The isolated exosomes were identified through nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy observation, and Western blotting, followed by total protein extraction for proteomic sequencing. Differential expression proteins (DEPs) were screened using the threshold criteria of\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      -value&amp;lt;0.05 and fold change (FC)\u202f&amp;gt;\u202f1.2, with subsequent functional analysis.

Comparative studies with healthy individuals revealed 363 DEPs in SSNHL. Additionally, 515 DEPs were identified in mild sudden deafness (MilSSNHL) and healthy controls, 982 in moderate cases (ModSSNHL) and healthy controls, and 1,161 in profound cases (ProSSNHL) and healthy controls. These proteins are involved in signaling pathways enriched by DEPs. Validation experiments demonstrated that the expression levels of these proteins consistently matched their sequencing results, ensuring high reliability. Furthermore, these candidate proteins show significant diagnostic potential for SSNHL.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The four extracellular proteins identified in this study, including RPS2, RPL19, ACO2 and APOE, may be closely related to the occurrence and development of SSNHL or serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis and staging of SSNHL.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2025.1700165","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,12]],"date-time":"2025-11-12T06:33:16Z","timestamp":1762929196000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Several proteins derived from serum exosomes are potential biomarkers for diagnosis and progression of sudden sensorineural hearing loss"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Juanjuan","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suwen","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xianhai","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Kong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"772","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1980.00790360050013","article-title":"The efficacy of steroids in the treatment of idiopathic sudden hearing loss.
