Abstract
Extrinsic and intrinsic pathological stimuli in vascular disorders induce DNA methylation based epigenetic reprogramming in endothelial cells, which leads to perturbed gene expression and subsequently results in endothelial dysfunction (ED). ED is also characterized by release of exosomes with altered proteome leading to paracrine interactions in vasculature and subsequently contributing to manifestation, progression and severity of vascular complications. However, epigenetic regulation of exosome proteome is not known. Hence, our present study aimed to understand influence of DNA methylation on exosome proteome composition and their influence on endothelial cell (EC) function. DNMT isoforms (DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B) were overexpressed using lentivirus in ECs. Exosomes were isolated and characterized from ECs overexpressing DNMT isoforms and C57BL/6 mice plasma treated with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine. 3D spheroid assay was performed to understand the influence of exosomes derived from cells overexpressing DNMTs on EC functions. Further, the exosomes were subjected to TMT labelled proteomics analysis followed by validation. 3D spheroid assay showed increase in the pro-angiogenic activity in response to exosomes derived from DNMT overexpressing cells which was impeded by inclusion of 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine. Our results showed that exosome proteome and PTMs were significantly modulated and were associated with dysregulation of vascular homeostasis, metabolism, inflammation and endothelial cell functions. In vitro and in vivo validation showed elevated DNMT1 and TGF-β1 exosome proteins due to DNMT1 and DNMT3A overexpression, but not DNMT3B which was mitigated by 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine indicating epigenetic regulation. Further, exosomes induced ED as evidenced by reduced expression of phospho-eNOSser1177. Our study unveils epigenetically regulated exosome proteins, aiding management of vascular complications.

Mass spectrometry-based proteomic profiling of extracellular vesicle proteins in diabetic and non-diabetic ischemic stroke patients: a case-control study. Front Mol Biosci 2024; 11:1387859. [PMID: 38948080 PMCID: PMC11211575 DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2024.1387859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke is the most common cause of neurologic dysfunction caused by focal brain ischemia and tissue injury. Diabetes is a major risk factor of stroke, exacerbating disease management and prognosis. Therefore, discovering new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets is critical for stroke prevention and treatment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), with their distinctive properties, have emerged as promising candidates for biomarker discovery and therapeutic application. This case-control study utilized mass spectrometry-based proteomics to compare EVs from non-diabetic stroke (nDS = 14), diabetic stroke (DS = 13), and healthy control (HC = 12) subjects. Among 1288 identified proteins, 387 were statistically compared. Statistical comparisons using a general linear model (log2 foldchange ≥0.58 and FDR-p≤0.05) were performed for nDS vs HC, DS vs HC, and DS vs nDS. DS vs HC and DS vs nDS comparisons produced 123 and 149 differentially expressed proteins, respectively. Fibrinogen gamma chain (FIBG), Fibrinogen beta chain (FIBB), Tetratricopeptide repeat protein 16 (TTC16), Proline rich 14-like (PR14L), Inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit epsilon (IKKE), Biorientation of chromosomes in cell division protein 1-like 1 (BD1L1), and protein PR14L exhibited significant differences in the DS group. The pathway analysis revealed that the complement system pathways were activated, and blood coagulation and neuroprotection were inhibited in the DS group (z-score ≥2; p ≤ 0.05). These findings underscore the potential of EVs proteomics in identifying biomarkers for stroke management and prevention, warranting further clinical investigation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify serum diagnostic biomarkers associated with the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during pregnancy. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in the control (C), mild (O), and moderate (MO) OSA groups (n = 3 in each group). Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to identify the underlying functions, pathways, and networks of the proteins. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to assess the diagnostic value of the identified DEPs. The enzyme-linked immunoassay was performed to detect serum levels of the complement C1r subcomponent (C1R) and alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) in 79 pregnant women with OSA (mild OSA [n = 32]; moderate OSA [n = 29], and severe OSA [n = 18]) and 65 healthy pregnant women without OSA. Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted to analyze the correlation between C1R and A2M levels and OSA clinicopathological factors. In total, 141 DEPs, 29 DEPs, and 103 DEPs were identified in the three groups (i.e., the mild OSA vs control group, the moderate OSA vs mild apnea group, and the moderate OSA vs control group, respectively). C1R and A2M were identified as continuously up-regulated proteins, and the levels of C1R and A2M were associated with OSA severity. C1R and A2M were found to be correlated with body mass index, systolic blood pressure, apnea-hypopnea index, oxygen desaturation index, time with saturation below 90%, and lowest SaO2. Adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes were observed in pregnant women with OSA. C1R and A2M have been identified as diagnostic biomarkers and are associated with the severity of OSA during pregnancy.

