Abstract
Pluripotent stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (PSC-sEVs) have demonstrated great clinic (show more...)Pluripotent stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (PSC-sEVs) have demonstrated great clinical translational potential in multiple aging-related degenerative diseases. Characterizing the PSC-sEVs is crucial for their clinical applications. However, the specific marker pattern of PSC-sEVs remains unknown. Here, the sEVs derived from two typical types of PSCs including induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-sEVs) and embryonic stem cells (ESC-sEVs) were analysed using proteomic analysis by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and surface marker phenotyping analysis by nanoparticle flow cytometry (NanoFCM). A group of pluripotency-related proteins were found to be enriched in PSC-sEVs by LC-MS/MS and then validated by Western Blot analysis. To investigate whether these proteins were specifically expressed in PSC-sEVs, sEVs derived from seven types of non-PSCs (non-PSC-sEVs) were adopted for analysis. The results showed that PODXL, OCT4, Dnmt3a, and LIN28A were specifically enriched in PSC-sEVs but not in non-PSC-sEVs. Then, commonly used surface antigens for PSC identification (SSEA4, Tra-1-60 and Tra-1-81) and PODXL were gauged at single-particle resolution by NanoFCM for surface marker identification. The results showed that the positive rates of PODXL (>50%) and SSEA4 (>70%) in PSC-sEVs were much higher than those in non-PSC-sEVs (<10%). These results were further verified with samples purified by density gradient ultracentrifugation. Taken together, this study for the first time identified a cohort of specific markers for PSC-sEVs, among which PODXL, OCT4, Dnmt3a and LIN28A can be detected with Western Blot analysis, and PODXL and SSEA4 can be detected with NanoFCM analysis. The application of these specific markers for PSC-sEVs identification may advance the clinical translation of PSCs-sEVs. (hide)

