Abstract
A critical degree of podocyte depletion causes glomerulosclerosis, and persistent podocyte loss in glomerular diseases drives the progression to end-stage kidney disease. The extent of podocyte injury at a point in time can be histologically assessed by measuring podocyte number, size, and density ("Biopsy podometrics"). However, repeated invasive renal biopsies are associated with increased risk and cost. A noninvasive method for assessing podocyte injury and depletion is required. Albuminuria and proteinuria do not always correlate with disease activity. Podocytes are located on the urinary space side of the glomerular basement membrane, and as they undergo stress or detach, their products can be identified in urine. This raises the possibility that urinary podocyte products can serve as clinically useful markers for monitoring glomerular disease activity and progression ("Urinary podometrics"). We previously reported that urinary sediment podocyte mRNA reflects disease activity in both animal models and human glomerular diseases. This includes diabetes and hypertension which together account for 60% of new-onset dialysis induction patients. Improving approaches to preventing progression is an urgent priority for the renal community. Sufficient evidence now exists to indicate that monitoring urinary podocyte markers could serve as a useful adjunctive strategy for determining the level of current disease activity and response to therapy in progressive glomerular diseases.

Abstract
Cell migration, a hallmark of cancer malignancy, plays a critical role in cancers. Improperly initiated or misdirected cell migration can lead to invasive metastatic cancer. Migrasomes are newly discovered vesicular cellular organelles produced by migrating cells and depending on cell migration. Four marker proteins [NDST1 (bifunctionalheparan sulfate N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase 1), EOGT (Epidermal growth factor domains pecific O-linked N-acetylglucosaminetransferase), CPQ (carboxypeptidase Q), and PIGK (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class K)] of migrasomes were successfully identified. There are three marker proteins (NDST1, PIGK, and EOGT) of migrasome expressed in cancer. In this review, we will discuss the process of migrasome discovery, the formation of migrasome, the possible functions of migrasome, and the differences between migrasomes and exosomes, especially, the biological functions of migrasome marker proteins in cancer, and discuss some possible roles of migrasomes in cancer. We speculate that migrasomes and migracytosis can play key roles in regulating the development of cancer.

Abstract
Migrasomes are a novel type of cell organelle that form on the retraction fibers at the rear of migrating cells. In recent years, numerous studies have unveiled the mechanisms of migrasome formation and have highlighted significant roles of migrasomes in both physiological and pathological processes. Building upon the strategies outlined in published works and our own research experiences, we have compiled a comprehensive set of protocols for observing migrasomes. These step-by-step instructions encompass various aspects such as cell culture, labeling, imaging, in vitro reconstitution, and statistical analysis. We believe that these protocols serve as a valuable resource for researchers exploring migrasome biology.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a long-term and serious complication of diabetes that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by proteinuria, glomerular damage, and renal fibrosis, leading to end-stage renal disease, and the pathogenesis is complex and involves multiple cellular and molecular mechanisms. Among three kinds of intraglomerular cells including podocytes, glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) and mesangial cells (MCs), the alterations in one cell type can produce changes in the others. The cell-to-cell crosstalk plays a crucial role in maintaining the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) and homeostasis. In this review, we summarized the recent advances in understanding the pathological changes and interactions of these three types of cells in DKD and then focused on the signaling pathways and factors that mediate the crosstalk, such as angiopoietins, vascular endothelial growth factors, transforming growth factor-β, Krüppel-like factors, retinoic acid receptor response protein 1 and exosomes, etc. Furthermore, we also simply introduce the application of the latest technologies in studying cell interactions within glomerular cells and new promising mediators for cell crosstalk in DKD. In conclusion, this review provides a comprehensive and updated overview of the glomerular crosstalk in DKD and highlights its importance for the development of novel intervention approaches.

Abstract
The migrasomes formation is mediated by the assembly of micron-scale tetraspanin macrodomains and the recruitment of tetraspanin 4 (TSPAN4). However, the physiological functions of TSPAN4 on migrasomes are less known. The TSPAN4 expression in macrophages in single-cell sequencing data, GEO datasets and TCGA database were determined. TSPAN4 expression was highly associated with atherosclerosis regression-related macrophages, intraplaque hemorrhage and ruptured plaques. TSPAN4 expression was upregulated in spontaneous MI and inducible MI mice model. Besides, TSPAN4 expression was highly correlated with tumor-associated macrophages. The study provided a critical role of TSPAN4 aberrant expression in the progression of atherosclerosis and pan-cancer, and the intervention of TSPAN4 and migrasomes may save dying patients' lives and improve their prognosis.

