Description
Background
1. Field of the invention
The present disclosure relates generally to the field of separating and isolating desired substances (MOI) from biological samples.
2. Background of the invention
Cells, Extracellular Vesicles (EVs), which include exosomes (Exo) and Microvesicles (MVs), and soluble molecules are present in various tissue fluid sources, such as urine, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, ascites, amniotic fluid, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and saliva. Since the protein and/or nucleic acid levels of cells, MV, Exo and/or soluble molecules reflect the physiological and pathological conditions of human tissues, cells, Exo and/or soluble molecules are suitable for use in predictive, diagnostic and prognostic assays for diseases by comparing their protein and/or nucleic acid levels to normal healthy subjects.
Since cells, MV, Exo, and/or soluble molecules can be derived from various types of cells (e.g., endothelial cells, epithelial cells, leukocytes, etc.), whether diseased or normal; and may be released from distal tissues (e.g., brain, heart, pancreas, bone marrow, lung, kidney, and reproductive tissues, including fetal, maternal, and placental tissues), there is a need in the art for a way to isolate cells, MV, Exo, and/or soluble molecules from a biological sample of a subject such that the isolated cells, MV, Exo, and/or soluble molecules can receive an in situ or ex situ assigned bioassay of biomarkers on the isolated cells, MV, Exo, and/or soluble molecules to provide a diagnostic or prognostic analysis of a disease and/or condition associated with the biomarkers analyzed in the subject. Preferably, based on the biomarkers analyzed, appropriate treatment can be administered to the subject to reduce and/or ameliorate a condition associated with the disease and/or condition.

However, the same or equivalent functions and sequences may be accomplished by different examples.
I. Definition of
For convenience, certain terms employed in the specification, examples, and appended claims are collected here. Unless defined otherwise herein, scientific and technical terms used in the present disclosure shall have the meanings that are commonly understood and used by those of ordinary skill in the art. Also, unless the context requires otherwise, it should be understood that singular terms shall include the plural form of the term, and plural terms shall include the singular. In particular, as used herein and in the claims, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include the plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Also, as used herein and in the claims, the terms "at least one" and "one or more" have the same meaning and include one, two, three, or more.
Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements. Also, as used herein, the term "about" generally means within 10%, 5%, 1%, or 0.5% of a given value or range. Alternatively, the term "about" is meant to be within an acceptable standard error of the average as considered by one of ordinary skill in the art. Except in the operating/functional examples, or where otherwise expressly indicated, all numerical ranges, amounts, values and percentages disclosed herein, such as amounts of material, durations, temperatures, operating conditions, proportions of amounts, and the like, are to be understood as modified in all instances by the term "about". Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the present disclosure and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties. At the very least, each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.
The term "intended substance (MOI)" as used herein refers to substances that may be retained by the device of the present disclosure, such as cells, vesicles, Microvesicles (MV) and exosomes (Exo), in particular substances having a diameter of at least 0.05 μm, such as 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.3, 0.31, 0.32, 0.33, 0.34, 0.35, 0.36, 0.37, 0.38, 0.39, 0.4, 0.41, 0.42, 0.43, 0.0644, 0.45, 0.35, 0.36, 0.37, 0.54, 0.42, 0.43, 0.54, 0.73, 0.54, 0.73, 0.72, 0.54, 0.73, 0.72, 0.73, 0.72, 0.42, 0.73, 0.72, 0.9, 0.72, 0.67, 0.73, 0.72, 0.73, 0.9, 0.73, 0.72, 0.9, 0.73, 0.9, 0.73, 0.67, 0.73, 0.72, 0.9, 0.73, 0.72, 0.9, 0.73, 0.9, 0.73, 0.72, 0.9, 0.73, 0.9, 0.27, 0.9, 0.72, 0.73, 0.72, 0.9, 0.73, 0.9, 0.73, 0.72, 0.9, 0.73, 0.9, 0.73, 0.72, 0.9, 0.73, 0.9, 0.73, 0.9, 0.73, 0.9, 0.73, 0.9, 0.72, 0.73, 0.95, 0.96, 0.97, 0.98, 0.99 and 1.0 μm; and soluble molecules with a diameter of less than 0.05 μm present in the filtrate of the present device (i.e., molecules that pass through the device and end up in the final filtrate), such as soluble molecules, e.g., peptides, polypeptides, hormones, growth factors, cytokines, etc.
