BackgroundThe diagnostic value of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is insufficient. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have displayed great potential for improving diagnostic efficacy. However, one of the main challenges that restricts the application of EVs is the lack of a clinically suitable separation method for the intra-vesicular protein detection.MethodsSaponin was used to destroy serum EVs membranes for releasing the intra-vesicular SCCA into the serum, circumventing the purification process of EVs. The concentrations of SCCA were measured and compared in 113 healthy people and 73 OSCC patients pre- and post-saponin treatment.ResultsThe concentration of serum SCCA significantly increased after saponin destroyed the membrane of EVs. The area under the curve (AUC) of serum SCCA for OSCC diagnosis was 0.6444 (95% CI, 0.5595 to 0.7293). The diagnostic AUC of serum EVs-derived SCCA reached 0.7969 (95% CI, 0.735 to 0.8588).ConclusionsThe results suggested that serum EVs disrupted by saponin could improve the diagnostic efficacy of SCCA for OSCC, which provides a simple, rapid, and high-throughput method to detect the intra-vesicular proteins of EVs and holds great potential for clinical application.
