Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-enclosed particles that can be released by all type of cells. Whereas, as one of the most common post-translational modifications, glycosylation plays a vital role in various biological functions of EVs, such as EV biogenesis, sorting, and cellular recognition. Nevertheless, compared with studies on RNAs or proteins, those investigating the glycoconjugates of EVs are limited. An in-depth investigation of N-glycosylation of EVs can improve the understanding of the biological functions of EVs and help to exploit EVs from different perspectives. The general focus of studies on glycosylation of EVs primarily includes isolation and characterization of EVs, preparation of glycoproteome/glycome samples and MS analysis. However, the low content of EVs and non-standard separation methods for downstream analysis are the main limitations of these studies. In this review, we highlight the importance of glycopeptide/glycan enrichment and derivatization owing to the low abundance of glycoproteins and the low ionization efficiency of glycans. Diverse fragmentation patterns and professional analytical software are indispensable for analysing glycosylation via MS. Altogether, this review summarises recent studies on glycosylation of EVs, revealing the role of EVs in disease progression and their remarkable potential as biomarkers.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), the key players in inter-cellular communication, are produced by all cell types and are present in all body fluids. Analysis of the proteome content is an important approach in structural and functional studies of these vesicles. EVs circulating in human plasma are heterogeneous in size, cellular origin, and functions. This heterogeneity and the potential presence of contamination with plasma components such as lipoprotein particles and soluble plasma proteins represent a challenge in profiling the proteome of EV subsets by mass spectrometry. An immunocapture strategy prior to mass spectrometry may be used to isolate a homogeneous subpopulation of small EVs (sEV) with a specific endocytic origin from plasma or other biofluids. Immunocapture selectively separates EV subpopulations in biofluids based on the presence of a unique protein carried on the vesicle surface. The advantages and disadvantages of EV immune capture as a preparative step for mass spectrometry are discussed.

Mol Cell Proteomics 2024; 23:100762. [PMID: 38608839 PMCID: PMC11098956 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2024.100762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) are crucial in plant cellular processes, particularly in protein folding and signal transduction. N-glycosylation and phosphorylation are notably significant PTMs, playing essential roles in regulating plant responses to environmental stimuli. However, current sequential enrichment methods for simultaneous analysis of phosphoproteome and N-glycoproteome are labor-intensive and time-consuming, limiting their throughput. Addressing this challenge, this study introduces a novel tandem S-Trap-IMAC-HILIC (S-Trap: suspension trapping; IMAC: immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography; HILIC: hydrophilic interaction chromatography) strategy, termed TIMAHAC, for simultaneous analysis of plant phosphoproteomics and N-glycoproteomics. This approach integrates IMAC and HILIC into a tandem tip format, streamlining the enrichment process of phosphopeptides and N-glycopeptides. The key innovation lies in the use of a unified buffer system and an optimized enrichment sequence to enhance efficiency and reproducibility. The applicability of TIMAHAC was demonstrated by analyzing the Arabidopsis phosphoproteome and N-glycoproteome in response to abscisic acid (ABA) treatment. Up to 1954 N-glycopeptides and 11,255 phosphopeptides were identified from Arabidopsis, indicating its scalability for plant tissues. Notably, distinct perturbation patterns were observed in the phosphoproteome and N-glycoproteome, suggesting their unique contributions to ABA response. Our results reveal that TIMAHAC offers a comprehensive approach to studying complex regulatory mechanisms and PTM interplay in plant biology, paving the way for in-depth investigations into plant signaling networks.

Effect of Sample Preprocessing and Size-Based Extraction Methods on the Physical and Molecular Profiles of Extracellular Vesicles. ACS Sens 2024; 9:1239-1251.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanometric lipid vesicles that shuttle cargo between cells. Their analysis could shed light on health and disease conditions, but EVs must first be preserved, extracted, and often preconcentrated. Here we first compare plasma preservation agents, and second, using both plasma and cell supernatant, four EV extraction methods, including (i) ultracentrifugation (UC), (ii) size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), (iii) centrifugal filtration (LoDF), and (iv) accousto-sorting (AcS). We benchmarked them by characterizing the integrity, size distribution, concentration, purity, and expression profiles for nine proteins of EVs, as well as the overall throughput, time-to-result, and cost. We found that the difference between ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and citrate anticoagulants varies with the extraction method. In our hands, ultracentrifugation produced a high yield of EVs with low contamination; SEC is low-cost, fast, and easy to implement, but the purity of EVs is lower; LoDF and AcS are both compatible with process automation, small volume requirement, and rapid processing times. When using plasma, LoDF was susceptible to clogging and sample contamination, while AcS featured high purity but a lower yield of extraction. Analysis of protein profiles suggests that the extraction methods extract different subpopulations of EVs. Our study highlights the strengths and weaknesses of sample preprocessing methods, and the variability in concentration, purity, and EV expression profiles of the extracted EVs. Preanalytical parameters such as collection or preprocessing protocols must be considered as part of the entire process in order to address EV diversity and their use as clinically actionable indicators.

Abstract
Human blood is a window of physiology and disease. Examination of biomarkers in blood is a common clinical procedure, which can be informative in diagnosis and prognosis of diseases, and in evaluating treatment effectiveness. There is still a huge demand on new blood biomarkers and assays for precision medicine nowadays, therefore plasma/serum proteomics has attracted increasing attention in recent years. How to effectively proceed with the biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostic assay development is a question raised to researchers who are interested in this area. In this review, we comprehensively introduce the background and advancement of technologies for blood proteomics, with a focus on mass spectrometry (MS). Analyzing existing blood biomarkers and newly-built diagnostic assays based on MS can shed light on developing new biomarkers and analytical methods. We summarize various protein analytes in plasma/serum which include total proteome, protein post-translational modifications, and extracellular vesicles, focusing on their corresponding sample preparation methods for MS analysis. We propose screening multiple protein analytes in the same set of blood samples in order to increase success rate for biomarker discovery. We also review the trends of MS techniques for blood tests including sample preparation automation, and further provide our perspectives on their future directions.

