Abstract
Studies have shown that gastrodin has a protective effect on blood vessels. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of gastrodin on the angiogenesis ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and its mechanism. We found that treatment of HUVECs with 10 µM and 25 µM gastrodin, and Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) significantly upregulated the miR-21 expression in the cells. Meanwhile, gastrodin significantly increased the cell proliferation, migration and tube formation ability of HUVECs and increased the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA. In addition, gastrodin promoted the phosphorylation level of PI3K/Akt protein. However, down-regulating the miR-21 expression reduced the promoting effect of gastrodin on the HUVECs angiogenesis. In conclusion, gastrodin activates the PI3K/Akt pathway by up-regulating the miR-21 expression and promotes the HUVECs angiogenesis.

Shi Q, Wang D, Ding X, Yang X, Zhang Y. Exosome-shuttled miR-7162-3p from human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells repair endometrial stromal cell injury by restricting APOL6. Arch Biochem Biophys 2021; 707:108887. [PMID: 33878328 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2021.108887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2021] [Revised: 04/13/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that exosomes (Exos) derived from stem cells can be used as paracrine factors to regenerate cells and tissues via shuttling miRNAs. Exos derived from human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) have been found to alleviate mifepristone-induced endometrial stromal cell (ESC) injury in vitro. Information on the functions and mechanisms of Exos from UCMSC-induced endometrial repair is limited and requires more study. METHODS UCMSC-Exos were isolated and identified by Transmission Electron Microscopy, Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis software, and western blot assays. The damaged-ESC model and the UCMSC co-culture system were established, while GW4869, a noncompetitive neutral sphingomyelinase (N-SMase) inhibitor, was used to investigate the effects of UCMSC-Exos on mifepristone-induced ESC injury. Cell apoptosis of damaged ESCs treated with UCMSCs was detected using the TUNEL assay and flow cytometry analysis. Then, miRNA microarrays were performed to detect differentially expressed miRNA profiles in both UCMSCs and ESCs after co-culturing. A subset of upregulated miRNAs was validated by qRT-PCR, and miRNA mimics/inhibitor were used to investigate the functions of miR-7162-3p. The miRNA-mRNA interactions were predicted by Targetscan software, while the miRNA binding sites were predicted by miRcode software. Moreover, dual-luciferase reporter, western blot assays and qPCR were conducted to identify the regulatory mechanisms between miR-7162-3p and APOL6. RESULTS UCMSCs attenuated mifepristone-induced endometrial stromal cell apoptosis by Exos, while three miRNAs (miR-6831-5p, miR-4669, and miR-7162-3p) were both upregulated in UCMSCs and ESCs after co-culture, and were candidate effectors of UCMSC-Exos-mediated endometrial repair. We showed that miR-7162-3p was shuttled by Exos from UCMSCs and regulated the expression of APOL6 by targeting its 3'-UTR in ESCs. CONCLUSIONS These results showed UCMSC-Exos protected ESCs from mifepristone-induced apoptosis and played an active role in repairing the damaged ESCs by in vitro shuttling of miR-7162-3p. The miR-7162-3p-overexpressed UCMSC-Exos may therefore be used in cell-free therapy of endometrial injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anaphylaxis is the most severe manifestation of allergic disorders. The poor knowledge of its molecular mechanisms often leads to under-diagnosis. MicroRNAs (miRNA) regulate physiologic and pathologic processes, and they have been postulated as promising diagnostic markers. The main objectives of this study were to characterize the human miRNA profile during anaphylaxis and to assess their capacity as diagnostic markers and determine their participation in the molecular mechanisms of this event. METHODS The miRNA serum profiles from the acute and baseline phase of 5 oral food-challenged anaphylactic children (<18 years old) were obtained by next-generation sequencing (NGS). From the panel of statistically significant miRNAs obtained, several candidates were selected and analyzed in 19 anaphylactic children by qPCR. We performed system biology analysis (SBA) on their target genes to identify main functions and canonical pathways. A functional in vitro assay was carried out incubating endothelial cells (ECs) in anaphylactic conditions. RESULTS The NGS identified 389 miRNAs among which 41 were significantly different between acute and baseline samples. The high levels of miR-21-3p (fold change = 2.28, P = .006) and miR-487b-3p (fold change = 1.04, P = .039) observed by NGS in acute serum samples were confirmed in a larger group of 19 patients. The SBA revealed molecular pathways related to the inflammation and immune system regulation. miR-21-3p increased intracellularly and in acute phase serum after EC stimulation. CONCLUSIONS These findings provide, for the first time, some insights into the anaphylactic miRNA serum profile in children and point to miR-21-3p and miR-487b-3p as candidate biomarkers. Furthermore, the SBA revealed a possible implication of these molecules in the underlying molecular mechanisms. Moreover, ECs increased miR-21-3p intracellularly and released it to the environment in response to anaphylaxis.

