Psychiatry Res 2024; 339:116066. [PMID: 38996632 DOI: 10.1016/j.psychres.2024.116066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 06/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
Due to its reliance on heterogeneous symptomatology, the accurate diagnosis of psychotic disorders remains a challenging task in clinical practice. Precise and early diagnosis of psychotic disorders facilitates early intervention, which has been shown to have substantial benefits for long-term outcomes. Still, the lack of specific biomarkers is an important limitation in early diagnosis and intervention. Exosomes, which act as messengers between cells, including brain cells, contain a vast array of molecules that hold promise for unveiling disorder-specific abnormalities. In this review, we discuss recent evidence highlighting the potential of circulating exosomes and brain-derived exosomes as valuable tools for the identification of accessible, non-invasive, and blood-based biomarkers of psychotic symptomatology and risk. We discuss current limitations in biomarker discovery studies focusing on exosomes. To enhance diagnosis specificity and treatment response, we also provide guidance for future investigations that need to target biomarkers of risk and relapse, as well as consider duration of untreated psychosis, biological sex, and other factors in the multifactorial biosignature of psychosis.

A proteomic meta-analysis refinement of plasma extracellular vesicles. Sci Data 2023; 10:837. [PMID: 38017024 PMCID: PMC10684639 DOI: 10.1038/s41597-023-02748-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles play major roles in cell-to-cell communication and are excellent biomarker candidates. However, studying plasma extracellular vesicles is challenging due to contaminants. Here, we performed a proteomics meta-analysis of public data to refine the plasma EV composition by separating EV proteins and contaminants into different clusters. We obtained two clusters with a total of 1717 proteins that were depleted of known contaminants and enriched in EV markers with independently validated 71% true-positive. These clusters had 133 clusters of differentiation (CD) antigens and were enriched with proteins from cell-to-cell communication and signaling. We compared our data with the proteins deposited in PeptideAtlas, making our refined EV protein list a resource for mechanistic and biomarker studies. As a use case example for this resource, we validated the type 1 diabetes biomarker proplatelet basic protein in EVs and showed that it regulates apoptosis of β cells and macrophages, two key players in the disease development. Our approach provides a refinement of the EV composition and a resource for the scientific community.

Nord J Psychiatry 2023; 77:686-695. [PMID: 37354486 DOI: 10.1080/08039488.2023.2223572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2022] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Human cells and bacteria secrete extracellular vesicles (EV) which play a role in intercellular communication. EV from the host intestinal epithelium are involved in the regulation of bacterial gene expression and growth. Bacterial EV (bactEV) produced in the intestine can pass to various tissues where they deliver biomolecules to many kinds of cells, including neurons. Emerging data indicate that gut microbiota is altered in patients with psychotic disorders. We hypothesized that the amount and content of blood-borne EV from intestinal cells and bactEV in psychotic patients would differ from healthy controls. METHODS We analyzed for human intestinal proteins by proteomics, for bactEV by metaproteomic analysis, and by measuring the level of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in blood-borne EV from patients with psychotic disorders (n = 25), tested twice, in the acute phase of psychosis and after improvement, with age- and sex-matched healthy controls (n = 25). RESULTS Patients with psychotic disorders had lower LPS levels in their EV compared to healthy controls (p = .027). Metaproteome analyses confirmed LPS finding and identified Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes as dominating phyla. Total amounts of human intestine proteins in EV isolated from blood was lower in patients compared to controls (p = .02). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that bactEV and host intestinal EV are decreased in patients with psychosis and that this topic is worthy of further investigation given potential pathophysiological implications. Possible mechanisms involve dysregulation of the gut microbiota by host EV, altered translocation of bactEV to systemic circulation where bactEV can interact with both the brain and the immune system.

Abstract
The study of proteins circulating in blood offers tremendous opportunities to diagnose, stratify, or possibly prevent diseases. With recent technological advances and the urgent need to understand the effects of COVID-19, the proteomic analysis of blood-derived serum and plasma has become even more important for studying human biology and pathophysiology. Here we provide views and perspectives about technological developments and possible clinical applications that use mass-spectrometry(MS)- or affinity-based methods. We discuss examples where plasma proteomics contributed valuable insights into SARS-CoV-2 infections, aging, and hemostasis and the opportunities offered by combining proteomics with genetic data. As a contribution to the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) Human Plasma Proteome Project (HPPP), we present the Human Plasma PeptideAtlas build 2021-07 that comprises 4395 canonical and 1482 additional nonredundant human proteins detected in 240 MS-based experiments. In addition, we report the new Human Extracellular Vesicle PeptideAtlas 2021-06, which comprises five studies and 2757 canonical proteins detected in extracellular vesicles circulating in blood, of which 74% (2047) are in common with the plasma PeptideAtlas. Our overview summarizes the recent advances, impactful applications, and ongoing challenges for translating plasma proteomics into utility for precision medicine.