The term "diagnosis" as used herein refers to the probability ("likelihood") by which a skilled artisan can estimate and/or determine whether a patient is suffering from a given disease or disorder. In the context of the present invention, "diagnosis" includes the use of the expression level of a specific target molecule of the present invention, optionally together with other clinical features, to achieve a diagnosis (i.e. occurrence or non-occurrence) of cancer, degenerative disease, infectious disease or aging of a subject from which a sample is obtained and assayed. Such a diagnosis being "determined" is not meant to imply that the diagnosis is 100% accurate. Many biomarkers are indicative of a variety of conditions. The skilled clinician does not use the biomarker results in an informative vacuum, but rather uses the test results with other clinical markers to achieve a diagnosis. Thus, a measured level of a biomarker on one side of a predetermined diagnostic threshold relative to a measured level on the other side of the predetermined diagnostic threshold indicates a greater likelihood of the subject developing disease.
The term "risk" herein refers to the potential for an outcome that may lead to an undesired outcome, such as the occurrence, progression or recurrence of a disease or disorder, such as preterm infant birth, degenerative disease, infectious disease, aging, etc.
The term "administered or administration" herein refers to a mode of delivery of an agent of the invention (e.g., an anti-degenerative, anti-infective, or anti-aging agent), including, but not limited to, intravenous, intra-articular, intra-tumoral, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intraarterial, intracranial, or subcutaneous administration of the agent.
As used herein, "treatment" includes prophylactic (e.g., prophylactic), curative or palliative treatment of a disease or disorder in a mammal, particularly a human; and comprises: (1) prophylactic (e.g., prophylactic), curative, or palliative treatment to prevent a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer, degenerative disease, infectious disease, or aging) from occurring in an individual who may be predisposed to the disease or disorder but has not yet been diagnosed as having the disease or disorder; (2) inhibiting the disease or disorder (e.g., by arresting its development); or (3) ameliorating the disease or disorder (e.g., reducing symptoms associated with the disease or disorder).
The term "effective amount" as referred to herein means an amount of a component sufficient to produce the desired response. For therapeutic purposes, an effective amount is also one in which any toxic or deleterious effects of the component are counteracted by a therapeutically beneficial effect. An effective amount of the agent is not required to cure the disease or condition, but will provide treatment for the disease or condition such that the onset of the disease or condition is delayed, hindered, or prevented, or the symptoms of the disease or condition are ameliorated. An effective amount may be divided into one, two or more doses in a suitable form to be administered in one, two or more times throughout a specified period of time. The particular effective amount or sufficient amount will vary depending on factors such as: the particular condition being treated, the physical state of the patient (e.g., the patient's weight, age, or sex), the type of mammal or animal being treated, the duration of the treatment, the nature of concurrent therapy (if any), and the particular formulation employed and the structure of the compound or derivative thereof. An effective amount may be expressed, for example, in terms of cell number, grams, milligrams or micrograms, or milligrams per kilogram of body weight (mg/Kg). Alternatively, an effective amount may be expressed in a concentration of an active component (e.g., an anti-degenerative or anti-infectious agent of the present disclosure), such as a cell concentration, a molar concentration, a mass concentration, a volume concentration, a mass molar concentration, a molar fraction, a mass fraction, and a mixing ratio. A person of ordinary skill can calculate a Human Equivalent Dose (HED) of a drug, such as the present anti-degenerative or anti-infectious agent, based on the dose determined from an animal model. For example, in estimating the maximum safe dose for a human subject, the "maximum safe starting dose in an initial clinical trial of adult healthy volunteer treatment" issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may be followed.
