Proteomic Profiling of Serum-Derived Exosomes from Ethnically Diverse Prostate Cancer Patients

Abstract: Prostate cancer (PCa) remains the most frequently diagnosed male malignancy in Western countries and the second most common cause of male cancer death in the United States. The relatively elevated PCa incidence and mortality among African American men makes this cancer type a challenging health disparity disease. To increase the chance for successful trea tment, earlier detection and prediction of tumor aggress iveness will be important and need to be resolved. This study demonstrates that small membrane-bound… Show more

“…Although in the literature, there is already one study regarding exosomal proteomic analysis in ethnically diverse PCa patients, our study is different due to the following reasons: We have (a) characterized the exosomes from serum, (b) isolated exosomes by classical ultracentrifugation method, (c) quantified the exosomes by NTA, and (d) provided relative quantification of exosomal proteins (in terms of fold change). More importantly, in the present study, we have matched PCa with healthy individual for each race.…”

“…In recent years, there have been a multitude of studies investigating EVs as an alternative source of prostate‐derived proteins for the diagnosis and monitoring of PC, with a number of candidate biomarkers reported. One such study investigating blood EV profiles in PC patients strove to characterize differences in EV proteomes among ethnically diverse individuals . Plasma samples from men of African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic descent diagnosed with PC (as well as healthy controls) were subject to EV isolation using the ExoQuick isolation kit, with EV proteins then separated by 2D gel electrophoresis followed by in‐gel trypsin digestion and analysis via LC–MS/MS.…”

“…In our research, we found increased serum exosome levels in patients with prostate and breast cancers as compared to disease free controls [5355]. TEXs are prevalent in patient serum from multiple cancer types and protect labile biomarkers from degradation [42, 45, 48, 5355]. …”
