Article Abstract

Myocardial infarction (MI), including ST-elevation MI (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI), has been the leading cause of hospitalization and death. Exosomes participate in many physiological and pathological processes and have important effects on cell communication and function. This study analyzed the proteomic characteristics of plasma exosomes with the discovery of exosomal differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in MI patients. Proteomics technology was used to identify the plasma exosomal DEPs in 41 patients in STEMI, NSTEMI, unstable angina, and CONTROL groups, and 406 exosomal DEPs were discovered. Further, 36 selected exosomal DEPs were validated with parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) in a new cohort of STEMI, NSTEMI, and CONTROL groups, and 7 were successfully verified. There were three (F13A1, TSPAN33, and YWHAZ) in the STEMI group and six (F13A1, TSPAN33, ITGA2B, GP9, GP5, and PPIA) in the NSTEMI group, and all were down-regulated compared to the CONTROL group with high sensitivity and specificity in MI that may be developed as biomarkers for MI and may become possible therapeutic targets for MI. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that these seven exosomal DEPs are of great significance in the molecular mechanism of MI. Therefore, the present study has provided insights to further explore the pathological mechanism and possible therapeutic targets in MI.

The application of ultrasound in combination with microbubbles (USMB) induces a broad spectrum of bioeffects on cells including plasma membrane disruption, cytoskeleton rearrangement, influx/efflux of cytosolic/extracellular molecules, metabolic stress and signalling pathways. This study investigated the effect of USMB on cell proteomics in human acute myeloid leukemia cells. Cells (OCI-AML-5) in suspension were exposed to ultrasound (f = 1 MHz, PD = 20 μs and PRP = 1 ms for 120 s) with and without microbubbles (Definity at 1.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), dampness is a pathogenic factor arising from impaired production and transportation of bodily fluids. While Fuling Zexie decoction (FLZXD) has demonstrated therapeutic efficacy in dampness constitution (DC) treatment, the material basis underlying its constitutional modulatory effects remains unclear.

Aim Of The Study: This study proposes objective indicators for the differentiation and therapeutic evaluation of DC and elucidates the material basis of FLZXD in DC treatment.

Background: Exosome liquid biopsies might be a good supplement for early diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD), especially those challenging cases such as connective tissue disease-ILD (CTD-ILD).

Methods: We developed a circulating exosomal proteomic signature to identify novel biomarkers of ILDs combined with high-resolution CT (HRCT) examination and a new method that makes exosome testing clinically feasible. Blood-derived exosomes were extracted and characterized using a centrifugal microfluidic disc system (Exo-CMDS)-based chemiluminescence immunoassay before being subjected to proteomic analysis by mass spectrometry.

Background: There is insufficient attention to the pathogenesis of abnormal radiological changes and molecular mechanism in the paraspinal muscles in AIS patients.

Methods: Proteomics of plasma exosomes were applied for identification of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in AIS patients through liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Bioinformatic analysis were performed to explore biomarkers.
