シルビア・カペッロ率いる研究チームは、脳の発達において細胞間コミュニケーションを促進するエクソソームなどの細胞外小胞(EVs)の役割を明らかにしました。細胞外小胞は、細胞間で特定の信号やタンパク質を運ぶことで、脳の発達に重要な役割を果たします。研究は、高解像度のライブイメージングで、小胞が脳細胞の核に入り、重要な転写因子を運び、細胞の遺伝子発現を直接変えることを示しました。これらの発見は、新たな治療法開発への道を開く可能性があります。

Summary

Cellular crosstalk is an essential process influenced by numerous factors, including secreted vesicles that transfer nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins between cells. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been the center of many studies focusing on neurodegenerative disorders, but whether EVs display cell-type-specific features for cellular crosstalk during neurodevelopment is unknown. Here, using human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cerebral organoids, neural progenitors, neurons, and astrocytes, we identify heterogeneity in EV protein content and dynamics in a cell-type-specific and time-dependent manner. Our results support the trafficking of key molecules via EVs in neurodevelopment, such as the transcription factor YAP1, and their localization to differing cell compartments depending on the EV recipient cell type. This study sheds new light on the biology of EVs during human brain development.
