Characterization of EVs from macaque brain. (A) Schematic representation of isolation protocol for EVs from brain of macaques. (B) Quantification of EVs per mg brain tissue from different fractions (F1-F12) assessed by ZetaView. (C) Size distribution of EVs for the size range 45-225 nm (F1-F12) assessed by ZetaView. (D) Representative western blot images showing EV specific markers (CD63, CD9) in different fractions (F1-F12). (E) Topographic profiling of F4-F7 EVs using transmission electron microscopy (TM) under tapping mode revealed a heterogeneous population of spherical particles. (F, G) Representative western blot images and quantification (normalization with proteins in the EVs) for APP, AβmoC64, Pro-IL1β, m-IL-1β in brain derived EVs (F4-7) from saline or morphine-dependent macaques. *P< 0.05, ^P< 0.01 versus saline. Abbreviations: Aβ- amyloid beta, EVs- extracellular vesicles, IL- interleukin.