Abstract
Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) represent a great resource for regenerative medicine based on their accessibility, self-renewal potential, low immunogenicity, high proliferative rate and potential to differentiate on multiple lineages. Their secretome is rich in chemokines, cytokines and protein growth factors that are actively involved in regeneration processes. In addition, part of this secretome are also the exosomes (hASC-exos), which display high content in proteins, messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Due to their content, exosomes promote tissue regeneration by different mechanisms, either by activating or inhibiting several signaling pathways involved in wound healing, extracellular matrix remodeling, immunomodulation, angiogenesis, anti-apoptotic activity and cell migration, proliferation and differentiation. The use of hASC-exos may provide an improved alternative to standard therapies used in regenerative medicine, as a cell-free new approach with multiple possibilities to be modulated according to the patient needs. This review offers an updated overview on the functions and applications of hASC-exos in all areas of tissue regeneration, aiming to highlight to the reader the benefits of using hASCs in modern tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Adipose tissue (AT) is an endocrine organ involved in the management of energy metabolism via secretion of adipokines, hormones, and recently described secretory microvesicles, i.e., exosomes. Exosomes are rich in possible biologically active factors such as proteins, lipids, and RNA. The secretory function of adipose tissue is affected by pathological processes. One of the most important of these is obesity, which triggers adipose tissue inflammation and adversely affects the release of beneficial adipokines. Both processes may lead to further AT dysfunction, contributing to changes in whole-body metabolism and, subsequently, to insulin resistance. According to recent data, changes within the production, release, and content of exosomes produced by AT may be essential to understand the role of adipose tissue in the development of metabolic disorders. In this review, we summarize actual knowledge about the possible role of AT-derived exosomes in the development of insulin resistance, highlighting methodological challenges and potential gains resulting from exosome studies.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) secrete many cytokines, proteins, growth factors, and extracellular vesicles with beneficial outcomes that can be used in regenerative medicine. It has great potential, and the development of new treatment strategies using the ASCs secretome is of global interest. Besides cytokines, proteins, and growth factors, the therapeutic effect of secretome is hidden in non-coding RNAs such as miR-21, miR-24, and miR-26 carried via exosomes secreted by adequate cells. The whole secretome, including ASC-derived exosomes (ASC-exos) has been proven in many studies to have immunomodulatory, proangiogenic, neurotrophic, and epithelization activity and can potentially be used for neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, respiratory, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases as well as wound healing treatment. Due to limitations in the use of stem cells in cell-based therapy, its secretome with emphasis on exosomes seems to be a reasonable and safer alternative with increased effectiveness and fewer side effects. Moreover, the great advantage of cell-free therapy is the possibility of biobanking the ASCs secretome. In this review, we focus on the current state of knowledge on the use of the ASCs secretome in stem cell-free therapy.

Cancer-secreted exosomal miR-21-5p induces angiogenesis and vascular permeability by targeting KRIT1. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:576.

Abstract
Cancer-secreted exosomes are critical mediators of cancer-host crosstalk. In the present study, we showed the delivery of miR-21-5p from colorectal cancer (CRC) cells to endothelial cells via exosomes increased the amount of miR-21-5p in recipient cells. MiR-21-5p suppressed Krev interaction trapped protein 1 (KRIT1) in recipient HUVECs and subsequently activated β-catenin signaling pathway and increased their downstream targets VEGFa and Ccnd1, which consequently promoted angiogenesis and vascular permeability in CRC. A strong inverse correlation between miR-21-5p and KRIT1 expression levels was observed in CRC-adjacent vessels. Furthermore, miR-21-5p expression in circulating exosomes was markedly higher in CRC patients than in healthy donors. Thus, our data suggest that exosomal miR-21-5p is involved in angiogenesis and vascular permeability in CRC and may be used as a potential new therapeutic target.