Abstract
While the field of precision oncology is rapidly expanding and more targeted options are revolutionizing cancer treatment paradigms, therapeutic resistance particularly to immunotherapy remains a pressing challenge. This can be largely attributed to the dynamic tumor-stroma interactions that continuously alter the microenvironment. While to date most advancements have been made through examining the clinical utility of tissue-based biomarkers, their invasive nature and lack of a holistic representation of the evolving disease in a real-time manner could result in suboptimal treatment decisions. Thus, using minimally-invasive approaches to identify biomarkers that predict and monitor treatment response as well as alert to the emergence of recurrences is of a critical need. Currently, research efforts are shifting towards developing liquid biopsy-based biomarkers obtained from patients over the course of disease. Liquid biopsy represents a unique opportunity to monitor intercellular communication within the tumor microenvironment which could occur through the exchange of extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are lipid bilayer membrane nanoscale vesicles which transfer a plethora of biomolecules that mediate intercellular crosstalk, shape the tumor microenvironment, and modify drug response. The capture of EVs using innovative approaches, such as microfluidics, magnetic beads, and aptamers, allow their analysis via high throughput multi-omics techniques and facilitate their use for biomarker discovery. Artificial intelligence, using machine and deep learning algorithms, is advancing multi-omics analyses to uncover candidate biomarkers and predictive signatures that are key for translation into clinical trials. With the increasing recognition of the role of EVs in mediating immune evasion and as a valuable biomarker source, these real-time snapshots of cellular communication are promising to become an important tool in the field of precision oncology and spur the recognition of strategies to block resistance to immunotherapy. In this review, we discuss the emerging role of EVs in biomarker research describing current advances in their isolation and analysis techniques as well as their function as mediators in the tumor microenvironment. We also highlight recent lung cancer and melanoma studies that point towards their application as predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy and their potential clinical use in precision immuno-oncology.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane nanoarchitectures generated by cells that carry a variety of biomolecules, including DNA, RNA, proteins and metabolites. These characteristics make them attractive as circulating bioinformatic nanocabinets for liquid biopsy. Recent advances on EV biology and biogenesis demonstrate that EVs serve as highly important cellular surrogates involved in a wide range of diseases, opening up new frontiers for modern diagnostics. However, inefficient methods for EV enrichment, as well as low sensitivity of EV bioinformatic decoding technologies, hinder the use of EV nanocabinet for clinical diagnosis. To overcome these challenges, new EV nanotechnology is being actively developed to promote the clinical translation of EV diagnostics. This article aims to present the emerging enrichment strategies and bioinformatic decoding platforms for EV analysis, and their applications as bioinformatic nanomaterials in clinical settings.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicle (EV) proteomics emerges as an effective tool for discovering potential biomarkers for disease diagnosis, monitoring, and therapeutics. However, the current workflow of mass spectrometry-based EV proteome analysis is not fully compatible in a clinical setting due to inefficient EV isolation methods and a tedious sample preparation process. To streamline and improve the efficiency of EV proteome analysis, here we introduce a one-pot analytical pipeline integrating a robust EV isolation approach, EV total recovery and purification (EVtrap), with in situ protein sample preparation, to detect urinary EV proteome. By incorporating solvent-driven protein capture and fast on-bead digestion, the one-pot pipeline enabled the whole EV proteome analysis to be completed within one day. In comparison with the existing workflow, the one-pot pipeline was able to obtain better peptide yield and identify the equivalent number of unique EV proteins from 1 mL of urine. Finally, we applied the one-pot pipeline to profile proteomes in urinary EVs of bladder cancer patients. A total of 2774 unique proteins were identified in 53 urine samples using a 15 min gradient library-free data-independent acquisition method. Taken altogether, our novel one-pot analytical pipeline demonstrated its potential for routine and robust EV proteomics in biomedical applications.

Discovery of lipid profiles in plasma-derived extracellular vesicles as biomarkers for breast cancer diagnosis. Cancer Sci 2023; 114:4020-4031.

Abstract
Lipids are a major component of extracellular vesicles; however, their significance in tumorigenesis and progression has not been well elucidated. As we previously found that lipid profiles drastically changed in breast tumors upon progression, we hypothesized that lipid profiles of plasma-derived extracellular vesicles could be utilized as breast cancer biomarkers. Here, we adopted modified sucrose cushion ultracentrifugation to isolate plasma-derived extracellular vesicles from breast cancer (n = 105), benign (n = 11), and healthy individuals (n = 43) in two independent cohorts (n = 126 and n = 33) and conducted targeted lipidomic analysis. We established a breast cancer diagnostic model comprising three lipids that showed favorable performance with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.759, 0.743, and 0.804 in the training, internal validation, and external test sets, respectively. Moreover, we identified several lipids that could effectively discriminate breast cancer progression and subtypes: phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylserines were relatively higher in Stage III, whereas phosphatidylcholines and sphingomyelins were higher in Stage IV; phosphatidylcholines and ceramides were correspondingly concentrated in HER2-positive patients, while lysophosphatidylcholines and polyunsaturated triglycerides were concentrated in the triple-negative breast cancer subtype. Lipid profiling of plasma-derived extracellular vesicles is a non-invasive and promising approach for diagnosing, staging, and subtyping breast cancer.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs), such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination, play key roles in signal transduction and protein homeostasis. The crosstalk of PTMs greatly expands the components of proteome and protein functions. Multi-level proteome analysis, which involves proteome investigations of total lysate and PTMs in this context, provides a comprehensive approach to explore the PTM crosstalk of a biological system under diverse disturbances. However, multi-level proteome practice remains technically challenging. Here we intended to build a strategy for multi-level proteome analysis, in which we focus on the serial profiling the total proteome, ubiquitinome and phosphoproteome from the microscale of starting material. We started by evaluating five common lysis buffers and found that the sodium deoxycholate buffer provided the best overall performance. We then developed an approach for serial enrichment and profiling of the multi-level proteome. To expand the depth of identification, we customized the variable windows to perform data-independent acquisition (DIA) sequencing for each proteome. In total, we identified 6465 proteins, ∼20,000 GlyGly sites (class 1), and ∼ 19,000 phosphosites (class 1) sequentially using 1 mg of HeLa digest by three DIA measurements. We applied this strategy to analyze MG132-treated HeLa cells and observed the crosstalk between ubiquitination and phosphorylation. Our method can be referenced for other multi-level proteome studies with microscale samples. SIGNIFICANCE: Lysis buffer containing sodium deoxycholate provided the best overall performance in multi-level proteome analysis. One step of ubiquitination enrichment before phosphorylation enrichment does not reduce the reproducibility of phosphoproteome. Customized isolation windows were established for DIA analysis on each level of proteome. Combined the serial enrichment approach and the customized single-shot DIA method enabled the multi-level proteome of microscale protein samples.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uveitis and posterior scleritis are sight-threatening diseases with undefined pathogenesis and accurate diagnosis remains challenging. METHODS Two plasma-derived extracellular vesicle (EV) subpopulations, small and large EVs, obtained from patients with ankylosing spondylitis-related uveitis, Behcet's disease uveitis, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, and posterior scleritis were subjected to proteomics analysis alongside plasma using SWATH-MS. A comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was performed on the proteomic profiles of sEVs, lEVs, and plasma. Candidate biomarkers were validated in a new cohort using ELISA. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the relationship between clinical parameters and proteomic data. Connectivity map database was used to predict therapeutic agents. RESULTS In total, 3,668 proteins were identified and over 3000 proteins were quantified from 278 samples. When comparing diseased group to healthy control, the proteomic profiles of the two EV subgroups were more correlated with disease than plasma. Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis highlighted potential pathogenic mechanisms for these diseases. Potential biomarker panels for four diseases were identified and validated. We found a negative correlation between plasma endothelin-converting enzyme 1 level and mean retinal thickness. Potential therapeutic drugs were proposed, and their targets were identified. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a proteomic landscape of plasma and EVs involved in ankylosing spondylitis-related uveitis, Behcet's disease uveitis, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, and posterior scleritis, offers insights into disease pathogenesis, identifies valuable biomarker candidates, and proposes promising therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation and phosphorylation are two of the most common post-translational modifications (PTMs), which play an important role in many biological processes. However, low abundance and poor ionization efficiency of phosphopeptides and glycopeptides make direct MS analysis challenging. In this study, we developed a hydrophilicity-enhanced bifunctional Ti-IMAC (IMAC: immobilized metal affinity chromatography) material with grafted adenosine triphosphate (denoted as epoxy-ATP-Ti4+) to enable simultaneous enrichment and separation of common N-glycopeptides, phosphopeptides, and M6P glycopeptides from tissue/cells. The enrichment was achieved through a dual-mode mechanism based on the electrostatic and hydrophilic properties of the material. The epoxy-ATP-Ti4+ IMAC material was prepared from epoxy-functionalized silica particles via a convenient two-step process. The ATP molecule provided strong and active phosphate sites for binding phosphopeptides in the conventional IMAC mode and also contributed significantly to the hydrophilicity, which permitted the enrichment of glycopeptides via hydrophilic interaction chromatography. The two modes could be implemented simultaneously, allowing glycopeptides and phosphopeptides to be collected sequentially in a single experiment from the same sample. In addition to standard protein samples, the material was further applied to glycopeptide and phosphopeptide enrichment and characterization from HeLa cell digests and mouse lung tissue samples. In total, 2928 glycopeptides and 3051 phosphopeptides were identified from the mouse lung tissue sample, supporting the utility of this material for large-scale PTM analysis of complex biological samples. Overall, the newly developed epoxy-ATP-Ti4+ IMAC material and associated fractionation method enable simple and effective enrichment and separation of glycopeptides and phosphopeptides, offering a useful tool to study potential crosstalk between these two important PTMs in biological systems. The MS data have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the PRIDE partner repository with the data set identifier PXD029775.

