Bacteria-derived DNA in serum extracellular vesicles are biomarkers for renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: This is the first study to determine the clinical importance of circulating bacterial DNA in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We performed 16S rRNA metagenomic analysis of serum extracellular vesicles (EVs) from 88 patients with RCC and 10 healthy donors and identified three abundant bacterial DNA: Bacteroidia, TM7-1, and Sphingomonadales. Combining characteristic bacterial DNA information (three bacteria-derived DNA), a BTS index was created to diagnose patients with RCC. The BTS index showed high sensitivity not only in the discovery cohort, but also in the validation cohort, suggesting that it was useful as a screening test. Furthermore, in nivolumab treatment of RCC, patients with higher levels of Bacteroidia DNA in serum EVs had significantly poorer progression-free and overall survival than did those with lower levels. This study showed that circulating Bacteria-derived DNA could be used as a biomarker for RCC.

Project description:BackgroundStress precipitates mood disorders, characterized by a range of symptoms present in different combinations, suggesting the existence of disease subtypes. Using an animal model, we previously described that repetitive stress via restraint or immobilization induced depressive-like behaviors in rats that were differentially reverted by a serotonin- or noradrenaline-based antidepressant drug, indicating that different neurobiological mechanisms may be involved. The forebrain astrocyte protein aldolase C, contained in small extracellular vesicles, was identified as a potential biomarker in the cerebrospinal fluid; however, its specific origin remains unknown. Here, we propose to investigate whether serum small extracellular vesicles contain a stress-specific protein cargo and whether serum aldolase C has a brain origin.MethodsWe isolated and characterized serum small extracellular vesicles from rats exposed to restraint, immobilization, or no stress, and their proteomes were identified by mass spectrometry. Data available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD009085 were validated, in part, by western blot. In utero electroporation was performed to study the direct transfer of recombinant aldolase C-GFP from brain cells to blood small extracellular vesicles.ResultsA differential proteome was identified among the experimental groups, including aldolase C, astrocytic glial fibrillary acidic protein, synaptophysin, and reelin. Additionally, we observed that, when expressed in the brain, aldolase C tagged with green fluorescent protein could be recovered in serum small extracellular vesicles.ConclusionThe protein cargo of serum small extracellular vesicles constitutes a valuable source of biomarkers of stress-induced diseases, including those characterized by depressive-like behaviors. Brain-to-periphery signaling mediated by a differential molecular cargo of small extracellular vesicles is a novel and challenging mechanism by which the brain might communicate health and disease states to the rest of the body.
