We previously found evidence that human colorectal cancer cells in vivo release large multivesicular body-like structures en bloc. Here, we tested whether this large EV type is unique to colorectal cancer cells. We found that all cell types we studied (including different cell lines and cells in their original tissue environment) released multivesicular large EVs (MV-lEVs). We also demonstrated that upon spontaneous rupture of the limiting membrane of the MV-lEVs, their intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) escaped to the extracellular environment by a ‘torn bag mechanism’. We proved that the MV-lEVs were released by ectocytosis of amphisomes (hence, we termed them amphiectosomes). Both ILVs of amphiectosomes and small EVs separated from conditioned media were either exclusively CD63 or LC3B positive. According to our model, upon fusion of multivesicular bodies with autophagosomes, fragments of the autophagosomal inner membrane curl up to form LC3B positive ILVs of amphisomes, while CD63 positive small EVs are of multivesicular body origin. Our data suggest a novel common release mechanism for small EVs, distinct from the exocytosis of multivesicular bodies or amphisomes, as well as the small ectosome release pathway.}, year = {2025}, eissn = {2050-084X}, orcid-numbers = {Visnovitz, Tamás/0000-0002-7962-5083; Koncz, Anna/0000-0003-2511-2394; Németh, Krisztina/0000-0002-3825-2137; Fletcher, Kelsey Aine/0009-0001-1668-5222; Komlósi, Zsolt/0000-0002-4149-1497; Cserép, Csaba/0000-0001-5513-2471; Lőrincz, Péter/0000-0001-7374-667X; Valcz, Gábor/0000-0002-7109-3529; Buzás, Edit Irén/0000-0002-3744-206X} } @article{MTMT:35675779, title = {The protein cargo of extracellular vesicles correlates with the epigenetic aging clock of exercise sensitive DNAmFitAge}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35675779}, author = {György, Bernadett and Szatmári, Réka and Ditrói, Tamás and Torma, Ferenc Gergely and Pálóczi, Krisztina and Balbisi, Mirjam and Visnovitz, Tamás and Koltai, Erika and Nagy, Péter and Buzás, Edit Irén and Horvath, Steve and Radák, Zsolt}, doi = {10.1007/s10522-024-10177-9}, journal-iso = {BIOGERONTOLOGY}, journal = {BIOGERONTOLOGY}, volume = {26}, unique-id = {35675779}, issn = {1389-5729}, abstract = {Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are implicated in inter-organ communication, which becomes particularly relevant during aging and exercise. DNA methylation-based aging clocks reflect lifestyle and environmental factors, while regular exercise is known to induce adaptive responses, including epigenetic adaptations. Twenty individuals with High-fitness (aged 57.7 ± 9.8 years) and twenty Medium–Low-fitness (aged 57.5 ± 9.7 years) subjects provided blood samples. EVs were isolated from the samples using a size exclusion chromatography (SEC)-based method, and their protein content was analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS). Acceleration of the biological age estimator DNAmFitAge (AgeAccelFit) was associated with the protein cargo of EVs, whereas PhenoAge and GrimAge acceleration did not show a significant relationship. This finding suggests that the epigenetic aging-modulating role of exercise may involve inter-organ communication via EVs. Set Enrichment Analysis was performed to identify enriched Gene Ontology (GO) terms for sets of proteins that were either correlated with AgeAccelFit or detected exclusively in individuals with high levels of aerobic fitness. The protein cargo of EVs further suggests that inter-organ communication influences inflammation, the immune system, cellular repair, adhesion, metabolism and coagulation.

To overcome these challenges, we previously developed the Transient Agarose Spot (TAS) assay, which enhanced assay precision and reproducibility. In this study, we present an improved microplate-based TAS assay. By using a microplate reader, we automated data acquisition, enabling the detection of cell migration in a 96-well plate format with greater throughput and accuracy. The new method applies Hoechst staining to label viable cells, providing a stable signal for kinetic analysis without compromising cell viability. We validated this approach with fluorophore-expressing cancer cells and demonstrated its ability to monitor dose-dependent effects of fetal bovine serum on cell migration. Additionally, we applied the microplate-based TAS assay to assess the anti-migratory effects of kinase inhibitors and mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) on lung cancer cells. The assay accurately quantified migration inhibition and revealed the concentration-dependent effects of EVs, highlighting their potential as therapeutic agents.

However, there is limited data on how this adsorbed corona affects the accessibility of EV surface molecules. Here, we investigated various potential corona-stripping conditions for their ability to affect the immune detection of EVs. First, we artificially formed an EV corona around nascent HEK293T-PalmGFP cell-derived large EVs (lEVs) by incubating them with Cy5-labelled human plasma proteins. The co-localisation rate of plasma proteins and lEVs decreased significantly upon high-salt washing with NaCl, LiCl and KCl solutions, suggesting a considerable removal of the corona components. Additional evidence for corona modification was a significantly increased fluorescent annexin V binding to plasma lEVs and annexin V affinity capture of both THP1- and blood plasma-derived lEVs upon high-salt washing. A similar effect of high ionic strength was observed when THP1 lEVs were separated from a serum-containing medium, which allowed for corona formation, but not when EVs were produced under serum-free conditions. Using a MACSPlex kit and high-salt washing for small EVs from plasma and THP1 conditioned medium, we also demonstrated significantly improved immunodetection of 15 and 9 out of 37 surface markers, respectively. In this Technical Note, we present evidence that modifying the protein corona around EVs can significantly affect the immune detection of specific EV markers. © 2025 The Author(s).

Standardisation is a pressing issue in EV research, prompting collaborative global efforts to address it. While the MISEV guidelines offer valuable recommendations, unanswered questions remain, particularly regarding sample storage. We compared size exclusion chromatography (SEC) columns with pore sizes of 35 nm and 70 nm to identify fractions with minimal contaminating proteins and the highest concentration of small EVs (sEVs). Following column selection, we explored potential differences in the quality and quantity of sEVs isolated from platelet-free plasma (PFP) after long-term storage at −80 °C (>2.5 years) compared to freshly drawn blood. Our methodologically rigorous study indicates that prolonged storage, under correct storage and processing conditions, does not compromise sEV quality.
