| 31136209 | Ultrastructural identification of CD9 positive extracellular vesicles released from human embryos and transported through the zona pellucida. | No abstract available |
| 31168974 | Exosome-derived galectin-9 may be a novel predictor of rejection and prognosis after liver transplantation. | Western blotting experiments revealed higher levels of galectin-9 protein in circulating exosomes from ACR recipients. |
| 31207235 | Cyclic-recombinase-reporter mouse model to determine exosome communication and function during pregnancy. | Localization of fetal exosomes in maternal uterine tissues were performed by immunostaining for exosome marker CD81 and tdTomato expression followed by confocal microscopy. |
| 31399634 | Extracellular vesicles isolated from porcine seminal plasma exhibit different tetraspanin expression profiles. | (2) Tetraspanins CD9, CD63 and CD81 are present in both seminal EVs, albeit with exosomes and MVs differing in expression profiles, suggesting dissimilar cargo and binding affinity. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that the proportion of EVs expressing CD63 and CD9 was higher in MVs (P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, respectively) than in exosomes, while the opposite was true for CD81; higher (P < 0.001) in exosomes than in MVs. |
| 31402975 | Colon cancer cells secrete exosomes to promote self-proliferation by shortening mitosis duration and activation of STAT3 in a hypoxic environment. | Our data suggests that colon cancer cells are able to promote self-growth through the secretion of exosomes, especially under hypoxic conditions, which shortens mitosis duration and activates STAT3. |
| 31410448 | miR-19a-3p containing exosomes improve function of ischaemic myocardium upon shock wave therapy. | Characterization of EVs via electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis and flow cytometry revealed specific exosome morphology and size with presence of exosome markers CD 9, CD81 and CD63. Exosomes exhibited angiogenic properties activating protein kinase b (Akt) and extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) resulting in enhanced endothelial tube formation and proliferation. |
| 31416445 | A novel population of extracellular vesicles smaller than exosomes promotes cell proliferation. | Typical exosome markers such as Hsp70, TSG101, and CD63 were found in both P100 exosomes and the P200 vesicles, but CD81 was highly enriched in exosomes but not in the P200 vesicles. |
| 31473497 | Exosomes in specific fractions of the boar ejaculate contain CD44: A marker for epididymosomes? | Noteworthy, these pig SP-exosomes were CD44-bearing when analysed by FC, with bands detected by western blotting (WB) at the expected 85 kD size. The findings pave for the selective isolation of exosomes in functional studies of their function when interacting with spermatozoa, the oocyte and/or the female genitalia, including hyaluronan-CD44 interplay. |
| 31569672 | Increased Plasmatic Levels of PSA-Expressing Exosomes Distinguish Prostate Cancer Patients from Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Prospective Study. | Statistical analysis showed that plasmatic exosomes expressing both CD81 and PSA were significantly higher in PCa as compared to both BPH and CTR, reaching 100% specificity and sensitivity in distinguishing PCa patients from healthy individuals. |
| 31623079 | Cord Blood-Derived Exosomal CNTN2 and BDNF: Potential Molecular Markers for Brain Health of Neonates at Risk for Iron Deficiency. | Contactin-2 (CNTN2), a neural-specific glycoprotein, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are important in neurodevelopment and found in exosomes. Cord blood exosomes were isolated and validated for the exosomal marker CD81 and the neural-specific exosomal marker CNTN2. |
