چکیده

We describe the events surrounding the identification of the exosome complex and the subsequent early development of the field. Like many scientific discoveries, the initial identification and characterization ofthe exosome was based on a combination of skill, good fortune--and the availability of cutting edge technology.

Yeast exosome mutants accumulate 3'-extended polyadenylated forms of U4 small nuclear RNA and small nucleolar RNAs.

The exosome is a protein complex consisting of a variety of 3'-to-5' exonucleases that functions both in 3'-to-5' trimming of rRNA precursors and in 3'-to-5' degradation of mRNA. To determine additional exosome functions, we examined the processing of a variety of RNAs, including tRNAs, small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), RNase P, RNase MRP, and SRP RNAs, and 5S rRNAs i...

طراحی وکتور لنتی ویروسی pLEX-LAMP-DARPin جهت بیان دارپین هدفمند علیه HER2 در سطح اگزوزوم

Background and purpose: Exosome as drug delivery system is a novel and smart methodology enabling delivery of exosome cargo into specific tissue. This aim could be accessed by manipulation of exosome producer cells for expression of specific transmembrane-anchored ligand on exosomes surface. Accordingly, Lysosomal Associated Membrane Protein (LAMP) is one of the best choices for anchoring and c...

Application of Melastomastrum capitatum Fern. (Melastomataceae) Loaded-Exosome as Analgesic Drug Carrier in Acetic acid-Induced Swiss Albino Mice

Exosomes are nanoparticles (carriers) that play vital role in intercellular communication of cells. The present study was aimed at investigating exosomes isolated from biological fluids for their biological applications in disease treatment especially as analgesic drug carrier. Exosomes were isolated from the kidney of cattle through ultracentrifugation of blood, and characterized by inverted s...

Differential Distribution of Exosome Subunits at the Nuclear Lamina and in Cytoplasmic Foci□D □V

The exosome complex plays important roles in RNA processing and turnover. Despite significant mechanistic insight into exosome function, we still lack a basic understanding of the subcellular locales where exosome complex biogenesis and function occurs. Here, we employ a panel of Drosophila S2 stable cell lines expressing epitope-tagged exosome subunits to examine the subcellular distribution o...

Induction of heat shock proteins in B-cell exosomes.

Exosomes are nanometer-sized vesicles secreted by a diverse range of live cells that probably have physiological roles in modulating cellular immunity. The extracellular factors that regulate the quantity and phenotype of exosomes produced are poorly understood, and the properties of exosomes that dictate their immune functions are not yet clear. We investigated the effect of cellular stress on...