Abstract
The treatment measures of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a worldwide challenge in oral and maxillofacial surgery because of its unclear pathogenesis. Previous studies suggested that mesenchymal stem cells played important roles in promoting MRONJ lesion healing, but the detailed mechanisms were unknown. Increasing numbers of studies have demonstrated that exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells, especially adipose-derived stem cells, have key roles in stem cell-based therapies by accelerating bone remodeling, facilitating angiogenesis, and promoting wound healing. We hypothesized that exosomes derived from adipose-derived stem cells can prevent MRONJ by accelerating gingival healing and enhancing bone remodeling processes. Our results may provide a promising therapeutic option for MRONJ clinical therapy.

Abstract
Integrins represent the biologically and medically significant family of cell adhesion molecules that govern a wide range of normal physiology. The activities of integrins in cells are dynamically controlled via activation-dependent conformational changes regulated by the balance of intracellular activators, such as talin and kindlin, and inactivators, such as Shank-associated RH domain interactor (SHARPIN) and integrin cytoplasmic domain-associated protein 1 (ICAP-1). The activities of integrins are alternatively controlled by homotypic lateral association with themselves to induce integrin clustering and/or by heterotypic lateral engagement with tetraspanin and syndecan in the same cells to modulate integrin adhesiveness. It has recently emerged that integrins are expressed not only in cells but also in exosomes, important entities of extracellular vesicles secreted from cells. Exosomal integrins have received considerable attention in recent years, and they are clearly involved in determining the tissue distribution of exosomes, forming premetastatic niches, supporting internalization of exosomes by target cells and mediating exosome-mediated transfer of the membrane proteins and associated kinases to target cells. A growing body of evidence shows that tumor and immune cell exosomes have the ability to alter endothelial characteristics (proliferation, migration) and gene expression, some of these effects being facilitated by vesicle-bound integrins. As endothelial metabolism is now thought to play a key role in tumor angiogenesis, we also discuss how tumor cells and their exosomes pleiotropically modulate endothelial functions in the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Abstract: Tumour angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis are hallmarks of cancer and have been associated with tumour progression, tumour metastasis and poor patient prognosis. Many factors regulate angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in cancer including non-coding RNAs which are a category of RNAs that do not encode proteins and have important regulatory functions at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Non-coding RNAs can be encapsulated in extracellular vesicles called exosomes which are secreted by tumour cells or other cells in the tumour microenvironment and can then be taken up by the endothelial cells of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. The "delivery" of these non-coding RNAs to endothelial cells in tumours can facilitate tumour angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. Here we review recent findings about exosomal non-coding RNAs, specifically microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, which regulate tumour angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in cancer. We then focus on the potential use of these molecules as cancer biomarkers and opportunities for exploiting ncRNAs for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSC) are present within the hypodermis and are also expected to play a pivotal role in wound healing, immunomodulation, and rejuvenation activities. They orchestrate, through their exosome, the mechanisms associated to cell differentiation, proliferation, and cell migration by upregulating genes implicated in different functions including skin barrier, immunomodulation, cell proliferation, and epidermal regeneration. ADSCs directly interact with their microenvironment and specifically the immune cells, including macrophages and T and B cells, resulting in differential inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mechanisms impacting, in return, ADSCs microenvironment and thus skin function. These useful features of ADSCs are involved in tissue repair, where the required cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and anti-inflammatory responses should occur rapidly in damaged sites. Different pathways involved have been reported such as Growth Differentiation Factor-11 (GDF11), Tumor Growth Factor (TGF)-β, Metalloproteinase (MMP), microRNA, and inflammatory cytokines that might serve as specific biomarkers of their immunomodulating capacity. In this review, we try to highlight ADSCs’ network and explore the potential indicators of their immunomodulatory effect in skin regeneration and aging. Assessment of these biomarkers might be useful and should be considered when designing new clinical therapies using ADSCs or their specific exosomes focusing on their immunomodulation activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sufficient vascular network plays an important role in the repair of bone defects. Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) being a key regulator of angiogenesis has attracted the attention of researchers. In addition, evidence has suggested that BMP2 coordinates with microRNAs (miRNAs) to form intracellular networks regulating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) angiogenesis. Elucidating the underlying mechanisms that are regulating adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) angiogenesis might provide more effective method to enhance bone regeneration. METHODS We identified the specific miRNA in rat ADSCs during BMP2-induced angiogenesis and chose the most significant differentially expressed miRNA, miR-672. Three lentiviral system named Lenti-miR-672, Lenti-as-miR-672, and Lenti-miR-NC were transduced into the ADSCs individually. Then, the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), western blotting, and blood vessel formation analysis were performed to investigate the effects of miR-672 on ADSCs angiogenesis. Bioinformation platforms were used to screen the potential target of miR-672. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) against TIMP2 (si-TIMP2) mRNA were obtained from GenePharma, and then si-TIMP2 miRNA and miR-672 were co-transfected into ADSCs to detect the effects of TIMP2 on angiogenesis. Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) scaffolds that seeded the lentiviral-modified ADSCs were constructed to test the vascularized bone regeneration in vivo. RESULTS Our data showed that after the angiogenesis of ADSCs induced by BMP2, miR-672 was the most significantly upregulated miRNA. Overexpression of miR-672 promoted the angiogenesis of ADSCs, while knockdown of miR-672 repressed the angiogenesis of ADSCs. The bioinformation prediction showed that TIMP2 might be the one of miR-672' potential targets. TIMP2 protein expression was gradually decreased in ADSCs with overexpressed miR-672. And the angiogenic factors were upregulated in the ADSCs which were transduced with si-TIMP2. Then, the CPC scaffolds coupled the miR-672-modified ADSCs and showed the good potential in vascularized bone regeneration. The overexpressed miR-672 could greatly enhance the blood vessel volume and Microfil-labeled blood vessel numbers in newly formed bone. CONCLUSION BMP2 could promote the angiogenesis of ADSCs through stimulating the expression of miR-672 in ADSCs. miR-672 acted as a positive regulator on the angiogenesis of ADSCs, and incorporating the miR-672-modified ADSCs in the CPC could significantly promote the vascularization and the bone regeneration.

