    Abstract Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is currently the only method that enables the observation of extracellular vesicles (EVs) at a nanometer scale. Direct visualization of the whole content of EV preparation provides not only crucial insights on the morphology of EVs but also an objective evaluation of the content and purity of the preparation. Coupled to immunogold labeling, TEM allows the detection and association of proteins at the surface of EVs. In these techniques, EVs are deposited on grids and are chemically immobilized and contrasted to withstand a high-voltage electron beam. Under high vacuum, the electron beam hits the sample and the electrons that scatter forward are collected to form an image. Here, we describe the steps needed to observe EVs by classical TEM and the extra steps required to label proteins through immunolabeling electron microscopy (IEM).

    Abstract Extracellular vesicles are now considered as active contributors to melanoma progression through their capacity to modify the tumor microenvironment and to favor the formation of a pre-metastatic niche. These prometastatic roles of tumor-derived EVs would pass through their interaction with the extracellular matrix (ECM) and its remodeling, in turn providing a substrate favoring persistent tumor cell migration. Nevertheless, the capacity of EVs to directly interact with ECM components is still questionable. In this study, we use electron microscopy and a pull-down assay to test the capacity of sEVs, derived from different melanoma cell lines, to physically interact with collagen I. We were able to generate collagen fibrils coated with sEVs and to show that melanoma cells release subpopulations of sEVs that can differentially interact with collagen.

    Abstract Extracellular vesicles mediate transfer of diverse molecular content to target cells in order to induce phenotypic changes, which has put them under the spotlight as likely major players in cell-to-cell communication. However, extracellular vesicle heterogeneity in terms of intracellular origin has only recently been recognized as a potential determinant of their activity. Recent work by Fan et al (2020) illustrates how lack of external resources that affect cellular homeostasis and signaling can also modulate EV biogenesis, by inducing the production of a novel subpopulation of exosomes enriched in Rab11a with context-dependent roles in Drosophila gland physiology and cancer cell aggressiveness.

    Title translation In vivo imaging: An essential tool to better understand the biology of extracellular vesicles.
    Abstract Extracellular vesicles are involved in an increasing number of physiopathological processes and represent promising clinical tools for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Their small size has long hindered in situ studies, which has limited their in vivo characterization and clinical use. Imaging approaches now allow the monitoring of extracellular vesicles in different animal models, in real time and at the single vesicle scale. The zebrafish appears in particular to be a relevant model organism to explore the biology of extracellular vesicles in vivo and to evaluate their therapeutic potential in preclinical studies.

    Abstract Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) are released during various pathophysiological processes and reflect the state of their cell of origin. Once released, they can propagate through biological fluids, target cells, deliver their content and elicit functional responses. These specific features would allow their harnessing as biomarkers, drug nano-vehicles and therapeutic intrinsic modulators. However, the further development of their potential therapeutic application is hampered by the lack of knowledge about how EVs behave in vivo. Recent advances in the field of imaging EVs in vivo now allow live-tracking of endogenous and exogenous EV in various model organisms at high spatiotemporal resolution to define their distribution, half-life and fate. This review highlights current imaging tools available to image EVs in vivo and how live imaging especially in the zebrafish embryo can bring further insights into the characterization of EVs dynamics, biodistribution and functions to potentiate their development for therapeutic applications.

    Abstract To harmoniously coordinate the activities of all its different cell types, a multicellular organism critically depends on intercellular communication. One recently discovered mode of intercellular cross-talk is based on the exchange of "extracellular vesicles" (EVs). EVs are nano-sized heterogeneous lipid bilayer vesicles enriched in a variety of biomolecules that mediate short- and long-distance communication between different cells, and between cells and their environment. Numerous studies have demonstrated important aspects pertaining to the dynamics of their release, their uptake, and sub-cellular fate and roles in vitro. However, to demonstrate these and other aspects of EV biology in a relevant, fully physiological context in vivo remains challenging. In this review we analyze the state of the art of EV imaging in vivo, focusing in particular on zebrafish as a promising model to visualize, study, and characterize endogenous EVs in real-time and expand our understanding of EV biology at cellular and systems level.

    Abstract In Alzheimer's disease (AD), endolysosomal dysfunctions are amongst the earliest cellular features to appear. Each organelle of the endolysosomal system, from the multivesicular body (MVB) to the lysosome, contributes to the homeostasis of amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleavage products including β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides. Hence, this review will attempt to disentangle how changes in the endolysosomal system cumulate to the generation of toxic amyloid species and hamper their degradation. We highlight that the formation of MVBs and the generation of amyloid species are closely linked and describe how the molecular machineries acting at MVBs determine the generation and sorting of APP cleavage products towards their degradation or release in association with exosomes. In particular, we will focus on AD-related distortions of the endolysomal system that divert it from its degradative function to favour the release of exosomes and associated amyloid species. We propose here that such an imbalance transposed at the brain scale poses a novel concept of transmissible endosomal intoxication (TEI). This TEI would initiate a self-perpetuating transmission of endosomal dysfunction between cells that would support the propagation of amyloid species in neurodegenerative diseases.

    Abstract The release of extracellular vesicles such as exosomes provides an attractive intercellular communication pathway. Exosomes are 30- to 150-nm membrane vesicles that are generated in endosomal compartment and act as intercellular mediators in both physiological and pathological context. Despite the growing interest in exosome functions, the mechanisms responsible for their biogenesis and secretion are still not completely understood. Knowledge about these mechanisms is important because they control the composition, and hence the function and secretion, of exosomes. Exosomes are produced as intraluminal vesicles in extremely dynamic endosomal organelles, which undergo various maturation processes in order to form multivesicular endosomes. Notably, the function of multivesicular endosomes is balanced between exosome secretion and lysosomal degradation. In the present review, we present and discuss each intracellular trafficking pathway that has been reported or proposed as regulating exosome biogenesis, with a particular focus on the importance of endosomal dynamics in sorting out cargo proteins to exosomes and to the secretion of multivesicular endosomes. An overall picture reveals several key mechanisms, which mainly act at the crossroads of endosomal pathways as regulatory checkpoints of exosome biogenesis.