Abstract
The migrasome is a new organelle discovered by Professor Yu Li in 2015. When cells migrate, the membranous organelles that appear at the end of the retraction fibres are migrasomes. With the migration of cells, the retraction fibres which connect migrasomes and cells finally break. The migrasomes detach from the cell and are released into the extracellular space or directly absorbed by the recipient cell. The cytoplasmic contents are first transported to the migrasome and then released from the cell through the migrasome. This release mechanism, which depends on cell migration, is named 'migracytosis'. The main components of the migrasome are extracellular vesicles after they leave the cell, which are easy to remind people of the current hot topic of exosomes. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles wrapped by the lipid bimolecular layer. With extensive research, exosomes have solved many disease problems. This review summarizes the differences between migrasomes and exosomes in size, composition, property and function, extraction method and regulation mechanism for generation and release. At the same time, it also prospects for the current hotspot of migrasomes, hoping to provide literature support for further research on the generation and release mechanism of migrasomes and their clinical application in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute renal injury (AKI) after aortic arch reconstruction with cardiopulmonary bypass leads to injury of multiple organs and increases perioperative mortality. The study was performed to explore risk factors for AKI. We aim to develop a prediction model that can be used to accurately predict AKI through machine learning (ML). METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 134 patients with aortic arch reconstruction with cardiopulmonary bypass who were treated at our hospital from January 2002 to January 2022. Risk factors for AKI were compositive and were evaluated with comprehensive analyses. Six artificial intelligence (AI) models were used for machine learning to build prediction models and to screen out the best model to predict AKI. RESULTS Weight, eGFR, cyanosis, PDA, newborn birth and duration of renal ischemia were closely related to AKI. By integrating the results of the training cohort and validation cohort, we finally confirmed that the logistic regression model was the most stable model among all the models, and the logistic regression model showed good discrimination, calibration and clinical practicability. Based on 6 independent factors, the dynamic nomogram can be used as a predictive tool for clinical application. CONCLUSIONS DHCA could be considered in aortic arch reconstruction if additional perfusion of lower body were not performed especially when renal ischemia is greater than 30 min. Machine Learning models should be developed for early recognition of AKI. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR, ChiCTR2200060552. Registered 4 june 2022.

Abstract
Kidney transplantation (KT) is the best treatment for end-stage kidney disease. However, early diagnosis of graft injury remains challenging, mainly because of the lack of accurate and noninvasive diagnostic techniques. Improving graft outcomes is equally demanding, as is the development of innovative therapies. Many research efforts are focusing on extracellular vesicles, cellular particles free in each body fluid that have shown promising results as precise markers of damage and potential therapeutic targets in many diseases, including the renal field. In fact, through their receptors and cargo, they act in damage response and immune modulation. In transplantation, they may be used to determine organ quality and aging, the presence of delayed graft function, rejection, and many other transplant-related pathologies. Moreover, their low immunogenicity and safe profile make them ideal for drug delivery and the development of therapies to improve KT outcomes. In this review, we summarize current evidence about extracellular vesicles in KT, starting with their characteristics and major laboratory techniques for isolation and characterization. Then, we discuss their use as potential markers of damage and as therapeutic targets, discussing their promising use in clinical practice as a form of liquid biopsy.

Abstract
Migrasomes, a newly discovered organelle produced by migrating cells, are vesicles with membranous structure that form on the tips and intersections of retraction fibers (RFs). These structures are released into the extracellular environment or taken up by surrounding cells, mediating the release of cytoplasmic contents and intercellular communication. Retractosomes, a new type of small extracellular vesicles generated from broken-off RFs, are closely related to migrasomes in their physical location and origin, but were defined later. Despite their widespread existence in cells and biological organisms, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms underlying their formation and potential function. In this review, we provide an overview of the discovery, biogenesis, distribution, and functions of migrasomes and retractosomes, as well as their differences from exosomes.

