Abstract

Efficient loading of various exogenous cargos into exosomes while not affecting their integrity and functionalities remains a major challenge. Here, a nanofluidic device named "exosome nanoporator (ENP)" is presented for high-throughput loading of various cargos into exosomes. By transporting exosomes through nanochannels with height comparable to their dimension, exosome membranes are permeabilized by mechanical compression and fluid shear, allowing the influx of cargo molecules into the exosomes from the surrounding solution while maintaining exosome integrity. The ENP consisting of an array of 30 000 nanochannels demonstrates a high sample throughput, and the working mechanism of the device is elucidated through experimental and numerical study. Further, the exosomes treated by the ENP can deliver their drug cargos to human non-small cell lung cancer cells and induce cell death, indicating the potential opportunities of the device for developing new exosome-based delivery vehicles for medical and biological applications.

摘要

高效地将各种外源 cargo 载入外泌体,同时又不影响其完整性和功能,仍然是一个主要挑战。在这里,我们提出了一种名为“外泌体纳米孔道仪(ENP)”的纳米流控装置,用于高通量地将各种 cargo 载入外泌体。通过将外泌体输送通过高度与它们的尺寸相当的纳米通道,在外泌体膜受到机械压缩和流体剪切的作用下被渗透,允许 cargo 分子从周围溶液中流入外泌体,同时保持外泌体的完整性。由 30000 个纳米通道组成的 ENP 具有高的样品通量,并且通过实验和数值研究阐明了该装置的工作机制。此外,经 ENP 处理的外泌体可以将其药物 cargo 递送到人非小细胞肺癌细胞并诱导细胞死亡,这表明该装置在开发用于医疗和生物应用的新型外泌体递送载体方面具有潜在的机会。
