    Abstract:
    Exosomes are nanovesicles with a 40-150 nm diameter and are essential for communication between cells. Literature data suggest that exosomes obtained from different sources (cell cultures, blood plasma, urea, saliva, tears, spinal fluid, milk) using a series of centrifugations and ultracentrifugations contain hundreds and thousands of different protein and nucleic acid molecules. However, most of these proteins are not an intrinsic part of exosomes; instead, they co-isolate with exosomes. Using consecutive ultracentrifugation, gel filtration, and affinity chromatography on anti-CD9- and anti-CD63-Sepharoses, we isolated highly purified vesicle preparations from 18 horse milk samples. Gel filtration of the initial preparations allowed us to remove co-isolating proteins and their complexes and to obtain highly purified vesicles morphologically corresponding to exosomes. Using affinity chromatography on anti-CD9- and anti-CD63-Sepharoses, we obtained extra-purified CD9+ and CD63+ exosomes, which simultaneously contain these two tetraspanins, while the CD81 tetraspanin was presented in a minor quantity. SDS-PAGE and MALDI analysis detected several major proteins with molecular masses over 10 kDa: CD9, CD63, CD81, lactadherin, actin, butyrophilin, lactoferrin, and xanthine dehydrogenase. Analysis of extracts by trifluoroacetic acid revealed dozens of peptides with molecular masses in the range of 0.8 to 8.5 kDa. Data on the uneven distribution of tetraspanins on the surface of horse milk exosomes and the presence of peptides open new questions about the biogenesis of these extracellular vesicles.