Abstract
Donor-derived adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) dampen the alloimmune response and exosomes are reported to have biological activity similar to their parent cells. Here, we investigated the roles of exosomes from donor-derived ADMSCs (ADMSC-exo) in vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA). Brown Norway-to-Lewis rat hindlimb transplantations were intravenously treated with either exosome from donor-derived ADMSCs or phosphate-buffered saline, combined with a short course of immunosuppression. We established that the treatment with ADMSC-exo prolongs the survival time of VCA grafts. Skin and muscle samples from ADMSC-exo-treated animals showed no histological signs of rejection, but samples from controls showed rejection of degree III. Comparing to the control group, a significant increase of donor cell chimerism, Tr1 and Treg, while a decrease of CD4+ T and Th1 cells were observed in the ADMSC-exo-treated group. Our findings imply that ADMSC-exo may be a valuable and safe treatment for extending VCA graft survival.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma is a highly metastatic type of cancer, which arises frequently from transformed pigment cells and melanocytes as a result of long-term UV radiation exposure. In recent years, the incidence of newly diagnosed melanoma patients reached 5% of all cancer cases. Despite the development of novel targeted therapies directed against melanoma-specific markers, patients' response to treatment is often weak or short-term due to a rapid acquisition of drug resistance. Among the factors affecting therapy effectiveness, elements of the tumor microenvironment play a major role. Melanoma niche encompasses adjacent cells, such as keratinocytes, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), adipocytes, and immune cells, as well as components of the extracellular matrix and tumor-specific physicochemical properties. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge concerning the influence of cancer-associated cells (keratinocytes, CAFs, adipocytes) on the process of melanomagenesis, tumor progression, invasiveness, and the emergence of drug resistance in melanoma. We also address how melanoma can alter the differentiation and activation status of cells present in the tumor microenvironment. Understanding these complex interactions between malignant and cancer-associated cells could improve the development of effective antitumor therapeutic strategies.

