OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate whether chromatography using an ExoPUA column, an affinity column for phospholipid membranes, could potentially serve as an efficient, rapid, scalable, and reproducible method for purifying small extracellular vesicles (sEVs). RESULTS We used the ExoPUA column connected to a fast-performance liquid chromatography system. One-step chromatographic purification of sEVs from culture supernatant using the ExoPUA protocol resulted in an 82 ± 16-fold increase in purity with a yield of 38 ± 5% of sEVs. The purified sEVs contained CD9, CD63, TSG101, and miRNA (miR-21), but not the endoplasmic reticulum protein Calnexin. Transmission electron microscopy indicated that the purified sEVs were intact. The purification performance of the ExoPUA protocol showed superior results in terms of yield compared to that of the differential ultracentrifugation method, the most commonly used method for purifying sEVs in laboratories, and purity compared to that of the DEAE chromatography protocol. CONCLUSIONS The sEVs were effectively purified in the bind-elute mode and the ExoPUA column can be refreshed and sterilized with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), having high potential for multiple sEV purification in a scalable and industrial manner.

D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
D000067128 Extracellular Vesicles Membrane limited structures derived from cell membranes and cytoplasmic material, and released into EXTRACELLULAR SPACE. They circulate through the EXTRACELLULAR FLUID and through the peripheral blood in the MICROVASCULATURE where cells, much larger, cannot, thereby affecting a variety of intercellular communication processes.

D035683 MicroRNAs Small double-stranded, non-protein coding RNAs, 21-25 nucleotides in length generated from single-stranded microRNA gene transcripts by the same RIBONUCLEASE III, Dicer, that produces small interfering RNAs (RNA, SMALL INTERFERING). They become part of the RNA-INDUCED SILENCING COMPLEX and repress the translation (TRANSLATION, GENETIC) of target RNA by binding to homologous 3'UTR region as an imperfect match. The small temporal RNAs (stRNAs), let-7 and lin-4, from C. elegans, are the first 2 miRNAs discovered, and are from a class of miRNAs involved in developmental timing.
