Proteomic profiling of milk small extracellular vesicles from bovine leukemia virus-infected cattle.

ABSTRACT: Milk small extracellular vesicles (sEV) contain proteins that provide potential information of host physiology and immunology. Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is an oncogenic virus that causes progressive B-cell lymphosarcoma in cattle. In this study, we aimed to explore the proteomic profile of milk sEV from BLV-infected cattle compared with those from uninfected cattle. Milk sEV were isolated from three BLV-infected and three uninfected cattle. Proteomic analysis was performed by using a comprehensive nanoLC-MS/MS method. Furthermore, gene ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were used to evaluate the candidates for uniquely or differentially expressed proteins in milk sEV from BLV-infected cattle. Proteomic analysis revealed a total of 1330 common proteins in milk sEV among BLV-infected cattle, whereas 118 proteins were uniquely expressed compared with those from uninfected cattle. Twenty-six proteins in milk sEV were differentially expressed proteins more than two-fold significant difference (p?
