Article Abstract
Introduction: Stroke is a devastating brain disease that causes extensive neurological impairment and high mortality. Rapid diagnosis and intervention of stroke are necessary to minimize neurological damage and improve recovery. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as potential biomarkers for stroke, suggesting promising avenues for rapid diagnosis and prognostic assessments.
Methods: This preliminary study aimed to evaluate the potential of EVs as biomarkers in the distinct pathophysiological mechanisms of hemorrhagic stroke (HS) and ischemic stroke (IS). We have identified proteins differentially expressed in EVs derived from the blood of HS and IS patients. EVs were isolated using an isolation kit, followed by proteomic analysis by LC-MS/MS to compare protein expression patterns.
Results: As a result, 15 proteins were upregulated and 4 downregulated in HS-derived EVs, and 14 proteins were upregulated and 5 downregulated in IS-derived EVs. Among these, 14 proteins were commonly upregulated and 1 protein was commonly downregulated in both stroke types, whereas the remaining proteins exhibited stroke-type-specific expression patterns. To further explore the proteomic findings, we confirmed the increased levels of CRP and PF4 in HS patients using ELISA, verifying their elevation in patient blood samples.
Discussion: Although this additional evaluation was conducted only for HS, these findings suggest that EV-derived proteins have potential as biomarkers for both HS and IS, supporting their broader applicability in stroke diagnosis.

Normal cutaneous wound healing is a multicellular process that involves the release of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) that coordinate intercellular communication by delivery of sEV payloads to recipient cells. We have recently shown how the pro-reparative activity of inflammatory cell sEVs, especially macrophage and neutrophil-derived sEVs, in the wound bed is dysregulated in impaired wound healing. Here we show that loss of Rab27A, a small GTPase that has a regulatory function in sEV secretion, reduces the release of neutrophil and macrophage-derived sEVs.

Neutrophils are granular and polymorphonuclear cells and one of the main participants of the innate immune system, which have received considerable attention due to the discovery of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Extracellular vesicles (EVs), particularly those released by immune cells such as neutrophils, have been associated with the immunopathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Besides, studies have reported a fundamental correlation between EVs and NETosis in autoimmune diseases.

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are a spectrum of mental health conditions that are the most common pregnancy-related complications in the United States. Despite great strides in developing appropriate pharmacological and psychological treatments, PMADs continue to lack biological measures for diagnosis and prediction. Such measures could be effectively utilized to subtype and mechanistically explore PMADs and appropriately leverage mental healthcare resources.

Aims: Bariatric surgery (BS) reduces obesity-associated systemic inflammation leading to multiple cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic benefits. Here, we tested whether measuring vaso-inflammatory cytokines, gut hormones, and circulating extracellular vesicles (EV) provide vaso-inflammatory-metabolic signatures that better correlate to CV-metabolic outcomes after BS, compared to a standard clinical assessment including body weight (BW) loss and traditional CV risk factors.
Methods: In 111 patients with severe obesity, conventional clinical-biochemical parameters and non-conventional vaso-inflammatory-metabolic markers were analyzed at baseline, after 1- (T12) and 3-years (T36) post-BS and were associated to post-surgical BW loss and improvement of patients' CV-metabolic profile.
