Extracellular vesicles (EVs) form through regulated biogenesis processes involving sphingomyelinases (SMases), enzymes that metabolize sphingomyelin to produce ceramide-a lipid influencing membrane rigidity and essential for EV generation. This study explores the impact of inhibiting neutral SMase (NSM) and acid SMase (ASM) on the sorting of EV protein and RNA cargoes in human MCF7 cells. Our results revealed that NSM inhibition reduces EV nanoparticles and diminishes RNA and protein cargoes, including endosomal, spliceosomal, and translation-related proteins. Conversely, ASM inhibition increased RNA-binding proteins within and enhanced the expression of ribonucleoprotein complex-associated RNA in released EVs, including several snRNAs and 7SL RNA. Intriguingly, ASM-inhibited EVs enhanced the migration and translational activity of recipient MCF10A cells. These findings suggest an important role for SMase-dependent vesiculation in governing RNA and protein trafficking to the extracellular space, unveiling potential implications for cellular communication and function.
细胞外囊泡(EVs)通过涉及鞘磷脂酶(SMases)的调控生物发生过程形成,鞘磷脂酶是一种将鞘磷脂代谢产生神经酰胺的酶,神经酰胺是一种影响膜刚性且对EV生成至关重要的脂质。本研究探讨了抑制中性鞘磷脂酶(NSM)和酸性鞘磷脂酶(ASM)对人MCF7细胞中EV蛋白质和RNA货物分选的影响。我们的结果显示,抑制NSM会减少EV纳米颗粒,并减少RNA和蛋白质货物,包括内体、剪接体和翻译相关蛋白。相反,抑制ASM会增加释放的EV中RNA结合蛋白的含量,并增强核糖核蛋白复合物相关RNA的表达,包括几种小核RNA(snRNAs)和7SL RNA。有趣的是,ASM抑制的EV增强了受体MCF10A细胞的迁移和翻译活性。这些发现表明,依赖SMase的囊泡形成在控制RNA和蛋白质向细胞外空间运输中起重要作用,揭示了其对细胞通讯和功能的潜在影响。