Abstract
Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as an appealing source for surrogates to evaluate the disease status. Herein, we present a novel proteomic strategy to identify proteins and phosphoproteins from salivary EVs to distinguish oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients from healthy individuals and explore the feasibility to evaluate therapeutical outcomes. Bi-functionalized magnetic beads (BiMBs) with Ti (IV) ions and a lipid analog, 1,2-Distearoyl-3-sn-glycerophosphoethanolamine (DSPE) are developed to efficiently isolate EVs from small volume of saliva. In the discovery stage, label-free proteomics and phosphoproteomics quantification showed 315 upregulated proteins and 132 upregulated phosphoproteins in OSCC patients among more than 2500 EV proteins and 1000 EV phosphoproteins, respectively. We further applied targeted proteomics by coupling parallel reaction monitoring with parallel accumulation-serial fragmentation (prm-PASEF) to measure panels of proteins and phosphoproteins from salivary EVs collected before and after surgical resection. A panel of three total proteins and three phosphoproteins, most of which have previously been associated with OSCC and other cancer types, show sensitive response to the therapy in individual patients. Our study presents a novel strategy to the discovery of effective biomarkers for non-invasive assessment of OSCC surgical outcomes with small amount of saliva.

Abstract
Current clinical tools for breast cancer (BC) diagnosis are insufficient but liquid biopsy of different bodily fluids has recently emerged as a minimally invasive strategy that provides a real-time snapshot of tumour biomarkers for early diagnosis, active surveillance of progression, and post-treatment recurrence. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized membranous structures 50-1000 nm in diameter that are released by cells into biological fluids. EVs contain proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids which play pivotal roles in tumourigenesis and metastasis through cell-to-cell communication. Proteins and miRNAs from small EVs (sEV), which range in size from 50-150 nm, are being investigated as a potential source for novel BC biomarkers using mass spectrometry-based proteomics and next-generation sequencing. This review covers recent developments in sEV isolation and single sEV analysis technologies and summarises the sEV protein and miRNA biomarkers identified for BC diagnosis, prognosis, and chemoresistance. The limitations of current sEV biomarker research are discussed along with future perspective applications.

Abstract
Exosomes are an emerging source for disease biomarker discovery due to the high stability of proteins protected by phospholipid bilayers. However, liquid biopsy with exosomes remains challenging due to the extreme complexity of biological samples. Herein, we introduced an amphiphile-dendrimer supramolecular probe (ADSP) for the efficient capture and high-throughput analysis of exosomes, enabling the array-based assay for marker proteins. Amphiphilic amphotericin B was functionalized onto highly branched globular dendrimers, which can then insert into the exosome membrane efficiently, forming a supramolecular complex through multivalent interactions between the probe and the bilayer of exosomes. The ADSP can be easily coated onto magnetic beads or the nitrocellulose membrane, facilitating the capture of exosomes from a minimum amount of clinical samples. The captured exosomes can be detected with target protein antibodies via Western blotting or in a high-throughput array-based dot blotting format. This new strategy exhibited excellent extraction capability from trace body fluids with superior sensitivity (less than 1 μL plasma), good quantitation ability (R2 > 0.99), and high throughput (96 samples in one batch) using clinical plasma samples. The combination of proteomics and ADSP will provide a platform for the discovery and validation of protein biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
Lymph node metastasis is related to poor prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and few studies have explored the relevance of postoperative drainage fluid (PDF) in metastasis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized vesicles that can transfer oncogenic molecules to regulate tumorigenesis. However, the proteomic profile of postoperative drainage fluid-derived EVs (PDF-EVs) in OSCC has not been elucidated. Herein, we collected drainage fluid from OSCC patients after neck dissection to investigate the difference in PDF-EVs between patients with metastatic lymph nodes (the LN+ group) and nonmetastatic lymph nodes (the LN- group). The proteomic profile of PDF-EVs from the LN+ and LN- groups was compared using label-free liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry-based protein quantification. The results revealed that PDF-EVs were mainly derived from epithelial cells and immune cells. A total of 2,134 proteins in the PDF-EVs were identified, and 313 were differentially expressed between the LN+ and LN- groups. Metabolic proteins, such as EHD2 and CAVIN1, were expressed at higher levels in the LN+ group than in the LN- group, and the levels of EHD2 and CAVIN1 in the postoperative drainage fluid were positively correlated with lymph node metastasis. Our study revealed previously undocumented postoperative drainage fluid-associated proteins in patients with metastatic OSCC, providing a starting point for understanding their role in metastatic and nonmetastatic OSCC.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for the most common form of primary liver cancer cases and constitutes a major health problem worldwide. The diagnosis of HCC is still challenging due to the low sensitivity and specificity of the serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) diagnostic method. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heterogeneous populations of phospholipid bilayer-enclosed vesicles that can be found in many biological fluids, and have great potential as circulating biomarkers for biomarker discovery and disease diagnosis. Protein glycosylation plays crucial roles in many biological processes and aberrant glycosylation is a hallmark of cancer. Herein, we performed a comprehensive glycoproteomic profiling of urinary EVs at the intact N-glycopeptide level to screen potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of HCC. With the control of the spectrum-level false discovery rate ≤1%, 756 intact N-glycopeptides with 154 N-glycosites, 158 peptide backbones, and 107 N-glycoproteins were identified. Out of 756 intact N-glycopeptides, 344 differentially expressed intact N-glycopeptides (DEGPs) were identified, corresponding to 308 upregulated and 36 downregulated N-glycopeptides, respectively. Compared to normal control (NC), the glycoproteins LG3BP, PIGR and KNG1 are upregulated in HCC-derived EVs, while ASPP2 is downregulated. The findings demonstrated that specific site-specific glycoforms in these glycoproteins from urinary EVs could be potential and efficient non-invasive candidate biomarkers for HCC diagnosis.

