isolation and preparation of endosomes containing magnetic nanoparticles from cultured cells

Geoptimaliseerde magnetische productie met hoge opbrengst van van endosoom afgeleide nanovesikels

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small vesicles secreted by almost all cells with a size range of 30-150 nm, containing abundant bioactive substances. Depending on the cell of origin, EVs show high heterogeneity, possessing multiple components specific to parent cells1. EVs are released into body fluids and transported to distant sites where they are taken up by target cells for action2, which can be utilized to deliver a wide range of bioactive molecules and drugs for tissue repairing, tumor diagnosis and treatment, and immune modulation3,4. However, other biological nanoparticles (e.g., lipoproteins) and nanovesicles (e.g., EVs derived from non-endosomal pathways) with similar biophysical properties in body fluids inevitably affect EV isolation and purification. To date, ultracentrifugation remains the gold standard for EV isolation, and other isolation methods, including sucrose density gradient centrifugation, ultrafiltration, polyethylene glycol precipitation, chromatography, and immunomagnetic bead isolation, have been developed5. The current bottleneck limiting clinical translation and commercialization of EV therapeutics is the severe lack of isolation techniques that allow for highly scalable and reproducible isolation of EVs6,7,8. Traditional EV isolation techniques (e.g., ultracentrifugation and size exclusion chromatography) suffer from low yield (1 x 107-1 x 108/1 x 106 cells), long production cycle (24-48 h), poor reproducibility of product quality, and require expensive and energy-intensive production equipment that cannot meet the current clinical demand for EVs6.
Exosome mimics (EMs), synthetic surrogates of native EVs, have attracted important attention due to their highly similar structure, function, and scalability in production. The main source of EMs is from the direct extrusion of whole parental cells with continuous sectioning9,10, demonstrating potent biological functions as native EVs11,12. For instance, EMs derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) exert similar wound-healing effects as native EVs and are richer in protein composition13. Though EMs derived from whole cells have the biological complexity of EVs, their main drawback is the heterogeneity of products because they are inevitably contaminated by various cellular organelles and cell debris. Protein localization analysis further revealed that EMs derived from whole-cell extrusion contain many non-EVs-specific proteins from mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum13. Moreover, most methods for manufacturing EMs still require ultracentrifugation, a highly time and energy-consuming process14. Considering the fact that exosomes are exclusively derived from cellular endosomes, we hypothesized that bioengineered endosome-derived nanovesicles may better recapitulate the biological homology between exosomes and EMs in comparison with the well-established cell membrane-derived EMs produced by whole cell extrusion method14. Nevertheless, the manufacture of endosome-derived nanovesicles is difficult due to the lack of viable approaches.
Clinical studies have been carried out by utilizing EVs as a surrogate of cell-free therapy and a nanoscale drug delivery system for the treatment of various diseases. For instance, EVs derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have been used to treat severe pneumonia caused by COVID-19 and have achieved promising results. Recently, genetically engineered EVs carrying CD24 proteins have also demonstrated potent therapeutic benefits for treating COVID-19 patients15,16. However, the clinical requirement of EV therapy still cannot be met with traditional isolation methods because of the low yield and cost. This study reports the large-scale production of endosome-derived nanovesicles via a magnetic separation-assisted high-speed homogenization approach. It takes advantage of the endocytosis pathway of MNPs to isolate MNP-loaded endosomes via magnetic separation, followed by high-speed homogenization to formulate endosomes into monodisperse nanovesicles. Since the types of endosomes collected by this protocol are diverse, further in-depth research is still required to establish good manufacturing practices (GMP) in the industry. This novel EM preparation approach is more time efficient (5 min of high-speed homogenization) to obtain nanovesicles homologous to native EVs. It produces exponentially more vesicles from the same amounts of cells than ultracentrifugation, which can be generally applied to various cell types.

In this study, we try to address a critical unmet need in exosome research, which is developing a large-scale and reproducible production method for exosome mimetics. Due to the notion of native evades, exosome mimetics, EMS, has been produced as surrogates by methods such as real exclusion and ultracentrifugation based filtration. Certainly most exosome mimetics are from the direct exclusion of whole cells, which demonstrates minimal biologic functions, but are inevitable contaminated by cell debris and organelles.Extracellular vesicles have attracted significant attention in biomedical research, especially in disease treatment. However, traditional EV isolation techniques like ultrasensitive filtration, inside exclusion, catamental glyphic start from low-yield poor productibility of plow down quality and require expensive and engineer intensive production equipment that cannot meet the clinical demand for EVs. Our study provided a simple and no cost method for scan up production of exosomes mimetics.We take advantage of unique biological finding that magnetic nanoparticles can be only endonized within cell endosomes, not other organelles. Thus, we can formulate the endosomes into uniform nanosescose. This method effectively improve EME and reduces cost.

