Characterization of protein and RNA content of EVs isolated from different biofluids. (A) Quantity of total RNA extracted from CCM-EVs using UC and iSUF (n = 6; p < 0.05). (B) Comparison of proteins extracted from CCM-EVs using UC and iSUF (n = 6; p < 0.05). (C) Quantification of total RNA extracted from serum and urine EVs isolated by iSUF. (D) Quantification of EV proteins isolated from serum and urine EVs isolated by iSUF. (E) Western blot analysis of CD63 and CD9 expression in original CCM, CCM-EVs processed using iSUF and UC, original serum and urine, serum and urine-EVs processed using iSUF. The expression level of CD63 and CD9 was calculated using an equal mass (40 μg) of protein lysates from samples. (F). Total RNA of EVs isolated using different EV isolation methods. Black boxplots were the absolute amount of RNA isolated from 0.5 mL of serum. iSUF isolated the most RNA contents from serum EVs (n = 5; p < 0.05) (mean ± STD).
