Identification of CD14 and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein as novel biomarkers for sarcoidosis using proteomics of serum extracellular vesicles.

ABSTRACT: Sarcoidosis is a complex, polygenic, inflammatory granulomatous multi-organ disease of unknown cause. The granulomatous inflammation in sarcoidosis is driven by the interplay between T cells and macrophages. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play important roles in intercellular communication. We subjected serum EVs, isolated by size exclusion chromatography, from seven patients with sarcoidosis and five control subjects to non-targeted proteomics analysis. Non-targeted, label-free proteomics analysis detected 2292 proteins in serum EVs; 42 proteins were up-regulated in patients with sarcoidosis relative to control subjects; and 324 proteins were down-regulated. The protein signature of EVs from patients with sarcoidosis reflected disease characteristics such as antigen presentation and immunological disease. Candidate biomarkers were further verified by targeted proteomics analysis (selected reaction monitoring) in 46 patients and 10 control subjects. Notably, CD14 and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) were validated by targeted proteomics analysis. Up-regulation of these proteins was further confirmed by immunoblotting, and their expression was strongly increased in macrophages of lung granulomatous lesions. Consistent with these findings, CD14 levels were increased in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages during multinucleation, concomitant with increased levels of CD14 and LBP in EVs. The area under the curve values of CD14 and LBP were 0.81 and 0.84, respectively, and further increased to 0.98 in combination with angiotensin-converting enzyme and soluble interleukin-2 receptor. These findings suggest that CD14 and LBP in serum EVs, which are associated with granulomatous pathogenesis, can improve the diagnostic accuracy in patients with sarcoidosis.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry specific proteins involved in intercellular communication. EVs with different protein contents are released into circulation in different diseases. Recent studies have identified proteins in adenomyosis (AM)-derived EVs (AMEVs) from blood as biomarkers for this disease. AM is an extension of endometrial tissue into the uterine myometrium. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most accurate imaging tool for identifying adenomyosis. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the role of EVs in diagnosing AM. In the present study, tissue AMEVs (T-AMEVs) were isolated from lesion homogenates of patients with adenomyosis, and blood AMEVs (B-AMEVs) were isolated from peripheral blood of patients with AM via differential centrifugation and density gradient centrifugation. T-AMEVs and B-AMEVs were characterized by electron microscopy, western blotting and mass spectrometry and analysed using FunRich3.1.3 software. T-AMEVs (average diameter, 150.9±102.2 nm) and B-AMEVs (194.1±66.81 nm) expressed the CD9, CD63 and flotillin-2 EV markers. A total of 211 proteins expressed in T-AMEVs and B-AMEVs overlapped with Vesiclepedia database entries, including 2 epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated proteins and 6 invasion-associated proteins. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis indicated that these 211 proteins were associated with the 'regulation of cell morphogenesis' and 'cytoskeletal organization' terms, as well as the PPAR and HIF-1 signalling pathways, which are related to the proliferation and metastasis of endometrial cells that cannot invade the myometrium under normal circumstances. Among the 211 proteins, HSP90A, STIP1 and TAGLN-2 were expressed in T-AMEVs and B-AMEVs, but not in serum EVs of women without adenomyosis/endometriosis, and these proteins might be the potential biomarkers for adenomyosis. These findings provide insights into the molecular features of adenomyosis and the new candidate biomarkers for diagnosis.

Project description:Most cancer-related deaths are caused by distant metastases, which are tumour cells that have escaped from a primary tumour and passed into the bloodstream to colonize a new organ. In this context, communication between tumour and stromal cells is essential. Indeed, tumor cells interact with cells in the tumor microenvironment and are able to modify them to their advantage. Both extracellular vesicles (EVs) and exosomes are heterogeneous populations of small vesicles present in the tumor microenvironment and in body fluids that have recently emerged as powerful mediators involved in this communication and their transport in fluids. Tumor cells release large quantities of exosomes containing tumor markers, which can then spread to distant locations. The exosomes are of endosomal origin. They are composed of proteins, lipids, RNA and DNA, and they circulate in the bloodstream. They can be internalized by specific distant cells and thus deliver a functional message. It has recently been shown that tumor exosomes containing pro-metastatic factors form pre-metastatic niches, before the tumor cells actually arrive, while determining the metastatic organotropism of tumors. These properties are now opening up new avenues of research in tumor biomarkers. In recent years, several studies have highlighted different markers contained specifically in exosomes derived from cancer cells. Consequently, exosomes are considered as potential reservoirs of tumor biomarkers that could be clinically useful for the non-invasive diagnosis of cancer, with the advantage of being performed by liquid biopsy. The study of microRNA (miRNA) is of particular interest. Indeed, miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs (between 21 and 25 nucleotides) involved in the regulation of gene expression and which are frequently deregulated in cancer. Several studies underline that the variation of free miRNAs in the blood is correlated with the progression of the disease, particularly in colon cancer. However, the stability of free miRNAs is controversial. Therefore, exosomes represent a very advantageous means of transporting miRNAs in the blood, as they are able to protect miRNAs from degradation by RNAase. The hypothesis of the project is that circulating exosomes derived from tumours contain markers including specific miRNAs that could be used as biomarkers of early prognosis (survival and progression), easily measured in blood samples from patients with colon cancer. But other molecules contained in exosomes could also be of interest.