Isolatie en bereiding van endosomen met magnetische nanodeeltjes uit gekweekte cellen

Kweek om te beginnen de cellen in DMEM Complete Medium met 10% FBS en 5% penicilline-streptomycine in een plaat met zes putjes. Incubeer de cultuur gedurende een nacht bij 37 graden Celsius en 5% koolstofdioxide. De volgende dag kweekt u de cellen samen met 10 nanomolaire polylysine-gemodificeerde ijzeroxide-nanodeeltjes of IONP's en incubeert u ze gedurende 12 uur bij 37 graden Celsius en 5% koolstofdioxide.Voeg na incubatie gedurende drie minuten 0,5 milliliter trypsine per putje toe om de cellen te verteren. Voeg vervolgens één milliliter Complete Medium per putje toe om de vertering te stoppen. Centrifugeer de celsuspensie bij 1.000 g gedurende vijf minuten en gooi het supernatans weg voordat u de pellet opnieuw in PBS in suspensie brengt.Breng de pellet vervolgens gedurende 15 minuten opnieuw in acht milliliter vers bereide hypotone oplossing. Breng de celsuspensie over in een glazen reageerbuis en gebruik een glazen homogenisator om 20 schokken met 1.000 tpm toe te passen om de organellen vrij te geven. Breng na homogenisatie één milliliter van de celsuspensie over in een microcentrifugebuis van 1,5 milliliter.Plaats de buis gedurende een uur in een magnetische scheider om IONP-geladen endosomen volledig te scheiden van andere organellen en celresten. Om endosomen te verzamelen, gooit u de vloeistof uit de buis en voegt u drie milliliter PBS toe om de endosomen opnieuw te suspenderen. Gebruik vervolgens een pipetpistool om te blazen om de bruine pellets op het contactoppervlak van de buis naast het magnetische frame opnieuw te suspenderen.Breng voor homogenisatie met hoge snelheid de endosoomoplossing over in een centrifugebuis van 15 milliliter. Plaats de koelbox onder de buis en plaats de buis vervolgens op de homogenisator met hoge snelheid. Plaats de sonde van 10 milliliter in de buis zonder de bodem aan te raken.Stel op het homogenisatorscherm de snelheid in op 140 g en stel de tijd in op vijf minuten. Druk op de OK-knop gevolgd door de Start-knop. Breng na homogenisatie met hoge snelheid de nanoblaasjessuspensie over in een buis van 1,5 milliliter en plaats de buis gedurende een uur in een magnetische scheider.Verzamel ten slotte de vloeistof die de vereiste exosoomnabootsers of EM's bevat zonder het oppervlak naast het magnetische frame te verstoren. De morfologie van BMSC-EM's geanalyseerd door NTA en TEM toonde een typische komvormige blaasjesachtige structuur, begrensd door een lipide dubbellaag. Zowel BMSC-EM's als 293T-EM's hadden een vergelijkbare hydrodynamische diameter als native EV's.Western blotting-resultaten toonden aan dat BMSC-EM's dezelfde eiwitbiomarkers bevatten als EV's en bijna geen plasmamembraanbesmetting hadden. De opbrengst van EMS was aanzienlijk hoger dan die van native EV's die door ultracentrifugatie werden bereid. De EM's hadden een vergelijkbare eiwitsamenstelling als native EV's.

Isolation and Preparation of Endosomes Containing Magnetic Nanoparticles from Cultured Cells

A Magnetic Separation-Assisted High-Speed Homogenization Method for Large-Scale Production of Endosome-Derived Vesicles

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have attracted significant attention in physiological and pathological research, disease diagnosis, and treatment; however, their clinical translation has been limited by the lack of scale-up manufacturing approaches. Therefore, this protocol provides a magnetic separation-assisted high-speed homogenization method for the large-scale production of endosome-derived nanovesicles as a new type of exosome mimics (EMs) derived from the endosomes, which have about 100-time higher yield than conventional ultracentrifugation method. In this method, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were internalized by parental cells via endocytosis and were subsequently accumulated within their endosomes. Then, MNPs-loaded endosomes were collected and purified by hypotonic treatment and magnetic separation. A high-speed homogenizer was utilized to break MNP-loaded endosomes into monodisperse nanovesicles. The resulting endosome-derived vesicles feature the same biological origin and structure, characterized by nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscope, and western blotting. Their morphology and protein composition are similar to native EVs, indicating that EMs may potentially serve as a low-cost and high-yield surrogate of native EVs for clinical translations.

Here, we describe a magnetic separation-assisted high-speed homogenization method for large-scale production of endosome-derived nanovesicles as a new type of exosome mimics (EMs) that share the same biological origin and similar structure, morphology, and protein composition of native extracellular vesicles (EVs).
