Serum Exosome Proteome of Tuberculosis Patients Demonstrated Enriched Inflammatory Response Proteins
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Detailed understanding of host pathogen interaction in tuberculosis is an important avenue for identifying novel therapeutic targets. Extracellular vesicles like exosomes that are rich in protein, nucleic acids and lipids, act as messenger and may show altered composition in infection. In this case control study, we isolated exosomes from serum of 52 subjects (all male, 33 (17-70) in years) including drug naïve active tuberculosis (ATB: n=20), non-tuberculosis (NTB: n=16) and healthy subjects (n=16). Serum exosomal proteome analysis was carried out using isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) experiments and an independent test sample sets (n=36) was used for validation. A set of 132 and 68 proteins were identified in iTRAQ-I (ATB/Healthy) and iTRAQ-II (ATB/NTB) experiments respectively. Analysis of data identified a set of 4 important proteins (KYAT3, SERPINA1, HP and APOC3) that could differentiate ATB subjects from healthy controls successfully and Western data corroborated iTRAQ findings. Identification of such a protein panel in circulating exosomes besides providing novel insights into their role in tuberculosis may prove to be useful targets to develop novel host-directed therapeutic intervention.