Abstract
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). (show more...)Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). High expression of tissue PD-L1 (tPD-L1) is currently the only approved biomarker for predicting treatment response. However, even tPD-L1 low (1-49%) and absent (<1%) patients might benefit from immunotherapy but, to date, there is no reliable biomarker, that can predict response in this particular patient subgroup. This study aimed to test whether tumour-associated extracellular vesicles (EVs) could fill this gap. Using NSCLC cell lines, we identified a panel of tumour-related antigens that were enriched on large EVs (lEVs) compared to smaller EVs. The levels of lEVs carrying these antigens were significantly elevated in plasma of NSCLC patients (n = 108) and discriminated them from controls (n = 77). Among the tested antigens, we focused on programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), which is a well-known direct target for immunotherapy. In plasma lEVs, PD-L1 was mainly found on a population of CD45 /CD62P lEVs and thus seemed to be associated with platelet-derived vesicles. Patients with high baseline levels of PD-L1 lEVs in blood showed a significantly better response to immunotherapy and prolonged survival. This was particularly true in the subgroup of NSCLC patients with low or absent tPD-L1 expression, thus identifying PD-L1-positive lEVs in plasma as a novel predictive and prognostic marker for immunotherapy.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). (show more...)Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). High expression of tissue PD-L1 (tPD-L1) is currently the only approved biomarker for predicting treatment response. However, even tPD-L1 low (1-49%) and absent (<1%) patients might benefit from immunotherapy but, to date, there is no reliable biomarker, that can predict response in this particular patient subgroup. This study aimed to test whether tumour-associated extracellular vesicles (EVs) could fill this gap. Using NSCLC cell lines, we identified a panel of tumour-related antigens that were enriched on large EVs (lEVs) compared to smaller EVs. The levels of lEVs carrying these antigens were significantly elevated in plasma of NSCLC patients (n = 108) and discriminated them from controls (n = 77). Among the tested antigens, we focused on programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), which is a well-known direct target for immunotherapy. In plasma lEVs, PD-L1 was mainly found on a population of CD45 /CD62P lEVs and thus seemed to be associated with platelet-derived vesicles. Patients with high baseline levels of PD-L1 lEVs in blood showed a significantly better response to immunotherapy and prolonged survival. This was particularly true in the subgroup of NSCLC patients with low or absent tPD-L1 expression, thus identifying PD-L1-positive lEVs in plasma as a novel predictive and prognostic marker for immunotherapy.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is a deadly brain tumor for which there is no cure. The presence of glioblastoma stem-l (show more...)Glioblastoma is a deadly brain tumor for which there is no cure. The presence of glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) contributes to the heterogeneous nature of the disease and makes developing effective therapies challenging. Glioblastoma cells have been shown to influence their environment by releasing biological nanostructures known as extracellular vesicles (EVs). Here, we investigated the role of GSC-derived nanosized EVs (<200 nm) in glioblastoma heterogeneity, plasticity, and aggressiveness, with a particular focus on their protein, metabolite, and fatty acid content. We showed that conditioned medium and small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from cells of one glioblastoma subtype induced transcriptomic and proteomic changes in cells of another subtype. We found that GSC-derived sEVs are enriched in proteins playing a role in the transmembrane transport of amino acids, carboxylic acids, and organic acids, growth factor binding, and metabolites associated with amino acid, carboxylic acid, and sugar metabolism. This suggests a dual role of GSC-derived sEVs in supplying neighboring GSCs with valuable metabolites and proteins responsible for their transport. Moreover, GSC-derived sEVs were enriched in saturated fatty acids, while their respective cells were high in unsaturated fatty acids, supporting that the loading of biological cargos into sEVs is a highly regulated process and that GSC-derived sEVs could be sources of saturated fatty acids for the maintenance of glioblastoma cell metabolism. Interestingly, sEVs isolated from GSCs of the proneural and mesenchymal subtypes are enriched in specific sets of proteins, metabolites, and fatty acids, suggesting a molecular collaboration between transcriptionally different glioblastoma cells. In summary, this study revealed the complexity of GSC-derived sEVs and unveiled their potential contribution to tumor heterogeneity and critical cellular processes commonly deregulated in glioblastoma.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is a deadly brain tumor for which there is no cure. The presence of glioblastoma stem-l (show more...)Glioblastoma is a deadly brain tumor for which there is no cure. The presence of glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) contributes to the heterogeneous nature of the disease and makes developing effective therapies challenging. Glioblastoma cells have been shown to influence their environment by releasing biological nanostructures known as extracellular vesicles (EVs). Here, we investigated the role of GSC-derived nanosized EVs (<200 nm) in glioblastoma heterogeneity, plasticity, and aggressiveness, with a particular focus on their protein, metabolite, and fatty acid content. We showed that conditioned medium and small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from cells of one glioblastoma subtype induced transcriptomic and proteomic changes in cells of another subtype. We found that GSC-derived sEVs are enriched in proteins playing a role in the transmembrane transport of amino acids, carboxylic acids, and organic acids, growth factor binding, and metabolites associated with amino acid, carboxylic acid, and sugar metabolism. This suggests a dual role of GSC-derived sEVs in supplying neighboring GSCs with valuable metabolites and proteins responsible for their transport. Moreover, GSC-derived sEVs were enriched in saturated fatty acids, while their respective cells were high in unsaturated fatty acids, supporting that the loading of biological cargos into sEVs is a highly regulated process and that GSC-derived sEVs could be sources of saturated fatty acids for the maintenance of glioblastoma cell metabolism. Interestingly, sEVs isolated from GSCs of the proneural and mesenchymal subtypes are enriched in specific sets of proteins, metabolites, and fatty acids, suggesting a molecular collaboration between transcriptionally different glioblastoma cells. In summary, this study revealed the complexity of GSC-derived sEVs and unveiled their potential contribution to tumor heterogeneity and critical cellular processes commonly deregulated in glioblastoma.

Abstract
The release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in cell cultures as well as their molecular cargo can be (show more...)The release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in cell cultures as well as their molecular cargo can be influenced by cell culture conditions such as the presence of foetal bovine serum (FBS). Although several studies have evaluated the effect of removing FBS-derived EVs by ultracentrifugation (UC), less is known about the influence of FBS heat inactivation (HI) on the cell-derived EVs. To assess this, three protocols based on different combinations of EV depletion by UC and HI were evaluated, including FBS ultracentrifuged but not heat inactivated (no-HI FBS), FBS heat inactivated before EV depletion (HI-before EV-depl FBS), and FBS heat inactivated after EV depletion (HI-after EV-depl FBS). We isolated large (L-EVs) and small EVs (S-EVs) from FBS treated in the three different ways, and we found that the S-EV pellet from HI-after EV-depl FBS was larger than the S-EV pellet from no-HI FBS and HI-before EV-depl FBS. Transmission electron microscopy, protein quantification, and particle number evaluation showed that HI-after EV-depl significantly increased the protein amount of S-EVs but had no significant effect on L-EVs. Consequently, the protein quantity of S-EVs isolated from three cell lines cultured in media supplemented with HI-after EV-depl FBS was significantly increased. Quantitative mass spectrometry analysis of FBS-derived S-EVs showed that the EV protein content was different when FBS was HI after EV depletion compared to EVs isolated from no-HI FBS and HI-before EV-depl FBS. Moreover, we show that several quantified proteins could be ascribed to human origin, thus demonstrating that FBS bovine proteins can mistakenly be attributed to human cell-derived EVs. We conclude that HI of FBS performed after EV depletion results in changes in the proteome, with molecules that co-isolate with EVs and can contaminate EVs when used in subsequent cell cultures. Our recommendation is, therefore, to always perform HI of FBS prior to EV depletion. (hide)

