At the time we started our urinary extracellular vesicles (uEV) research, the main goal was to establish if uEV can be used as a non-invasive tool to study response and progression in renal diseases

Proof of concept to increase sensitivity to evaluate minimal residual disease using mass spectrometry

  • f uEVs
  • Mass spec of uEVs and serum: monoclonal

immunoglobulin Rapid Accurate Mass Measurement (miRAMM)

  • Laser microdissection followed by mass spectrometry
  • cDNA characterization of CD138+ cells from bone

marrow

  • uEVs extraction, characterization using WB and

miRAMM

  • Longitudinal studies of serum samples using

miRAMM

Variables to take into account with uEVs to use as a clinical tool to follow renal disease response and progression

➢Urine is a highly variable fluid ➢Urine volume varies among patients ➢24 hour urine sample addresses this partly (dialysis patients barely generate any urine) ➢Protein content varies by fluid intake and GFR ➢% Albumin vs. non-Albumin protein content ➢Particle numbers (total uEVs in urine) vary by disease state ➢Types of protein excreted varies by disease state ➢Confounding factors: Non pathogenic Immunoglobulins in urine/uEVs

Towards standardization: unifying uEV protein content

Fraction of protein in uEVs over total protein in urine is around 0.3%

From this information , we can calculate how much urine volume we need to analyze 15 mg of uEV protein

The evaluation of response was made by Nelson Leung. Additional blind evaluations will be done. The western blot reading of oligomer presence was done blindly

  • uEVs were extracted

using filtering methods instead of ultracentrifugation in most cases

  • When both methods

were used, we evaluated the presence/absence of

  • ligomers in

ultracentrifuged samples

  • Urine volumes used

range from 5-20 mL Trends are in the right direction in these historical samples that were not

  • ptimized for our current

methods

The evaluation of response was made by Nelson Leung. Additional blind evaluations will be done by two hematologists. The western blot reading of oligomer presence was done blindly

ultracentrifuged samples

  • Urine volumes used

range from 5-20 mL

Testing the algorithm with historical samples:

If the uEV protein recovery is 0.3% and the amount of non Albumin loaded in the gel is 0.562 mg, Range of volume needed for assay using algorithm: 20-6808 mL urine (avg: 1147 mL) Average 24 hour urine volume from historical patients: 1491 mL Range of % albumin in urine: 3-81% (with active disease); 3-100% for patients in CR. Proteinuria range: 65-29326 mg/day

What I hope you learned today…

  • Patients with active AL amyloidosis present unique features

(oligomeric species) in their uEVs.

  • Pathogenic light chains are enriched in uEVs and are

detectable using mass spectrometry

  • Non-Albumin protein in urine is an important parameter to

standardize the uEV assay in plasma cell dyscrasias

  • We have identified the range of parameters that allows us

to observe oligomers with an assay we hope to move to the clinic in the near future
