Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale vesicles secreted into the extracellular space by all cell types, including neurons and astrocytes in the brain. EVs play pivotal roles in physiological and pathophysiological processes such as waste removal, cell-to-cell communication and transport of either protective or pathogenic material into the extracellular space. Here, we describe a detailed protocol for the reliable and consistent isolation of EVs from both murine and human brains, intended for anyone with basic laboratory experience and performed in a total time of 27 h. The method includes a mild extracellular matrix digestion of the brain tissue, a series of filtration and centrifugation steps to purify EVs and an iodixanol-based high-resolution density step-gradient that fractionates different EV populations, including mitovesicles, a newly identified type of EV of mitochondrial origin. We also report detailed downstream protocols for the characterization and analysis of brain EV preparations using nanotrack analysis, electron microscopy and western blotting, as well as for measuring mitovesicular ATP kinetics. Furthermore, we compare this novel iodixanol-based high-resolution density step-gradient to the previously described sucrose-based gradient. Although the yield of total EVs recovered is similar, the iodixanol-based gradient better separates distinct EV species compared to the sucrose-based gradient, including subpopulations of microvesicles, exosomes and mitovesicles. This technique allows for quantitative, highly reproducible analyses of brain EV subtypes under normal physiological processes and pathological brain conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. This protocol describes the isolation from brain tissue of extracellular vesicle (EV) subpopulations, including microvesicles, exosomes and mitochondria-derived mitovesicles, using a high-resolution (iodixanol) density step-gradient. EV characterization and analysis are also presented.
