Hematuria is a common sign of many renal and urologic pathologic conditions and it may affect the proteomic analysis of urinary extracellular vesicles (UEv), nanovesicles released from all cells in contact with the urinary space.

Abstract

Hematuria is a common sign of many renal and urologic pathologic conditions and it may affect the proteomic analysis of urinary extracellular vesicles (UEv), nanovesicles released from all cells in contact with the urinary space. This condition hinders UEv based proteomic studies aiming to discover biomarkers. Therefore, we studied the effects of hematuria on the proteome of UEv and introduced a possible solution to reduce its misleading impact. We mimicked hematuria by adding increasing amount of blood to nonaffected urine and investigated its effects on UEv isolation, purity, and proteomic composition. We proposed a trypsin treatment able to reduce the impact of hematuria on UEv. The effects of the treatment were investigated by evaluating the UEv proteomic profile, the enrichment of known UEv markers, and by assessing differential protein content by MS-based label-free quantification. Results showed that as the blood contamination increased, it affected both the proteome profile and the yield of UEv isolated from urine. Our treatment with trypsin was able to counteract completely these effects for low/medium levels of hematuria, which are most commonly encountered. This promising finding could lead to the reliable use of hematuria samples for UEv proteomic investigation.
