Abstract

Introduction: Brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs) can cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the periphery. Therefore, quantifying and analyzing peripherally circulating BDEVs offer a promising approach to directly obtain a window into central nervous system (CNS) pathobiology in vivo. Rapidly evolving CNS diseases require high-frequency sampling, but daily venipuncture of human subjects is highly invasive and usually unfeasible.

Methods: To address this challenge, here we present a novel method for isolating astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles from urine (uADEVs), combining urine concentration, ultracentrifugation to isolate total EVs, and then glutamate-aspartate transporter (GLAST) EV isolation using an anti-GLAST antibody.

Results: The identity of these GLAST+EVs as uADEVs was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, western blotting, and assessment of astrocyte-related neurotrophins.

Conclusions: Leveraging the convenience and availability of urine samples, the non-invasive uADEV approach provides a novel tool that allows high-frequency sampling to investigate rapidly evolving CNS diseases.

从尿液中分离星形胶质细胞衍生的细胞外囊泡

脑源性细胞外囊泡（Brain-derived extracellular vesicles, BDEVs）可以穿过血脑屏障进入外周。因此，量化和分析外周循环BDEVs为直接获得体内中枢神经系统（CNS）病理生物学窗口提供了一种有希望的方法。快速发展的中枢神经系统疾病需要高频采样，但每天对人类受试者进行静脉穿刺是高度侵入性的，通常是不可行的。方法：为了解决这一挑战，我们提出了一种从尿液中分离星形胶质细胞来源的细胞外囊泡（uADEVs）的新方法，结合尿液浓度、超离心分离总EV，然后使用抗GLAST抗体分离谷氨酸-天冬氨酸转运体（GLAST） EV。结果：通过透射电镜、纳米颗粒跟踪分析、免疫印迹和星形胶质细胞相关神经营养因子的评估，证实了这些GLAST+ ev为uADEVs。结论：利用尿液样本的便利性和可用性，无创uADEV方法提供了一种新颖的工具，允许高频采样来调查快速发展的中枢神经系统疾病。