The term "subject" as used in the present disclosure refers to a mammal, such as a human, mouse, rat, hamster, guinea pig, rabbit, dog, cat, cow, goat, sheep, monkey, and horse. The term "subject" means both male and female unless one gender is specifically indicated. According to a preferred embodiment, the subject is a human.
The term "healthy subject" refers to a subject without a disease or disorder, e.g., a subject without symptoms of preterm labor, degenerative or infectious diseases, or a subject not in an aging condition (i.e., a subject about 30 years of age or under). Generally, the term "healthy subject" refers to a subject that has not been diagnosed as having a disease or disorder and that does not exhibit one or more (e.g., two, three, four, or five) symptoms associated with the disease or disorder.
Description of the invention
1. Apparatus and method for isolating MOI from biological samples
The general concept of the present invention is to isolate MOIs (e.g., cells, microvesicles, exosomes, etc.) from a biological sample, wherein the isolation is achieved by size screening, changes in affinity or ionic strength. Thus, the device is constructed by using at least one filter, which may be a size screening column, an affinity column, an elutriator or a porous membrane. Analysis of the biomarkers present in or on the isolated MOI can then be used to diagnose and/or prognosticate a disease and/or disorder in the subject from which the biological sample is derived based on comparison of the biomarker levels with a control sample derived from a sample of healthy normal subjects.
1.1 isolation of MOI by size screening
Fig. 1A is a schematic diagram depicting an apparatus 100 for isolating an MOI from a biological sample constructed in accordance with example 1.1 of the present disclosure; the apparatus 100 includes a cartridge 110, the cartridge 110 including three filters 120, 130, 140 in series. The three filters 120, 130, 140 are porous membranes, respectively, and are arranged in order of decreasing pore size. Specifically, from the inlet 101 to the outlet 102 of the cartridge 110, the pore size of one filter is larger than the pore size of the subsequent other filter. In other words, the pore size in the first filter is larger than the pore size in the second filter, which is larger than the pore size in the third filter. According to a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the first filter 120 includes a plurality of pores having a diameter of about 0.8-1 μm, the second filter 130 includes a plurality of pores having a diameter of about 0.20-0.22 μm, and the third filter 140 includes a plurality of pores having a diameter of about 0.03-0.05 μm. By this arrangement of the filters, at least three groups of MOIs having diameter sizes respectively between 1.0-20 μm, 0.20-1.0 μm or 0.05-0.02 μm can be separated.
During operation, cassette 110 is preferably in an upright position, with inlet 110 of cassette 110 facing upward and outlet 102 of cassette 110 facing downward. An aliquot of a biological sample (e.g., a urine sample) is fed into the cassette 110 from the inlet 101, which flows down through a first filter 120, where the MOI (e.g., cells) in the biological sample having a diameter of 1.0-20 μm, preferably at least 0.8 μm, will be retained by the first filter 110, and the remainder of the sample will continue to flow down and into a second filter 130, where the MOI (e.g., MV) having a diameter of 0.2-1.0 μm, preferably at least 0.2 μm, is retained by the second filter 130; the remaining sample will then continue to flow down into the third filter 140 where the MOI (e.g., exosomes) having a diameter of 0.2-0.05 μm, preferably at least 0.05 μm, are retained. The remaining sample, which contains material that cannot be retained by any of the three filters 120, 130, 140, will be retained in the filtrate collected from the outlet 102 of the cartridge 110. Typically, once fed into the cassette 110, the sample will naturally flow through the cassette 110 by gravity. Alternatively or optionally, the sample can also be pushed through the magazine 110 manually or automatically by means of a force by means of a pump, syringe or the like.
