Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) nematodes have provided valuable insights into the mechanisms of viral infections, host defense strategies, and the development of antiviral therapies. With the discovery of natural viral pathogens of nematodes, Orsay virus, Le Blanc virus, Santeuil virus, and Mělník virus, the exploration of the virus-host interaction model based on nematodes has entered a new era. The virus-host interaction network consists of viruses, hosts, and the antagonistic effects of viruses on host immunity. The nematode virus-host interaction model is a concrete manifestation used to study the complex relationships among these three elements. Previous studies have indicated that during the entire process of nematode infection by viruses, antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) plays a crucial role. Additionally, the host's innate immune responses, such as the antiviral-specific intracellular pathogen response (IPR) and certain signaling pathways homologous to those in humans, are particularly important in the natural immune and antiviral processes of nematodes. These processes are regulated by multiple genes in the host. The reverse genetics system for Orsay virus has been successfully developed to study viral gene function and virus-host interactions. Nematodes serve as simple host models for understanding RNA virus replication, related cellular components, and virus-host interaction mechanisms.

EVs include small EVs (s-EVs) and large EVs (l-EVs) by size. Differential ultracentrifugation (dUC) is widely used to separate EVs from biofluids, but it can precipitate large impurity particles. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a simple and fast method for analyzing the size distribution of EVs. However, this approach is nonideal for heterogeneous and polydisperse samples since a small quantity of large impurity particles can markedly disturb the DLS results. Here, we developed a simple method to improve the reliability of DLS measurements.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Plasma was obtained from 13 volunteers. The plasma was first processed by dUC to obtain crude l-EVs. The crude l-EVs were filtered with syringe filters (pore size of 1 μm and membrane material of hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)) to remove large impurity particles from l-EVs. The size distributions of the crude l-EVs and filtered l-EVs were measured via DLS.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>After the samples were filtered, the coefficients of variation of the hydrodynamic radius and Peak 1 intensity of the filtered l-EVs decreased from 20.39% (12.76-28.96%) and 20.44% (14.58-28.32%) to 3.05% (1.79-4.72%) and 3.43% (1.76-5.88%), respectively, compared with those of the crude l-EVs.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>These findings suggest that filtration can effectively separate circulating l-EVs in plasma to remove large impurity particles and make samples suitable for characterization by DLS. Our findings provide a simple method to improve precision via DLS to measure the size distribution of EVs.</p>","PeriodicalId":10820,"journal":{"name":"Current Medical Science","volume":"45 2","pages":"244-252"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143967673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