Quantitative mass spectrometry analysis of FBS-derived S-EVs showed that the EV protein content was different when FBS was HI after EV depletion compared to EVs isolated from no-HI FBS and HI-before EV-depl FBS. Moreover, we show that several quantified proteins could be ascribed to human origin, thus demonstrating that FBS bovine proteins can mistakenly be attributed to human cell-derived EVs. We conclude that HI of FBS performed after EV depletion results in changes in the proteome, with molecules that co-isolate with EVs and can contaminate EVs when used in subsequent cell cultures. Our recommendation is, therefore, to always perform HI of FBS prior to EV depletion. (hide)

Abstract
The release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in cell cultures as well as their molecular cargo can be (show more...)The release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in cell cultures as well as their molecular cargo can be influenced by cell culture conditions such as the presence of foetal bovine serum (FBS). Although several studies have evaluated the effect of removing FBS-derived EVs by ultracentrifugation (UC), less is known about the influence of FBS heat inactivation (HI) on the cell-derived EVs. To assess this, three protocols based on different combinations of EV depletion by UC and HI were evaluated, including FBS ultracentrifuged but not heat inactivated (no-HI FBS), FBS heat inactivated before EV depletion (HI-before EV-depl FBS), and FBS heat inactivated after EV depletion (HI-after EV-depl FBS). We isolated large (L-EVs) and small EVs (S-EVs) from FBS treated in the three different ways, and we found that the S-EV pellet from HI-after EV-depl FBS was larger than the S-EV pellet from no-HI FBS and HI-before EV-depl FBS. Transmission electron microscopy, protein quantification, and particle number evaluation showed that HI-after EV-depl significantly increased the protein amount of S-EVs but had no significant effect on L-EVs. Consequently, the protein quantity of S-EVs isolated from three cell lines cultured in media supplemented with HI-after EV-depl FBS was significantly increased.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are gaining interest as efficient, biocompatible vehicles for cellular (show more...)Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are gaining interest as efficient, biocompatible vehicles for cellular delivery of therapeutic cargo. Precipitation-based methods for the isolation of EVs remain popular due to ease of use and lack of requirements for specialized equipment. We describe here a novel charge-based EV isolation method that is simple, scalable, and uses inexpensive polyethylenimine (PEI) polymers. GFP-expressing EVs were isolated from the conditioned cell culture (CCM) media of HEK293-GFP cells using either branched 10 kDa PEI (B-PEI) or linear 25 kDa PEI (L-PEI). Isolated EVs were characterized by Western blotting, nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and flow cytometry. Western blotting for common EV markers, including CD63, CD9, flotillin-1, and heat shock protein 70 were positive, while GRP94, a marker for cellular contamination, was negative. Isolated EVs had a mean diameter of 146 nm for B-PEI and 175 nm for L- PEI, while TEM revealed a spherical cup-shaped appearance typical of EVs. In addition, we determined that PEI-based EV isolation methods were scalable up to volumes of at least 50 mL. EVs isolated from CCM collected from SUM159 cells that express CD63 fused to a dual EGFP-Renilla-split tag were tested for their ability to reconstitute functional luciferase by delivering the CD63-EGFP-Renilla-split tag to SUM159 recipient cells loaded with a cytopermeable Renilla luciferase substrate. Although EVs isolated using L-PEI behaved similarly to EVs isolated using ultracentrifugation, we observed that EVs isolated using B-PEI produced a more rapid uptake and delivery of active luciferase. In this study we demonstrate that both branched and linear PEI polymers can precipitate EVs from CCM. Furthermore, once eluted from the polymers, the isolated EVs were able to deliver functional protein cargo to recipient cells. Overall, our data support PEI-based isolation of EVs as a simple, rapid method for the recovery of functional EVs. (hide)

