Background: Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can be identified by myocardial enzymes in peripheral blood, but no protein markers have been found in urinary exosomes derived from AMI patients.

Methods: In the present study, a comprehensive proteomics analysis of urinary exosomes derived from patients with AMI was performed. Firstly, we employed the outstanding separation method known as EXODUS to isolate urinary exosomes from AMI patients and healthy controls. Then, we characterized urinary exosomes by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), western blotting and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). After that, we identified the protein components of exosomes through label-free proteomics and conducted bioinformatics analysis.

Result: High-quality exosomes were obtained through separation using EXODUS, which could be demonstrated by NTA, Western blotting and TEM. NTA analysis showed that partilce amount in AMI patients was significantly higher than healthy controls. The equal-volume Western blotting experiment indicated that the expression level of classic exosomal markers Alix, heat shock protein90 (HSP90), CD63 and TSG101 (Tumor susceptibility gene101) in AMI patents was obviously stronger than healthy subjects. We first described the protein profiles of urinary exosomes in AMI patients through proteomics. In this study, We have identified 3194 proteins, among which a total of 30 differential proteins were detected between the urinary exosomes of AMI patients and healthy controls. We investigated F2 and OLR1 among identified exosomal proteins significantly elevated in AMI group, whereas F3 and APCS dysregulated in AMI development.

Conclusions: F2, F3, OLR1 and APCS are able to distinguish individuals between the AMI group and the healthy controls, and the protein panel represent a novel prospective non-invasive biomarkers for the diagnostic process of acute myocardial infarction.

Background: Calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals are known to cause renal injury and trigger inflammatory responses. However, the role of exosome-mediated epithelial-macrophage communication in CaOx-induced kidney injury remains unclear.

Methods: To identify key molecules, miRNA sequencing was conducted on exosomes derived from CaOx-treated (CaOx-exo) and control (Ctrl-exo) epithelial cells, identifying miR-93-3p as significantly upregulated.

The chemotherapy resistance is an awkward challenge in management of bladder cancer (BC). Cancer organoid model is an effective preclinical tumor model that could faithfully represent clinical manifestations and simulate the biological processes of chemoresistance. Recent studies have revealed that cancer stem cells (CSCs) play a significant role in the development of chemoresistance in cancer.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the exosome-derived metabolomics profiles in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), identify differential metabolites, and analyze their potential as diagnostic markers for SLE and lupus nephritis (LN).

Methods: Totally, 91 participants were enrolled between February 2023 and January 2024 including 58 SLE patients [30 with nonrenal-SLE and 28 with Lupus nephritis (LN)] and 33 healthy controls (HC). Ultracentrifugation was used to isolate serum exosomes, which were analyzed for their metabolic profiles using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
