Membrane nanotubes are transient long-distance connections between cells that can facilitate intercellular communication. These tethers can form spontaneously between many cell types, including cells of the immune and nervous systems. Traffic of viral proteins, vesicles, calcium ions, mRNA, miRNA, mitochondria, lysosomes and membrane proteins/raft domains have all been reported so far via the open ended tunneling nanotubes (TNTs). Recently we reported on existence of plasma membrane derived GM/GM ganglioside enriched microvesicles and costimulatory proteins in nanotubes connecting B lymphocytes, the way they are formed and transported across TNTs, however, still remained unclear. Here, using live cell confocal and Structured Illumination (SR-SIM) superresolution imaging, we show that B cells respond to bacterial (Cholera) toxin challenge by their subsequent internalization followed by rapid formation of intracellular microvesicles (MVs). These MVs are then transported between adjacent B cells via nanotubes. Selective transport-inhibition analysis of two abundant motor proteins in these cell types demonstrated that actin-based non-muscle myosin 2A dominantly mediates intercellular MV-transport via TNTs, in contrast to the microtubule-based dynein, as shown by the unchanged transport after inhibition of the latter. As suggested by SR-SIM images of GFP-CD86 transfected macrophages, these costimulatory molecules may be transferred by unusually shaped MVs through thick TNTs connecting macrophages. In contrast, in B cell cultures the same GFP-CD86 is dominantly transported along the membrane wall of TNTs. Such intercellular molecule-exchange can consequently improve the efficiency of antigen-dependent T cell activation, especially in macrophages with weak costimulator expression and T cell activation capacity. Such improved T cell activating potential of these two cell types may result in a more efficient cellular immune response and formation of immunological memory. The results also highlight the power of superresolution microscopy to uncover so far hidden structural details of biological processes, such as microvesicle formation and transport.
