Exosomes and microvesicles: extracellular vesicles for genetic information transfer and gene therapy

TL;DR: Extracellular vesicles are emerging as potent genetic information transfer agents underpinning a range of biological processes and with therapeutic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular lipidomics of exosomes released by PC-3 prostate cancer cells.

TL;DR: The detailed lipid composition provided in this study may be useful to understand the mechanism of exosome formation, release and function, and several of the lipids enriched in exosomes could potentially be used as cancer biomarkers.
Journal ArticleDOI

How pure are your vesicles

TL;DR: A straightforward method to estimate the purity of vesicle preparations by comparing the ratio of nano-vesicle counts to protein concentration, using tools such as the increasingly available NanoSight platform and a colorimetric protein assaysuch as the BCA-assay is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond PSA: The Next Generation of Prostate Cancer Biomarkers

TL;DR: The current state of prostate cancer biomarker research, including the PSA revolution, its impact on early cancer detection, the recent advances in biomarker discovery, and the future efforts that promise to improve clinical management of this disease are reviewed.

Molecular characterization of dendritic cell-derived exosomes. Selective accumulation of the heat shock protein hsc73.

TL;DR: DC-derived exosomes accumulate a defined subset of cellular proteins reflecting their endosomal biogenesis and accounting for their biological function, and exosome production is downregulated upon DC maturation, indicating that in vivo,Exosomes are produced by immature DCs in peripheral tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endocytosis, intracellular sorting, and processing of exosomes by dendritic cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that exosomes also are internalized and processed by immature DCs for presentation to CD4(+) T cells, implying that exOSomes present in circulation or extracellular fluids constitute an alternative source of self- or allopeptides for DCs during maintenance of peripheral tolerance or initiation of the indirect pathway of allorecognition in transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Malignant effusions and immunogenic tumour-derived exosomes

TL;DR: Exosomes from patients with melanoma deliver Mart1 tumour antigens to dendritic cells derived from monocytes for cross presentation to clones of cytotoxic T lymphocytes specific to Mart1, opening up new avenues for immunisation against cancers.
