Abstract
Diabetes mellitus has surged in prevalence, emerging as a prominent epidemic and assuming a foremost position among prevalent medical disorders. Diabetes constitutes a pivotal risk element for cardiovascular maladies, with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) standing out as a substantial complication encountered by individuals with diabetes. Apoptosis represents a physiological phenomenon observed throughout the aging and developmental stages, giving rise to the programmed cell death, which is implicated in DCM. Non-coding RNAs assume significant functions in modulation of gene expression. Their deviant expression of ncRNAs is implicated in overseeing diverse cellular attributes such as proliferation, apoptosis, and has been postulated to play a role in the progression of DCM. Notably, ncRNAs and the process of apoptosis can mutually influence and cooperate in shaping the destiny of human cardiac tissues. Therefore, the exploration of the interplay between apoptosis and non-coding RNAs holds paramount importance in the formulation of efficacious therapeutic and preventive approaches for managing DCM. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the apoptotic signaling pathways relevant to DCM and subsequently delve into the reciprocal regulation between apoptosis and ncRNAs in DCM. These insights contribute to an enhanced comprehension of DCM and the development of therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease refers to the imbalance between the supply and demand of myocardial blood; it has various causes and results in a class of clinical diseases characterized by myocardial ischemia (MI). In recent years, the incidence of cardiovascular disease has become higher and higher, and the number of patients with ischemic heart disease has also increased year by year. Traditional treatment methods include drug therapy and surgical treatment, both of which have limitations. The former maybe develop risks of drug resistance and has more significant side effects, while the latter may damage blood vessels and risk infection. At this stage, a new cell-free treatment method needs to be explored. Many research results have shown that exosomes from different cell sources can protect the ischemic myocardium via intercellular action methods, such as promoting angiogenesis, inhibiting myocardial fibrosis, apoptosis and pyroptosis, and providing a new basis for the treatment of MI. In this review, we briefly introduce the formation and consequences of myocardial ischemia and the biology of exosomes, and then focus on the role and mechanism of exosomes from different sources in MI. We also discuss the role and mechanism of exosomes pretreated with Chinese and Western medicines on myocardial ischemia. We also discuss the potential of exosomes as diagnostic markers and therapeutic drug for MI.

Abstract
Sirtuins, as NAD+-dependent deacetylases, are widely found in eubacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes, and they play key roles in regulating cellular functions. Among these, SIRT7 stands out as a member discovered relatively late and studied less extensively. It is localized within the nucleus and displays enzymatic activity as an NAD+-dependent deacetylase, targeting a diverse array of acyl groups. The role of SIRT7 in important cellular processes like gene transcription, cellular metabolism, cellular stress responses, and DNA damage repair has been documented in a number of studies conducted recently. These studies have also highlighted SIRT7's strong correlation with human diseases like aging, cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, a variety of inhibitors against SIRT7 have been reported, indicating that targeting SIRT7 may be a promising strategy for inhibiting tumor growth. The purpose of this review is to thoroughly look into the structure and function of SIRT7 and to explore its potential value in clinical applications, offering an essential reference for research in related domains.

The Effects of Colchicum Dispert and Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy on Skeletal Muscle Injury in a Rat Aortic Ischemia-Reperfusion Model. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2024; 11:251. [PMID: 39195159 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd11080251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2024] [Revised: 08/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Abdominal aortic aneurysms and peripheral artery disease pose significant health risks, ranking third after heart attacks and cerebral strokes. Surgical interventions often involve temporary aortic clamping, leading to ischemia-reperfusion injury and tissue damage. Colchicine and mesenchymal stem cells have shown promise, individually, in mitigating ischemia-reperfusion injury, but their combined effects remain understudied. METHODS This study utilized 42 male Wistar rats, divided into six groups: Control, Sham, Ischemia-Reperfusion, Colchicine, Mesenchymal stem cell, and Mix (colchicine and mesenchymal stem cell). The ischemia-reperfusion model involved clamping the abdominal aorta for 60 min, followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Colchicine and mesenchymal stem cell treatments were administered as pre- and post-ischemia interventions, respectively. Mesenchymal stem cells were cultured, characterized by flow cytometry, and verified for specific surface antigens. Blood and tissue samples were analyzed for oxidative stress markers, nitric oxide metabolites, and apoptosis using TUNEL. RESULTS There were significant differences between the groups in terms of the serum total antioxidant capacity (p < 0.001) and inflammation markers (ischemia-modified albumin, p = 0.020). The combined therapy group (Mix) exhibited the lowest inflammation levels. Arginine levels also showed significant variation (p = 0.028), confirming the ischemia-reperfusion injury model. In muscle tissues, the total antioxidant capacity (p = 0.022), symmetric dimethylarginine, and citrulline levels (p < 0.05) indicated nitric oxide metabolism. Apoptosis was notably high in the ischemia-reperfusion injury group as anticipated. It appeared to be reduced by colchicine, mesenchymal stem cells, and their combination, with the most significant decrease observed in the Mix group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the potential of using combined colchicine and mesenchymal stem cell therapy to reduce muscle damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury. Further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and confirm the clinical significance of this approach in treating extremity ischemia-reperfusion injuries.

