Figure Lengend Snippet: Characterization of sEVs isolated from human PCa plasma samples. (A) NTA shows the modal sizes of sEV particles in the plasma of patients with negative and positive biopsies (B) Representative TEM images show sEVs (white arrows) isolated from biopsy‐negative (Left image) and biopsy‐positive (Right image) patients, with visible lipid bilayers and cup‐shaped structures, scale bar‐200 nm. (C) Representative Western blots demonstrating the expression of CD9, calnexin, syntenin‐1, TSG101, and CAIX in sEV preparations isolated from plasma samples of patients with negative and positive biopsies, compared to whole cell lysates from DU145 prostate cancer cells. (D) Comparison of protein expression (ApoA1, LDHB, HBG1) in hemolyzed plasma, non‐hemolyzed plasma, and sEVs isolated from non‐hemolyzed plasma samples from PCa patients ( n = 3 each). (E) The hemolyzed and non‐hemolyzed plasma samples exhibited distinct color differences upon visual inspection(n = 3). Abbreviations: ApoA1, Apolipoprotein A1; CAIX, carbonic anhydrase IX; HBG1, Hemoglobin subunit gamma 1; LDHB, Lactate Dehydrogenase B; NTA, nanoparticle tracking analysis; PCa, prostate cancer; sEV, small extracellular vesicle; TEM, transmission electron microscopy; WCL, whole cell lysate.
