Summary

このプロトコルは、わずか10μlの血清サンプルから、細胞外ベシクル(電気自動車)、細胞から放出された小さな膜状粒子を単離する方法を詳しく説明します。このアプローチは、超遠心分離の必要性を回避するアッセイ時間の数分しか必要とし、限られた容積のサンプルからのEVの単離を可能にする。

Abstract

細胞外ベシクル(電気自動車)、細胞の様々なタイプから放出された膜状の粒子は、臨床応用のための大きな可能性を保持する。これらは、核酸およびタンパク質貨物を含む、ますます真核生物および原核生物細胞の両方によって利用される細胞間コミュニケーションの手段として認識されている。しかしながら、それらのサイズが小さいため、電気自動車の単離のための現在のプロトコルは、多くの場合、時間がかかり、面倒であり、そのような超遠心分離機のような大量の試料で高価な装置を必要とする。これらの制限に対処するために、我々は、簡単で効率的であり、そして10μlの程度の低いサンプルボリュームを必要とする電気自動車のサブグループを分離するための紙ベースの免疫親和性プラットフォームを開発した。生物学的サンプルは、化学的に特定EV表面マーカーに対して高い親和性を有する捕捉分子で変性された紙テストゾーン上に直接ピペッティングすることができる。我々は、走査電子顕微鏡(SEM)を用いてアッセイを確認、紙ベースの酵素結合immunosorbenトンアッセイ(P-ELISA)、およびトランスクリプトーム解析。これらの紙ベースのデバイスは、健康および疾患におけるEV機能の私達の理解を進める支援する診療所での電気自動車の研究と研究の設定を有効にします。

Introduction

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heterogeneous membranous particles that range in size from 40 nm to 5,000 nm and are released actively by many cell types via different biogenesis routes1-9. They contain unique and selected subsets of DNA, RNA, proteins, and surface markers from parental cells. Their involvement in a variety of cellular processes, such as intercellular communication10, immunity modulation11, angiogenesis12, metastasis12, chemoresistance13, and the development of eye diseases9, is increasingly recognized and has spurred a great interest in their utility in diagnostic, prognostic, therapeutic, and basic biology applications.

EVs can be classically categorized as exosomes, microvesicles, apoptotic bodies, oncosomes, ectosomes, microparticles, telerosomes, prostatosomes, cardiosomes, and vexosomes, etc., based on their biogenesis or cellular origin. For example, exosomes are formed in multivesicular bodies, whereas microvesicles are generated by budding directly from plasma membrane and apoptotic vesicles are from apoptotic or necrotic cells. However, the nomenclature is still under refined, partly due to a lack of thorough understanding and characterization of EVs. Several methods have been developed to purify EVs, including ultracentrifugation14, ultrafiltration15, magnetic beads16, polymeric precipitation17-19, and microfluidic techniques20-22. The most common procedure to purify EVs involves a series of centrifugations and/or filtration to remove large debris and other cellular contaminants, followed by a final high-speed ultracentrifugation, a process that is expensive, tedious, and nonspecific14,23,24. Unfortunately, technological need for rapid and reliable isolation of EVs with satisfactory purity and efficiency is not yet met.

We have developed a paper-based immunoaffinity device that provides a simple, time- and cost-saving, yet efficient way to isolate and characterize subgroups of EVs22. Cellulose paper cut into a defined shape can be arranged and laminated using two plastic sheets with registered through-holes. In contrast to the general strategy to define the fluid boundary in paper-based devices by printing hydrophobic wax or polymers25-27, these laminated paper patterns are resistant to many organic liquids, including ethanol. Paper test zones are chemically modified to provide stable and dense coverage of capture molecules (e.g., target-specific antibodies) that have high affinity to specific surface markers on EV subgroups. Biological samples can be pipetted directly onto the paper test zones, and purified EVs are retained after rinse steps. Characterization of isolated EVs can be performed by SEM, ELISA, and transcriptomic analysis.
