Macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO) is a scavenger receptor class-A protein that is expressed on the cell surface of macrophages. MARCO mediates binding and ingestion of unopsonized environmental particles, including nano-sized materials. Exosomes are cell-derived, nano-sized vesicles (40-150 nm) that can contain lipids, RNA, DNA, and various proteins. Exosomes play an essential role in cell-to-cell communication via body fluids. However, mechanisms for the recognition and internalization of exosomes by recipient cells remain poorly characterized. In this study, cellular association of serum-derived fluorescent exosomes and 20-nm fluorescent nanoparticles (positive control) was compared between MARCO-expressing (CHO-MARCO) and control (CHO-CT) CHO-K1 cells to examine whether MARCO expression by recipient cells mediates the cellular uptake of exosomes and environmental nanoparticles. Fluorescence microscopic studies and quantitative analyses revealed that the cellular associations of both exosomes and 20-nm nanoparticles were greater in CHO-MARCO cells than in CHO-CT cells. Exosomes and nanoparticles colocalized with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-MARCO in cells transfected with GFP-MARCO-encoding constructs . Furthermore, inhibitory studies showed that actin reorganization and dynamin are involved in the MARCO-mediated cellular internalization of exosomes. These results indicated that MARCO plays a role in the uptake of exosomes.