Abstract
Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is an essential cause of young female fertility loss. At present, there are many treatments for primary ovarian insufficiency, but due to the complexity of the pathogenesis of primary ovarian insufficiency, the efficacy still could not be satisfactory. Stem cell transplantation is a feasible intervention protocol for primary ovarian insufficiency. However, its wide application in the clinic is limited by some defects such as tumorigenic and controversial ethical issues. Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent an important mode of intercellular communication attracting increasing interest. It is well documented that stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles for primary ovarian insufficiency with exciting therapeutic effects. Studies have found that stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles could improve ovarian reserve, increase the growth of follicles, reduce follicle atresia, and restore hormone levels of FSH and E2. Its mechanisms include inhibiting ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) apoptosis, reactive oxygen species, and inflammatory response and promoting granulosa cells proliferation and angiogenesis. Thus, stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles are a promising and potential method for primary ovarian insufficiency patients. However, stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles are still a long way from clinical translation. This review will provide an overview of the role and the mechanisms of stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles in primary ovarian insufficiency, and further elaborate on the current challenges. It may suggest new directions for future research.

Abstract
We are currently experiencing a rapidly developing era in terms of translational and clinical medical sciences. The relatively mature state of nucleic acid examination has significantly improved our understanding of disease mechanism and therapeutic potential of personalized treatment, but misses a large portion of phenotypic disease information. Proteins, in particular phosphorylation events that regulates many cellular functions, could provide real-time information for disease onset, progression and treatment efficacy. The technical advances in liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry have realized large-scale and unbiased proteome and phosphoproteome analyses with disease relevant samples such as tissues. However, tissue biopsy still has multiple shortcomings, such as invasiveness of sample collection, potential health risk for patients, difficulty in protein preservation and extreme heterogeneity. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have offered a great promise as a unique source of protein biomarkers for non-invasive liquid biopsy. Membranous EVs provide stable preservation of internal proteins and especially labile phosphoproteins, which is essential for effective routine biomarker detection. To aid efficient EV proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses, recent developments showcase clinically-friendly EV techniques, facilitating diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Ultimately, we envision that with streamlined sample preparation from tissues and EVs proteomics and phosphoproteomics analysis will become routine in clinical settings.

Proteomic profiling of serum extracellular vesicles identifies diagnostic markers for echinococcosis. PLoS Negl Trop Dis 2022; 16:e0010814. [PMID: 36206314 PMCID: PMC9581430 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0010814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by the metacestodes of Echinococcus spp. The disease has a long latent period and is largely underdiagnosed, partially because of the lack of effective early diagnostic approaches. Using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, we profiled the serum-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) of E. multilocularis-infected mice and identified three parasite-origin proteins, thioredoxin peroxidase 1 (TPx-1), transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase (TER ATPase), and 14-3-3, being continuously released by the parasites into the sera during the infection via EVs. Using ELISA, both TPx-1 and TER ATPase were shown to have a good performance in diagnosis of experimental murine echinococcosis as early as 10 days post infection and of human echinococcosis compared with that of control. Moreover, TER ATPase and TPx-1 were further demonstrated to be suitable for evaluation of the prognosis of patients with treatment. The present study discovers the potential of TER ATPase and TPx-1 as promising diagnostic candidates for echinococcosis. Echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease, is one of the neglected zoonotic diseases. Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus sensu latu are the causative agents responsible for alveolar echinococcosis and cystic echinococcosis, respectively. Alveolar echinococcosis is mainly endemic in the areas of the northern hemisphere, whereas cystic echinococcosis has a worldwide distribution. The disease has a long latent period of up to 5 to 10 years and is largely underdiagnosed, partially due to the lack of effective early diagnostic approaches. In recent years, an emerging role of EVs in intercellular communication and diagnosis has been recognized. Here, we employed a proteomic approach to identify parasite-derived proteins in the serum EVs from E. multilocularis-infected mice and assessed their diagnostic values. This study signify the role of EVs for the identification of diagnostic candidates by the discovery of two identified proteins, TER ATPas and TPX-1. First results indicate their diagnostic and prognostic values in experimental murine and human echinococcosis.

[PMID: 36277408 PMCID: PMC9582455 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.1011851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Protein phosphorylation and glycosylation coordinately regulate numerous complex biological processes. However, the main methods to simultaneously enrich them are based on the coordination interactions or Lewis acid-base interactions, which suffer from low coverage of target molecules due to strong intermolecular interactions. Here, we constructed a poly-histidine modified silica (SiO2@Poly-His) microspheres-based method for the simultaneous enrichment, sequential elution and analysis of phosphopeptides and glycopeptides. The SiO2@Poly-His microspheres driven by hydrophilic interactions and multiple hydrogen bonding interactions exhibited high selectivity and coverage for simultaneous enrichment of phosphopeptides and glycopeptides from 1,000 molar folds of bovine serum albumin interference. Furthermore, “on-line deglycosylation” strategy allows sequential elution of phosphopeptides and glycopeptides, protecting phosphopeptides from hydrolysis during deglycosylation and improving the coverage of phosphopeptides. The application of our established method to HT29 cell lysates resulted in a total of 1,601 identified glycopeptides and 694 identified phosphopeptides, which were 1.2-fold and 1.5-fold higher than those obtained from the co-elution strategy, respectively. The SiO2@Poly-His based simultaneous enrichment and sequential separation strategy might have great potential in co-analysis of PTMs-proteomics of biological and clinic samples.

Abstract
Blood vessels deliver oxygen and nutrients that sustain tumor growth and enable the dissemination of cancer cells to distant sites and the recruitment of intratumoral immune cells. In addition, the structural and functional abnormalities of the tumor vasculature foster the development of an aggressive tumor microenvironment and impair the efficacy of existing cancer therapies. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as major players of tumor progression, and a growing body of evidence has demonstrated that EVs derived from cancer cells trigger multiple responses in endothelial cells that alter blood vessel function in tumors. EV-mediated signaling in endothelial cells can occur through the transfer of functional cargos such as miRNAs, lncRNAs, cirRNAs, and proteins. Moreover, membrane-bound proteins in EVs can elicit receptor-mediated signaling in endothelial cells. Together, these mechanisms reprogram endothelial cells and contribute to the sustained exacerbated angiogenic signaling typical of tumors, which, in turn, influences cancer progression. Targeting these angiogenesis-promoting EV-dependent mechanisms may offer additional strategies to normalize tumor vasculature. Here, we discuss the current knowledge pertaining to the contribution of cancer cell-derived EVs in mechanisms regulating blood vessel functions in tumors. Moreover, we discuss the translational opportunities in targeting the dysfunctional tumor vasculature using EVs and highlight the open questions in the field of EV biology that can be addressed using mass spectrometry-based proteomics analysis.

Abstract
Phosphorylation regulates the functions of proteins and aberrant phosphorylation often leads to a variety of diseases, including cancers. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important messengers in the microenvironment and their proteome contributes to cancer genesis and metastasis, while the kinases that driving EVs proteins' phosphorylation are less known. Clinical tissue samples from 13 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were utilized to isolate cancer EVs and adjacent normal EVs. Through quantitative phosphoproteomics analysis, 2473 phosphorylation sites on 1567 proteins were successfully identified and quantified. Accordingly, 152 kinases were identified, and 25 of them were differentially expressed. Based on Tied Diffusion through Interacting Events (TieDIE) algorithm, we integrated genomic and transcriptomic data sets of NSCLC from TCGA with our phosphoproteome data set to construct signaling networks. Through database integration and multiomics enrichment analysis, a compact network of 234 nodes with 1599 edges was constructed, which consisted of 34 transcription factors, 33 kinases, 63 aberrant genes, and 172 linking proteins. Rarely studied phosphorylation sites were specifically enriched. Key phosphoproteins of network nodes were validated in patients' EVs, including MAPK6S189 , IKBKES172 , SRCY530 , CDK7S164 , and CDK1T14 . These networks depict intrinsic signal-regulation derived from EVs' phosphoproteins, providing a comprehensive and pathway-based strategy for in-depth lung cancer research.