Alternatively or optionally, as depicted in fig. 1B, the device 100 may further comprise a first container 160, located upstream of the cartridge 110, for containing a biological sample prior to and/or during operation. Alternatively or optionally, an additional filter 150 (i.e., a fourth filter 150) may be located after the first container 160 and before the cartridge 110 in order to prevent molecules in the biological sample having a diameter greater than 20 μm from entering the cartridge 110. Alternatively or optionally, a second container 170 may be located downstream of the outlet 102 of the cartridge 110 for collecting the filtrate eluted from the apparatus 100.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the MOI of at least 0.8 μm retained by the first filter is a cell, the MOI of at least 0.2 μm retained by the second filter is a Microvesicle (MV); and an MOI of at least 0.05 μm retained by the third filter is an exosome (Exo). The filtrate collected from the outlet 102 of the cartridge includes an MOI (i.e., soluble macromolecules) of less than 0.05 μm in diameter. MOI (i.e., soluble molecules) less than 0.05 μm in diameter include DNA, RNA, proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, or combinations thereof.
The MOI retained by the first, second and third filters, respectively, and the MOI present in the filtrate may be recovered independently and analyzed with respect to the level and/or pattern of biomarkers expressed thereon or therein in a suitable manner known to the skilled person which is specific for the biomarkers being analyzed.
1.2 isolation of MOI by changes in affinity or ionic Strength
According to another alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the isolation of the MOI from the biological sample is achieved by using an affinity column. Thus, an apparatus was constructed comprising an anion exchange column that served as a filter for separating MOI. In this particular embodiment, an aliquot of a biological sample (e.g., a urine sample) is fed into the present device comprising an anion exchange column, and then an MOI of the desired size is eluted by a high concentration salt solution. In this way, at least three groups of MOIs having a diameter size of 1.0-20 μm, 0.20-1.0 μm or 0.05-0.20 μm, respectively, can be isolated. In particular, the MOI group, with a diameter size between 1.0-20 μm, comprises cells; the MOI group, which has a diameter size between 0.20 and 1.0 μm, comprises Microvesicles (MVs); the MOI group, with diameter sizes between 0.05-0.20 μm, includes exosomes (Exo).

Examples
Materials and methods
Determination of proteomic profiles in MOI
By ITRAQTM(isobaric labeling for relative and absolute quantification) protein peptides derived from the MOI (i.e., MV or Exo) of urine samples were determined. The protein concentration in each MOI was measured and homogenized prior to study. ITRAQTMThe method is a protein quantification method based on peptide labeling with the following compounds: the compounds produce isobaric fragments suitable for comparison of peptides among protein samples obtained according to LC/MS-MS spectroscopy. ITRAQ using Applied Biosystems provided as a set of four isobaric reagentsTMReagent (Applied Biosystems, usa): ITRAQTMReagent 114, ITRAQTMReagent 115 and ITRAQTMReagent 116 and ITRAQTMReagent 117, to label the protein of each MOI, four samples were prepared so that 4 plex sample analyses were performed in the LC/MS-MS experiment. Each sample was digested into peptides by trypsin, labeled with a normalized single isobaric fragment, and read by LC/MS-MS analysis.
Measuring E-cadherin levels
The level of E-cadherin in each sample (e.g., cells, MV, Exo and Soln) was determined by mixing with biotin-labeled aptamer (100uM) in 1ml Tris Buffer (TBS) for 2 hours. After washing 3 times in 5ml TBS-Tween 20 (0.1%), the samples were probed with streptavidin-HRP (horseradish peroxidase) solution for 2 hours. After 3 washes in 5ml TBS-tween 200.1%, the samples were placed in HRP substrate reagent and read by myECL Imager equipped with a chemiluminescent exposure screen.
