Fig. 2 Comparison of CSF EV and EV-depleted CSF proteins in HIV+ subjects (n=20). (a) Flowcharts summarizing numbers of total and abundant proteins detected in CSF EV fractions and EV-depleted CSF by untargeted proteomics. (b) Comparison of total peptide counts for proteins mapped to selected biological process and cellular component ontology terms in EV fractions and EV-depleted CSF. (c) Pie-charts illustrating the percentage of proteins mapped to different biological process and cellular component categories in EV fractions and EV-depleted CSF by GO analysis and expression annotation.

Fig. 3 Proteins associated with exosomes, cellular components, and biological processes are abundant in CSF EV fractions. (a) CSF EV fractions are enriched with exosomal proteins compared to EV-depleted CSF. Comparative abundance of proteins related to (b) neurons, astrocytes, myeloid cells, oligodendrocytes, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, blood-brain barrier (BBB), and choroid plexus (CP), and (c) biological processes including immune responses, inflammation, stress responses, and mitochondrial functions in EV fractions and EV-depleted CSF. Bar graphs show the number of total peptide counts for individual proteins among all EV fractions and EV-depleted CSF.

Fig. 7 Effect of oxidative stress on astrocytic, stress response, and inflammation markers in U87 cells and EVs. (a) Cultured U87 cells were treated with 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1000 µM H2O2 for 4 hours. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay (n=3). Data represent mean + SEM. (b) U87 cells were treated with H2O2 (50, 100, 250, and 500 µM) for 4 hours and generation of intracellular ROS was measured spectrophotometrically (n=3). Significant differences in (a) and (b) were evaluated by t-test (p-value <0.05). (c) Fluorescence images of intracellular ROS following H2O2 treatment (50, 100, 250 µM) of U87 cells for 4 hours. Scale bar=100 µm (d) Immunoblotting for astrocytic (GFAP, GLUL) and stress response (PRDX2, PARK7) markers in U87 cells and EVs (n=3). GAPDH and CD9 were used as loading controls for U87 cells and U87 EVs, respectively. Results are representative of three independent experiments. (e) Densitometric quantification of normalized GFAP, GLUL, PARK7, PRDX2, and CRP bands from U87 cells and EVs.

BACKGROUND: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano -sized particles present in most body fluids including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Little is known about CSF EV proteins in HIV+ individuals. In this cross-sectional study, we characterized the CSF EV proteome in HIV+ subjects and its relationship to neuroinflammation, stress responses, and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). METHODS: CSF EVs isolated from 20 age-matched HIV+ subjects with (n=10) or without (n=10) cognitive impairment were characterized by electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, immunoblotting, and untargeted LC/MS/MS mass spectrometry. Functional annotation was performed by gene ontology (GO) mapping and expression annotation using Biobase Transfac and PANTHER software. Cultured astrocytic U87 cells were treated with hydrogen peroxide for 4 hours to induce oxidative stress and EVs isolated by ultracentrifugation. Selected markers of astrocytes (GFAP, GLUL), inflammation (CRP), and stress responses (PRDX2, PARK7, HSP70) were evaluated in EVs released by U87 cells following induction of oxidative stress, and in CSF EVs from HIV+ patients by immunoblotting.

RESULTS: Mass spectrometry identified 2727 and 1626 proteins in EV fractions and EV-depleted CSF samples, respectively. CSF EV fractions were enriched with exosomal markers including Alix, syntenin, tetraspanins, and heatshock proteins, and a subset of neuronal (ENO2, NFL, NPTN, NRXNs), astrocyte (GFAP, PEA15, S100B, SLC1A3), oligodendrocyte (MAG, MBP, MOG), and choroid plexus (ACO2, CLIC6, COMT, EZR, TTR) markers in comparison to EV-depleted CSF. Proteins related to synapses, immune/inflammatory responses, stress responses, metabolic processes, mitochondrial functions, and blood- brain barrier were also identified in CSF EV fractions by GO mapping. HAND subjects had higher abundance of CSF EVs (p<0.005) and proteins mapping to GO terms for synapses, glial cells, inflammation, and stress responses compared to those without HAND. GFAP, GLUL, CRP, PRDX2, PARK7, and HSP70 were confirmed by immunoblotting of CSF EVs of HAND subjects and were also detected in EVs released by U87 cells under oxidative stress.

CONCLUSIONS: CSF EVs derived from neurons, glial cells, and choroid plexus carry synaptic, immune/inflammationrelated, and stress response proteins in HIV+ individuals with cognitive impairment, representing a valuable source for biomarker discovery.

Abstract

Study design

Results

Conclusions • Our findings suggest that CSF EVs in HIV+ individuals are likely to originate from neurons, glial cells, choroid plexepithelial cells, and BBB, and may participate in diverse types of cell-to-cell communication in the CNS.

• Higher abundance of proteins related to synaptic function, immune/inflammation and stress responses, mitochondand BBB in CSF EVs of HAND compared to non-HAND subjects suggests that CSF EVs are likely to be involved in HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment and represent a valuablesource of candidate biomarkers for future studies. • Our untargeted approach identified a number of interesting CSF EV proteins that warrant further study in large prospective cohorts using sensitive targeted quantitative assays to evaluate their potential to serve as predictive disease-specific markers.

CSF samples from 20 HIV+ subjects were collected between 1998-2013 by the National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium (NNTC)

Inclusion criteria were use of combination ART, age >40 years, and CSF viral load <50 HIV RNA copies/ml
