Background
Exosomes (exosomes) are one type of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) secreted by living cells, have a diameter of about 30-200nm, a density of 1.13-1.21g/ml, have a typical lipid bilayer structure, and are released extracellularly after intracellular multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are fused with cell membranes. Almost all types of cells (immune cells, nerve cells, stem cells), including tumor cells, can produce and release exosomes, but exosomes from different cell sources contain different RNA, lipid, and protein components. Functional proteins, mRNA, microRNA and other substances contained in the exosome play an important role in the intercellular information transfer process, participate in the intercellular substance transportation and information transfer, and regulate and control the physiological activities of cells. Therefore, the exosome plays a great role in convenience of antigen presentation, immune escape, normal cell transformation induction, tumor occurrence and metastasis promotion and the like, and in addition, the exosome plays a key role in physiological processes such as immune response, inflammatory reaction, angiogenesis, apoptosis, blood coagulation, waste treatment and the like, and can be used as a natural nanoparticle for drug delivery.
At present, ultracentrifugation, filtration centrifugation and immunomagnetic bead methods are commonly used in exosome separation methods. However, these methods have certain disadvantages.
The ultracentrifugation operation is complicated, long in time and needs to consume a large amount of raw materials, the repeated centrifugation operation is likely to damage vesicles of exosomes so as to reduce the quality of the exosomes, or soluble proteins in a sample and the exosomes can form aggregates and lumps together so as to cause pollution.
The main disadvantages of filtration centrifugation are that exosomes may block the filtration pores, resulting in a reduced membrane life, a lower separation efficiency, and the exosome membranes may stick to each other, resulting in a low separation yield and even in erroneous detection results.
The magnetic bead immunization method has low efficiency, the bioactivity of the substances contained in the exosome is easily influenced by pH and salt concentration, the downstream experiment is not facilitated, the yield is extremely low, and the magnetic bead immunization method cannot be used commercially.
