ABSTRACT
Approximately 15% of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients develop a progressive form of disease from onset; this condition (primary progressive-PP) MS is difficult to diagnose and treat, and is associated with a poor prognosis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) of brain origin isolated from blood and their protein cargoes could function as a biomarker of pathological conditions. We verified whether MBP and MOG content in oligodendrocytes-derived EVs (ODEVs) could be biomarkers of MS and could help in the differential diagnosis of clinical MS phenotypes. A total of 136 individuals (7 clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), 18 PPMS, 49 relapsing remitting (RRMS)) and 70 matched healthy controls (HC) were enrolled. ODEVs were enriched from serum by immune-capture with anti-MOG antibody; MBP and MOG protein cargoes were measured by ELISA. MBP concentration in ODEVs was significantly increased in CIS (p < 0.001), RRMS (p < 0.001) and PPMS (p < 0.001) compared to HC and was correlated with disease severity measured by EDSS and MSSS. Notably, MBP concentration in ODEVs was also significantly augmented in PPMS compared to RRMS (p = 0.004) and CIS (p = 0.03). Logistic regression and ROC analyses confirmed these results. A minimally invasive blood test measuring the concentration of MBP in ODEVs is a promising tool that could facilitate MS diagnosis.