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are gaining interest as efficient, biocompatible vehicles for cellular (show more...)Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are gaining interest as efficient, biocompatible vehicles for cellular delivery of therapeutic cargo. Precipitation-based methods for the isolation of EVs remain popular due to ease of use and lack of requirements for specialized equipment. We describe here a novel charge-based EV isolation method that is simple, scalable, and uses inexpensive polyethylenimine (PEI) polymers. GFP-expressing EVs were isolated from the conditioned cell culture (CCM) media of HEK293-GFP cells using either branched 10 kDa PEI (B-PEI) or linear 25 kDa PEI (L-PEI). Isolated EVs were characterized by Western blotting, nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and flow cytometry. Western blotting for common EV markers, including CD63, CD9, flotillin-1, and heat shock protein 70 were positive, while GRP94, a marker for cellular contamination, was negative. Isolated EVs had a mean diameter of 146 nm for B-PEI and 175 nm for L- PEI, while TEM revealed a spherical cup-shaped appearance typical of EVs. In addition, we determined that PEI-based EV isolation methods were scalable up to volumes of at least 50 mL. EVs isolated from CCM collected from SUM159 cells that express CD63 fused to a dual EGFP-Renilla-split tag were tested for their ability to reconstitute functional luciferase by delivering the CD63-EGFP-Renilla-split tag to SUM159 recipient cells loaded with a cytopermeable Renilla luciferase substrate. Although EVs isolated using L-PEI behaved similarly to EVs isolated using ultracentrifugation, we observed that EVs isolated using B-PEI produced a more rapid uptake and delivery of active luciferase. In this study we demonstrate that both branched and linear PEI polymers can precipitate EVs from CCM. Furthermore, once eluted from the polymers, the isolated EVs were able to deliver functional protein cargo to recipient cells. Overall, our data support PEI-based isolation of EVs as a simple, rapid method for the recovery of functional EVs. (hide)

Abstract
Cells can communicate via the release and uptake of extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are nano-siz (show more...)Cells can communicate via the release and uptake of extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are nano-sized membrane vesicles that can transfer protein and RNA cargo between cells. EVs contain microRNAs and various other types of non-coding RNA, of which Y RNA is among the most abundant types. Studies on how RNAs and their binding proteins are sorted into EVs have mainly focused on comparing intracellular (cytoplasmic) levels of these RNAs to the extracellular levels in EVs. Besides overall transcriptional levels that may regulate sorting of RNAs into EVs, the process may also be driven by local intracellular changes in RNA/RBP concentrations. Changes in extracellular Y RNA have been linked to cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Although the loading of RNA cargo into EVs is generally thought to be influenced by cellular stimuli and regulated by RNA binding proteins (RBP), little is known about Y RNA shuttling into EVs. We previously reported that immune stimulation alters the levels of Y RNA in EVs independently of cytosolic Y RNA levels. This suggests that Y RNA binding proteins, and/or changes in the local Y RNA concentration at EV biogenesis sites, may affect Y RNA incorporation into EVs. Here, we investigated the subcellular distribution of Y RNA and Y RNA binding proteins in activated and non-activated THP1 macrophages. We demonstrate that Y RNA and its main binding protein Ro60 abundantly co-fractionate in organelles involved in EV biogenesis and in EVs. Cellular activation led to an increase in Y RNA concentration at EV biogenesis sites and this correlated with increased EV-associated levels of Y RNA and Ro60. These results suggest that Y RNA incorporation into EVs may be controlled by local intracellular changes in the concentration of Y RNA and their protein binding partners. (hide)

Abstract
Pluripotent stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (PSC-sEVs) have demonstrated great clinic (show more...)Pluripotent stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (PSC-sEVs) have demonstrated great clinical translational potential in multiple aging-related degenerative diseases. Characterizing the PSC-sEVs is crucial for their clinical applications. However, the specific marker pattern of PSC-sEVs remains unknown. Here, the sEVs derived from two typical types of PSCs including induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-sEVs) and embryonic stem cells (ESC-sEVs) were analysed using proteomic analysis by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and surface marker phenotyping analysis by nanoparticle flow cytometry (NanoFCM). A group of pluripotency-related proteins were found to be enriched in PSC-sEVs by LC-MS/MS and then validated by Western Blot analysis. To investigate whether these proteins were specifically expressed in PSC-sEVs, sEVs derived from seven types of non-PSCs (non-PSC-sEVs) were adopted for analysis. The results showed that PODXL, OCT4, Dnmt3a, and LIN28A were specifically enriched in PSC-sEVs but not in non-PSC-sEVs. Then, commonly used surface antigens for PSC identification (SSEA4, Tra-1-60 and Tra-1-81) and PODXL were gauged at single-particle resolution by NanoFCM for surface marker identification. The results showed that the positive rates of PODXL (>50%) and SSEA4 (>70%) in PSC-sEVs were much higher than those in non-PSC-sEVs (<10%). These results were further verified with samples purified by density gradient ultracentrifugation. Taken together, this study for the first time identified a cohort of specific markers for PSC-sEVs, among which PODXL, OCT4, Dnmt3a and LIN28A can be detected with Western Blot analysis, and PODXL and SSEA4 can be detected with NanoFCM analysis. The application of these specific markers for PSC-sEVs identification may advance the clinical translation of PSCs-sEVs. (hide)

