Size-dependent sub-proteome analysis of urinary exosomes.

Exosomes are cell-derived functional microparticles which exist in most body fluids. They carry abundant signaling molecules to transfer information between cells and microenvironment. Research on exosomes' heterogeneity and constitute variations has been a heated topic in recent years. In this work, size-dependent sub-proteome analysis of urinary exosomes was investigated by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) firstly. The particle size of urinary exosomes is distributed in four main ranges naturally. We found out that these fractions contained sub-proteomes with great difference in constitution. In each fraction, 206, 134, 157, and 276 unique proteins were identified by LC-MS/MS. Differential expression of exosomal markers such as TSG101, CD9, CD63, and caveolin-1 was observed in these fractions by western blots. Biological function annotation indicated that the proteins identified in each fraction were involved in different molecular and cellular processes. It is proven that SEC can serve as an efficient analytical tool for exosomes isolation and fractionation. This work provides a new strategy to classify exosomes into sub-populations for comprehensive study of heterogeneous functionalities. Graphical abstract ᅟ.
