Urinary extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising source for developing diagnostic markers for bladder cancer because of the direct contact between urine and bladder. This study pioneers urinary EV N-glycomics for bladder cancer diagnosis. We have generated a comprehensive N-glycome landscape of urinary EVs through high-throughput N-glycome analysis, identifying a total of 252 N-glycans from 333 individuals. In bladder cancer patients, urinary EVs exhibit decreased fucosylation and increased sialylation level. An Eight N-glycan diagnostic model demonstrates strong performance in both validation cohorts, achieving ROC AUC values of 0.88 and 0.86, respectively. Furthermore, this model successfully differentiates both non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) from healthy individuals, underscoring the model’s superiority. Moreover, urinary EVs N-glycoproteomic analysis reveals that the glycoproteins carrying cancer-associated N-glycan signatures are closely associated with immune activities. The N-glycome comparative analysis of EVs and their source cells indicate that the glycosylation profiles of EVs do not completely match the glycosylation backgrounds of their source cells. In summary, our study establishes urinary EV N-glycomics as a non-invasive BC screening tool and provide a framework for EV glycan biomarker discovery across cancers.</p>","PeriodicalId":19066,"journal":{"name":"Nature Communications","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143569366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Observations also point to a solution: transparent communication of benevolent intent. Building on this, a pre-registered field experiment (<i>N</i> = 232) finds that community members feel less threatened and report greater trust when officers use a brief transparency statement (e.g., “I’m walking around trying to get to know the community”). These findings are supported by exploratory natural language processing and sympathetic nervous system measures.

Subsequently, cracking and spallation occur preferentially between the sulfur-rich layer and alumina scale due to the weak bonding between sulfur and alumina atoms.

Does this apparent discrepancy suggest the uniqueness about different growth environments or the role of additional confounding factors? If so, what could be the major determinant in antibiotic-mediated community restructuring? Combining modeling and quantitative measurements using a barcoded heterogeneous <i>E. coli</i> library, we show that the outcome of antibiotic-mediated community restructuring can be driven by two major factors.
