Efficient enzyme-free isolation of brain-derived extracellular vesicles
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained significant attention as pathology mediators and potential diagnostic tools for neurodegenerative diseases. However, isolation of brain-derived EVs (BDEVs) from tissue remains challenging, often involving enzymatic digestion steps that may compromise the integrity of EV proteins and overall functionality. Here, we describe that collagenase digestion, commonly used for BDEV isolation, produces undesired protein cleavage of EV-associated proteins in brain tissue homogenates and cell-derived EVs. In order to avoid this effect, we studied the possibility of isolating BDEVs with a reduced amount of collagenase or without any protease. Characterization of the isolated BDEVs from mouse and human samples (both female and male) revealed their characteristic morphology and size distribution with both approaches. However, we show that even minor enzymatic digestion induces ‘artificial’ proteolytic processing in key BDEV markers, such as Flotillin-1, CD81, and the cellular prion protein (PrPC), whereas avoiding enzymatic treatment completely preserves their integrity. We found no major differences in mRNA and protein content between non-enzymatically and enzymatically isolated BDEVs, suggesting that the same BDEV populations are purified with both approaches. Intriguingly, the lack of Golgi marker GM130 signal, often referred to as contamination indicator (or negative marker) in EV preparations, seems to result from enzymatic digestion rather than from its actual absence in BDEV samples. Overall, we show that non-enzymatic isolation of EVs from brain tissue is possible and avoids artificial pruning of proteins while achieving an overall high BDEV yield and purity. This protocol will help to understand the functions of BDEV and their associated proteins in a near-physiological setting, thus opening new research approaches.
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.
