1,1′-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (Dil; Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to indicate the endocytosis of exosomes by NK92-MI cells through staining of the cytoplasm and intracellular membrane. Briefly, the SW480-exosome suspension was incubated with Dil (1:2000, Sigma) and washed through Exosome Spin Columns (MW3000, Life, Thermo Fisher, USA) to obtain Dil-labeled SW480 exosomes, which were incubated with NK92-MI cells. The chamber cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Beyotime). Finally, the endocytosis of the recipient cells was examined under a fluorescence microscope (Nikon ECLIPSE C1) equipped with a DS-U3 imaging system (Nikon).

EVs were isolated from PL‐based preparations2, 46, 47, 48, 49, 51 by sequentially ultracentrifugation (500 rcf for 10 min; 2000 rcf for 10 min; 100,000 rcf for 1 h). EV pellet was then resuspended to reconstitute the initial PL volume and subsequently used at 5%, 10% or 20% in the medium for the experiments. For FACS analysis and uptake assay in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC), 100 μl of EVs were stained for 10 min at 37°C with 5 μM 5(6)‐CFDA‐SE [5‐(and‐6)‐carboxyfluorescein diacetate, succinimidyl ester] (CFSE; Invitrogen/Thermo Fischer Scientific) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Excess dye was removed using Exosome Spin Columns (Thermo Fischer Scientific) following the manufacturer's recommendations.

The HeLa and HT1080 cell lines were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (ECACC, 93021013 and 85111505). Cells were cultured until 80% confluency and washed 3 times with DMEM. Then, the medium was switched to DMEM. They were then conditioned for 48 hours, after which exosomes were isolated as previously described11,12. In brief, exosomes were isolated by ultrafiltration. Conditioned medium was filtered through 0.22 µm Steriflip filters to remove cellular debris and large vesicles. The filtrate was then added to Amicon Ultra-15 100 kDa filters (Millipore, SCGP00525) to centrifuge at 5,000 × g for 5 min. The flow-through was discarded and the concentrated exosomes were collected and washed with PBS three times before being stored at -80°C.
Exosome labeling was performed using 10 uM DiI or DiO (Thermo Fisher, V22889), incubated for 20 minutes at 4°C. Then, Exosome Spin Columns (Thermo Fisher, 4484449) were used to remove the unincorporated dye.

In vivo imaging experiments were performed as previously described [71 (link)]. EV fraction (15 µg) was incubated with 5 µM Cy7 Mono NHS Ester (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK) for 90 min at 37 °C. The unincorporated dye was removed using Exosome Spin Columns (MW. 3000) (ThermoFisher). Animal experiments were performed in compliance with the guidelines of the Ethics Committee of Animal Care and Experimentation of Tokushima University (approval number T29-31). Eight-week-old female BALB/c mice (CLEA, Tokyo, Japan) were administered with 15 µg Cy7-labeled EVs per mouse by intraperitoneal injection. At 30 min after the injection, Cy7 fluorescence in the various organs of mice was analyzed by the IVIS Spectrum imaging system (Caliper Life Sciences, A PerkinElmer Company, Hopkinton, MA, USA).

Isolation of Extracellular Vesicles from BMDM

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For isolation of extracellular vesicles, the Total Exosome Isolation Reagent from cell culture media (Thermo Scientific) was used. After differentiation, BMDMs were seeded in a density of 1 × 107 cells/10 ml dish. FCS supplement in BMDM media was replaced by exosome‐depleted FCS (Thermo Scientific). In order to avoid carryover of LPS after the LPS priming step, BMDMs were rinsed twice with pre‐warmed PBS before stimulation with ATP. After ATP stimulation, cell culture media was harvested and centrifuged at 2,000 ×g for 30 min at 4°C to remove cells and debris. The supernatant was transferred into a new tube and mixed with the reagent mixture well by vortexing. Samples were incubated overnight at 4°C. After incubation, samples were centrifuged at 10,000 ×g for 1 h at 4°C. The supernatant was carefully discarded. Extracellular vesicles were resuspended in PBS. To remove ATP and possible contaminants, Exosome Spin Columns (MW3000, Thermo Scientific) were used according to the manufacturer's protocol. The protein content of the EVs was determined using BCA protein assay (Pierce), and subsequent stimulations and injections were carried out using equal amounts of EV protein.

EVs were labelled with lipophilic red fluorescent dye (PKH26, Sigma-Aldrich), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, 0.32 μl PKH26 was mixed with 5 μg EV samples in 40 μl diluent C, and incubated for 5 min at room temperature. dfPBS was used as a negative control. The labelling reaction was stopped by adding 50 μl chilled dfPBS, and subjected to Exosome Spin Columns (MW 3000, ThermoFisher) at 750g for 2 min to remove the free dye and enrich the labelled EVs, which were adjusted to 5 μg/100 μl for the neuronal EV uptake assay.

Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 10 min and permeabilized with 0.5% Tween-20 in PBS for 5 min. Cells were incubated with ActinGreen488 (ThermoFisher) for 30 min and with DAPI for 5 min. Fluorescence images of random four fields were taken using a Floid® Imaging Station (ThermoFisher) and fluorescence-positive cells in each field were counted.

To track EV uptake by cultured fibroblasts, purified EV were labeled with PKH26, a red membrane dye (Sigma-Aldrich), according to the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, 300 μl of EV was suspended into 100 μl of Diluent C, which was mixed with 1.4 μl of PKH26 dye. The labeling reaction was stopped by adding an equal volume of EV-free FBS. Exosome Spin Columns (Cat. 4484449, Thermo Fisher Scientific) were used to remove unincorporated PKH26. The cultured fibroblasts in the slide chamber were incubated with labeled EV at 37°C for 24 h. After incubation, cells were stained with Calcein AM (5 μM). Cells were fixed with 2% formaldehyde for 5 min and mounted with DAPI containing ProLong Gold Antifade medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Images were taken with an FV1000 confocal microscope (Olympus, Japan).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
