplastic huMCs secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) that can transfer oncogenic KIT among other cargo into recipient cells ...

Keratinocyte-derived microvesicle particles mediate Ultraviolet B radiation induced systemic immunosuppression.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2021
A complete carcinogen, Ultraviolet B radiation (290-320 nm; UVB), is the major cause of skin cancer. UVB-induced systemic immunosuppression that contributes to photocarcinogenesis is due to the glycerophosphocholine-derived lipid mediator Platelet ...

Hydrostatic pressure promotes chondrogenic differentiation and microvesicle release from human embryonic and bone marrow stem cells

Biotechnology Journal, 2021
Mechanical stimulation plays in an important role in regulating stem cell differentiation and their release of extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this study, effects of low magnitude hydrostatic pressure (HP) on the chondrogenic differentiation and ...

Endothelial Progenitor Cell-Derived Microvesicles Promote Angiogenesis in Rat Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells In vitro

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
Brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) are a major component of the blood-brain barrier that maintains brain homeostasis. Preserving and restoring the normal biological functions of BMECs can reverse or reduce brain injury.

Circulating Thrombomodulin: Release Mechanisms, Measurements, and Levels in Diseases and Medical Procedures

TH Open, 2022
Thrombomodulin (TM) is a type-I transmembrane protein that is mainly expressed on endothelial cells and plays important roles in many biological processes. Circulating TM of different forms are also present in biofluids, such as blood and urine.

Bacterial membrane vesicles and phages in blood after consumption of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus JB-1

Gut Microbes, 2021
Gut microbiota have myriad roles in host physiology, development, and immunity. Though confined to the intestinal lumen by the epithelia, microbes influence distal systems via poorly characterized mechanisms.

A Comparative Proteomic Analysis of Extracellular Vesicles Associated With Lipotoxicity

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging mediators of intercellular communication in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Palmitate, a lipotoxic saturated fatty acid, activates hepatocellular endoplasmic reticulum stress, which has been demonstrated to ...
