Cancer cells release extracellular vesicles, which are a rich target for biomarker discovery and provide a promising mechanism for liquid biopsy. Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) is an increasingly popular technique, which has been rediscovered for the purposes of extracellular vesicle (EV) isolation and purification from diverse biofluids. A systematic review was undertaken to identify all papers that described size exclusion as their primary EV isolation method in cancer research. In all, 37 papers were identified and discussed, which showcases the breadth of applications in which EVs can be utilised, from proteomics, to RNA, and through to functionality. A range of different methods are highlighted, with Sepharose-based techniques predominating. EVs isolated using SEC are able to identify cancer cells, highlight active pathways in tumourigenesis, clinically distinguish cohorts, and remain functionally active for further experiments.

Abstract Background: Circulating small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) and its associated proteins are of great interest in the early detection of many diseases. However, there is no gold standard for plasma sEVs isolation, especially for proteomic profiling which could be largely affected by contamination such as lipoproteins. Previous studies suggested combinations of different sEVs isolation methods could improve the purity of the isolated fractions. Nevertheless, there is no systematic evaluation of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), ultracentrifugation (UC) and their combination in a proteomic perspective. Results: Here we exhibited that SEC+UC showed comparable recovery of sEVs with higher purity in contrast to single-step UC or SEC isolation. In our proteomic analysis, there are 992 protein species identified in the sEVs fractions isolated by SEC+UC, much more than the sEVs fractions isolated by UC (453) or SEC (682) alone. As compared to Vesiclepedia and Exocarta databases, SEC+UC kept 584 previously identified sEV-associated proteins and 360 other proteins. Furthermore, detailed analysis suggested that sEV-associated proteins, such as CD9, CD81 and ITGB1, showed the better protein rank in SEC+UC group than UC group and SEC group. Lipoproteins, the most common contamination in sEVs proteomic analysis, along with other free-floating proteins in the plasma, were largely removed in SEC+UC. Conclusions: We suggested that combining SEC with UC could significantly improve the performance of mass-spectrum (MS)-based proteomic profiling in analyzing plasma-derived sEVs.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane-enclosed particles released by cells under various conditions specific to cells’ biological states. Hence, mass-spectrometry (MS) based proteome analysis of EVs in plasma has gained much attention as a method to discover novel protein biomarkers. MS analysis of EVs in plasma is challenging and EV isolation is usually necessary. Therefore, we compared differences in abundance, subtypes, and contamination for EVs isolated by high-speed centrifugation, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and peptide-affinity precipitation (PAP/ME kit) for subsequent MS-based proteome analysis. Successful EV isolation was evaluated by nanoparticle-tracking analysis, immunoblotting, and transmission electron microscopy, while EV abundance, EV subtypes, and contamination was evaluated by label-free tandem MS. High-speed centrifugation and SEC isolates showed high EV abundance at the expense of contamination by non-EV proteins and lipoproteins, respectively. These two methods also resulted in EVs of a similar type, however, with smaller EVs in SEC isolates. PAP isolates had a relatively low EV abundance and high contamination. We consider high-speed centrifugation and SEC suitable as EV isolation for MS biomarker studies, where the choice between the two should depend on the scientific questions and whether the focus is on larger or smaller EVs or a combination of both.
