Proteomics Analysis of Exosomes from Patients with Active Tuberculosis Reveals Infection Profiles and Potential Biomarkers
Frontiers in microbiology(2022)
摘要
Although mycobacterial proteins in exosomes from peripheral serum of patients with tuberculosis (TB) have been identified, other exact compositions of exosomes remain unknown. In the present study, a comprehensive proteomics analysis of serum exosomes derived from patients with active TB (ATB) was performed. Exosomes from patients with ATB were characterized using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and western blotting analysis. Then identified protein components were quantified by label-free proteomics and were determined via bioinformatics analysis. A total of 123 differential proteins were identified in ATB serum exosomes and analyzed with Gene Ontology (GO) analysis. Among these proteins heat shock protein70 (HSP70), CD81, major histocompatibility complex-I (MHC-I ) and tumor susceptibility gene101 (TSG101) were present in exosomes of ATB and normal individuals confirmed via western blotting. In addition, among identified exosomal proteins lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) increased significantly, but CD36 and MHC-I decreased significantly in ATB exosomes. Meanwhile, MHC-I was down-expressed in serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of ATB, but interestingly CD36 was down-regulated in serum and up-expressed in PBMCs of ATB patients validated with ELISA and flow cytometry. CD36 was up-regulated by M. tuberculosis H37Ra infection in macrophages and suppressed in exosomes from H37Ra infected macrophages detected by western blotting. This study provided a comprehensive description of the exosome proteome in the serum of patients with ATB and revealed certain potential biomarkers associated with TB infection.
