Article Abstract

Apoptosis is an essential process for normal physiology and plays a key role in the resolution of inflammation. Clearance of apoptotic cells (ACs) involves complex signalling between phagocytic cells, ACs, and the extracellular vesicles (EVs) they produce. Here, we discuss apoptotic cell-derived extracellular vesicles (ACdEVs) and how their structure relates to their function in AC clearance and the control of inflammation, focussing on the ACdEV proteome. We review the current knowledge, ongoing work and future directions for research in this field.

Crosstalk between leukemic cells and their surrounding mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in the bone marrow microenvironment is crucial for the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and is mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs). The EV-specific miRNAs derived from MDS-MSCs remain poorly explored. EVs isolated from HS-5, an immortalized stromal cell line, promoted the proliferation and 5-azacytidine (AZA) resistance of SKM-1 cells.

Parkin is a mitochondria-associated E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase that mediates mitophagy and organelle quality control. More recently, Parkin has been implicated in stimulating antitumor immunity and reprogramming the tumor immune microenvironment. Here, we showed that Parkin ubiquitinates the alarmin molecule, high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) on Lys146 (K146) using predominantly K48 linkages.

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are key regulators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox balance. Although intracellular SODs have been extensively studied, growing attention has been directed toward understanding the roles of extracellular SODs in both Dictyostelium and mammalian systems. In Dictyostelium discoideum, SodC is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored enzyme that modulates extracellular superoxide to regulate Ras, PI3K signaling, and cytoskeletal remodeling during directional cell migration.

Global Research Trends in EV-Based Cell-Free Therapy for Osteoarthritis: A Bibliometric Analysis.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) represents a major global health challenge with no ideal treatment options available. Early-stage treatment typically focuses on symptomatic relief of pain and stiffness; while late-stage patients can only opt for surgical interventions such as joint replacement to improve quality of life. Cell-free therapy based on extracellular vesicles (EVs) has offered a novel therapeutic approach for regulating bone metabolism and repairing cartilage, demonstrating emerging potential.
