Popis: The mechanisms by which exosomes (nano-vesicular messengers of cells) are taken up by recipient cells are poorly understood. We hypothesized that histones associated with these nano-particles are the ligands which facilitate their interaction with cell surface syndecan-4 (SDC4) to mediate their uptake. We show that the incubation with fetuin-A (exosome-associated proteins) and histones mediates the uptake of exosomes that are normally not endocytosed. Similarly, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles incubated with fetuin-A and histones (FNH) are internalized by tumor cells, while nanoparticles incubated with fetuin-A alone (FN) are not. The uptake of exosomes and FNH, both of which move to the perinuclear region of the cell, is attenuated in SDC4-knockdown cells. Data show that FNH can compete with exosomes for uptake and that both use SDC4 as uptake receptors.
