Beyond the Extracellular Vesicles: Technical Hurdles, Achieved Goals and Current Challenges When Working on Adipose Cells

Abstract: Adipose tissue and its crosstalk with other organs plays an essential role in the metabolic homeostasis of the entire body. Alteration of this communication (i.e., due to obesity) is related to the development of several comorbidities including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, or cancer. Within the adipose depot, adipocytes are the main cell type and thus the main source of secreted molecules, which exert modulating effects not only at a local but also at a systemic level. Extracellular vesicles (EVs)… Show more

“…Ultracentrifugation is considered the gold standard for exosome isolation, and is based on the separation of the different components of the sample (cell media or bodily fluid) according to their density [288]. This is a two-step method.…”

“…Standardized methodological approaches to isolate and characterize EVs from adipose cells as well as from any other sources are still lacking [39]. Taking this limit into account, a variety of nucleic acids and proteins have been identified in ASC-derived EVs as important mediators of the paracrine function of ASCs [40].…”

“…It is important to highlight that future studies should analyze both the genetic content and bioactive proteins, to more accurately understand their role in the regulation of metabolism [ 25 ]. Other authors also highlight the need to standardize procedures for the study of ADEVs to avoid misinterpretations [ 107 ].…”
