Mitogenic activity of bone marrow-derived mouse mast cells and mast
cell lines P815 and MC/9 on B and T lymphocytes is present in their
culture supernatants. To identify this activity, mast cells were
incubated in serum-free medium and the supernatant was subjected to
differential centrifugation, which resulted in two fractions, the
hypodense and dense fraction (pellet). When analyzed for their
mitogenic activity on spleen cells, all activity was found to be
associated with the dense fraction. Electron microscopy studies
revealed the presence in this fraction of small vesicles called
exosomes with a heterogeneous size from 60 to 100 nm of diameter. When
cocultured with spleen cells, purified exosomes induced blast
formation, proliferation, as well as IL-2 and IFN-
production, but
no detectable IL-4. Similar data were obtained by injecting exosomes
into naive mice. In contrast to mast cell lines, a pretreatment with
IL-4 is required for bone marrow-derived mast cells to secrete active
exosomes. Structurally, exosomes were found to harbor immunologically
relevant molecules such as MHC class II, CD86, LFA-1, and ICAM-1. These
findings indicate that mast cells can represent a critical component of
the immunoregulatory network through secreted exosomes that display
mitogenic activity on B and T lymphocytes both in vitro and in
vivo.
