library_construction_protocol: extracellular vesicles (EV)-RNAs, including miRNAs, were isolated by using the PAXgene blood miRNA kit (PreAnalytiX). This kit guarantees the extraction of intracellular RNA and miRNA upon cell lysis and stabilization of intracellular RNA during whole blood collection in PAXgene blood RNA tubes (PreAnalytiX). The elutes were quantified with a Qubit fluorometer (ThermoFisher Scientific) by using the RNA Broad Range assay kit (ThermoFisher Scientific). RNA quality was assessed by using Agilent RNA (15nt) fragment analysis (Agilent). Libraries were prepared using the NEBNextâ Multiplex Small RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina (New England BioLabs) (Index Primers 1-48, #7560S). Their quality and yield were measured by Agilent HS NGS fragment analysis (Agilent). The final products have approximate size of 150 bp. The 1.1 nM libraries, derived from the WB RNAs, were sequenced using the NovaSeq 6000 sequencer with a 150 bp paired-end protocol. Between 9 and 41 million reads were obtained for each sample (average of 17 million reads per sample).
