Abstract
PURPOSE Molecular composition of circulating small extracellular vesicles (EVs) does not merely reflect the cells of origin, but also is enriched in specific biomolecules directly associated with the cellular transformation. However, while most of the currently identified EV-miRs are only geared towards one-dimensional disease detection, their application for long-term tracking and treatment response monitoring has been largely elusive. METHODS We established and optimized a rapid, sensitive and robust liquid biopsy sampling method, and further used small RNA sequencing to comprehensively catalogue EV-miRomes in association with the progression and outcome of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). RESULTS By cross-comparison of EV-miRomes (n = 290) from multi-stage and longitudinal cohorts, we uncovered a 15-EV-miR signature with dual detection and long-term monitoring of tumor size progression for mCRC. From this panel, EV-miR-320c was uncovered as a strong clinical marker - aside from its diagnostic power and a therapeutic monitoring performance superior to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), its high expression has also been linked to lower overall survival and a greater likelihood of disease recurrence. Further, integrative analyses of tissue transcriptomic and liquid biopsy implicated this 15-EV-miR signature in programming the mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) for distant localization of the metastasized cells and also in creating a tumor-favoring metastatic niche. CONCLUSION Our clinically-oriented delineation of the mCRC-associated circulating EV-miRomes systematically revealed the functional significance of these liquid biopsy markers and further strengthen their translational potential in mCRC therapeutic monitoring.

Kattner AA. What makes tics tick? Insights into Tourette syndrome. Biomed J 2022; 45:219-226. [PMID: 35460927 PMCID: PMC9250088 DOI: 10.1016/j.bj.2022.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
This issue of Biomedical Journal provides the reader with articles concerning the latest understanding of Tourette syndrome (TS), the relation to genetic predisposition, defects in the dopaminergic system, and related comorbidities which further complications like sleep disruption. Treatment approaches for TS, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and developmental coordination disorder are discussed. The second section of this issue offers insights into inside out integrin activation and its link to T cell activation, demonstrates how polarity in immune cells allows adoption to specialized functions, and describes the endosomal signaling of internalized T cell receptors (TCRs). The link between mutations in TCR signaling and immunodeficiencies is elucidated, as well as the interactions of thymocyte-expressed molecule involved in selection in T cell development. Additionally, we learn about a potential biomarker for colorectal cancer, screening tools for determining frailty in older adults, surgical approaches in spinal metastases, the influence of autophagy on mating behavior, and the effect of nitrite administration on SNARE proteins associated with insulin secretion. Finally, parameters for surgery in breast cancer are discussed, as well as gender and age dependent pain perception in a lysosomal storage disease, and the use of laser meridian massage in opioid use disorder. Three letters complement this issue, one concerning neuroimaging in pediatric COVID-19 patients, and two discussing the role of cancer antigen-125 and renal impairment in ovarian cancer patients.