Abstract
PURPOSE SORAMIC is a randomized controlled trial in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing sorafenib ± selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT). We investigated the value of extracellular vesicle (EV)-based proteomics for treatment response prediction. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The analysis population comprised 25 patients receiving SIRT+sorafenib and 20 patients receiving sorafenib alone. Patients were classified as responders or nonresponders based on changes in AFP and imaging or overall survival. Proteomic analysis was performed on plasma EVs by LC/MS, followed by bioinformatics analysis. Clinical relevance of candidate EV proteins was validated by survival and receiver-operating characteristic analysis with bootstrap internal sampling validation. Origin of circulating EV was explored by IHC staining of liver and tumor tissues and transcriptomics of blood cells. RESULTS Proteomic analysis identified 56 and 27 EV proteins that were differentially expressed in plasma EVs between responders and nonresponders receiving SIRT+sorafenib and sorafenib alone, respectively. High EV-GPX3/ACTR3 and low EV-ARHGAP1 were identified as candidate biomarkers at baseline from the 13 responders to SIRT+sorafenib with statistically significant AUC = 1 for all and bootstrap P values 2.23 × 10-5, 2.22 × 10-5, and 2.23 × 10-5, respectively. These patients showed reduced abundance of EV-VPS13A and EV-KALRN 6 to 9 weeks after combined treatment with significant AUC and bootstrap P values. In reverse, low GPX3 and high ARHGAP1 demonstrated better response to sorafenib monotherapy with AUC = 0.9697 and 0.9192 as well as bootstrap P values 8.34 × 10-5 and 7.98 × 10-4, respectively. HCC tumor was the likely origin of circulating EVs. CONCLUSIONS In this exploratory study, EV-based proteomics predicted response to SIRT+sorafenib and sorafenib-only treatment in patients with advanced HCC of metabolic origin.

Integrative Multi-Omics Analysis for the Determination of Non-Muscle Invasive vs. Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: A Pilot Study. CURRENT ONCOLOGY (TORONTO, ONT.) 2022; 29:5442-5456. [PMID: 36005168 PMCID: PMC9406560 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol29080430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 07/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Objectives: The molecular landscape of non-muscle-invasive (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive (MIBC) bladder cancer based on molecular characteristics is essential but poorly understood. In this pilot study we aimed to identify a multi-omics signature that can distinguish MIBC from NMIBC. Such a signature can assist in finding potential mechanistic biomarkers and druggable targets. Methods: Patients diagnosed with NMIBC (n = 15) and MIBC (n = 11) were recruited at a tertiary-care hospital in Nanjing from 1 April 2021, and 31 July 2021. Blood, urine and stool samples per participant were collected, in which the serum metabolome, urine metabolome, gut microbiome, and serum extracellular vesicles (EV) proteome were quantified. The differences of the global profiles and individual omics measure between NMIBC vs. MIBC were assessed by permutational multivariate analysis and the Mann–Whitney test, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association of each identified analyte with NMIBC vs. MIBC, and the Spearman correlation was used to investigate the correlations between identified analytes, where both were adjusted for age, sex and smoking status. Results: Among 3168 multi-omics measures that passed the quality control, 159 were identified to be differentiated in NMIBC vs. MIBC. Of these, 46 analytes were associated with bladder cancer progression. In addition, the global profiles showed significantly different urine metabolome (p = 0.029), gut microbiome (p = 0.036), and serum EV (extracellular vesicles) proteome (p = 0.039) but not serum metabolome (p = 0.059). We also observed 17 (35%) analytes that had been developed as drug targets. Multiple interactions were obtained between the identified analytes, whereas for the majority (61%), the number of interactions was at 11–20. Moreover, unconjugated bilirubin (p = 0.009) and white blood cell count (p = 0.006) were also shown to be different in NMIBC and MIBC, and associated with 11 identified omics analytes. Conclusions: The pilot study has shown promising to monitor the progression of bladder cancer by integrating multi-omics data and deserves further investigations.

[PMID: 35628588 PMCID: PMC9147902 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23105779] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2022] [Revised: 05/14/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to define the proteomic and phosphoproteomic landscape of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) in people with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), prediabetes (PDM), and diabetes (T2DM). Archived serum samples from 30 human subjects (n = 10 per group, ORIGINS study, NCT02226640) were used. EVs were isolated using EVtrap®. Mass spectrometry-based methods were used to detect the global EV proteome and phosphoproteome. Differentially expressed features, correlation, enriched pathways, and enriched tissue-specific protein sets were identified using custom R scripts. Phosphosite-centric analyses were conducted using directPA and PhosR software packages. A total of 2372 unique EV proteins and 716 unique EV phosphoproteins were identified among all samples. Unsupervised clustering of the differentially expressed (fold change ≥ 2, p < 0.05, FDR < 0.05) proteins and, particularly, phosphoproteins showed excellent discrimination among the three groups. CDK1 and PKCδ appear to drive key upstream phosphorylation events that define the phosphoproteomic signatures of PDM and T2DM. Circulating EVs from people with diabetes carry increased levels of specific phosphorylated kinases (i.e., AKT1, GSK3B, LYN, MAP2K2, MYLK, and PRKCD) and could potentially distribute activated kinases systemically. Among characteristic changes in the PDM and T2DM EVs, “integrin switching” appeared to be a central feature. Proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), known to be reduced in various tissues in diabetes, were significantly increased in EVs from PDM and T2DM, which suggests that an abnormally elevated EV-mediated secretion of OXPHOS components may underlie the development of diabetes. A highly enriched signature of liver-specific markers among the downregulated EV proteins and phosphoproteins in both PDM and T2DM groups was also detected. This suggests that an alteration in liver EV composition and/or secretion may occur early in prediabetes. This study identified EV proteomic and phosphoproteomic signatures in people with prediabetes and T2DM and provides novel insight into the pathobiology of diabetes.

