Selective packaged circular RNAs in milk extracellular vesicles during Staphylococcus aureus infection may have potential against bacterial infection

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) provide a novel intercellular communication mechanism to transfer biologically important molecules to target cells. Although several pieces of evidence have shown that EVs have potential to respond to bacterial infections, our knowledge about the role of circular RNA (circRNA), an important cargo of EV, behind this process remains poor. In particular, the mechanism by which circRNAs are packaged into EVs remains elusive during bacterial infection. In the present study, EVs from bovine milk samples with or without Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection were isolated. The presence of circRNAs in milk-derived EVs (MEVs) was validated for the first time by PCR amplification with convergent and divergent primers and the RNase R resistance test. Through high-throughput sequencing, the expression profile of circRNAs in EVs was found to be changed during S. aureus infection. Moreover, we demonstrated that circRNAs were selectively packaged into EVs. Finally, bioinformatic analyses predicted the involvement of differentially expressed circRNAs in immune functions. In summary, our findings offer an insight into the packaging mechanism of EV circRNAs and underscore the potential by which host used the EV circRNAs in response to pathogenic bacterial infections.