MicroRNA-124-3p affects myogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells by targeting Caveolin-1 during pelvic floor dysfunction in Sprague Dawley rats. ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2021; 9:161. [PMID: 33569463 PMCID: PMC7867888 DOI: 10.21037/atm-20-8212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate using myogenic differentiation of adipose stem cells for the treatment of female pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) and aimed to further study the influences of microRNA-124-3p (miR-124-3p) in the process of myogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) through targeting Caveolin-1 (Cav1) during PFD in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. Methods The ADSCs were separated from 6–8-week-old female SD rats (n=25) and were cultivated. Then, we observed the cell status and conducted fat and osteogenic experiments. We then constructed an ADSC-green fluorescent protein (GFP) stable transfer strain. Flow cytometry was used to identify the positive rates of CD44, CD90, and CD45 in ADSCs and ADSC-GFP. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting were used to mRNA and protein expression levels. Myogenic differentiation of ADSCs was measured with immunofluorescence methods. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was executed to affirm whether Cav1 was a target of miR-124-3p. Results The isolated ADSCs cells were in good condition under the microscope. The results of flow cytometry showed that the positive rate of CD44 and CD90 was high, and the positive rate of CD45 was low in ADSCs and ADSC-GFP. Under normal culture conditions, ADSCs-GFP cells can be massively adipated and osteogenic. After 5-Aza induced ADSC-GFP myogenic differentiation, the level of miR-124-3p was significantly increased. We found that MiR-124-3p mimics promoted the myogenic differentiation of ADSCs. Moreover, we discovered that Cav1 was a target gene of miR-124-3p and was negatively regulated by miR-124-3p. The results of leak point pressure (LPP), hematoxylin and eosin (HE), and Masson showed that the collagen fiber content of the PFD group was lower than that of the control group; the collagen fiber content of ADSC-GFP, 5-Aza, or miR-124-3p mimics were increased after intervention. Furthermore, the outcomes qRT-PCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence suggested that miR-124-3p facilitated the survival ADSC-GFP fat transplantation by regulating many key factors in vivo. Conclusions These results proofed that miR-124-3p could accelerate myogenic differentiation of ADSCs by down-regulating Cav1 to improve PFD in SD rats, which will pave the way for therapeutic delivery of miRNA targeting PFD disease.

Abstract
Obesity is a modern health problem that has reached pandemic proportions. It is an established risk factor for carcinogenesis, however, evidence for the contribution of adipose tissue to the metastatic behavior of tumors is also mounting. Over 90% of cancer mortality is attributed to metastasis and metastatic tumor cells must communicate with their microenvironment for survival. Many of the characteristics observed in obese adipose tissue strongly mirror the tumor microenvironment. Thus in the case of prostate, pancreatic and breast cancer and esophageal adenocarcinoma, which are all located in close anatomical proximity to an adipose tissue depot, the adjacent fat provides an ideal microenvironment to enhance tumor growth, progression and metastasis. Adipocytes provide adipokines, fatty acids and other soluble factors to tumor cells whilst immune cells infiltrate the tumor microenvironment. In addition, there are emerging studies on the role of the extracellular vesicles secreted from adipose tissue, and the extracellular matrix itself, as drivers of obesity-induced metastasis. In the present review, we discuss the major mechanisms responsible for the obesity-metastatic link. Furthermore, understanding these complex mechanisms will provide novel therapies to halt the tumor-adipose tissue crosstalk with the ultimate aim of inhibiting tumor progression and metastatic growth.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is the process of growing endothelial capillary cells. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that are rich in miRNAs. Studies have shown that exosomes can carry communication between cells and various tissues by delivering miRNAs to their target organs and cells. It has been repeatedly proven that miRNAs regulate the expression of growth factors and other proteins in endothelial cells through paracrine signalling and participate in the physiological and pathological processes of angiogenesis. In the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, exosome-derived microRNAs can play important roles as biomarkers and drug carriers. In this review, we introduce the characteristics of miRNAs and exosomes and their interactions. Then, we specifically summarize the exosome-derived miRNAs related to angiogenesis, and we discuss the potential uses of exosome-derived miRNAs for diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Background Both magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and exosomes derived from bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC-Exos) have been reported to improve wound healing. In this study, novel exosomes (mag-BMSC-Exos) would be fabricated from BMSCs with the stimulation of MNPs and a static magnetic field (SMF) to further enhance wound repair. Methods Mag-BMSC-Exos, namely, exosomes derived from BMSCs preconditioned with Fe3O4 nanoparticles and a SMF, together with BMSC-Exos were both first isolated by ultracentrifugation, respectively. Afterwards, we conducted in vitro experiments, including scratch wound assays, transwell assays, and tube formation assays, and established an in vivo wound healing model. The miRNA expression profiles were compared between BMSC-Exos and mag-BMSC-Exos to detect the potential mechanism of improving wound healing. At last, the function of exosomal miR-21-5p during wound healing was confirmed by utilizing a series of gain- and loss-of-function experiments in vitro. Results The optimal working magnetic condition was 50 µg/mL Fe3O4 nanoparticles combined with 100 mT SMF. In vitro, mag-BMSC-Exo administration promoted proliferation, migration and angiogenesis to a greater extent than BMSC-Exo administration. Local transplantation of mag-BMSC-Exos into rat skin wounds resulted in accelerated wound closure, narrower scar widths and enhanced angiogenesis compared with BMSC-Exo transplantation. Notably, miR-21-5p was found to be highly enriched in mag-BMSC-Exos and served as a critical mediator in mag-BMSC-Exo-induced regulatory effects through inhibition of SPRY2 and activation of the PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 signaling pathways. Conclusion Mag-BMSC-Exos can further enhance wound healing than BMSC-Exos by improving angiogenesis and fibroblast function, and miR-21-5p upregulation in mag-BMSC-Exos might be the potential mechanism. This work offers an effective and promising protocol to improve wound healing in clinic.