Abstract
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is currently recognized as a life-threatening disease, leading to an exponential increase in morbidity and mortality worldwide. At present, AKI is characterized by a significant increase in serum creatinine (SCr) levels, typically followed by a sudden drop in glomerulus filtration rate (GFR). Changes in urine output are usually associated with the renal inability to excrete urea and other nitrogenous waste products, causing extracellular volume and electrolyte imbalances. Several molecular mechanisms were proposed to be affiliated with AKI development and progression, ultimately involving renal epithelium tubular cell-cycle arrest, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, the inability to recover and regenerate proximal tubules, and impaired endothelial function. Diagnosis and prognosis using state-of-the-art clinical markers are often late and provide poor outcomes at disease onset. Inappropriate clinical assessment is a strong disease contributor, actively driving progression towards end stage renal disease (ESRD). Proteins, as the main functional and structural unit of the cell, provide the opportunity to monitor the disease on a molecular level. Changes in the proteomic profiles are pivotal for the expression of molecular pathways and disease pathogenesis. Introduction of highly-sensitive and innovative technology enabled the discovery of novel biomarkers for improved risk stratification, better and more cost-effective medical care for the ill patients and advanced personalized medicine. In line with those strategies, this review provides and discusses the latest findings of proteomic-based biomarkers and their prospective clinical application for AKI management.

Abstract
The complement system is crucial to the innate immune system. It has the function of destroying pathogens by activating the classical, alternative, and lectin pathways. The complement system is important in nervous system diseases such as cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Activation of the complement system involves a series of intercellular signaling and cascade reactions. However, research on the source and transport mechanisms of the complement system in neurological diseases is still in its infancy. Studies have increasingly found that extracellular vesicles (EVs), a classic intercellular communication paradigm, may play a role in complement signaling disorders. Here, we systematically review the EV-mediated activation of complement pathways in different neurological diseases. We also discuss the prospect of EVs as future immunotherapy targets.

Abstract
The complement system is implicated in a broad range of neuroinflammatory disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Consequently, measuring complement levels in biofluids could serve as a potential biomarker for these diseases. Indeed, complement levels are shown to be altered in patients compared to controls, and some studies reported a correlation between the level of free complement in biofluids and disease progression, severity or the response to therapeutics. Overall, they are not (yet) suitable as a diagnostic tool due to heterogeneity of reported results. Moreover, measurement of free complement proteins has the disadvantage that information on their origin is lost, which might be of value in a multi-parameter approach for disease prediction and stratification. In light of this, extracellular vesicles (EVs) could provide a platform to improve the diagnostic power of complement proteins. EVs are nanosized double membrane particles that are secreted by essentially every cell type and resemble the (status of the) cell of origin. Interestingly, EVs can contain complement proteins, while the cellular origin can still be determined by the presence of EV surface markers. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge and future opportunities on the use of free and EV-associated complement proteins as biomarkers for neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Lacunar infarction (LACI), a subtype of acute ischemic stroke, has poor mid- to long-term prognosis due to recurrent vascular events or incident dementia which is difficult to predict using existing clinical data. Herein, we aim to discover blood-based biomarkers for LACI as a complementary prognostic tool. Convalescent plasma was collected from forty-five patients following a non-disabling LACI along with seventeen matched control subjects. The patients were followed up prospectively for up to five years to record an occurrence of adverse outcome and grouped accordingly (i.e., LACI-no adverse outcome, LACI-recurrent vascular event, and LACI-cognitive decline without any recurrence of vascular events). Medium-sized extracellular vesicles (MEVs), isolated from the pooled plasma of four groups, were analyzed by stable isotope labeling and 2D-LC-MS/MS. Out of 573 (FDR < 1%) quantified proteins, 146 showed significant changes in at least one LACI group when compared to matched healthy control. A systems analysis revealed that major elements (~85%) of the MEV proteome are different from the proteome of small-sized extracellular vesicles obtained from the same pooled plasma. The altered MEV proteins in LACI patients are mostly reduced in abundance. The majority of the shortlisted MEV proteins are not linked to commonly studied biological processes such as coagulation, fibrinolysis, or inflammation. Instead, they are linked to oxygen-glucose deprivation, endo-lysosomal trafficking, glucose transport, and iron homeostasis. The dataset is provided as a web-based data resource to facilitate meta-analysis, data integration, and targeted large-scale validation.