Measurement of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipoprotein (NGAL) levels
The level of NGAL in each sample (e.g. cells, MV, Exo and Soln) was determined by placing biotin-labelled specific antibodies (1:500) in 1ml Tris Buffer (TBS) for 2 hours followed by 3 washes in 5ml TBS-tween 20, and then probing the samples with streptavidin-HRP (horseradish peroxidase) solution for 2 hours. After 3 washes in 5ml TBS-tween 200.1%, the samples were placed in HRP substrate reagent and read by myECL Imager equipped with a chemiluminescent exposure screen.
Western blot assay
Twenty micrograms of total protein from the MOI of the urine sample was subjected to SDS-PAGE under denaturing conditions. After electrophoresis, the protein gel was transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane by a semi-dry transfer device. The membrane was incubated with skim milk powder to block non-specific binding in Tris buffer (50mM) before incubation with antibody (dilution 1:2,000) or aptamer (100nM, e.g., aptamer of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2, which are specific for E-cadherin and mucin 5Ac, respectively). After washing with Tris buffer to remove unbound antibodies or aptamers, the expression level of specific proteins was detected via streptavidin-HRP (horseradish peroxidase) chemiluminescence reaction.
Measuring creatinine levels in urine
Biomarker levels in urine can be affected by urine concentration in different physiological states (e.g., fasting or postprandial states), and therefore, urine creatinine levels should be measured to correct and/or compensate for changes due to changes in physiological states. After dissolution in the radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (RIPA buffer, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt), the resulting solution is analyzed using a 562nm standard spectrophotometer or microplate reader using PierceTMColorimetric detection of BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, usa) to measure total protein (e.g., cells, MV, Exo, and Soln) in each sample. Urine creatinine levels were measured by a colorimetric assay kit of alkaline picrate solutions. The urine sample was diluted (dilution 1:20, wherein 10. mu.L of the sample was diluted with 190. mu.L of deionized water), and 50. mu.L of the diluted sample was added to 100. mu.L of an alkaline picric acid salt solution and reacted for 30 minutes. Creatinine concentrations were determined by comparison to a standard curve (0.3mg/dL to 20mg/dL) in optical density at 490nm using a microplate reader (ThermoFisher Scientific, USA).
EXAMPLE 1 construction and testing of the present device
1.1 separation of MOI by means of an apparatus comprising filters in series
In this example, a prototype of the present device was constructed and tested. Briefly, 2 or 3 filters each having a pore size of 0.8 μm, 0.2 μm and/or 0.05 μm are connected in series. The filters are independently designed to capture cells (about 0.8-1 μm in size), microvesicles (about 0.2-0.8 μm in size) and exosomes (about 0.05-0.20 μm in size), and any material not retained by the filters will be collected in the filtrate passing through the device.
First, the biological sample is fed from the inlet of the first filter (0.8 μm) and allowed to drip or push (e.g., via the use of a syringe) through the entire device, collecting the material that is retained in each filter and the final filtrate (i.e., the filtrate of the third filter (0.05 μm)). In addition, the filtrate passing through each filter, as well as the material retained on each filter, is sampled for subsequent quantitative or qualitative analysis.
To test the device, a urine sample (approximately 30mL) was allowed to pass through the device, and the filtrate passing through each filter and the material retained on each filter were collected separately and then analyzed to determine the level of E-cadherin expressed on each set of MOIs isolated by the device. As described in the materials and methods section, the level of E-cadherin is monitored by biotinylated aptamers and amplified by chemiluminescent detection.
It was found that E-cadherin was differentially expressed in cells, microvesicles and exosomes, whereas E-cadherin was not found in the collected filtrates containing soluble macromolecules (fig. 2).
1.2 separation of urine EV by ion chromatography
In this example, an ion exchange column was used to separate the urine EV. Briefly, a urine sample (about 30mL) was passed through an anion exchange column (i.e., AIEX chromatography) and eluted with sodium chloride solution (1M) to obtain EV. The isolated exosomes were confirmed by monitoring CD9 expressed on EV (see fig. 3).