Abstract
Exosomes are secreted extracellular vesicles containing a wide array of biologically active components. Recent studies have demonstrated that exosomes serve as an important vehicle for extracellular communication and exert systemic effects on the physiology of organisms. Adipose tissues (ATs) play a key role in balancing systemic energy homeostasis as a central hub for fatty acid metabolism. At the same time, proper endocrine function of ATs has also been shown to be crucial for regulating physiological and metabolic health. The endocrine function of ATs is partially mediated by AT-derived exosomes that regulate metabolic homeostasis, such as insulin signaling, lipolysis, and inflammation. During the pathogenesis of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cancer, exosomes shed by the resident cells in ATs may also have a role in regulating the progression of these diseases along with associated pathologies. In this review, we summarize the contents of AT-derived exosomes and their effects on various cell populations along with possible underlying molecular mechanisms. We further discuss the potential applications of exosomes as a drug delivery tool and therapeutic target.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological cancer due to lack of early screening methods and acquired drug resistance. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are effective post‐transcriptional regulators that are transferred by extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes. Numerous studies have revealed that miRNAs are differentially expressed in epithelial ovarian cancer and act either as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Cancer cells secrete exosomes containing miRNAs, which exert various effects on the components of the tumor microenvironment, including cancer‐associated fibroblasts, macrophages, and adipocytes. Conversely, cancer cells also receive exosomes from these cells. As a result of cell‐to‐cell communication, epithelial ovarian cancer acquires a more aggressive phenotype and resistance to multiple drugs. In addition, some circulating miRNAs are protected from RNase degradation in the peripheral blood and can be potential non‐invasive biomarkers. In particular, the combination of several circulating miRNAs enhances the accuracy of cancer screening. Likewise, comprehensive analyses revealed specific miRNA signatures in non‐epithelial ovarian tumors and several miRNAs contributing to alterations of carcinogenic pathways. Overall, miRNAs play a crucial role in ovarian cancer progression. In this review, we discuss the emerging roles of intra‐ and extracellular miRNAs in ovarian cancers. In the near future, miRNAs will be practical biomarkers and computational deep learning will help in the clinical application of miRNAs. Moreover, miRNAs are potential therapeutic targets and agents, and there are ongoing clinical trials of miRNA replacement therapy. Therefore, accelerating research on miRNA might improve the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degenerative diseases are a common problem in the world, and they cause substantial social and economic burdens for people. The current methods for treating IVD degenerative diseases mainly include surgery and conservative treatment, which cannot fundamentally restore the normal structure of the disc. With continuous research on the mechanism of degeneration and the development of regenerative medicine, rapid progress has been made in the field of regenerative medicine regarding the use of stem cell-derived exosomes, which are active biological substances used in intercellular communication, because they show a strong effect in promoting tissue regeneration. The study of exosomes in the field of IVD degeneration has just begun, and many surprising achievements have been made. This paper mainly reviews the biological characteristics of exosomes and highlights the current status of exosomes in the field of IVD degeneration, as well as future developments regarding exosomes.

