Patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, usually. There is a need for new specific and sensitive biomarkers. Mitochondrial DNA copy number change was observed in various cancers. Our aim was to detect mitochondrial DNA copy number in whole blood (wb-mtDNA) and in plasma (cell-free and exosome encapsulated mtDNA) in patients with serous epithelial ovarian tumor. DNA was isolated from EDTA blood and plasma obtained from 24 patients and 24 healthy controls. Exosomes were isolated from cell-free plasma, and exosome encapsulated DNA (exoDNA) was extracted. Quantitative-real-time PCR was performed with Human Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Monitoring Primer Set. Kruskall‑Wallis and Mann‑Whitney U test were used for data analysis. Wb-mtDNA copy number was significantly different among healthy controls and patients in multiple comparison (p = 0.0090 considering FIGO stage independently, and p = 0.0048 considering early- and late-stage cancers). There was a significant decrease among early-stage, all advanced stage and all cancer patients (FIGO I: 32.5 ± 8.3, p = 0.0061; FIGO III + IV: 37.2 ± 13.7 p = 0.0139; FIGO I + III + IV: 35.6 ± 12.2, p = 0.0017) or FIGO III patients alone (32.8 ± 5.6, p = 0.00089) compared to healthy controls. We found significant increase in copy number in exosomal mtDNA in cancer patients (236.0 ± 499.0, p = 0.0155), advanced-stage cancer patients (333.0 ± 575.0, p = 0.0095), of FIGO III (362.0 ± 609.2, p = 0.0494), and FIGO IV (304.0 ± 585.0, p = 0.0393) patients alone but not in samples of FIGO I patients (10.0 ± 3.5, p = 0.3907). In multiple comparison the increase was significant considering early- and late-stage cancers (p = 0.0253). Cell-free mtDNA copy numbers were not increased significantly. We found the highest copy number of mtDNA in exosomes, followed by plasma and peripheral blood in late-stage cancer patients. We observed significant difference in wb-mtDNA copy number between healthy controls and both early- and late-stage cancer patients.}, keywords = {mitochondrial DNA; cell-free mtDNA; exosomal mtDNA; serous ovarian cancer}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1873-4863}, pages = {76-81}, orcid-numbers = {Nagy, Bálint/0000-0002-0295-185X} } @article{MTMT:30338008, title = {Minimal information for studies of extracellular vesicles 2018 (MISEV2018): a position statement of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles and update of the MISEV2014 guidelines}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30338008}, author = {Théry, C. and Witwer, K.W. and Aikawa, E. and Alcaraz, M.J. and Anderson, J.D. and Andriantsitohaina, R. and Antoniou, A. and Arab, T. and Archer, F. and Atkin-Smith, G.K. and Ayre, D.C. and Bach, J.-M. and Bachurski, D. and Baharvand, H. and Balaj, L. and Baldacchino, S. and Bauer, N.N. and Baxter, A.A. and Bebawy, M. and Beckham, C. and Bedina, Zavec A. and Benmoussa, A. and Berardi, A.C. and Bergese, P. and Bielska, E. and Blenkiron, C. and Bobis-Wozowicz, S. and Boilard, E. and Boireau, W. and Bongiovanni, A. and Borràs, F.E. and Bosch, S. and Boulanger, C.M. and Breakefield, X. and Breglio, A.M. and Brennan, M.Á. and Brigstock, D.R. and Brisson, A. and Broekman, M.L.D. and Bromberg, J.F. and Bryl-Górecka, P. and Buch, S. and Buck, A.H. and Burger, D. and Busatto, S. and Buschmann, D. and Bussolati, B. and Buzás, Edit Irén and Byrd, J.B. and Camussi, G. and Carter, D.R.F. and Caruso, S. and Chamley, L.W. and Chang, Y.-T. and Chaudhuri, A.D. and Chen, C. and Chen, S. and Cheng, L. and Chin, A.R. and Clayton, A. and Clerici, S.P. and Cocks, A. and Cocucci, E. and Coffey, R.J. and Cordeiro-da-Silva, A. and Couch, Y. and Coumans, F.A.W. and Coyle, B. and Crescitelli, R. and Criado, M.F. and D’Souza-Schorey, C. and Das, S. and de, Candia P. and De, Santana E.F.