Example 2 expression pattern display of neural specific biomarkers and proteomics among MOI of young and elderly subjects
MOI was isolated from urine samples collected from young (< 30 years) and older (> 60 years) subjects according to the procedure described in example 1.1, except that neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and neuronal cell adhesion molecule L1(LICAM) expressed in MOI were monitored by biotin-labeled specific antibody, chemiluminescence detection amplification as described in the materials and methods section.
It was found that LICAM is present in Exo and MV and that there is a high level of NSE in older adults but not young adults. Furthermore, NGAL levels in MV were higher in young subjects, whereas in older subjects the amount of NGAL expression was similar and significant among cells, MV and exosomes (fig. 4).
To understand proteomic displays in MV and Exo between young and older subjects, a total of 1902 proteins were identified by iTRAQ (isobaric labeling for relative and absolute quantitation) mass spectrometry, and there were significant differences in expression of 62 proteins between exosomes derived from young (age < 30 years) and older adults (age > 60 years), with the data summarized in table 1.
Table 1 differential display of proteins in MV and Exo between young and elderly subjects
Example 3 differential expression of vascular mediators and cytokines in the MOI of normal or preterm pregnant women
To identify factors that lead to premature infants in pregnant women, the levels of various vascular mediators at various MOIs in urine samples obtained from pregnant women were separately measured, including: soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1(sFlt 1); pregnancy-associated plasma protein a (pappa); brain derived neurotrophic factor (BNDF); and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1(IGFBP 1); and cytokines including IL-6, IL-8, IL-10; C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 13(CXCL 13); and levels of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL 1-ra).
A total of 150 pregnant women were enrolled for this study with prior written consent of the subjects. Urine samples (40 mL each) were collected from pregnant women between weeks 12 and 16 of Gestation (GA), 10 out of 150 pregnant women had preterm birth in zero 5 days of gestation 32 weeks (from zero 5 days of GA 22 weeks to zero 5 days of 35 weeks). These 10 urine samples (i.e., premature women) were matched with another 10 urine samples collected from normal-born women during the same labor period. The MOI (i.e., cells, MV, Exo (EV) and Soln) were isolated from all urine samples (40 mL each) as described in example 1.1.1. Each group of MOIs was then subjected to microfluidic chip assays for determining the respective levels of growth factors (i.e., sFlt1, PAPPA, BDNF, IGFBP1) and cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, CXCL13, IL1 ra). The results are depicted in fig. 5.
Cells, MV, Exo and/or Soln isolated from urine samples from preterm (P) pregnant women were found to have higher levels of sFlt1, PAPPA and IL-1ra, and lower levels of IL-10 compared to normal (N) delivered women. sFlt1 levels in all MOIs were significantly higher in the preterm group and IL-10 levels in MV or Exo fractions were significantly lower in the preterm group (see left panel of fig. 5).
In addition, the ratio between growth factors (i.e., sFlt1 and PAPPA) and cytokines (i.e., IL-10), including sFlt1/IL-10, PAPPA/IL-10, and IL-1ra/IL-10, was calculated and depicted in the right panel of FIG. 5. It was found that higher proportions of sFlt1/IL-10, PAPPA/IL-10 or IL-1ra/IL-10 levels represent a higher risk of preterm labor in the woman.
Example 4 differential expression of vascular mediators and/or DNA in the MOI of young and elderly subjects or subjects with Parkinson's Disease (PD)
4.1 differential expression of growth factors in MOI between young and older subjects
In this example, MOI is isolated from a urine sample collected from a young adult subject (i.e., 30 years old) or an older subject (i.e., over 60 years old), and the expression amounts of fibroblast growth factor 1(FGF-1), FGF-2, leptin, heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF), vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D), and Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) and DNA are separately determined. The results are shown in fig. 6 and 7.
