Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) provide a minimally invasive liquid biopsy source of tumor-specific markers for patients who have already undergone prostatectomies. Our laboratory has previously demonstrated enrichment of the cancer-type solute carrier organic anion transporter family 1B3 (ct-SLCO1B3) and the ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily Member C (ABCC3) in castration-resistant cell lines (CRPC). However, their expression in EVs has yet to be explored. Our study demonstrated that ct-SLCO1B3 and ABCC3 are highly detectable in CRPC cell line-derived EVs. We also showed that ct-SLCO1B3 and ABCC3 were detectable in a CRPC xenograft mouse model, both intratumorally and in plasma-derived EVs. Our results provide evidence for EV-contained ct-SLCO1B3 and ABCC3 as novel, EV-based tumor markers for prostate cancer progression.
