Abstract Exosomes are nanovesicles harboring proteins important for antigen presentation. We compared the potency of differently loaded exosomes, directly loaded with OVA323-339 peptide (Pep-Exo) or exosomes from OVA-pulsed DCs (OVA-Exo), for their ability to induce specific T-cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Both Pep-Exo and OVA-Exo elicited specific transgenic T-cell proliferation in vitro, with the Pep-Exo being more efficient. In contrast, only OVA-Exo induced specific T-cell responses in vivo highlighting the importance of indirect loading strategies in clinical applications. Coadministration of whole OVA overcame the unresponsiveness with Pep-Exo but still elicited a lower response compared with OVA-Exo. In parallel, we found that OVA-Exo not only augmented the specific T-cell response but also gave a Th1-type shift and an antibody response even in the absence of whole OVA. We detected IgG2a and interferon-γ production from splenocytes showing the capability of exosomes to provide antigen for B-cell activation. Furthermore, we found that B cells are needed for exosomal T-cell stimulation because Bruton tyrosine kinase–deficient mice showed abrogated B- and T-cell responses after OVA-Exo immunization. These findings reveal that exosomes are potent immune regulators and are relevant for the design of vaccine adjuvants and therapeutic intervention strategies to modulate immune responses.

AbstractN6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most prevalent modification in eukaryotic RNAs while accumulating studies suggest that m6A aberrant expression plays an important role in cancer. HNRNPA2B1 is a m6A reader which binds to nascent RNA and thus affects a perplexing array of RNA metabolism exquisitely. Despite unveiled facets that HNRNPA2B1 is deregulated in several tumors and facilitates tumor growth, a clear role of HNRNPA2B1 in multiple myeloma (MM) remains elusive. Herein, we analyzed the function and the regulatory mechanism of HNRNPA2B1 in MM. We found that HNRNPA2B1 was elevated in MM patients and negatively correlated with favorable prognosis. The depletion of HNRNPA2B1 in MM cells inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. On the contrary, the overexpression of HNRNPA2B1 promoted cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic studies revealed that HNRNPA2B1 recognized the m6A sites of ILF3 and enhanced the stability of ILF3 mRNA transcripts, while AKT3 downregulation by siRNA abrogated the cellular proliferation induced by HNRNPA2B1 overexpression. Additionally, the expression of HNRNPA2B1, ILF3 and AKT3 was positively associated with each other in MM tissues tested by immunohistochemistry. In summary, our study highlights that HNRNPA2B1 potentially acts as a therapeutic target of MM through regulating AKT3 expression mediated by ILF3-dependent pattern.