Abstract
During the last decade, there has been great interest in elucidating the biological role of extracellular vesicles (EVs), particularly, their hormone-like role in cell-to-cell communication. The field of endocrinology is uniquely placed to provide insight into the functions of EVs, which are secreted from all cells into biological fluids and carry endocrine signals to engage in paracellular and distal interactions. EVs are a heterogeneous population of membrane-bound vesicles of varying size, content, and bioactivity. EVs are specifically packaged with signaling molecules, including lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, and are released via exocytosis into biofluid compartments. EVs regulate the activity of both proximal and distal target cells, including translational activity, metabolism, growth, and development. As such, EVs signaling represents an integral pathway mediating intercellular communication. Moreover, as the content of EVs is cell-type specific, it is a "fingerprint" of the releasing cell and its metabolic status. Recently, changes in the profile of EV and bioactivity have been described in several endocrine-related conditions including diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. The goal of this statement is to highlight relevant aspects of EV research and their potential role in the field of endocrinology.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation governs key physiological and pathological processes in human cells. Aberrant glycosylation is thus closely associated with disease progression. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based glycoproteomics has emerged as an indispensable tool for investigating glycosylation changes in biological samples with high sensitivity. Following rapid improvements in methodologies for reliable intact glycopeptide identification, site-specific quantification of glycopeptide macro- and micro-heterogeneity at the proteome scale has become an urgent need for exploring glycosylation regulations. Here, we summarize recent advances in N- and O-linked glycoproteomic quantification strategies and discuss their limitations. We further describe a strategy to propagate MS data for multilayered glycopeptide quantification, enabling a more comprehensive examination of global and site-specific glycosylation changes. Altogether, we show how quantitative glycoproteomics methods explore glycosylation regulation in human diseases and promote the discovery of biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Exosomes play an irreplaceable role in physiological and pathological processes, and the study of proteomics (especially protein post-translational modifications, PTMs) in exosomes can reveal the pathogenesis of diseases and screen therapeutic disease targets. The separation and enrichment process is an essential step in mass spectroscopy-based exosomal PTMs studies to reduce sample complexity and ionization-suppression effects. Herein, we designed a novel magnetic zwitterionic material, namely glutathione-functionalized thioether covalent organic frameworks (Fe3O4@Thio-COF@Au@GSH), possessing fast magnetic responsiveness, regular porosity, and a suitable surface area. Thanks to the hydrophilicity and charge-switchable feature of GSH, for the first time, both the capture of exosomes from biological fluids and enrichment of the inherent glycoproteins/phosphoproteins in the exosomes were achieved with the same material. Furthermore, the high enrichment capacity was validated by theoretical calculations. The low detection limits (0.2/0.4 fmol for HRP/β-casein), high selectivity (1 : 1000 for HRP/β-casein : BSA molar ratio), and high exosomal glycoproteomics/phosphoproteomics profiling capability proved the feasibility of the developed method. This work provides a new heuristic strategy to solve the problems of exosomal capture and glycoproteins/phosphoproteins pretreatment in exosomal proteomics.

Abstract
A successful phosphoproteomics analysis of extracellular vesicles (EVs) requires a unique approach, fine-tuned to address the challenges that have plagued plasma-based biomarker discovery. Here, I detail a procedure, which combines EVtrap-based high-recovery EV isolation, phase-transfer surfactant method for protein extraction, and PolyMAC-based enrichment of phosphopeptides. The combination of these methods provides a highly effective strategy for EV-based phosphoproteome analysis and leads to the discovery of novel phospho-markers previously undetectable.

Abstract
Background: CircRNA has appeared as a critical molecular in the development of various cancers. However, the cellular function of circRNAs and exosomal circRNAs has not been well explored in Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Methods: Differentially expressed circRNAs were identified by a human circRNA microarray analysis. The expression of hsa_circ_0058493 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and exosomes was verified using quantitative real-time PCR. Short hairpin RNAs against hsa_circ_0058493 were constructed to silence the expression of circ_0058493. CCK8, flow cytometry and EdU assay were performed to investigate the biological functions of circ_0058493. Results: Hsa_circ_0058493 was significantly overexpressed in the PBMCs of CML patients and high level of circ_0058493 was associated with the poor clinical efficacy of imatinib. Silencing the expression of circ_0058493 significantly inhibited the development of imatinib-resistant CML cells. miR-548b-3p was overexpressed in circ_0058493-downregulated CML cells. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that circ_0058493 might exert its regulatory function acting as a "sponge" of miR-548b-3p. Moreover, hsa_circ_0058493 was significantly enriched in the exosomes derived from imatinib-resistant CML cells. Conclusion: Hsa_circ_0058493 in PBMCs could be a promising prognostic biomarker and might provide a therapeutic target for CML treatment.

Abstract
An emerging inference is that vascular cells transfer their biological cargo to recipient cells by secretion of extracellular vesicles (EVs). This study explored the effects of EVs produced from VSMCs with Ang II (EVs-A) or LSW + Ang II on HUVECs. The EVs-A increase ROS production, activate inflammation, and upregulate the expression of adhesion molecules. Among the EVs-A, miR-22, miR-143, miR-144, and miR-155 were significantly downregulated, while VSMCs pre-incubated with LSW could produce improved EVs. RNA sequencing revealed differential expression of genes associated with endothelial dysfunction, including the TNF signaling pathway, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, NF-κB signaling pathway, and fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis pathway. Finally, we found that LSW could improve endothelial function by repairing the expression of miRNAs in VSMCs. It also suggests a potential mechanism for the injury action of endogenous peptide Ang II and protective effects of exogenous peptide LSW on vascular endothelial cells.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized lipid-bound particles containing proteins, nucleic acids and metabolites released by cells. They have been identified in body fluids including blood, saliva, sputum and pleural effusions. In tumors, EVs derived from cancer and immune cells mediate intercellular communication and exchange, and can affect immunomodulatory functions. In the context of lung cancer, emerging evidence implicates EV involvement during various stages of tumor development and progression, including angiogenesis, epithelial to mesenchymal transformation, immune system suppression, metastasis and drug resistance. Additionally, tumor-derived EVs (TDEs) have potential as a liquid biopsy source and as a means of therapeutic targeting, and there is considerable interest in developing clinical applications for EVs in these contexts. In this review, we consider the biogenesis, components, biological functions and isolation methods of EVs, and the implications for their clinical utility for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in lung cancer.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation and glycosylation, which are closely related to various diseases, have been extensively studied recently. Mass spectrometry (MS) based phosphoproteomics and glycoproteomics analysis rely heavily on the pre-treatment. Due to the differences in enrichment conditions, there are still huge challenges in designing and preparing a single affinity material to achieve efficient simultaneous capture and elution of phosphopeptides and glycopeptides. Herein, a novel magnetic covalent organic framework, which was modified with functional molecule 4-(3-(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl)-ureido)benzoic acid (MUBA), was designed as a bifunctional enrichment platform for glycopeptides and phosphopeptides. Thanks to the multiple hydrogen bonding interactions between MUBA and hydrogen phosphates, the material possessed excellent enrichment performance for phosphopeptides. In addition, the hydrophilicity of the COF structure and modified molecules endowed this material recognition capability towards glycopeptides based on hydrophilic interaction chromatography. Combining with the inherent properties of COF structure, the established platform achieved simultaneous enrichment of phosphopeptides and glycopeptides with excellent selectivity (1:1:1000 M ratio of α-casein/IgG/BSA), high sensitivity (0.05 fmol/μL α-casein; 0.05 fmol/μL IgG), and good size-exclusion effect (α-casein digests/IgG digests/BSA, 1:1:500). More excitingly, the method was used for the identification of glycopeptides and phosphopeptides from rat liver tissue and the exosomes extracted from liver cancer patients' plasma, proving its specific phosphoproteomics and glycoproteomics study in complex biosamples.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary sarcoma of bone among adolescents, often characterized by early lung metastasis resulting in high mortality. Recently, exosomes have been used in liquid biopsy to monitor tumors. Herein, we used matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to profile human plasma exosomes for the evaluation of osteosarcoma lung metastasis. Forty patients with osteosarcoma with (n = 20) or without (n = 20) lung metastasis as well as 12 heathy controls were recruited. Exosomes were isolated from human plasma for MALDI-TOF MS analysis. Multivariate statistical analyses were performed based on the MALDI-TOF mass spectra. The strategy can efficiently differentiate osteosarcomas from healthy controls and further discriminate osteosarcoma lung metastasis from non-lung metastasis. We identified seven exosomal proteins as potential biomarkers of osteosarcoma lung metastasis. The proposed method holds great promise to clinically diagnose osteosarcoma and monitor osteosarcoma lung metastasis.

