All cells secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing nucleic acid cargo, including microRNAs (miRNAs), that regulate the function of receiving cells. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) affect intracellular function via multiple signaling cascades. However, the mechanisms of GPCR intercellular signaling through EV miRNA activity are unknown. Human U2 osteosarcoma cells expressing native GPCRs were used to selectively stimulate distinct G protein signaling cascades (Gα, Gα, Gα, and β-arrestin) by members of specific receptor subclasses including the adenosine receptor A1 (ADORA1), the histamine receptor H1 (HRH1), the frizzled class receptor 4 (FZD4), and the atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3), respectively. We hypothesized that stimulation of specific classes of GPCRs would cause the release of EVs containing miRNAs with receptor-specific up- or down-regulated expression, affecting unique pathological downstream signaling cascades. Receptor-specific agonists dose-dependently increased respective signaling cascade intermediates. We found no change in the quantity of EVs (~200nm diameter), but there were distinct EV miRNA signatures following stimulation of GPCRs. Network analyses of differentially expressed miRNA and their predicted targets validated the linkage between specific receptors and cell function and pathological states. The data can be used to reverse engineer mechanisms involving EV miRNAs for various physiological and pathological processes. GPCRs are major pharmacological targets, so understanding the mechanisms that stimulate or inhibit GPCR-mediated changes in extracellular miRNA signatures could improve long- and short-term therapeutic and unwanted drug effects.
所有细胞都会分泌包含核酸货物的细胞外囊泡(EVs),其中包括可调节接收细胞功能的微小RNA(miRNAs)。G蛋白偶联受体(GPCRs)通过多种信号级联反应影响细胞内功能。然而,通过EV miRNA活性进行的GPCR细胞间信号传导机制尚不清楚。利用表达天然GPCRs的人U2骨肉瘤细胞,分别通过特定受体亚类的成员,包括腺苷受体A1(ADORA1)、组胺受体H1(HRH1)、卷曲蛋白4(FZD4)和非典型趋化因子受体3(ACKR3),选择性地刺激不同的G蛋白信号级联反应(Gα、Gα、Gα和β-抑制蛋白)。我们假设,刺激特定类别的GPCRs会导致含有miRNAs的EVs释放,这些miRNAs的表达具有受体特异性上调或下调,从而影响独特的病理性下游信号级联反应。受体特异性激动剂以剂量依赖方式增加各自的信号级联中间体。我们发现EVs(直径约200nm)的数量没有变化,但在刺激GPCRs后有明显不同的EV miRNA特征。对差异表达的miRNA及其预测靶点进行网络分析,验证了特定受体与细胞功能和病理状态之间的联系。这些数据可用于反向工程涉及EV miRNAs的各种生理和病理过程的机制。GPCRs是主要的药理学靶点,因此了解刺激或抑制GPCR介导的细胞外miRNA特征变化的机制,可能会改善长期和短期的治疗效果以及不良药物作用。