Taken together, this study for the first time identified a cohort of specific markers for PSC-sEVs, among which PODXL, OCT4, Dnmt3a and LIN28A can be detected with Western Blot analysis, and PODXL and SSEA4 can be detected with NanoFCM analysis. The application of these specific markers for PSC-sEVs identification may advance the clinical translation of PSCs-sEVs. (hide)

Abstract

Characterizing the PSC-sEVs is crucial for their clinical applications. However, the specific marker pattern of PSC-sEVs remains unknown. Here, the sEVs derived from two typical types of PSCs including induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-sEVs) and embryonic stem cells (ESC-sEVs) were analysed using proteomic analysis by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and surface marker phenotyping analysis by nanoparticle flow cytometry (NanoFCM). A group of pluripotency-related proteins were found to be enriched in PSC-sEVs by LC-MS/MS and then validated by Western Blot analysis. To investigate whether these proteins were specifically expressed in PSC-sEVs, sEVs derived from seven types of non-PSCs (non-PSC-sEVs) were adopted for analysis. The results showed that PODXL, OCT4, Dnmt3a, and LIN28A were specifically enriched in PSC-sEVs but not in non-PSC-sEVs. Then, commonly used surface antigens for PSC identification (SSEA4, Tra-1-60 and Tra-1-81) and PODXL were gauged at single-particle resolution by NanoFCM for surface marker identification. The results showed that the positive rates of PODXL (>50%) and SSEA4 (>70%) in PSC-sEVs were much higher than those in non-PSC-sEVs (<10%). These results were further verified with samples purified by density gradient ultracentrifugation.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are gaining interest as efficient, biocompatible vehicles for cellular (show more...)Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are gaining interest as efficient, biocompatible vehicles for cellular delivery of therapeutic cargo. Precipitation-based methods for the isolation of EVs remain popular due to ease of use and lack of requirements for specialized equipment. We describe here a novel charge-based EV isolation method that is simple, scalable, and uses inexpensive polyethylenimine (PEI) polymers. GFP-expressing EVs were isolated from the conditioned cell culture (CCM) media of HEK293-GFP cells using either branched 10 kDa PEI (B-PEI) or linear 25 kDa PEI (L-PEI). Isolated EVs were characterized by Western blotting, nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and flow cytometry. Western blotting for common EV markers, including CD63, CD9, flotillin-1, and heat shock protein 70 were positive, while GRP94, a marker for cellular contamination, was negative. Isolated EVs had a mean diameter of 146 nm for B-PEI and 175 nm for L- PEI, while TEM revealed a spherical cup-shaped appearance typical of EVs. In addition, we determined that PEI-based EV isolation methods were scalable up to volumes of at least 50 mL. EVs isolated from CCM collected from SUM159 cells that express CD63 fused to a dual EGFP-Renilla-split tag were tested for their ability to reconstitute functional luciferase by delivering the CD63-EGFP-Renilla-split tag to SUM159 recipient cells loaded with a cytopermeable Renilla luciferase substrate. Although EVs isolated using L-PEI behaved similarly to EVs isolated using ultracentrifugation, we observed that EVs isolated using B-PEI produced a more rapid uptake and delivery of active luciferase. In this study we demonstrate that both branched and linear PEI polymers can precipitate EVs from CCM. Furthermore, once eluted from the polymers, the isolated EVs were able to deliver functional protein cargo to recipient cells. Overall, our data support PEI-based isolation of EVs as a simple, rapid method for the recovery of functional EVs. (hide)

