Exosomes are 30-120 nm-sized membrane vesicles of endocytic origin that are released into the extracellular environment and play roles in cell cell communication. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are important constituents of the tumor microenvironment; thus, it is critical to study the features and complex biological functions of TAM-derived exosomes. Here, we constructed a TAM cell model from a mouse macrophage cell line, Ana-1, and performed comparative proteomics on exosomes, exosome-free media, and cells between TAMs and Ana-1. Proteomic analysis between exosome and exosome-free fractions indicated that the functions of exosome dominant proteins were mainly enriched in RNA processing and proteolysis. TAM status dramatically affected the abundances of 20S proteasome subunits and ribosomal proteins in their exosomes. The 20S proteasome activity assay strongly indicated that TAM exosomes possessed higher proteolytic activity. In addition, Ana-1- and TAM-derived exosomes have different RNA profiles, which may result from differential RNA processing proteins. Taken together, our comprehensive proteomics study provides novel views for understanding the complicated roles of macrophage-derived exosomes in the tumor microenvironment.
