Abstract

To date, there are no simple and minimally invasive methods to diagnose MDR. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are shed by all cells, carry a specific cargo from the donor cells and are present in several body fluids, which means that they can potentially be easily collected from cancer patients and become the source of biomarkers to diagnose cancer. This data article contains a full list of the proteins identified in the EVs shed by an isogenic pair of chronic myeloid leukaemia cells (MDR cells and their drug-sensitive counterparts) by LC/MS/MS analysis, together with their GeneOntology analysis. In addition, it also contains data from protein content analysis and Dynamic light scattering count-rate events of the referred EVs as well as of the EVs shed from an isogenic pair of non-small cell lung cancer cells (MDR cells and their drug-sensitive counterparts). The interpretation of the data presented in this article and further extensive insights can be found in “Multidrug resistant tumour cells shed more microvesicles-like EVs and less exosomes than their drug-sensitive counterpart cells” [1].

Value of the data

  • These data describe the quantification of EVs isolated from MDR cells and from their drug sensitive counterpart cells.

  • Data regarding the use of LC–MS/MS analysis to compare EVs isolated from MDR and drug-sensitive counterpart cells.

  • EVs isolated from MDR and their drug-sensitive counterpart cells could be valuable for future research on the acquisition of MDR phenotype and improving knowledge in the diagnosis of MDR.

Data

The protein content and DLS count-rate events of EVs isolated from MDR and drug-sensitive cells have been shown (Table 1). In Table 2 a list of proteins identified by mass spectrometry, in EVs isolated from CML cells (K562 – drug-sensitive cells and K562Dox – MDR cells) have been mentioned. Moreover, Fig. 1 shows Gene Ontology analysis performed in the protein list obtained by LC/MS/MS of EVs isolated from K562 and K562Dox cells, based on the biological processes, molecular functions and pathways.

Table 1.

Protein content and DLS count-rate events of EVs isolated from MDR and drug-sensitive cells from both models (CML and NSCLC).

Protein content (μg) Count Rate (kcps)
K562 9±0.7 167.3±2.28
K562Dox 14±1.5 265.9±7.71
H460 7±2.2 149.5±9.3
RH460 11±2.8 168.4±5.8

EVs were isolated from the two pairs of (MDR and drug-sensitive) cell lines (from CML and NSCLC). Proteins were extracted and quantified. Count rate was determined by DLS. Data refers to protein quantity (μg) and count rates obtained for EVs isolated from the same number of cells. Results refer to µg±S.E. or to kcps±S.E.

1. Experimental design, materials and methods

EVs were isolated from two pairs of isogenic cell lines (MDR and the drug-sensitive counterpart) from two different cancer models, non-small cell lung cancer-NSCLC (H460 – drug-sensitive cells and RH460 – MDR cells) [2], [3] and chronic myeloid leukaemia-CML (K562 – drug-sensitive cells and K562Dox – MDR cells) [4], [5]. Cells were used to isolate EVs, for protein quantification (Table 1), Dynamic light scattering (Table 1) and proteomic experiments (Table 2 and Fig. 1).

1.1. Isolation of Extracellular vesicles

EVs were collected from the supernatant of equivalent amounts of cells, cultured in EVs-depleted culture medium. EVs were isolated from these culture media as previously published [6], [1] by various centrifugation steps.

1.2. Protein quantification

Protein amount of the isolated EVs was quantified as previous published [1].

1.3. Count rate analysis using dynamic light scattering

EVs count rate was measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS), using a Nano series Malvern Zetasizer Instrument (Prager Instruments) as previously published [1].

1.4. Sample preparation and mass spectrometry

Pellets of EVs were prepared using previously established methods [1]. Nano LC–MS/MS analysis was carried out using an Ultimate 3000 nanoLC system (Dionex) coupled to a hybrid linear ion trap/Orbitrap mass spectrometer (LTQ Orbitrap XL; Thermo Fisher Scientific) [1]. MS data analysis was carried out as previously described [1]. A protein was considered as being identified in the EVs when it was recognized at least in one of the four biological replicate samples.

1.5. PHANTER analysis

Proteins identified in the samples of EVs were analysed using GeneOntology (GO) in the PANTHER database to identify biological processes, molecular functions and pathways (http://www.pantherdb.org/).