Abstract
Revealing the relationship between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and levels of protein phosphorylation is of great significance for understanding the pathogenesis of diseases. Although mass spectrometry is used as a classical method for protein phosphorylation analysis, there are still some challenges to realize in vivo protein phosphorylation recognition. Herein, we designed and prepared an metal-organic framework (MOF)-based fluorescent nanoprobe with Zr(IV) and boronate ester as an active center, which achieved simultaneous recognition of ROS and phosphorylation sites. The ROS unit was constructed by 1,8-naphthalimide and boronate ester as a fluorophore and a recognition group, respectively. The specific interaction between Zr(IV) and a phosphate group was used to realize fluorescence imaging of phosphorylation sites. Using the advantages of two-photon property of the ROS recognition unit, the nanoprobe can effectively reduce the background fluorescence and thus improve the imaging sensitivity. Finally, the MOF-based nanoprobe was successfully applied to reveal the relationship between ROS and levels of phosphorylation in pneumonia mice, which illustrated that the ROS and phosphorylation levels in the process of pulmonary inflammation were obviously higher than those of the normal mice. This work provides feasible fluorescence tools that have important significance for revealing pathogenesis of diseases.

Abstract
Post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins allows cells to regulate protein functions, transduce signals and respond to perturbations. PTMs expand protein functionality and diversity, which leads to increased proteome complexity. PTM crosstalk describes the combinatorial action of multiple PTMs on the same or on different proteins for higher order regulation. Here we review how recent advances in proteomic technologies, mass spectrometry instrumentation, and bioinformatics spurred the proteome-wide identification of PTM crosstalk through measurements of PTM sites. We provide an overview of the basic modes of PTM crosstalk, the proteomic methods to elucidate PTM crosstalk, and approaches that can inform about the functional consequences of PTM crosstalk. Description of basic modules and different modes of PTM crosstalk. Overview of current proteomic methods to identify and infer PTM crosstalk. Discussion of large-scale approaches to characterize functional PTM crosstalk. Future directions and potential proteomic methods for elucidating PTM crosstalk.

Abstract
The tyrosine residue of proteins participates in a wide range of activities including enzymatic catalysis, protein-protein interaction, and protein-ligand binding. However, the functional annotation of the tyrosine residues on a large scale is still very challenging. Here, we report a novel method integrating azo coupling, bioorthogonal chemistry, and multiplexed proteomics to globally investigate the tyrosine reactivity in the human proteome. Based on the azo-coupling reaction between aryl diazonium salt and the tyrosine residue, two different probes were evaluated, and the probe with the best performance was employed to further study the tyrosine residues in the human proteome. Then, tagged tyrosine-containing peptides were selectively enriched using bioorthogonal chemistry, and after the cleavage, a small tag on the peptides perfectly fits for site-specific analysis by MS. Coupling with multiplexed proteomics, we quantified over 5000 tyrosine sites in MCF7 cells, and these quantified sites displayed a wide range of reactivity. The tyrosine residues with high reactivity were found on functionally and structurally diverse proteins, including those with the catalytic activity and binding property. This method can be extensively applied to advance our understanding of protein functions and facilitate the development of covalent drugs to regulate protein activity.

Abstract
Pre-enrichment of the biological samples is a crucial step in phosphoproteomics research. At present, metal-oxide affinity chromatography (MOAC) is one of the most recognized enrichment strategy. Therefore, the design and preparation of a MOAC-based affinity material with better enrichment properties will be of great significance for the phosphoproteomics study. In this work, we obtained a novel multivariate metal-oxide microsphere (NiFe2O4@C@TiO2) with a hollow and hierarchical porous structure through pyrolysis of TiO2-modified Fe/Ni-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). After pyrolysis, the carbon matrix derived from the MOFs provided support and porous properties. Meanwhile, multivariate metal oxides endowed the microspheres with an excellent magnetic response property and superior enrichment performance for phosphorylated biomolecules. The unique hollow and hierarchical porous structure greatly enhanced the diffusion of phosphorylated biomolecules. Therefore, the microspheres exhibited excellent enrichment performance for phosphorylated biomolecules: a large adsorption capacity (124 μmol g-1), excellent selectivity (α-casein/BSA, 1:5000, m/m), perfect size-exclusion performance (α-casein digests/α-casein/BSA, 1:500:500), and extremely low detection limit (2 fmol). Furthermore, the microspheres showed excellent enrichment performance in a series of real biological samples, such as nonfat milk, serum, saliva, rat brain tissue, and plasma exosomes of patients with esophageal cancer, which further demonstrated its huge application potential in MS-based phosphoproteomics research.

Abstract
Exosomes, a class of small extracellular vesicles (30-150 nm), are secreted by almost all types of cells into virtually all body fluids. These small vesicles are attracting increasing research attention owing to their potential for disease diagnosis and therapy. However, their inherent heterogeneity and the complexity of bio-fluids pose significant challenges for their isolation. Even the "gold standard," differential centrifugation, suffers from poor yields and is time-consuming. In this context, recent developments in microfluidic technologies have provided an ideal system for exosome extraction and these devices exhibit some fascinating properties such as high speeds, good portability, and low sample volumes. In this review, the focus is on the state-of-the-art microfluidic technologies for exosome isolation and highlight potential directions for future research and development by analyzing the challenges faced by the current strategies.

Abstract
Simultaneous enrichment and fractionation of diverse proteins/peptides possessing different post-translational modifications (PTMs) from the same biological samples is highly desirable to reduce sample consumption, avoid complicated sample processing, and enable studies of potential crosstalks between different PTMs. In this work, we report a new approach to enable simultaneous enrichment and separation of glycopeptides, phosphopeptides, and mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) glycopeptides by using a dual-functional Ti(IV)-IMAC material. Moreover, we also made the separation of neutral and sialyl glycopeptides and mono- and multi-phosphopeptides possible by performing different elution processes according to the differences in their electrostatic or hydrophilic properties. These separations are effective and efficient to eliminate the signal suppression from neutral glycopeptides for sialyl glycopeptide detection, allowing separation of mono-phosphopeptides from multi-phosphopeptides, as well as detection of M6P glycopeptides that are free from the abovementioned modifications. This new strategy significantly improves the coverage and identification numbers of glycopeptides, phosphopeptides, and M6P glycopeptides by 1.9, 2.3, and 4.3-fold compared with the conventional method, respectively. This is the first report on simultaneous enrichment and separation of neutral and sialyl glycopeptides, mono- and multi-phosphopeptides, and M6P glycopeptides via dual-functional Ti(IV)- IMAC, revealing novel insights into potential crosstalk among these important PTMs.

