Article Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are pivotal bioactive structures involved in various processes including inflammation. Herein we report the interactions between EVs and NETs during murine endotoxemia studied in situ directly in the vasculature (cremaster muscle, liver sinusoids) using intravital microscopy (IVM). We captured NETs and EV release in real time by both non- and polarized neutrophils in liver but not in cremaster vasculature. When comparing numbers of circulating EVs of various origin (nanoparticle tracking analysis-NTA, flow cytometry) with those interacting with endothelium and NETs (IVM) we observed that whereas platelet and monocyte/macrophage-derived EVs dominate in blood and peritoneal lavage, respectively, mostly neutrophil-derived EVs interact with the vascular lining, NETs and leukocytes. Despite the interaction, NETs do not affect EV formation as NET release inhibition did not alter EV release. However, EVs inhibit NETs formation and in particular, erythrocyte-derived EVs downregulate NET release and this effect is mediated via Siglec-E-dependent interactions with neutrophils. Overall, we report that EVs are present in NETs in vivo and they do modulate their release but the process in not bidirectional. Moreover, EVs isolated from body fluids might not reflect their importance in direct endothelial- and leukocyte-related interactions.

Macrophages play crucial roles in the progression of liver diseases. Increasing studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) could reshape the liver immune microenvironment by regulating the function and phenotype of macrophages, thereby exerting a therapeutic effect on liver diseases. Mitochondria, apart from being the central hub of energy metabolism, also finely regulate macrophage-mediated innate immune responses by modulating reactive oxygen species levels, cell polarization, and cell death.

Hypoxia plays a critical role in regulating the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by modulating the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), important components of TIME, can be regulated by hypoxic conditions. Unfortunately, the molecular mechanisms by which hypoxia regulates TAMs in TIME to affect NSCLC progression has not been fully delineated.

Background: The risk factors associated with treatment resistance to consolidation durvalumab following chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have not been well established.
Methods: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were isolated from the pretreatment serum of 73 patients treated with consolidation durvalumab. Isolation was performed using CD9/CD63 antibodies, and EV proteins were identified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