Abstract
With the increase of an aging population and the rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases, heart failure (HF) patients are on the rise every year. Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of HF in patients among cardiovascular diseases. In clinic, patients with MI are often assessed by biochemical indicators, electrocardiography, brain natriuretic peptide levels, myocardial enzymology, echocardiography and other means to predict the occurrence of HF and ventricular remodeling (VR). But there is still a lack of more accurate evaluation. VR is the basic mechanism of HF. In recent years, the molecular mechanism of VR has been studied mainly from the aspects of myocardial hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, inflammation, myocardial energy disorder, apoptosis, autophagy and pyroptosis. Exosomes are considered as the main mediators of intercellular information transmission. In addition, exosomes can promote the migration and transformation of intercellular RNAs, which are highly conserved non-coding RNAs. They can mediate the process of cell proliferation and differentiation of the target cell membrane. Exosomes have protective effects on VR after MI by inhibiting fibrosis, promoting angiogenesis and inhibiting inflammation and pyroptosis. We reviewed the specific protective mechanisms of exosomes for VR after MI. In addition, we discussed the formation of targeted exosomes and the role of non-coding RNAs in VR.

MicroRNA-21-Enriched Exosomes as Epigenetic Regulators in Melanomagenesis and Melanoma Progression: The Impact of Western Lifestyle Factors. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12082111. [PMID: 32751207 PMCID: PMC7464294 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12082111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2020] [Revised: 07/16/2020] [Accepted: 07/24/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
DNA mutation-induced activation of RAS-BRAF-MEK-ERK signaling associated with intermittent or chronic ultraviolet (UV) irradiation cannot exclusively explain the excessive increase of malignant melanoma (MM) incidence since the 1950s. Malignant conversion of a melanocyte to an MM cell and metastatic MM is associated with a steady increase in microRNA-21 (miR-21). At the epigenetic level, miR-21 inhibits key tumor suppressors of the RAS-BRAF signaling pathway enhancing proliferation and MM progression. Increased MM cell levels of miR-21 either result from endogenous upregulation of melanocytic miR-21 expression or by uptake of miR-21-enriched exogenous exosomes. Based on epidemiological data and translational evidence, this review provides deeper insights into environmentally and metabolically induced exosomal miR-21 trafficking beyond UV-irradiation in melanomagenesis and MM progression. Sources of miR-21-enriched exosomes include UV-irradiated keratinocytes, adipocyte-derived exosomes in obesity, airway epithelium-derived exosomes generated by smoking and pollution, diet-related exosomes and inflammation-induced exosomes, which may synergistically increase the exosomal miR-21 burden of the melanocyte, the transformed MM cell and its tumor environment. Several therapeutic agents that suppress MM cell growth and proliferation attenuate miR-21 expression. These include miR-21 antagonists, metformin, kinase inhibitors, beta-blockers, vitamin D, and plant-derived bioactive compounds, which may represent new options for the prevention and treatment of MM.

J Cell Mol Med 2020; 24:9590-9604. [PMID: 32666704 PMCID: PMC7520275 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.15387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2020] [Revised: 03/19/2020] [Accepted: 04/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Adipose‐derived stem cells (ASC) are said to have a pivotal role in wound healing. Specifically, ASC‐secreted extracellular vesicles (EV) carry diverse cargos such as microRNAs (miRNAs) to participate in the ASC‐based therapies. Considering its effects, we aimed to investigate the role of ASC‐EVs in the cutaneous wound healing accompanied with the study on the specific cargo‐medicated effects on wound healing. Two full‐thickness excisional skin wounds were created on mouse dorsum, and wound healing was recorded at the indicated time points followed by histological analysis and immunofluorescence staining for CD31 and α‐SMA. Human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) and human microvascular endothelial cells (HMECs) were co‐cultured with EVs isolated from ASC (ASC‐EVs), respectively, followed by the evaluation of their viability and mobility using CCK‐8, scratch test and transwell migration assays. Matrigel‐based angiogenesis assays were performed to evaluate vessel‐like tube formation by HMECs in vitro. ASC‐EVs accelerated the healing of full‐thickness skin wounds, increased re‐epithelialization and reduced scar thickness whilst enhanced collagen synthesis and angiogenesis in murine models. However, miR‐486‐5p antagomir abrogated the ASC‐EVs‐induced effects. Intriguingly, miR‐486‐5p was found to be highly enriched in ASC‐EVs, exhibiting an increase in viability and mobility of HSFs and HMECs and enhanced the angiogenic activities of HMECs. Notably, we also demonstrated that ASC‐EVs‐secreted miR‐486‐5p achieved the aforesaid effects through its target gene Sp5. Hence, our results suggest that miR‐486‐5p released by ASC‐EVs could be a critical mediator to develop an ASC‐based therapeutic strategy for wound healing.

