Extracellular vesicles derived from hypoxic colorectal cancer cells confer metastatic phenotype to non-metastatic cancer cells

Background/Aim: Tumor-secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role as mediators of intercellular communication. Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors frequently associated with an aggressive clinical behavior. This study aimed to gain a deeper understanding into the functions of EVs in intercellular communication between primary and metastatic cancer cells under hypoxic conditions. Materials and Methods: EVs were isolated from two isogenic colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines SW480 and SW620 cultured under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Their uptake and effects in SW480 and SW620 cells were studied using EV uptake, proliferation, spheroid-formation, wound healing and invasion assays. Results: Our data showed that hypoxia enhanced the release of EVs from CRC cells in a Hypoxia Induced Factor (HIF)-1-dependent manner. Hypoxic EVs were taken up by CRC cells more efficiently than normoxic EVs. Hypoxic EVs stimulated motility, invasiveness and sternness of primary tumour-derived SW480 cells, whereas they had a little effect on metastasis-derived SW620 cells. Conclusion: Hypoxic colorectal cancer-derived EVs confer aggressiveness and invasiveness to hypoxia-naive cancer cells.Peer reviewe

Elucidating Extracellular Vesicle Isolation Kinetics via an Integrated Off-Stoichiometry Thiol-Ene and Cyclic Olefin Copolymer Microfluidic Device

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising biomarkers for diagnosing complex diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Yet, their clinical application is hindered by challenges in isolating cancer-derived EVs efficiently due to their broad size distribution in biological samples. This study introduces a microfluidic device fabricated using off-stoichiometry thiol-ene and cyclic olefin copolymer, addressing the absorption limitations of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The device streamlines a standard laboratory assay into a semi-automated microfluidic chip, integrating sample mixing and magnetic particle separation. Using the microfluidic device, the binding kinetics between EVs and anti-CD9 nanobodies were measured for the first time. Based on the binding kinetics, already after 10 min the EV capture was saturated and comparable to standard laboratory assays, offering a faster alternative to antibody-based immunomagnetic protocols. Furthermore, this study reveals the binding kinetics of EVs to anti-CD9 nanobodies for the first time. Our findings demonstrate the potential of the microfluidic device to enhance clinical diagnostics by offering speed and reducing manual labor without compromising accuracy.</p

Detection of circulating miRNAs : comparative analysis of extracellular vesicle-incorporated miRNAs and cell-free miRNAs in whole plasma of prostate cancer patients

Funding Information: This study was supported by the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2009–2014 under Project Contract No NFI/R/2014/045. The funding body had no role in the design of the study and collection, analysis, and interpretation of data and in writing the manuscript. Publisher Copyright: © 2017 The Author(s).Background: Circulating cell-free miRNAs have emerged as promising minimally-invasive biomarkers for early detection, prognosis and monitoring of cancer. They can exist in the bloodstream incorporated into extracellular vesicles (EVs) and ribonucleoprotein complexes. However, it is still debated if EVs contain biologically meaningful amounts of miRNAs and may provide a better source of miRNA biomarkers than whole plasma. The aim of this study was to systematically compare the diagnostic potential of prostate cancer-associated miRNAs in whole plasma and in plasma EVs. Methods: RNA was isolated from whole plasma and plasma EV samples from a well characterised cohort of 50 patient with prostate cancer (PC) and 22 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Nine miRNAs known to have a diagnostic potential for PC in cell-free blood were quantified by RT-qPCR and the relative quantities were compared between patients with PC and BPH and between PC patients with Gleason score ≥ 8 and ≤6. Results: Only a small fraction of the total cell-free miRNA was recovered from the plasma EVs, however the EV-incorporated and whole plasma cell-free miRNA profiles were clearly different. Four of the miRNAs analysed showed a diagnostic potential in our patient cohort. MiR-375 could differentiate between PC and BPH patients when analysed in the whole plasma, while miR-200c-3p and miR-21-5p performed better when analysed in plasma EVs. EV-incorporated but not whole plasma Let-7a-5p level could distinguish PC patients with Gleason score ≥ 8 vs ≤6. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that for some miRNA biomarkers EVs provide a more consistent source of RNA than whole plasma, while other miRNAs show better diagnostic performance when tested in the whole plasma.publishersversionPeer reviewe