Neurovascular Unit-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: From Their Physiopathological Roles to Their Clinical Applications in Acute Brain Injuries. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10092147.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) form a heterogeneous group of membrane-enclosed structures secreted by all cell types. EVs export encapsulated materials composed of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, making them a key mediator in cell–cell communication. In the context of the neurovascular unit (NVU), a tightly interacting multicellular brain complex, EVs play a role in intercellular communication and in maintaining NVU functionality. In addition, NVU-derived EVs can also impact peripheral tissues by crossing the blood–brain barrier (BBB) to reach the blood stream. As such, EVs have been shown to be involved in the physiopathology of numerous neurological diseases. The presence of NVU-released EVs in the systemic circulation offers an opportunity to discover new diagnostic and prognostic markers for those diseases. This review outlines the most recent studies reporting the role of NVU-derived EVs in physiological and pathological mechanisms of the NVU, focusing on neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. Then, the clinical application of EVs-containing molecules as biomarkers in acute brain injuries, such as stroke and traumatic brain injuries (TBI), is discussed.

Abstract
We developed a novel asymmetric depth filtration (DF) approach to isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs) from biological fluids that outperforms ultracentrifugation and size‐exclusion chromatography in purity and yield of isolated EVs. By these metrics, a single‐step DF matches or exceeds the performance of multistep protocols with dedicated purification procedures in the isolation of plasma EVs. We demonstrate the selective transit and capture of biological nanoparticles in asymmetric pores by size and elasticity, low surface binding to the filtration medium, and the ability to cleanse EVs held by the filter before their recovery with the reversed flow all contribute to the achieved purity and yield of preparations. We further demonstrate the method's versatility by applying it to isolate EVs from different biofluids (plasma, urine, and cell culture growth medium). The DF workflow is simple, fast, and inexpensive. Only standard laboratory equipment is required for its implementation, making DF suitable for low‐resource and point‐of‐use locations. The method may be used for EV isolation from small biological samples in diagnostic and treatment guidance applications. It can also be scaled up to harvest therapeutic EVs from large volumes of cell culture medium.

Abstract
Expanding data suggest that glioblastoma is accountable for the growing prevalence of various forms of stroke formation, such as ischemic stroke and moyamoya disease. However, the underlying deterministic details are still unspecified. Bioinformatics approaches are designed to investigate the relationships between two pathogens as well as fill this study void. Glioblastoma is a form of cancer that typically occurs in the brain or spinal cord and is highly destructive. A stroke occurs when a brain region starts to lose blood circulation and prevents functioning. Moyamoya disorder is a recurrent and recurring arterial disorder of the brain. To begin, adequate gene expression datasets on glioblastoma, ischemic stroke, and moyamoya disease were gathered from various repositories. Then, the association between glioblastoma, ischemic stroke, and moyamoya was established using the existing pipelines. The framework was developed as a generalized workflow to allow for the aggregation of transcriptomic gene expression across specific tissue; Gene Ontology (GO) and biological pathway, as well as the validation of such data, are carried out using enrichment studies such as protein–protein interaction and gold benchmark databases. The results contribute to a more profound knowledge of the disease mechanisms and unveil the projected correlations among the diseases.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is often associated with a large disease burden. The existence of ischemia-reperfusion injury brings great challenges to the treatment of ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to explore the differences of metabolites in different parts of the brain induced by Shuxuetong injection against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and to extend the corresponding mechanism. The rats were modeled by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (t-MCAO) operation, and the success of modeling was determined by neurological function score and TTC staining. UPLC-Q/TOF-MS metabolomics technique and multivariate statistical analysis were used to analyze the changes and differences of metabolites in the cortex and hippocampus of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats. Compared with the model group, the neurological function score and cerebral infarction volume of the Shuxuetong treatment group were significantly different. There were differences and changes in the metabolic distribution of the cortex and hippocampus in each group, the distribution within the group was relatively concentrated. The separation trend between the groups was obvious, and the distribution of the Shuxuetong treatment group was similar to that of the sham operation group. We identified 13 metabolites that were differentially expressed in the cortex, including glutamine, dihydroorotic acid, and glyceric acid. We also found five differentially expressed metabolites in the hippocampus, including glutamic acid and fumaric acid. The common metabolic pathways of Shuxuetong on the cortex and hippocampus were D-glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism and nitrogen metabolism, which showed inhibition of cortical glutamine and promotion of hippocampal glutamic acid. Specific pathways of Shuxuetong enriched in the cortex included glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism and pyrimidine metabolism, which showed inhibition of glyceric acid and dihydroorotic acid. Specific pathways of Shuxuetong enriched in the hippocampus include arginine biosynthesis and citrate cycle (TCA cycle), which promotes fumaric acid. Shuxuetong injection can restore and adjust the metabolic disorder of the cortex and hippocampus in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats. The expression of Shuxuetong in different parts of the brain is different and correlated.