Abstract
There is clinical interest in using human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASC) to treat a range of inflammatory and regenerative conditions. Aspects of ASC biology, including their regenerative potential and paracrine effect, are likely to be modulated, in part, by microRNAs, small RNA molecules that are embedded as regulators of gene-expression in most biological pathways. However, the effect of standard isolation and expansion protocols on microRNA expression in ASC is not well explored. Here, by using an untouched and enriched population of primary human ASC, we demonstrate that there are rapid and significant changes in microRNA expression when ASC are subjected to standard isolation and expansion methods. Functional studies focusing on miR-378 indicate that these changes in expression may have an impact on phenotype and function. Specifically, we found that increased levels of miR-378 significantly promoted adipogenesis in late passage ASC. These results are informative to maximizing the potential of ASC for use in various clinical applications, and they have implications for targeting microRNAs as a therapeutic strategy for obesity or metabolic disease.

Abstract
Adipose tissue derived stem cells (ADSCs) are mesenchymal stem cells identified within subcutaneous tissue at the base of the hair follicle (dermal papilla cells), in the dermal sheets (dermal sheet cells), in interfollicular dermis, and in the hypodermis tissue. These cells are expected to play a major role in regulating skin regeneration and aging-associated morphologic disgraces and structural deficits. ADSCs are known to proliferate and differentiate into skin cells to repair damaged or dead cells, but also act by an autocrine and paracrine pathway to activate cell regeneration and the healing process. During wound healing, ADSCs have a great ability in migration to be recruited rapidly into wounded sites added to their differentiation towards dermal fibroblasts (DF), endothelial cells, and keratinocytes. Additionally, ADSCs and DFs are the major sources of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins involved in maintaining skin structure and function. Their interactions with skin cells are involved in regulating skin homeostasis and during healing. The evidence suggests that their secretomes ensure: (i) The change in macrophages inflammatory phenotype implicated in the inflammatory phase, (ii) the formation of new blood vessels, thus promoting angiogenesis by increasing endothelial cell differentiation and cell migration, and (iii) the formation of granulation tissues, skin cells, and ECM production, whereby proliferation and remodeling phases occur. These characteristics would be beneficial to therapeutic strategies in wound healing and skin aging and have driven more insights in many clinical investigations. Additionally, it was recently presented as the tool key in the new free-cell therapy in regenerative medicine. Nevertheless, ADSCs fulfill the general accepted criteria for cell-based therapies, but still need further investigations into their efficiency, taking into consideration the host-environment and patient-associated factors.

Abstract
The paracrine effect, mediated by chemical signals that induce a physiological response on neighboring cells in the same tissue, is an important regenerative mechanism for stem cell-based therapy. Exosomes are cell-secreted nanovesicles (50–120 nm) of endosomal origin, and have been demonstrated to be a major contributor to the observed stem cell-mediated paracrine effect in the cardiac repair process. Following cardiac injury, exosomes deriving from exogenous stem cells have been shown to regulate cell apoptosis, proliferation, angiogenesis, and fibrosis in the infarcted heart. Exosomes also play a crucial role in the intercellular communication between donor and recipient cells. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are promising cell sources for autologous cell therapy in regenerative medicine. Here, we review recent advances in the field of progenitor-cell derived, exosome-based cardiac repair, with special emphasis on exosomes derived from hiPSCs.
