Abstract Abuse of alcohol and tobacco could exacerbate HIV pathogenesis by transferring materials through exosomes (small nanovesicles). Exosomes present a stable and accessible source of information concerning the health and/or disease status of patients, which can provide diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for myriad conditions. Therefore, we aimed to study the specific exosomal proteins that are altered in both HIV-infected subjects and alcohol/tobacco users. Exosomes were isolated from plasma of the following subjects: a) HIV-negative subjects (healthy), b) HIV-positive subjects (HIV), c) HIV-negative alcohol drinkers (drinkers), d) HIV-negative tobacco smokers (smokers), e) HIV-positive drinkers (HIV + drinkers), and f) HIVpositive smokers (HIV + smokers). Quantitative proteomic profiling was then performed from these exosomes. Sixteen proteins were significantly altered in the HIV group, ten in drinkers, four in HIV + drinkers, and fifteen in smokers compared to healthy subjects. Only one protein, fibulin-1 (FBLN1), was significantly altered in HIV + smokers. Interestingly, hemopexin was not significantly altered in drinkers or HIV patients but was significantly altered in HIV + drinkers. Further, our study is the first to show properdin expression in plasma exosomes, which was decreased in HIV + smokers and HIV + drinkers compared to HIV patients. The present findings suggest that hemopexin and properdin show potential as markers for physiological effects that may arise in HIV-infected individuals who abuse alcohol and tobacco.