Abstract
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). (show more...)Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). High expression of tissue PD-L1 (tPD-L1) is currently the only approved biomarker for predicting treatment response. However, even tPD-L1 low (1-49%) and absent (<1%) patients might benefit from immunotherapy but, to date, there is no reliable biomarker, that can predict response in this particular patient subgroup. This study aimed to test whether tumour-associated extracellular vesicles (EVs) could fill this gap. Using NSCLC cell lines, we identified a panel of tumour-related antigens that were enriched on large EVs (lEVs) compared to smaller EVs. The levels of lEVs carrying these antigens were significantly elevated in plasma of NSCLC patients (n = 108) and discriminated them from controls (n = 77). Among the tested antigens, we focused on programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), which is a well-known direct target for immunotherapy. In plasma lEVs, PD-L1 was mainly found on a population of CD45 /CD62P lEVs and thus seemed to be associated with platelet-derived vesicles. Patients with high baseline levels of PD-L1 lEVs in blood showed a significantly better response to immunotherapy and prolonged survival. This was particularly true in the subgroup of NSCLC patients with low or absent tPD-L1 expression, thus identifying PD-L1-positive lEVs in plasma as a novel predictive and prognostic marker for immunotherapy.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). (show more...)Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). High expression of tissue PD-L1 (tPD-L1) is currently the only approved biomarker for predicting treatment response. However, even tPD-L1 low (1-49%) and absent (<1%) patients might benefit from immunotherapy but, to date, there is no reliable biomarker, that can predict response in this particular patient subgroup. This study aimed to test whether tumour-associated extracellular vesicles (EVs) could fill this gap. Using NSCLC cell lines, we identified a panel of tumour-related antigens that were enriched on large EVs (lEVs) compared to smaller EVs. The levels of lEVs carrying these antigens were significantly elevated in plasma of NSCLC patients (n = 108) and discriminated them from controls (n = 77). Among the tested antigens, we focused on programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), which is a well-known direct target for immunotherapy. In plasma lEVs, PD-L1 was mainly found on a population of CD45 /CD62P lEVs and thus seemed to be associated with platelet-derived vesicles. Patients with high baseline levels of PD-L1 lEVs in blood showed a significantly better response to immunotherapy and prolonged survival. This was particularly true in the subgroup of NSCLC patients with low or absent tPD-L1 expression, thus identifying PD-L1-positive lEVs in plasma as a novel predictive and prognostic marker for immunotherapy.

Abstract
Physical exercise triggers the secretion of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) into the circulation (show more...)Physical exercise triggers the secretion of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) into the circulation in humans, enabling signalling crosstalk between tissues. Exercise-derived EVs and their cargo have been proposed to mediate adaptations to exercise/ however, our understanding of how exercise-derived EV protein cargo is modulated by factors such as aerobic fitness and age of an individual is currently unknown. Here, we examined the circulating sEV proteome following aerobic exercise in healthy males of different ages and aerobic fitness to understand exercise-induced EV response during the aging process.

Abstract
Physical exercise triggers the secretion of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) into the circulation (show more...)Physical exercise triggers the secretion of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) into the circulation in humans, enabling signalling crosstalk between tissues. Exercise-derived EVs and their cargo have been proposed to mediate adaptations to exercise/ however, our understanding of how exercise-derived EV protein cargo is modulated by factors such as aerobic fitness and age of an individual is currently unknown. Here, we examined the circulating sEV proteome following aerobic exercise in healthy males of different ages and aerobic fitness to understand exercise-induced EV response during the aging process.

Abstract
The biggest challenge in current isolation methods for lipid bilayer-encapsulated vesicles, such as (show more...)The biggest challenge in current isolation methods for lipid bilayer-encapsulated vesicles, such as exosomes, secretory, and synthetic vesicles, lies in the absence of a unified approach that seamlessly delivers high purity, yield, and scalability for large-scale applications. To address this gap, an innovative method is developed that utilizes photosensitive lipid nanoprobes for the efficient isolation of vesicles and sorting them into subpopulations based on size. The photosensitive component in the probe undergoes cleavage upon exposure to light, facilitating the release of vesicles in their near-native form. The method demonstrates a superior ability in isolating high purity extracellular vesicles from complex biological media and separating them into size-based subpopulations within 1 h, achieving more efficiency and purity than ultracentrifugation. Furthermore, this method's cost-effectiveness and rapid enrichment of the vesicles align with demands for large-scale isolation and downstream analyses of nucleic acids and proteins. The method opens new avenues in exploring, analyzing, and utilizing synthetic and extracellular vesicle subpopulations in various biomedical applications, including diagnostics, therapeutic delivery, and biomarker discovery.