Abstract
Cancer therapeutic strategies include surgeries, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapies. However, current cancer treatment still faces challenges such as postoperative residuals, postoperative recurrence, chemoradiotherapy resistance and lack of drugs with high specificity, due to the complexity of the cancer environment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid-capsuled membrane vesicles secreted from cells, communicating vital messages between cells and regarding function in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Investigation of compositions and functions of EVs may open unprecedented, promising avenues for cancer therapeutics. This review brings new perspectives from both researchers and clinicians in the EV field, emphasizing the ties between basic research and ongoing clinical trials. In sum, our review summarizes the roles EVs play in cancer therapy, ranging from mechanisms to applications in cancer treatment. In particular, it focuses on their therapeutic potential with an eye toward clinical relevance.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale vesicles with a phospholipid bilayer. In the past few decades, EVs have gained more and more attention, which is attributed to their important roles in cell-to-cell communication. They are regarded as promising sources for disease biomarkers and have been explored for applications in early-stage diagnostics, monitoring of disease status, therapeutics and drug delivery. Nevertheless, EVs are a heterogeneous group of vesicles, and include two predominant classes: exosomes and microvesicles. The origins of these vesicles are diverse, which determines their differences in features and functions. To study the diversity of these EV subpopulations, it is essential to elucidate their compositions including proteins, metabolites, etc. Here, we presented a tandem extraction method to obtain metabolites and proteins from the same batch of EVs simultaneously, enabling a multi-omics differential analysis of exosomes and microvesicles in human plasma. As a result, we found 112 different proteins and 50 different metabolites between exosomes and microvesicles, demonstrating the diversity of these EV subpopulations. Furthermore, compared with human plasma, these two major classes of EVs showed distinct metabolome features, which indicated the necessity of analysing the metabolites derived from EVs to obtain a more comprehensive profile of the plasma metabolome, and the potential of EVs as important sources for biomarker screening.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide. It is associated with significant increases in morbidity in the form of stroke and heart failure, and a doubling in all-cause mortality. The pathophysiology of AF is incompletely understood, and this has contributed to a lack of effective treatments and disease-modifying therapies. An important cellular process that may explain how risk factors give rise to AF includes post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins. As the most commonly occurring PTM, protein phosphorylation is especially relevant. Although many methods exist for studying protein phosphorylation, a common and highly resolute technique is mass spectrometry (MS). This review will discuss recent evidence surrounding the role of protein phosphorylation in the pathogenesis of AF. MS-based technology to study phosphorylation and uses of MS in other areas of medicine such as oncology will also be presented. Based on these data, future goals and experiments will be outlined that utilize MS technology to better understand the role of phosphorylation in AF and elucidate its role in AF pathophysiology. This may ultimately allow for the development of more effective AF therapies.

Abstract
The prevention and control of infectious diseases is crucial to the maintenance and protection of social and public healthcare. The global impact of SARS-CoV-2 has demonstrated how outbreaks of emerging and re-emerging infections can lead to pandemics of significant public health and socio-economic burden. Vaccination is one of the most effective approaches to protect against infectious diseases, and to date, multiple vaccines have been successfully used to protect against and eradicate both viral and bacterial pathogens. The main criterion of vaccine efficacy is the induction of specific humoral and cellular immune responses, and it is well established that immunogenicity depends on the type of vaccine as well as the route of delivery. In addition, antigen delivery to immune organs and the site of injection can potentiate efficacy of the vaccine. In light of this, microvesicles have been suggested as potential vehicles for antigen delivery as they can carry various immunogenic molecules including proteins, nucleic acids and polysaccharides directly to target cells. In this review, we focus on the mechanisms of microvesicle biogenesis and the role of microvesicles in infectious diseases. Further, we discuss the application of microvesicles as a novel and effective vaccine delivery system.

Abstract
Glycosylation is a prevalent, yet heterogeneous modification with a broad range of implications in molecular biology. This heterogeneity precludes enrichment strategies that can be universally beneficial for all glycan classes. Thus, choice of enrichment strategy has profound implications on experimental outcomes. Here we review common enrichment strategies used in modern mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomic experiments, including lectins and other affinity chromatographies, hydrophilic interaction chromatography and its derivatives, porous graphitic carbon, reversible and irreversible chemical coupling strategies, and chemical biology tools that often leverage bioorthogonal handles. Interest in glycoproteomics continues to surge as mass spectrometry instrumentation and software improve, so this review aims to help equip researchers with the necessary information to choose appropriate enrichment strategies that best complement these efforts.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is a common disorder of vascular homeostasis in hypertension characterized by oxidative stress, malignant migration, inflammatory response, and active adhesion response of endothelial cells. The extracellular vesicles (EVs), a vital participant in vascular cell communication, have been considered responsible for vascular disease progression. However, the potential mechanism of antihypertensive peptides against the EVs-induced endothelial dysfunction is still unclear. In this study, we investigated whether the antihypertensive peptides Val-Pro-Pro (VPP) and Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP) ameliorate the effects of EVs from Ang II-induced vascular smooth muscles (VSMCs) on the endothelial dysfunction. The dihydroethidium staining, wound healing assay, 3D cell culture, and co-culture with U937 monocyte were used to investigate the oxidant/antioxidant balance, migration, tube formation, and cell adhesion in EV-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells. VPP and IPP treatment reduced the level of reactive oxygen species and EV-induced expression of adhesion molecules and restored the ability of tube formation by upregulating endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression. VPP and IPP reduced the protein levels of IL-6 to 227.34 ± 10.56 and 273.84 ± 22.28 pg/mL, of IL-1β protein to 131.56 ± 23.18 and 221.14 ± 13.8 pg/mL, and of MCP-1 to 301.48 ± 19.75 and 428.68 ± 9.59 pg/mL. These results suggested that the VPP and IPP are potential agents that can improve the endothelial dysfunction caused by EVs from Ang II-induced VSMCs.

Abstract
Understanding the cellular processes is central to comprehend disease conditions and is also true for cancer research. Proteomic studies provide significant insight into cancer mechanisms and aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. Phosphoproteome is one of the most studied complements of the whole proteome given its importance in the understanding of cellular processes such as signaling and regulations. Over the last decade, several new methods have been developed for phosphoproteome analysis. A significant amount of these efforts pertains to cancer research. The current use of powerful analytical instruments in phosphoproteomic approaches has paved the way for deeper and sensitive investigations. However, these methods and techniques need further improvements to deal with challenges posed by the complexity of samples and scarcity of phosphoproteins in the whole proteome, throughput and reproducibility. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the variety of steps used in phosphoproteomic methods applied in cancer research including the enrichment and fractionation strategies. This will allow researchers to evaluate and choose a better combination of steps for their phosphoproteome studies.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are attracting increasing interest with their intriguing role in intercellular communications. Protein phosphorylation in EVs is of great importance for understanding intercellular signaling processes. However, the study of EV phosphoproteomics is impeded by their relatively low amount in limited clinical sample volumes, and it is necessary to have a sensitive and efficient enrichment method for EV phosphopeptides. Herein, a novel Ti(IV)-functionalized and glass fiber-supported hybrid monolithic spin tip, termed PhosTip, was prepared for enriching phosphopeptides from urinary EVs. Glass fiber as the stationary phase positions the hybrid monolith in a standard pipet tip and prevents the monolith from distortion during experiments. The preparation procedure for the new PhosTip is simple and time-saving. The hybrid monolithic PhosTip provides excellent enrichment efficiency of low-abundance phosphopeptides from cell digests and urinary EVs with minimum contamination and sample loss. Using the PhosTip, we demonstrate that 5373 and 336 unique phosphopeptides were identified from 100 and 1 μg of cell lysates, while 3919 and 217 unique phosphopeptides were successfully identified from 10 and 1 mL of urinary samples, respectively. The PhosTip was finally applied to enrich phosphopeptides in urine EVs from prostate cancer patients and healthy controls and quantify 118 up-regulated proteins with phosphosites in prostate cancer samples. These results demonstrated that the PhosTip could be a simple and convenient tool for enriching phosphopeptides from clinical samples and for broader applications in biomarker discovery.
