Proteomic analysis of extracellular vesicles enriched serum associated with future ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT: Identifying new biomarkers beyond the established risk factors that make it possible to predict and prevent ischemic stroke has great significance. Extracellular vesicles are powerful cell‒cell messengers, containing disease-specific biomolecules, which makes them powerful diagnostic candidates. Therefore, this study aimed to identify proteins derived from extracellular vesicles enriched serum related to future ischemic stroke events, using a proteomic method. Of Japanese subjects who voluntarily participated in health checkups at our institute a number of times, 10 subjects (6 males and 4 females, age: 64.2 ± 3.9 years) who developed symptomatic ischemic stroke (7.3 ± 4.4 years' follow-up) and 10 age‒sex matched controls without brain lesions (6.7 ± 2.8 years' follow-up) were investigated