Abstract
Migrasomes are newly discovered extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are formed in migrating cells and mediate intercellular communication. However, their size, biological generation, cargo packaging, transport, and effects on recipient cells by migrasomes are different from those of other EVs. In addition to mediating organ morphogenesis during zebrafish gastrulation, discarding damaged mitochondria, and lateral transport of mRNA and proteins, growing evidence has demonstrated that migrasomes mediate a variety of pathological processes. In this review, we summarize the discovery, mechanisms of formation, isolation, identification, and mediation of cellular communication in migrasomes. We discuss migrasome-mediated disease processes, such as osteoclast differentiation, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, tumor cell metastasis by PD-L1 transport, immune cell chemotaxis to the site of infection by chemokines, angiogenesis promotion via angiogenic factors by immune cells, and leukemic cells chemotaxis to the site of mesenchymal stromal cells. Moreover, as new EVs, we propose the potential of migrasomes for disease diagnosis and treatment. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Background: Atherosclerosis can impact cancer progression due to the cholesterol and calcium metabolism, illustrating the links between atherosclerosis and cancer metastasis. Tetraspanin 4 (TSPAN4) may help understand migrasomes in diseases and provide novel targets for treatment. Methods: TSPAN4 expression in atherosclerosis Gene Expression Omnibus (EO) dataset and multiple omics data were explored, such as enriched pathways analysis, protein-protein interaction analysis, immune subtypes as well as diagnostic and prognostic value in pan-cancer. The relationship between Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and TSPAN4 was further investigated. Results: Compared to control, TSPAN4 expression was upregulated in foam cells from patients with atherosclerosis and survival analysis demonstrated high TSPAN4 expression contributes to poor prognosis. TSPAN4 expression differs significantly in immune subtypes of cancers, which can be a diagnostic and prognostic target of cancers due to the high accuracy. Overall survival analysis of subgroups demonstrated that higher TSPAN4 expression had a worse prognosis and the univariate analysis and multivariate analysis demonstrated age, TSPAN4 expression, WHO grade, IDH status and histological types were independent risk factors of Glioblastoma multiforme. Conclusion: The TSPAN4 expression was associated with atherosclerosis progression and pan-cancer, especially in Glioblastoma multiforme and GBMLGG. Therefore, TSPAN4 may serve as a potential biomarker and the crosstalk between atherosclerosis and tumor progression. The results are not fully validated and further studies are still needed to validate in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
Migrasomes are organelles that are similar in structure to pomegranates, up to 3 μm in diameter, and contain small vesicles with a diameter of 50-100 nm. These membranous organelles grow at the intersections or tips of retracting fibers at the back of migrating cells. The process by which cells release migrasomes and their contents outside the cell is called migracytosis. The signal molecules are packaged in the migrasomes and released to the designated location by migrasomes to activate the surrounding cells. Finally, the migrasomes complete the entire process of information transmission. In this sense, migrasomes integrate time, space, and specific chemical information, which are essential for regulating physiological processes such as embryonic development and tumor invasion and migration. In this review, the current research progress of migrasomes, including the discovery of migrasomes and migracytosis, the structure of migrasomes, and the distribution and functions of migrasomes is discussed. The migratory marker protein TSPAN4 is highly expressed in various cancers and is associated with cancer invasion and migration. Therefore, there is still much research space for the pathogenesis of migratory bodies and cancer. This review also makes bold predictions and prospects for the research directions of the combination of migrasomes and clinical applications.

Abstract
The migrasome is a newly discovered organelle produced by migrating cells. As cells migrate, long and thin retraction fibers are left in their wake. On these fibers, we discovered the production of a pomegranate-like structure, which we named migrasomes. The production of migrasomes is highly correlated with the migration of cells. Currently, it has been demonstrated the migrasomes exhibit three modes of action: release of signaling molecules through rupturing or leaking, carriers of damaged mitochondria, and lateral transfer of mRNA or proteins. In this review, we would like to discuss, in detail, the functions, mechanisms, and potential applications of this newly discovered cell organelle.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lupus nephritis (LN) is the main complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), causing huge financial burden and poor quality of life. Due to the low compliance of renal biopsy, we aim to find a non-invasive biomarker of LN to optimize its predictive, preventive, and personalized medical service or management. METHOD Herein, we provided a bioinformatic screen combined clinical validation strategy for rapidly mining exosomal miRNAs for LN diagnosis and management. We screened out differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs) in LN database and performed a miRNA-mRNA integrated analysis to select out reliable changed miRNAs in LN tissues by using R and Cytoscape. Urinary exosomes were collected by ultracentrifugation and analyzed by nano-tracking analysis and western blotting. Detection of aquaporin-2 showed the tubular source of urinary exosomes. Urinary exosomal miRNAs were detected by RT-qPCR and the target of miR-195-5p was verified by using bioinformatic, dual-luciferase, and western blotting. RESULT 15 miRNAs and their 60 target mRNAs were contained in miRNA-mRNA integrated map. Bioinformatic analysis showed these miRNAs were involved in various cellular biological process. Exosomal miR-195-5p, miR-25-3p, miR-429, and miR-218-5p were verified in a small clinical group (n = 47). Urinary exosomal miR-195-5p, miR-25-3p, and miR-429 were downregulated in patients and miR-195-5p could recognize LN patients from SLE with good sensitivity and specificity, showing good potential in LN disease monitoring and diagnosis. CONCLUSION We analyzed and obtained a series of differential miRNAs in LN kidney tissues and suggested that urinary exosomal miR-195-5p could serve as a novel biomarker in LN. Further, miR-195-5p-CXCL10 axis could be a therapeutic target of LN.

