Proteomic analysis of plasma total exosomes and placenta-derived exosomes in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus in the first and second trimesters.

ABSTRACT: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the first spontaneous hyperglycemia during pregnancy. Early diagnosis and intervention are important for the management of the disease. This study compared and analyzed the proteins of total plasma exosomes (T-EXO) and placental-derived exosomes (PLAP-EXO) in pregnant women who subsequently developed GDM (12-16 weeks), GDM patients (24-28 weeks) and their corresponding controls to investigate the pathogenesis and biomarkers of GDM associated with exosomes. The exosomal proteins were extracted and studied by proteomics approach, then bioinformatics analysis was applied to the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between the groups. At 12-16 and 24-28 weeks of gestation, 36 and 21 DEPs were identified in T-EXO, while 34 and 20 DEPs were identified i
