Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-released nanoparticles that transfer biomolecular content between cells. Among EV-associated biomolecules, microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) represent one of the most important modulators of signaling pathways in recipient cells. Previous studies have shown that EVs from adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and adipose tissue modulate inflammatory pathways in macrophages. In this study, the effects of miRNAs that are abundant in adipose tissue EVs and other biogenic nanoparticles (BiNPs) were assessed in terms of altering Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-induced cytokines. TLR-4 signaling in macrophages is often triggered by pathogen or damage-induced inflammation and is associated with several diseases. This study demonstrates that miR-451a, which is abundant in adipose tissue BiNPs, suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines and increases anti-inflammatory cytokines associated with the TLR4 pathway. Therefore, miR-451a may be partially responsible for immunomodulatory effects of adipose tissue-derived BiNPs.

Objectives: Synovial fluids of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients commonly contain high concentrations of soluble CD14 (sCD14). To investigate its potential role in RA pathogenesis, we tested whether sCD14 binding transmits a signal to fibroblast-like synoviocytes from RA patients (RA-FLS). Methods: The induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and mediators by sCD14 stimulation of RA-FLS was quantified by real-time PCR and ELISA. Cell proliferation was assessed by the BrdU assay. LPS-RS, a Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) antagonist, was used to block TLR-4 signaling. Results: Soluble CD14 induced the expression of IL-6 mRNA and secretion of the protein. The expression of other pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators, such as TNF-α, IL-8, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), MMP-3, and RANK ligand (RANKL), was also induced by sCD14. In addition, sCD14 stimulation promoted RA-FLS proliferation. LPS-RS abolished IL-6, IL-8, and ICAM-1 mRNA induction by sCD14 in RA-FLS. On the other hand, TNF-α and IL-17A increased TLR-4 expression by RA-FLS and amplified their sCD14-induced IL-6 expression. Conclusions: Soluble CD14 transmits inflammatory signals to RA-FLS via TLR-4. The effects of sCD14 may be augmented in inflammatory milieu. Our results suggest that sCD14 is involved in the pathogenesis of RA and may be a novel therapeutic target.

Among the virulence factors in Neisseria infections, a major inducer of inflammatory cytokines is the lipooligosaccharide (LOS). The activation of NF-κB via extracellular binding of LOS or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to the toll-like receptor 4 and its coreceptor, MD-2, results in production of pro-inflammatory cytokines that initiate adaptive immune responses. LOS can also be absorbed by cells and activate intracellular inflammasomes, causing the release of inflammatory cytokines and pyroptosis. Studies of LOS and LPS have shown that their inflammatory potential is highly dependent on lipid A phosphorylation and acylation, but little is known on the location and pattern of these posttranslational modifications. Herein, we report on the localization of phosphoryl groups on phosphorylated meningococcal lipid A, which has two to three phosphate and zero to two phosphoethanolamine substituents. Intact LOS with symmetrical hexa-acylated and asymmetrical penta-acylated lipid A moieties was subjected to high-resolution ion mobility spectrometry MALDI-TOF MS. LOS molecular ions readily underwent in-source decay to give fragments of the oligosaccharide and lipid A formed by cleavage of the ketosidic linkage, which enabled performing MS/MS (pseudo-MS3). The resulting spectra revealed several patterns of phosphoryl substitution on lipid A, with certain species predominating. The extent of phosphoryl substitution, particularly phosphoethanolaminylation, on the 4′-hydroxyl was greater than that on the 1-hydroxyl. The heretofore unrecognized phosphorylation patterns of lipid A of meningococcal LOS that we detected are likely determinants of both pathogenicity and the ability of the bacteria to evade the innate immune system.
