    FIGURE 1 (A) Graphical overview of the experimental set-up, starting with the isolation of seminal fluid extracellular vesicles (SF-EVs) from leftover semen samples via ultracentrifugation and size-exclusion chromatography. The purified SF-EV stocks showed distinctive TMPRSS2 enzyme activity and were characterised for size distribution via nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Then, we confirmed surface-exposed TMPRSS2 on the SF-EVs via high-sensitivity flow cytometry, triggering us to develop an SF-EV based in vitro screening assay for TMPRSS2-inhibitors. (B) Architecture of TMPRSS2. Native TMPRSS2 constitutes the N-terminal cytoplasmic, the transmembrane, the LDL- receptor class A, the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich and the peptidase S1 domains. The recombinant TMPRSS2 (dasTMPRSS2, 44 kDa) constitutes the LDL-receptor class A, the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich, the peptidase S1 domain (26 kDa) and an AviTag and C-terminal 8xHIS-tag (not shown), with the enterokinase-cleavable sequence DDDDK255 at the red dot replacing the native SRQSR255 amino acid sequence.

    FIGURE 4 High-sensitivity flow cytometry analysis of SF-EVs. Density plots (R670/30-A vs. SP SSC-H) of purified SF-EVs co-stained with CFDA- SE and (A) anti-human TMPRSS2-APC or (B) anti-human CD26-APC, followed by bottom-up density gradient ultracentrifugation. The plots show a 60 s analysis of fraction 6 (1:50 dilution in PBS) and are representative of technical duplicate or triplicate (n = 2–3). All axes are denoted in arbitrary units. Gates were set as described in the MIFlowCyt checklist (Table S5). (A) The density plot of CFDA-SE positive events labelled with anti-human TMPRSS2 antibody demonstrates a moderate increase in the APC signal (R670/30-A). (B) The density plot of CFDA-SE positive events labelled with anti-human CD26 antibody demonstrates a low increase in the APC signal (R670/30-A).

    FIGURE 5 Detection of TMPRSS2 in the seminal fluid-derived extracellular vesicle preparations. The detected TMPRSS2 band perfectly matches the theoretical weight of the Peptidase S1 domain (26 kDa) as calculated with ExPASy ProtParam, with the less prominent band probably arising due to off-target auto-activation of the protein (Gasteiger et al. 2005). The band detected in the PC3 cells most closely correlates to the extracellular topological domain of TMPRSS2 and can also slightly be detected in the SF-EVs. A molecular weight ladder (Std) was loaded on each gel. Std, PageRuler Plus Prestained Protein Ladder; EV, seminal-fluid extracellular vesicles; PC3, prostate cancer cell lysate.
