Tunneling nanotubes (TnTs) are long, non-adherent, actin-based cellular
extensions that act as conduits for transport of cellular cargo between connected
cells. The mechanisms of nanotube formation and the effects of the tumor
microenvironment and cellular signals on TnT formation are unknown. In the
present study, we explored exosomes as potential mediators of TnT formation in
mesothelioma and the potential relationship of lipid rafts to TnT formation.
Mesothelioma cells co-cultured with exogenous mesothelioma-derived exosomes
formed more TnTs than cells cultured without exosomes within 24-48 h; and this
effect was most prominent in media conditions (low-serum, hyperglycemic medium)
that support TnT formation (1.3-1.9-fold difference). Fluorescence and electron
microscopy confirmed the purity of isolated exosomes and revealed that they
localized predominantly at the base of and within TnTs, in addition to the
extracellular environment. Time-lapse microscopic imaging demonstrated uptake of
tumor exosomes by TnTs, which facilitated intercellular transfer of these
exosomes between connected cells. Mesothelioma cells connected via TnTs were also
significantly enriched for lipid rafts at nearly a 2-fold higher number compared
with cells not connected by TnTs. Our findings provide supportive evidence of
exosomes as potential chemotactic stimuli for TnT formation, and also lipid raft
formation as a potential biomarker for TnT-forming cells.
