Isolating Astrocyte-Derived Extracellular Vesicles From Urine by Xie XH, Chen MM, Xu SX, Mei J, Yang Q, Wang C, Lyu H, Gong Q, Liu Z

“…Rapidly evolving CNS diseases require high-frequency sampling, but daily venipuncture of human subjects is highly invasive and usually unfeasible.Methods: To address this challenge, here we present a novel method for isolating astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles from urine (uADEVs), combining urine concentration, ultracentrifugation to isolate total EVs, and then glutamate-aspartate transporter (GLAST) EV isolation using an anti-GLAST antibody.Results: The identity of these GLAST+EVs as uADEVs was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, western blotting, and assessment of astrocyte-related neurotrophins.Conclusions: Leveraging the convenience and availability of urine samples, the non-invasive uADEV approach provides a novel tool that allows high-frequency sampling to investigate rapidly evolving CNS diseases.Keywords: urinary astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles, human in vivo, non-invasive, central nervous system, high-frequency sampling…”
