Research Abstract

We analyzed particles (average diameter ~ 100 nm) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by nanopore-based particle detection system and detected around billion particles per ml of CSF. Electropherograms demonstrated RNA presumably derived from exosomes in CSF with average of ~900pg/ul and analysis using miRNA array chip could identify more than 200 species of miRNAs. We also explored the possibility of IgM type antibody for superficial antigens on exosome ascross-linker that can precipitate exosomes of CSF. These results indicate that miRNAs reside in exosome of CSF are novel candidate for biomarkers of neurological disorders.
