Functional Advantages of Porphyromonas gingivalis Vesicles
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a keystone pathogen of periodontitis. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) have been considered as both offense and defense components of this bacterium. Previous studies indicated that like their originating cells, P. gingivalis vesicles, are able to invade oral epithelial cells and gingival fibroblasts, in order to promote aggregation of some specific oral bacteria and t...
متن کاملExtracellular membrane vesicles as a mechanism of cell-to-cell communication: advantages and disadvantages.
Microvesicles represent a newly identified mechanism of intercellular communication. Two different types of microvesicles have been identified: membrane-derived vesicles (EVs) and exosomes. EVs originate by direct budding from the plasma membrane, while exosomes arise from ectocytosis of multivesicular bodies. Recent attention has focused on the capacity of EVs to alter the phenotype of neighbo...
متن کاملProkaryotic membrane vesicles: new insights on biogenesis and biological roles.
Biogenesis and trafficking of membrane vesicles are essential and well-studied processes in eukaryotes. In contrast, vesiculation in bacteria is not well understood. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are produced in Gram-negative bacteria by blebbing of the outer membrane. In addition to the roles in pathogenesis, cell-to-cell communication and stress response, recent work has suggested that OMVs ...
متن کاملFocus on Extracellular Vesicles: Physiological Role and Signalling Properties of Extracellular Membrane Vesicles
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous population of secreted membrane vesicles, with distinct biogenesis routes, biophysical properties and different functions both in physiological conditions and in disease. The release of EVs is a widespread biological process, which is conserved across species. In recent years, numerous studies have demonstrated that several bioactive molecules ar...
متن کاملNeuroimmune signaling by extracellular vesicles
Systemic inflammation has a strong impact on brain function and contributes to the immediate and long-term development of various pathologies. The classic view is that a systemic inflammation influences the brain via the release of inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-1ß, IL6, TNFα), which in turn activate microglia directly or via endothelial cells but may also act on neurons. As a neural mechanism...
