PMIDTitleAbstract
32944195Plasma extracellular vesicles detected by Single Molecule array technology as a liquid biopsy for colorectal cancer.Our results show that CD9-CD63 and Epcam-CD63 SiMoa assays specifically detect extracellular vesicles but not free proteins with high sensitivities. Two extracellular vesicle detection assays, CD9-CD63 and Epcam-CD63, were designed to detect universal extracellular vesicles and tumour-derived extracellular vesicles, respectively.
34295653PD-L1 detection on circulating tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (T-EVs) from patients with lung cancer.In this study, we developed an Epcam-PD-L1 extracellular vesicle (EV) detection prototype using the Simoa platform. This assay detected PD-L1 expression levels on tumor-derived exosomes from the lung cancer cell lines A549 and SK-MES1.
34992371EMT-Related Markers in Serum Exosomes are Potential Diagnostic Biomarkers for Invasive Pituitary Adenomas.Compared with that in the noninvasive group, the expression of N-cad in the exosomes of the invasive group was significantly increased, and the expression of E-cad and Epcam was reduced. E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Epcam, TGF-β, Smad3, and Smad7 were detected in the tissues and exosomes in 10 cases of invasive PAs and 10 cases of noninvasive PAs by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blotting, and immunohistochemical analysis.
