Use of Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles for Gene Delivery to Host Cells
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are nanosized membranous particles secreted from both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, can deliver various biological molecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, into recipient cells. However, contrary to what is known about eukaryotic EVs, whether ba...

description | Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are nanosized membranous particles secreted from both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, can deliver various biological molecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, into recipient cells. However, contrary to what is known about eukaryotic EVs, whether bacterial EVs (bEVs) can be used as transporters for bioactive molecules is becoming a hot area of research. In this study, we electroporated enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) genes and precursor microRNA of Cel-miR-39 (pre-Cel-miR-39) from isolated bEVs of Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus reuteri. The EGFP plasmid, synthetic EGFP RNA, and pre-Cel-miR-39 were successfully delivered into the murine microglial BV2 cells via bEVs. PCR and confocal microscopy analysis confirmed the transfer of the EGFP plasmid and RNA. The bEV-delivered exogenous pre-Cel-miR-39 was further processed into the mature form of Cel-miR-39; its incorporation into Ago2—a major component of the RNA-induced silencing complex—was assessed using RNA-immunoprecipitation–PCR. Taken together, bEVs can be used as vehicles to deliver genetic materials and for novel biotechnological applications, such as gene transfer and mRNA vaccines. |
