[Correlation between low expression of Hsp90 protein in keratinocytes and the number of small extracellular vesicles and its potential clinical significance]

Purpose: To investigate the correlation between the level of heat shock protein 90(Hsp90) and the amount of small extracellular vesicles(sEVs) in keratinocytes.

Methods: Human keratinocytes(HaCaT) were cultured in vivo and divided into wild-type group, short hairpin RNA interference group (shRNA group, low expression of Hsp90), and 17-Allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin group (17-AAG group, Hsp90 protein inhibitor). sEVs were isolated from culture system by ultracentrifugation, and their morphological characteristics were observed under transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Western blotting was applied to identify the biological characteristics of sEVs. The number of sEVs particles was detected by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). GraphPad Prism8.0 software was used to analyze the difference in the number of sEVs among the groups by t test (non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test).

Results: HaCaT-derived sEVs, obtained by ultracentrifugation, were consistent with the criteria of morphological and biological identification. No expression of Hsp90 protein was detected in HaCaT-derived sEVs. When interfered with Hsp90-shRNA, the number of sEVs were significantly increased. On day 5, the sEVs number of shRNA-interfering group was (177.4±4.18)×108(n=3), while that of vector group was (82.34±4.83)×108(n=3), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.0001). After 5 days of inhibition with 17-AAG, the sEVs number of 17-AAG group was (652.5±26.73)×108(n=3) and that of control group was (262.22±5.44)×108(n=3), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.000 1).
