Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed oncogenic malignancy in men worldwide, resulting in almost 30,000 cancer-related deaths in the United States each year. Wider examination of aberrant glycosylation in prostate cancer has revealed increased expression of the glycotransferase involved in core fucosylation, (1,6)fucosyltranferase (FUT8) associating with aggressive (AG) prostate cancer and castration-resistance, with functional analyses revealing FUT8 impacting cell motility and invasiveness in prostate cancer cells. Exosomes are extracellular microvesicles (30-150 nm) that are involved in in both proximal and distal intercellular communication via the transport of proteins and nucleic acids (mRNA, miRNA, and DNA). To gain insight into the impact of increased cellular FUT8 expression on exosome biogenesis and protein cargo profiles in prostate cancer, we paired Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) and stable isotope labelling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) quantitative proteomics.
