Intercellular Communication between Airway Epithelial Cells Is Mediated by Exosome-Like Vesicles.

TLDR
It is suggested that the transfer of exosomal cargo between airway epithelial cells significantly alters the qualitative and quantitative profiles of airway secretions, including mucin hypersecretion, and the miRNA cargo ofExosomes in target cells.
Abstract
Airway epithelium structure/function can be altered by local inflammatory/immune signals, and this process is called epithelial remodeling. The mechanism by which this innate response is regulated,...

The roles of exosomal miRNAs and lncRNAs in lung diseases.

TL;DR: This review will summarize recent knowledge about the roles of exosomal miRNAs and lncRNAs in lung diseases, which has shed light on the discovery of novel diagnostic methods and treatments for these disorders.

Cross-Talk Between Alveolar Macrophages and Lung Epithelial Cells is Essential to Maintain Lung Homeostasis.

TL;DR: Characteristics and functions of AMs and lung ECs as well as different communication mechanisms these cells utilize to maintain lung immune balance and response to pathogens are revisited.

Extracellular vesicles: novel communicators in lung diseases.

TL;DR: This comprehensive review focuses on what is currently known about the role of EVs as markers and mediators of lung pathologies including COPD, pulmonary hypertension, asthma, lung cancer and ALI/ARDS and explores the role EVs can potentially serve as therapeutics for these lung diseases when released from healthy progenitor cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells.

Exosome-mediated transfer of mRNAs and microRNAs is a novel mechanism of genetic exchange between cells

TL;DR: It is shown that exosomes contain both mRNA and microRNA, which can be delivered to another cell, and can be functional in this new location, and it is proposed that this RNA is called “exosomal shuttle RNA” (esRNA).

Differential expression analysis of multifactor RNA-Seq experiments with respect to biological variation

TL;DR: A flexible statistical framework is developed for the analysis of read counts from RNA-Seq gene expression studies, and parallel computational approaches are developed to make non-linear model fitting faster and more reliable, making the application of GLMs to genomic data more convenient and practical.

Tumour exosome integrins determine organotropic metastasis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that exosomes from mouse and human lung-, liver- and brain-tropic tumour cells fuse preferentially with resident cells at their predicted destination, namely lung fibroblasts and epithelial cells, liver Kupffer cells and brain endothelial cells.

Small-sample estimation of negative binomial dispersion, with applications to SAGE data

TL;DR: A quantile-adjusted conditional maximum likelihood estimator for the dispersion parameter of the negative binomial distribution is derived and an "exact" test is derived that outperforms the standard approximate asymptotic tests.
