Human neural cell type‐specific extracellular vesicle proteome defines disease‐related molecules associated with activated astrocytes in Alzheimer's disease brain

In neurodegenerative diseases, extracellular vesicles (EVs) transfer pathogenic molecules and are consequently involved in disease progression. We have investigated the proteomic profiles of EVs that were isolated from four different human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived neural cell types (exc...

Sumario:In neurodegenerative diseases, extracellular vesicles (EVs) transfer pathogenic molecules and are consequently involved in disease progression. We have investigated the proteomic profiles of EVs that were isolated from four different human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived neural cell types (excitatory neurons, astrocytes, microglia‐like cells, and oligodendrocyte‐like cells). Novel cell type‐specific EV protein markers were then identified for the excitatory neurons (ATP1A3, NCAM1), astrocytes (LRP1, ITGA6), microglia‐like cells (ITGAM, LCP1), and oligodendrocyte‐like cells (LAMP2, FTH1), as well as 16 pan‐EV marker candidates, including integrins and annexins. To further demonstrate how cell‐type‐specific EVs may be involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD), we performed protein co‐expression network analysis and conducted cell type assessments for the proteomes of brain‐derived EVs from the control, mild cognitive impairment, and AD cases. A protein module enriched in astrocyte‐specific EV markers was most significantly associated with the AD pathology and cognitive impairment, suggesting an important role in AD progression. The hub protein from this module, integrin‐β1 (ITGB1), was found to be significantly elevated in astrocyte‐specific EVs enriched from the total brain‐derived AD EVs and associated with the brain β‐amyloid and tau load in independent cohorts. Thus, our study provides a featured framework and rich resource for the future analyses of EV functions in neurodegenerative diseases in a cell type‐specific manner.
