[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the hollow glass microspheres is coated with irregular PEI, which provides abundant metal chelation sites, which is conducive to the growth of Zr-MOF. Ultimately, a high density of Zr-MOF is formed on the surface of the bubble, proving the successful preparation of floating B@MOF.

[0067] Once the cell density reached 80%, the complete culture medium was changed to serum-free medium, and the cells were incubated in an incubator for another 48 hours. Afterward, the supernatant was collected and centrifuged at 4°C (3000g, 15min) to remove intact cells and cell debris. The supernatant was then filtered through a 0.45μm membrane, and the filtrate was transferred to a 15mL ultrafiltration tube and centrifuged at 4°C (5000g, 15min) to concentrate the medium. The concentrated medium was collected in centrifuge tubes, and ExoQuick-TC was added. TM Reagents (concentrated culture medium and ExoQuick-TC) TM The reagent volume ratio is 5:1.

[0074] As shown in Figure 5 , after 5 min of incubation, the surface of the B@MOF@EV complex has obvious fluorescence and is stable, indicating that the EV can be quickly captured by the floating B@MOF.

[0075] <Experiment Five> Preparation test of SERS nanolabels

[0076] According to the procedure shown in Figure 6 , a plurality of SERS nanolabels are prepared.

[0077] Take 1 μL Raman reporter molecules (4-mercapto pyridine (MPY), 4-nitro thiophenol (NTP), 4-ethynyl benzoic acid (EBA), 4-mercapto benzonitrile (MBN), 10 mM) and 1 μL 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid di(N-hydroxy succinimidyl ester) (DSP, 10 mM) respectively mixed with 100 μL AuAg solution at room temperature for 5 h to assemble the molecular layer on the surface of AuAg, centrifuged (8000 rpm, 5 min) to remove free molecules, and 100 μL PBS (0.1 mM) was added to re-disperse the precipitate, then 1 μL antibody (anti-EGFR, ant-CD63, anti-HER2 and anti-EpCAM, 500 μg / mL) was added respectively, incubated at room temperature for 2 h, then centrifuged (8000 rpm, 5 min) at 4°C to remove free antibodies, 100 μL PBS buffer (containing 0.1% BSA) was added to re-disperse the precipitate, and finally the prepared SERS nanolabels (MPY-EGFR, NTP-CD63, EBA-HER2 and MBN-EpCAM) were stored in a 4°C refrigerator for subsequent experiments.

[0078] The Raman spectra of the four SERS nanolabels were collected using a portable Raman spectrometer. The results are shown in Figure 6 As shown, the characteristic Raman peaks (MPY-EGFR: 1005 cm -1 , NTP-CD63: 1350 cm -1 , EBA-HER2: 2026 cm -1 , MBN-EpCAM: 2230 cm -1 ) of each SERS nanolabel can be observed and are not overlapped, so that multi-element SERS analysis can be achieved.

[0079] <Experiment six> Characterization experiment of floating B@MOF for the feasibility of EV multi-element SERS analysis

[0080] In order to verify the feasibility of multi-element analysis, the floating B@MOF (B@MOF@EV complex) capturing EVs was incubated with MPY-EGFR, NTP-CD63, EBA-HER2, MBN-EpCAM respectively for 45 min, then the complex was allowed to float to the liquid surface, the free SERS nanolabels in the lower layer were removed, and washed with PBS buffer for three times, finally the complex was dropped on a silicon wafer, and the single bubble was imaged by a confocal Raman spectrometer or the Raman spectrum was collected by a portable Raman spectrometer.

[0081] As shown in Figure 7As shown, the Raman imaging and relative Raman intensity of single bubble in blank group (PBS) (replaced with PBS instead of EV), L02 EV (normal liver cell source) group and HepG2 EV (human hepatoma cell source) group have significant difference, which proves the feasibility of floating B@MOF for EV multi-element SERS analysis.