Abstract
Migrasomes, released by migrating cells, belong to the heterogeneous world of extracellular vesicles (EVs). However, they can be distinguished from all other members of EVs by their size, biorigin and protein cargo. As far as we know, they can play important roles in various communication processes, by mediating the release of signals, such as mRNAs, proteins or damaged mitochondria. To extend and better understand the functional roles and importance of migrasomes, it is first essential to well understand the basic molecular mechanisms behind their formation and function. Herein, we endeavor to provide a brief and up-to-date description of migrasome biogenesis, release, characterization, biological properties and functional activities in cell-to-cell communication, and we will discuss and propose putative new functions for these vesicles.

Abstract
Migrasomes are migration-dependent membrane-bound vesicular structures that contain cellular contents and small vesicles. Migrasomes grow on the tips or intersections of the retraction fibers after cells migrate away. The process of releasing migrasomes into the extracellular space is named as “migracytosis”. After releasing, they can be taken up by the surrounding cells, or rupture and further release their contents into the extracellular environment. Physiologically, migrasomes provide regional cues for organ morphogenesis during zebrafish gastrulation and discard the damaged mitochondria in response to mild mitochondrial stresses. Pathologically, migrasomes are released from podocyte during early podocyte stress and/or damage, from platelets after infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), from microglia/macrophages of the ischemic brain, and from tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-activated endothelial cells (ECs); thus, this newly discovered extracellular vesicle is involved in all these pathological processes. Moreover, migrasomes can modulate the proliferation of cancer cell via lateral transferring mRNA and protein. In this review, we will summarize the biogenesis, release, uptake, and rupture of migrasomes and discuss its biological roles in development, redox signalling, innate immunity and COVID-19, cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, renal diseases, and cancer biology, all of these highlight the importance of migrasomes in modulating body homeostasis and diseases.

Abstract
Fibrosis is a physiological process of tissue repair that turns into pathological when becomes chronic, damaging the functional structure of the tissue. In this review we outline the current status of extracellular vesicles as modulators of the fibrotic process at different levels. In adipose tissue, extracellular vesicles mediate the intercellular communication not only between adipocytes, but also between adipocytes and other cells of the stromal vascular fraction. Thus, they could be altering essential processes for the functionality of adipose tissue, such as adipocyte hypertrophy/hyperplasia, tissue plasticity, adipogenesis and/or inflammation, and ultimately trigger fibrosis. This process is particularly important in obesity, and may eventually, influence the development of obesity-associated alterations. In this regard, obesity is now recognized as an independent risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease, although the role of extracellular vesicles in this connection has not been explored so far. Nonetheless, the role of extracellular vesicles in the onset and progression of renal fibrosis has been highlighted due to the critical role of fibrosis as a common feature of kidney diseases. In fact, the content of extracellular vesicles disturbs cellular signaling cascades involved in fibrosis in virtually all types of renal cells. What is certain is that the study of extracellular vesicles is complex, as their isolation and manipulation is still difficult to reproduce, which complicates the overview of their physiopathological effects. Nevertheless, new strategies have been developed to exploit the potential of extracellular vesicles and their cargo, both as biomarkers and as therapeutic tools to prevent the progression of fibrosis towards an irreversible event.

