Gut Microbiota Extracellular Vesicles as Signaling Carriers in Host-Microbiota CrosstalkSultan, Salma 24 October 2023 (has links)
Microbiota-released extracellular vesicles (MEVs) have emerged as key players in intercellular signaling in host-microbiome communications. However, their role in gut-brain axis signaling has been poorly investigated. Here, we performed deep multi-omics profiling of MEVs generated ex-vivo and from stool samples to gain insight into their role in gut-brain-axis signaling. Metabolomics unveiled a wide array of metabolites embedded in MEVs, including many neurotransmitter-related compounds such as arachidonyl-dopamine (NADA), gabapentin, glutamate, and N-acylethanolamines. To test the biodistribution of MEVs from the gut to other parts of the body, Caco-2, RIN-14B, and hCMEC/D3 cells showed the capacity to internalize labeled MEVs through an endocytic mechanism. Additionally, MEVs exhibited dose-dependent paracellular transport through Caco-2 intestinal cells and hCMEC/D3 brain endothelial cells. Overall, our results revealed the capabilities of MEVs to cross the intestinal and blood-brain barriers to delivering their cargo to distant parts of the body.
