Label-free optical redox ratio from urinary extracellular vesicles as a screening biomarker for bladder cancer

AJCR Copyright © 2022..

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been studied for their potential applications in cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring. Most studies have focused on the bulk content of EVs; however, it is also informative to investigate their metabolic status, and changes under different physiological and environmental conditions. In this study, noninvasive, multimodal, label-free nonlinear optical microscopy was used to evaluate the optical redox ratio of large EVs (microvesicles) isolated from the urine of 11 dogs in three cohorts (4 healthy, 4 transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder, and 3 prostate cancer). The optical redox ratio is a common metric comparing the autofluorescence intensities of metabolic cofactors FAD and NAD(P)H to characterize the metabolic profile of cells and tissues, and has recently been applied to EVs. The optical redox ratio revealed that dogs with TCC of the bladder had a more than 2-fold increase in NAD(P)H-rich urinary EVs (uEVs) when compared to healthy dogs, whereas dogs with prostate cancer had no significant difference. The optical redox ratio values of uEVs kept at -20°C for 48 hours were significantly different from those of freshly isolated uEVs, indicating that this parameter is more reliable when assessing freshly isolated uEVs. These results suggest that the label-free optical redox ratio of uEVs, indicating relative rates of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation of parent cells and tissues, may act as a potential screening biomarker for bladder cancer.
