Abstract

To date, there are numerous protocols for the isolation of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Depending on the isolation method, it is possible to obtain vesicles with different characteristics, enriched with specific groups of proteins, DNA and RNA, which affect similar types of cells in the opposite way. Therefore, it is important to study and compare methods of vesicle isolation. Moreover, the differences between the EVs derived from tumor and mesenchymal stem cells are still poorly understood. This article compares EVs from human glioblastoma cells and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtained by two different methods, ultracentrifugation and cytochalasin B-mediated induction. The size of the vesicles, the presence of the main EV markers, the presence of nuclear and mitochondrial components, and the molecular composition of the vesicles were determined. It has been shown that EVs obtained by both ultracentrifugation and cytochalasin B treatment have similar features, contain particles of endogenous and membrane origin and can interact with monolayer cultures of tumor cells.

Keywords: cytochalasin B; extracellular vesicles; glioblastoma; mesenchymal stem cells; tumor microenvironment; ultracentrifugation.
