RESUMEN
Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry tumor-specific proteins and RNAs, thus becoming prevalent targets for early cancer diagnosis. However, low expression of EV cargos and insufficient diagnostic power of individual biomarkers hindered EVs application in clinical practice. Herein, we propose a multiplex Codetection platform of proteins and RNAs (Co-PAR) for EVs. Co-PAR adopted a pair of antibody-DNA probes to recognize the same target protein, which in turn formed a double-stranded DNA. Thus, the target protein could be quantified by detecting the double-stranded DNA via qPCR. Meanwhile, qRT-PCR simultaneously quantified the target RNAs. Thus, with a regular qPCR instrument, Co-PAR enabled the codetection of multiplex proteins and RNAs, with the sensitivity of 102 EVs/µL (targeting CD63) and 1 EV/µL (targeting snRNA U6). We analyzed the coexpressions of three protein markers (CD63, GPC-1, HER2) and three RNA markers (snRNA U6, GPC-1 mRNA, miR-10b) on EVs from three pancreatic cell lines and 30 human plasma samples using Co-PAR. The diagnostic accuracy of the 6-biomarker combination reached 92.9%, which was at least 6.2% higher than that of 3-biomarker combinations and at least 13.5% higher than that of 6 single biomarkers. Co-PAR, as a multiparameter detection platform for EVs, has great potential in early disease diagnosis.

An effective tool to assess embryo quality in the assisted reproduction clinical practice will enhance successful implantation rates and mitigate high risks of multiple pregnancies. Potential biomarkers secreted into culture medium (CM) during embryo development enable rapid and noninvasive methods of assessing embryo quality. However, small volumes, low biomolecule concentrations, and impurity interference collectively preclude the identification of quality-related biomarkers in single blastocyst CM. Here, we developed a noninvasive trace multiomics approach to screen for potential markers in individual human blastocyst CM. We collected 84 CM samples and divided them into high-quality (HQ) and low-quality (LQ) groups. We evaluated the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and metabolites (DEMs) in HQ and LQ CM. A total of 504 proteins and 189 metabolites were detected in individual blastocyst CM. Moreover, 9 DEPs and 32 DEMs were identified in different quality embryo CM. We also categorized HQ embryos into positive implantation (PI) and negative implantation (NI) groups based on ultrasound findings on day 28. We identified 41 DEPs and 4 DEMs associated with clinical implantation outcomes in morphologically HQ embryos using a multiomics analysis approach. This study provides a noninvasive multiomics analysis technique and identifies potential biomarkers for clinical embryo developmental quality assessment.