Abstract
The migrasome is a newly discovered organelle of migrating cells. Migrasomes play diverse physiological roles including mitochondrial quality control, lateral transfer of material between cells, and delivery of signaling molecules to spatially defined locations. The formation of migrasomes is dependent on tetraspanins, a group of membrane proteins containing four transmembrane domains, which form membrane microdomains named tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TEMs). In this review, we will discuss the mechanisms for migrasome biogenesis, with a focus on the role of TEMs and the organizing principles underlying the formation of TEMs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imerslund-Gräsbeck Syndrome (IGS) is mainly caused by CUBN gene biallelic mutations. Proteinuria accompanies IGS specific symptoms in about half of the patients, isolated proteinuria is rarely reported. Here we present 3 patients with isolated proteinuria and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) caused by CUBN gene biallelic pathogenic variants. METHOD Whole exome sequencing was performed on three children with isolated proteinuria. CUBN gene biallelic pathogenic variants were found and then verified by sanger sequencing. Their clinical, pathological and molecular genetic characteristics were analyzed and correlated accordingly. RESULTS All three children presented with isolated proteinuria, no megaloblastic anemia. Their urine levels of β2 microglobulin were normal or slightly higher. Renal biopsies showed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with mild glomerular mesangial hypercellularity, partial effacement of foot processes and podocyte microvillation. Two of them were found to carry compound heterozygous mutations and one homozygous mutation of CUBN gene. Totally four CUBN gene biallelic pathogenic variants were identified, including c.9287 T > C (p.L3096P), c.122 + 1G > A, c.7906C > T (p.R2636*), c.10233G > A (p.W3411*). Except for intron splice-site mutation, all other variants are located in highly conserved sites of CUB domain for binding to albumin. CONCLUSION The results demonstrate that CUBN gene mutations may cause isolated proteinuria pathologically presented as FSGS. Our cases extend the spectrum of renal manifestation and genotype of CUBN gene mutations.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-to-cell communication tools. Migrasomes are recently discovered microscale EVs formed at the rear ends of migrating cells, and thus are suggested to be involved in communicating with neighboring cells. In cell culture, peptide scaffolds on substrates have been used to demonstrate cellular function for regenerative medicine. In this study, we evaluated peptide scaffolds, including cell penetrating, virus fusion, and integrin-binding peptides, for their potential to enable the formation of migrasome-like vesicles. Through structural and functional analyses, we confirmed that the EVs formed on these peptide-modified substrates were migrasomes. We further noted that the peptide interface comprising cell-penetrating peptides (pVEC and R9) and virus fusion peptide (SIV) have superior properties for enabling cell migration and migrasome formation than fibronectin protein, integrin-binding peptide (RGD), or bare substrate. This is the first report of migrasome formation on peptide-modified substrates. Additionally, the combination of 95% RGD and 5% pVEC peptides provided a functional interface for effective migrasome formation and desorption of cells from the substrate via a simple ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid treatment. These results provide a functional substrate for the enhancement of migrasome formation and functional analysis.

Abstract
Podocytes, highly specified kidney epithelial cells, live under several pathological stimuli and stresses during which they adapt themselves to keep homeostasis. Nevertheless, under extreme stress, a complex scenario of podocyte damage and its consequences occur. Podocyte damage causes foot process effacement and their detachment from the glomerular basement membrane, leading to proteinuria. Podocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (pEVs), mainly microparticles and exosomes are considered as signaling mediators of intercellular communication. Recently, it has been shown that throughout the injury-related migration procedure, podocytes are capable of releasing the injury-related migrasomes. Evidence indicates that at the early stages of glomerular disorders, increased levels of pEVs are observed in urine. At the early stage of nephropathy, pEVs especially migrasomes seem to be more sensitive and reliable indicators of podocyte stress and/or damage than proteinuria. This review highlights the current knowledge of pEVs and their values for the diagnosis of different kidney diseases.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:10499. [PMID: 34638835 PMCID: PMC8508981 DOI: 10.3390/ijms221910499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Revised: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles that transmit molecules from releasing cells to target cells. Recent studies link urinary EVs (uEV) to diverse processes such as infection and rejection after kidney transplantation. This, and the unmet need for biomarkers diagnosing kidney transplant dysfunction, has led to the current high level of interest in uEV. uEV provide non-intrusive access to local protein, DNA, and RNA analytics without invasive biopsy. To determine the added value of uEV measurements for detecting allograft dysfunction after kidney transplantation, we systematically included all related literature containing directly relevant information, with the addition of indirect evidence regarding urine or kidney injury without transplantation. According to their varying characteristics, uEV markers after transplantation could be categorized into kidney-specific, donor-specific, and immune response-related (IR-) markers. A few convincing studies have shown that kidney-specific markers (PODXL, ion cotransporters, SYT17, NGAL, and CD133) and IR-markers (CD3, multi-mRNA signatures, and viral miRNA) could diagnose rejection, BK virus-associated nephropathy, and calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity after kidney transplantation. In addition, some indirect proof regarding donor-specific markers (donor-derived cell-free DNA) in urine has been demonstrated. Together, this literature review provides directions for exploring novel uEV markers' profiling complications after kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Microparticles are a general term for different types of cell plasma membrane-originated vesicles that are released into the extracellular environment. The paracrine action of these nano-sized vesicles is crucial for intercellular communications through the transfer of diverse lipids, cytosolic proteins, RNA as well as microRNAs. The progression of different diseases influences the composition, occurrence, and functions of these cell-derived particles. Podocyte injury has been shown to have an important role in the pathophysiology of many glomerular diseases including IgA nephropathy (IgAN). This review would focus on the possible potential of podocyte-derived microparticles detected in urine to be used as a diagnostic tool in IgAN.
