Abstract

Small extracellular vesicles and nanoparticles (sEVPs) are cell-secreted entities with potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic vehicles. However, significant intrinsic sEVP heterogeneity impedes analysis and understanding of their composition and functions. We employ multidimensional fluorescent labelling on sEVPs, leveraging the robustness of a newly developed membrane probe—conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs), and conduct total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy on sEVP arrays. These arrays comprise single sEVPs anchored to a soft material functionalized surface with little bias. We then develop an enhanced algorithm for colocalization analysis of the multiple labels on individual sEVPs and perform deep profiling of particle content. We categorize sEVPs derived from the same cell type into seven distinct subpopulations—some vesicular whereas others non-vesicular, and we demonstrate that sEVPs from four cell types exhibit quantitatively distinguishable subpopulation distributions. Furthermore, we gain insights into specific particle features within each subpopulation, including CD63 counts, relative particle size, relative concentration of cargoes, and correlations among different cargoes. This high-content analysis reveals common cargo sorting features in sEVP subpopulations across different cell types and suggests new statistics within the sEVP inherent heterogeneity that could differentiate sEVPs from two types of cancer cells and two types of normal cells. Collectively, our study presents a robust single-sEVP characterization platform, combining high-content imaging with comprehensive analysis. This platform is poised to advance sEVP-based theranostic assays and facilitate exploration into disease-associated sEVP biogenesis and sEVP-mediated intercellular communication.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Extracellular Vesicles is an open access research publication that focuses on extracellular vesicles, including microvesicles, exosomes, ectosomes, and apoptotic bodies. It serves as the official journal of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles and aims to facilitate the exchange of data, ideas, and information pertaining to the chemistry, biology, and applications of extracellular vesicles. The journal covers various aspects such as the cellular and molecular mechanisms of extracellular vesicles biogenesis, technological advancements in their isolation, quantification, and characterization, the role and function of extracellular vesicles in biology, stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles and their biology, as well as the application of extracellular vesicles for pharmacological, immunological, or genetic therapies. The Journal of Extracellular Vesicles is widely recognized and indexed by numerous services, including Biological Abstracts, BIOSIS Previews, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), Current Contents/Life Sciences, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, Google Scholar, ProQuest Natural Science Collection, ProQuest SciTech Collection, SciTech Premium Collection, PubMed Central/PubMed, Science Citation Index Expanded, ScienceOpen, and Scopus.