First, expression of FGF-1, VEGF-D, and HGF was found only in Exo, but not in MV or the filtrate containing soluble macromolecules; meanwhile, the expression of leptin (leptin), FGF-2 and HB-EGF is found in both MV and Exo.
Further analysis showed that older subjects (i.e., AVG-years) had significant amounts of FGF-1 (in MV) and PLGF (in the filtrate containing soluble macromolecules) compared to normal subjects (i.e., AVG-young); however, the expression of FGF-2 (in MV) is higher in young subjects.
4.2 differential expression of growth factors among MOI between older subjects with or without Parkinson's Disease (PD)
In this example, MOI is isolated from a urine sample of an older subject with or without PD, and the expression of FGF-1, HB-EGF and leptin are determined separately. The results are illustrated in fig. 8.
FGF-1 in MV and FGF-2 in Exo were found to be expressed only in normal elderly subjects (i.e., AVG-C), while leptin was only expressed in PD subjects (i.e., AVG-PD). In addition, normal elderly subjects have relatively higher levels of HB-EGF (in MV) compared to PD subjects.
4.3 expression of leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein 1(LRG1) and CD9 in young, elderly and PD subjects
Exosomes were isolated from urine samples of young, elderly and PD subjects, and the levels of LRG1 and CD9 were determined via western blot analysis, respectively. The results are depicted in fig. 9.
The data indicate that the expression levels of exosome CD9 were similar for young (Y) and old (O) adults, but the old adults (over 60 years of age) had a prominent higher level of LRG1 expression. Expression levels of CD9 were similar in PD subjects (i.e., case 1(PD1), case 2(PD2), while levels of LRG1 were lower than in normal older adults (O1, O2, O3, and O4).
4.4 differential DNA levels among MOI of young and older subjects
MOI were isolated from urine samples of young and older adult subjects and from PD subjects according to the procedure of example 1.1, and the total DNA level and the level of 8-hydroxy-2' -deoxyguanosine (8OHdG) as a marker of DNA damage in each MOI were determined. Total DNA levels were determined by Nanodrop spectroscopy and the levels of 8OHdG were determined by enzyme-linked immunoassay according to the protocol provided by the manufacturer (ThermoFisher Scientific, USA).
As a result, older subjects were found to have relatively high total DNA levels in both exosomes and soluble fractions (i.e., fractions comprising soluble macromolecules) (fig. 10). Furthermore, Exo derived from normal elderly subjects had significantly higher 8OHdG levels than MV, but there was no significant difference in 8OHdG levels in MV or Exo between normal elderly subjects and PD subjects (fig. 11).
Example 5 differential expression of NS1 antigen, vascular mediators, and 8OHdG among MOI of dengue infected subjects
According to the procedure of example 1.1, MOI was isolated from urine samples of dengue infected subjects with or without clinical warning signs (e.g., vital sign instability signs, hemoconcentration, thrombocytopenia, etc.) and the levels of dengue virus NS1 antigen, various vascular mediators and 8OHdG were separately determined. The results are shown in fig. 12.
Significant levels of NS1 antigen were found in MV isolated from dengue subjects, and to some extent NS1 antigen was found in the Exo fraction (fig. 12, panel (a)). With respect to expression of vascular mediators, both urine MV and exosomes of dengue subjects had significantly higher levels of EGF, while only urine exosomes had expression of G-CSF (fig. 12, panel (B)). Furthermore, dengue subjects exhibiting clinical warning signs (i.e., AVG-W) had higher levels of leptin (leptin) and VEGF-a, but lower levels of G-CSF (figure 12, panel (C)) compared to dengue subjects without warning signs (i.e., AVG-C). In addition, higher levels of 8OHdG were also found in the MV of dengue subjects compared to normal subjects.
In summary, the present disclosure demonstrates that various biomarkers are differentially expressed on cells, microvesicles, exosomes and soluble fraction in subjects with pathological conditions (e.g., aging, viral infection, degenerative diseases, premature infant birth, etc.).