Several microRNA (miRNA) were shown to be involved in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. In preeclampsia (PE), placental dysfunction causes the enhanced release of extracellular vesicle-derived miRNAs. The hypoxia-sensitive hsa-mir-210 is the most common PE-associated miRNA, but its exosomal profile has not been investigated. Objectives: Our aims were to measure exosomal total-miRNA concentration and to perform expression analysis of circulating exosomal hsa-miR-210 in women affected by chronic hypertension (CHT) gestational hypertension (GHT) or PE. Materials and methods: We collected plasma samples from women with CHT, GHT, PE (moderate: mPE and severe: sPE) and from normotensive pregnancies. Exosomal miRNAs were extracted and miRNA concentration was measured. RT-PCR was carried out with hsa-miR-210-3p-specific primers and relative expression was calculated using the comparative Ct method. Results: The total-miRNA concentration was different in the disease subgroups, and was significantly higher in mPE and sPE compared to the other groups. We found a significant difference in the relative exosomal hsa-miR-210-3p expression between all hypertensive groups compared to the normotensive samples, but significant upregulation was only observed in case of mPE and sPE patients. Both the level of total-miRNA and hsa-miR-210 expression was higher in case of severe PE. Conclusions: The level of circulating exosomal total-miRNA and hsa-miR-210 was elevated in women with PE, and it was higher in the severe form. We showed that hsa-miR-210 is secreted via exosomes, which may have a role in the pathomechanism of the disease. © 2017 International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy.}, keywords = {PREECLAMPSIA; microRNA; exosome; Maternal circulation}, year = {2017}, eissn = {2210-7797}, pages = {207-212}, orcid-numbers = {Biró, Orsolya/0000-0002-4300-3602; Alasztics, Bálint/0000-0002-4011-8439; Molvarec, Attila/0000-0002-3229-3034; Joó, József Gábor/0000-0001-9820-6514; Nagy, Bálint/0000-0002-0295-185X; Rigó, János/0000-0003-2762-6516} } @article{MTMT:3214053, title = {Obstacles and opportunities in the functional analysis of extracellular vesicle RNA - an ISEV position paper.}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3214053}, author = {Mateescu, B and Kowal, EJ and van Balkom, BW and Bartel, S and Bhattacharyya, SN and Buzás, Edit Irén and Buck, AH and de Candia, P and Chow, FW and Das, S and Driedonks, TA and Fernandez-Messina, L and Haderk, F and Hill, AF and Jones, JC and Van, Keuren-Jensen KR and Lai, CP and Lasser, C and Liegro, ID and Lunavat, TR and Lorenowicz, MJ and Maas, SL and Mager, I and Mittelbrunn, M and Momma, S and Mukherjee, K and Nawaz, M and Pegtel, DM and Pfaffl, MW and Schiffelers, RM and Tahara, H and Thery, C and Tosar, JP and Wauben, MH and Witwer, KW and Nolte-'t, Hoen EN}, doi = {10.1080/20013078.2017.1286095}, journal-iso = {J EXTRACELLULAR VESICL}, journal = {JOURNAL OF EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES}, volume = {6}, unique-id = {3214053}, abstract = {The release of RNA-containing extracellular vesicles (EV) into the extracellular milieu has been demonstrated in a multitude of different in vitro cell systems and in a variety of body fluids. RNA-containing EV are in the limelight for their capacity to communicate genetically encoded messages to other cells, their suitability as candidate biomarkers for diseases, and their use as therapeutic agents. Although EV-RNA has attracted enormous interest from basic researchers, clinicians, and industry, we currently have limited knowledge on which mechanisms drive and regulate RNA incorporation into EV and on how RNA-encoded messages affect signalling processes in EV-targeted cells. Moreover, EV-RNA research faces various technical challenges, such as standardisation of EV isolation methods, optimisation of methodologies to isolate and characterise minute quantities of RNA found in EV, and development of approaches to demonstrate functional transfer of EV-RNA in vivo. These topics were discussed at the 2015 EV-RNA workshop of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles. This position paper was written by the participants of the workshop not only to give an overview of the current state of knowledge in the field, but also to clarify that our incomplete knowledge - of the nature of EV(-RNA)s and of how to effectively and reliably study them - currently prohibits the implementation of gold standards in EV-RNA research.

Using flow cytometry, we found that the majority of circulating particles within the size range of extracellular vesicles lacked common vesicular markers. We identified most of these particles as lipoproteins (predominantly low-density lipoprotein, LDL) which mimicked the characteristics of extracellular vesicles and also co-purified with them. Based on biophysical properties of LDL this finding was highly unexpected. Current state-of-the-art extracellular vesicle isolation and purification methods did not result in lipoprotein-free vesicle preparations from blood plasma or from platelet concentrates. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy showed an association of LDL with isolated vesicles upon in vitro mixing.

This is due to their capacity to transfer proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, thereby influencing various physiological and pathological functions of both recipient and parent cells. While intensive investigation has targeted the role of EVs in different pathological processes, for example, in cancer and autoimmune diseases, the EV-mediated maintenance of homeostasis and the regulation of physiological functions have remained less explored. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the physiological roles of EVs, which has been written by crowd-sourcing, drawing on the unique EV expertise of academia-based scientists, clinicians and industry based in 27 European countries, the United States and Australia. This review is intended to be of relevance to both researchers already working on EV biology and to newcomers who will encounter this universal cell biological system. Therefore, here we address the molecular contents and functions of EVs in various tissues and body fluids from cell systems to organs. We also review the physiological mechanisms of EVs in bacteria, lower eukaryotes and plants to highlight the functional uniformity of this emerging communication system.}, year = {2015}, eissn = {2001-3078}, orcid-numbers = {Buzás, Edit Irén/0000-0002-3744-206X; Buzás, Krisztina/0000-0001-8933-2033; Ligeti, Erzsébet/0000-0001-6374-729X; Pállinger, Éva/0000-0002-5789-0951} }
