Microfluidic isolation and transcriptome analysis of serum microvesicles
Open accessAbstract
Microvesicles (exosomes) shed from both normal and cancerous cells may serve as means of intercellular communication. These microvesicles carry proteins, lipids and nucleic acids derived from the host cell. Their isolation and analysis from blood samples have the potential to provide information about state and progression of malignancy and should prove of great clinical importance as biomarkers for a variety of disease states. However, current protocols for isolation of microvesicles from blood require high-speed centrifugation and filtration, which are cumbersome and time consuming. In order to take full advantage of the potential of microvesicles as biomarkers for clinical applications, faster and simpler methods of isolation will be needed. In this paper, we present an easy and rapid microfluidic immunoaffinity method to isolate microvesicles from small volumes of both serum from blood samples and conditioned medium from cells in culture. RNA of high quality can be extracted from these microvesicles providing a source of information about the genetic status of tumors to serve as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of cancer.

mRNA profiling of serum-derived EV contents can discriminate between healthy and glioblastoma-bearing patients, and IDH-1, EGFRvIII, and c-myc alterations have been detected in EVs from glioblastoma or medulloblastoma samples.
“For example, mRNA profiling of serum derived EV contents can discriminate between healthy and glioblastoma bearing patients [118]. IDH-1 (isocitrate dehydrogenase 1) transcripts have been detected from EVs isolated from the blood of glioblastoma bearing patients using immunoisolations of EVs targeting CD63 [119].”
From Biogenesis of extracellular vesicles (EV): exosomes, microvesicles, retrovirus-like vesicles, and apoptotic bodies (2013) · cites this paper as [119]
The Results section ('Extraction of RNA from captured microvesicles'; page unavailable) reports less microvesicle RNA in healthy serum than in glioblastoma patient serum. It does not show that mRNA profiles discriminate between the two groups: the two mRNAs tested were detected in both. The IDH-1 statement in the printed sentence carries a different citation and is not attributed to this paper here. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
