Abstract:
:Intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) are released into the extracellular space as exosomes after the fusion of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) with the plasma membrane. miRNAs are delivered to the raft-like region of MVB by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). RNA loading into exosomes can be either through direct interaction between RNA and the raft-like region of the MVB membrane, or through interaction between an RBP-RNA complex with this raft-like region. Selection of RNA aptamers that bind to lipid raft region of liposomal membranes was performed using the selection-amplification (SELEX) method. The pool of RNA aptamers was isolated, and the binding of this pool to lipid-raft regions was demonstrated. Sequencing of clones from rafted liposome-eluted RNAs showed sequences apparently of independent origin. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the most frequent raft-motifs present within these sequences. Four raft RNA motifs, one of them an EXO motif, have been identified. These motifs appear to be most frequent both in the case of raft RNA aptamers and in the case of exosomal pro-tumoral miRNAs transferred from cancer cells to macrophages, natural killer cells and dendritic cells, thus suggesting that the selection for incorporation of these miRNAs into ILVs is based on their affinity to the raft-like region of the MVB membrane.
