    Abstract Despite optimal multimodal treatment including surgical resection, 50%-80% of high-grade soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients metastasize. Here, we present a protocol for the generation and use of post-surgical minimal residual disease models to investigate metastatic relapse in STS patient-derived xenografts. We describe steps for orthotopic engraftment of high-grade STS patient-derived tumor tissue. We then detail procedures for primary tumor resection with broad, negative resection margins and follow-up until metastases using MRI. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Fischer et al. (2023).

    Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain a plethora of biomolecules, including nucleic acids, with diverse diagnostic and therapeutic application potential. Although reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is the most widely applied laboratory technique to evaluate gene expression, its applicability in EV research is challenged by the lack of universal and stably present reference genes (RGs). In this study, we identify, validate and establish SNRPG, OST4, TOMM7 and NOP10 as RGs for the normalization of EV-associated genes by RT-qPCR. We show the stable presence of SNRPG, OST4, TOMM7 and NOP10 in multiple cell lines and their secreted EVs (n = 12) under different (patho)physiological conditions as well as in human-derived biofluids (n = 3). Enzymatic treatments confirm the presence of SNRPG, OST4, TOMM7 and NOP10 inside EVs. In addition, the four EV-associated RGs are stably detected in a size-range of EV subpopulations. RefFinder analysis reveals that SNRPG, OST4, TOMM7 and NOP10 are more stable compared to RGs established specifically for cultured cells or tissues such as HMBS, YWHAZ, SDHA and GAPDH. In summary, we present four universal and stably present EV-associated RGs to enable normalization and thus steer the implementation of RT-qPCR for the analysis of EV-associated RNA cargo for research or clinical applications.

    Abstract Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a currently intractable genetic disorder characterized by progressive ectopic calcification in the skin, eyes and arteries. Therapeutic trials in PXE are severely hampered by the lack of reliable biomarkers. Serum calcification propensity T50 is a blood test measuring the functional anticalcifying buffer capacity of serum. Here, we evaluated T50 in PXE patients aiming to investigate its determinants and suitability as a potential biomarker for disease severity. Fifty-seven PXE patients were included in this cross-sectional study, and demographic, clinical, imaging and biochemical data were collected from medical health records. PXE severity was assessed using Phenodex scores. T50 was measured using a validated, nephelometry-based assay. Multivariate models were then created to investigate T50 determinants and associations with disease severity. In short, the mean age of patients was 45.2 years, 68.4% was female and mean serum T50 was 347 min. Multivariate regression analysis identified serum fetuin-A (p < 0.001), phosphorus (p = 0.007) and magnesium levels (p = 0.034) as significant determinants of T50, while no correlations were identified with serum calcium, eGFR, plasma PPi levels or the ABCC6 genotype. After correction for covariates, T50 was found to be an independent determinant of ocular (p = 0.013), vascular (p = 0.013) and overall disease severity (p = 0.016) in PXE. To conclude, shorter serum T50—indicative of a higher calcification propensity—was associated with a more severe phenotype in PXE patients. This study indicates, for the first time, that serum T50 might be a clinically relevant biomarker in PXE and may thus be of importance to future therapeutic trials.