[0082] Experiment Seven: Floating B@MOF for phenotype analysis of EVs from different cell sources

[0083] According to Figure 8 As shown in a, after the EVs from different cell sources were captured by floating B@MOF, the SERS nanotags surface antibodies can recognize the EV surface protein markers, and then SERS analysis is carried out.

[0084] In order to verify that floating B@MOF can be used for phenotype analysis of EVs from different cell sources, after floating B@MOF captured EVs from different cell sources (human hepatoma cells (HepG2), human normal liver cells (L02), human breast cancer cells (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, SK-BR-3), human epidermal carcinoma cells (A-431), human lung cancer cells (A549), human cervical cancer cells (HeLa)), they were incubated with MPY-EGFR, NTP-CD63, EBA-HER2, MBN-EpCAM respectively for 45 min.

[0085] Then, the complex was allowed to float to the liquid surface, the free SERS nanotags in the lower layer were removed, and the complex was washed with PBS buffer for three times. Finally, the complex was dropped on a silicon wafer, and the Raman spectrum was collected by a portable Raman spectrometer.

[0086] As Figure 8 As shown in b, 8c, CD63 is highly expressed in EVs from different cell sources, while the expression of other surface protein markers has differences. For example, EGFR is highly expressed in A-431 cell-derived EVs, HER2 is highly expressed in SK-BR-3 cell-derived EVs, and EpCAM is highly expressed in HepG2, MCF-7 and A-431 cell-derived EVs. Therefore, floating B@MOF can be used for phenotype analysis of EVs from different cell sources.

[0087] Experiment Eight: Floating B@MOF for multi-element SERS analysis of EVs from different disease plasma sources

[0088] To verify the floating B@MOF could be used for the multiplex SERS analysis of plasma-derived EVs from healthy people (HD, number of people n=10) and different diseases (liver cancer (LiC, number of people n=10), breast cancer (BC, number of people n=10), lung cancer (LuC, number of people n=10)), the floating B@MOF after capturing plasma-derived EVs was incubated with MPY-EGFR, NTP-CD63, EBA-HER2, MBN-EpCAM respectively for 45 min. Then the complex was allowed to float to the liquid surface, and the free SERS nanotags in the lower layer were removed, and washed with PBS buffer for three times. Finally, the complex was dropped on a silicon wafer, and the Raman spectrum was collected with a portable Raman spectrometer.

[0089] As Figure 9 a, 9b, the expression levels of EGFR, CD63, HER2 and EpCAM were heterogeneous in 40 clinical samples, but the expression levels of plasma-derived EV surface proteins in cancer patients were mostly higher than those in healthy people. Figure 9 c Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis also proved that the protein significance (p<0.01) of plasma-derived EV surface in cancer patients was higher than that of plasma-derived EV surface in healthy people. In addition, by comparing the area under the curve (AUC, Figure 9 d-f), it was found that the four protein markers had high accuracy (AUC>0.85) in distinguishing cancer patients from healthy people. Therefore, these results show that the floating B@MOF can be used for the multiplex SERS analysis of plasma-derived EVs from different diseases, and can achieve accurate diagnosis of cancer.

A method for analyzing extracellular vesicle surface protein markers for non-disease diagnosis, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: I) Mix Raman reporter molecule, 3,3'-dithiodipropionate di(N-hydroxysuccinimide) and AuAg solution and incubate at room temperature. Centrifuge to remove free molecules, add PBS solution to redisperse the precipitate, then add antibody and incubate at room temperature. After incubation, centrifuge at low temperature to remove free antibody, add PBS buffer containing 0.1% BSA to redisperse the precipitate to obtain SERS nanotags; II) The hollow glass microspheres densely wrapped with metal-organic frameworks containing extracellular vesicles as described in claim 3 were mixed with SERS nanotags and incubated. The incubation complex was allowed to float to the surface of the liquid, the lower free SERS nanotags were removed, and the mixture was washed with PBS buffer. The incubation complex was then dropped onto a silicon wafer, and Raman spectral data were collected using a portable Raman spectrometer.
