| 29468680 | Proinflammatory role of blister fluid-derived exosomes in bullous pemphigoid. | Furthermore, CD63 was localized mostly to keratinocytes and infiltrative granulocytes in skin lesions, suggesting that these cells were the possible sources of exosomes in blister fluid. We found that exosomes isolated from blister fluids of patients with bullous pemphigoid showed the expected size and expressed the marker proteins CD63, CD81, and CD9. |
| 29518183 | Cardioprotection by cardiac progenitor cell-secreted exosomes: role of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A. | PAPP-A knockdown prevented CPC exosome-mediated cardioprotection both in vitro and in vivo. Proteomics profiling identified pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) as one of the most highly enriched proteins in CPC vs. BMC exosomes. The active form of PAPP-A was detected on CPC exosome surfaces. These results suggest that CPC-secreted exosomes may be more cardioprotective than BMC-secreted exosomes, and that PAPP-A-mediated IGF-1 release may explain the benefit. Vesicle preparations were predominantly composed of exosomes based on particle size and marker expression (CD9, CD63, CD81, Alix, and TSG-101). |
| 29521294 | Effects of Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Exosomes on Corneal Stromal Fibroblast Viability and Extracellular Matrix Synthesis. | Interestingly, MMPs were downregulated and extracellular matrix (ECM)-related proteins including collagens and fibronectin were upregulated in the exosome-treated CSCs versus non-exosome-treated CSCs (MMP1: t = 80.103, P < 0.01; MMP2: t = 114.778, P < 0.01; MMP3: t = 56.208, P < 0.01; and MMP9: t = 60.617, P < 0.01; collagen I: t = -82.742, P < 0.01; collagen II: t = -72.818, P < 0.01; collagen III: t = -104.452, P < 0.01; collagen IV: t = -133.426, P < 0.01, and collagen V: t = -294.019, P < 0.01; and fibronectin: t = -92.491, P < 0.01, respectively). NTA revealed that the ADSC-derived exosomes appeared as nanoparticles (40-200 nm), and Western blotting confirmed positive expression of CD9, CD81, flotillin-1, and HSP70 versus ADSC cytoplasmic proteins (all P < 0.01). |
| 29575602 | Exosomal tetraspanins as regulators of cancer progression and metastasis and novel diagnostic markers. | CD151 preferentially targets exosomes to lung, lymph node and stroma cells. EXO CARTA database shows the presence of CD151 in exosomes of colorectal, melanoma, ovarian and prostate cancers. |
| 29706930 | A Preliminary Report on Brain-Derived Extracellular Vesicle as Novel Blood Biomarkers for Sport-Related Concussions. | We established a panel of biomarkers that reacted positive with CD81 (extracellular vesicle marker) and various neuron- and glia-specific antigens [e.g., neurofilament light polypeptide (NF-L), tau, synaptosome-associated protein 25 (SNAP25), glial fibrillary acidic protein, and myelin basic protein]. |
| 29720199 | Immunoassays for scarce tumour-antigens in exosomes: detection of the human NKG2D-Ligand, MICA, in tetraspanin-containing nanovesicles from melanoma. | We describe the conditions for detection of MICA in exosomes and prove, for the first time using both techniques, the co-existence in one vesicle of exosomal markers (the tetraspanins CD9, CD63 and CD81) and an endogenously expressed tumour-derived antigen. |
| 29723143 | [The role of exosomal tetraspanins and proteases in tumor progression]. | Major (CD9, CD63, CD81) and others (CD82, CD151, Tspan8) tetraspanins are widely represented in exosomes, where they interact with various proteins and form functional tetraspanin complexes. |
| 29740045 | Exosome markers associated with immune activation and oxidative stress in HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy. | Untargeted proteomics detected markers of exosomes (CD9, CD63, CD81), immune activation (CD14, CRP, HLA-A, HLA-B), oxidative stress (CAT, PRDX1, PRDX2, TXN), and Notch4 in plasma exosomes. |
| 29786755 | Cardiac progenitor cell‑derived exosomes promote H9C2 cell growth via Akt/mTOR activation. | Following treatment with a specific medium, the exosomes were purified and identified by electron micrograph and western blot assays, using CD63 and CD81 as markers. |
| 29911857 | Analysis of Extracellular Vesicles Using Coffee Ring. | Interestingly, the analysis of tetraspanin proteins of the extracellular vesicles facilitated by this method reveals that the size of extracellular vesicles is correlated with expression of tetraspanin proteins (CD9, CD63, CD81) that are associated with the size of extracellular vesicles. The findings show that CD9 and CD81 are uniformly expressed regardless of size, CD63 is highly expressed only in larger extracellular vesicles. This evidence indicates that extracellular vesicles can be classified based on size and expression of CD63. |
