Abstract

We previously reported transplantation of brain microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs) into cerebral white matter infarction model improved the animal's behavioral outcome by increasing the number of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). We also revealed extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from MVECs promoted survival and proliferation of OPCs in vitro. In this study, we investigated the mechanism how EVs derived from MVECs contribute to OPC survival and proliferation. Protein mass spectrometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed fibronectin was abundant on the surface of EVs from MVECs. As fibronectin has been reported to promote OPC survival and proliferation via integrin signaling pathway, we blocked the binding between fibronectin and integrins using RGD sequence mimics. Blocking the binding, however, did not attenuate the survival and proliferation promoting effect of EVs on OPCs. Flow cytometric and imaging analyses revealed fibronectin on EVs mediates their internalization into OPCs by its binding to heparan sulfate proteoglycan on OPCs. OPC survival and proliferation promoted by EVs were attenuated by blocking the internalization of EVs into OPCs. These lines of evidence suggest that fibronectin on EVs me...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