J Biol Chem 2024; 300:107568.

Abstract
Acid-sensing ion channel 1 (ASIC1) is critical in acidotoxicity and significantly contributes to neuronal death in cerebral stroke. Pharmacological inhibition of ASIC1 has been shown to reduce neuronal death. However, the potential of utilizing exosomes derived from pluripotent stem cells to achieve inhibition of Asic1 remains to be explored. Developing qualified exosome products with precise and potent active ingredients suitable for clinical application is also ongoing. Here, we adopt small RNA-seq to interrogate the miRNA contents in exosomes of pluripotent stem cell induced mesenchymal stem cell (iMSC). RNA-seq was used to compare the oxygen-glucose deprivation-damaged neurons before and after the delivery of exosomes. We used Western blot to quantify the Asic1 protein abundance in neurons before and after exosome treatment. An in vivo test on rats validated the neuroprotective effect of iMSC-derived exosome and its active potent miRNA hsa-mir-125b-5p. We demonstrate that pluripotent stem cell-derived iMSCs produce exosomes with consistent miRNA contents and sustained expression. These exosomes efficiently rescue injured neurons, alleviate the pathological burden, and restore neuron function in rats under oxygen-glucose deprivation stress. Furthermore, we identify hsa-mir-125b-5p as the active component responsible for inhibiting the Asic1a protein and protecting neurons. We validated a novel therapeutic strategy to enhance acidosis resilience in cerebral stroke by utilizing exosomes derived from pluripotent stem cells with specific miRNA content. This holds promise for cerebral stroke treatment with the potential to reduce neuronal damage and improve clinical patient outcomes.

BMSC‑derived exosome‑mediated miR‑25‑3p delivery protects against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by constraining M1‑like macrophage polarization. Mol Med Rep 2024; 30:142.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a significant challenge in the management of myocardial ischemic disease. Extensive evidence suggests that the macrophage‑mediated inflammatory response may play a vital role in MIRI. Mesenchymal stem cells and, in particular, exosomes derived from these cells, may be key mediators of myocardial injury and repair. However, whether exosomes protect the heart by regulating the polarization of macrophages and the exact mechanisms involved are poorly understood. The present study aimed to determine whether exosomes secreted by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC‑Exo) harboring miR‑25‑3p can alter the phenotype of macrophages by affecting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, which reduces the inflammatory response and protects against MIRI. An in vivo MIRI model was established in rats by ligating the anterior descending region of the left coronary artery for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 120 min, and BMSC‑Exo carrying miR‑25‑3p (BMSC‑Exo‑25‑3p) were administered through tail vein injection. A hypoxia‑reoxygenation model of H9C2 cells was established, and the cells were cocultured with BMSC‑Exo‑25‑3p in vitro. The results of the present study demonstrated that BMSC‑Exo or BMSC‑Exo‑25‑3p could be taken up by cardiomyocytes in vivo and H9C2 cells in vitro. BMSC‑Exo‑25‑3p demonstrated powerful cardioprotective effects by decreasing the cardiac infarct size, reducing the incidence of malignant arrhythmias and attenuating myocardial enzyme activity, as indicated by lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase levels. It induced M1‑like macrophage polarization after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), as evidenced by the increase in iNOS expression through immunofluorescence staining and upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines through RT‑qPCR, such as interleukin‑1β (IL‑1β) and interleukin‑6 (IL‑6). As hypothesized, BMSC‑Exo‑25‑3p inhibited M1‑like macrophage polarization and proinflammatory cytokine expression while promoting M2‑like macrophage polarization. Mechanistically, the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway was activated after I/R in vivo and in LPS‑stimulated macrophages in vitro, and BMSC‑Exo‑25‑3p pretreatment inhibited this activation. The results of the present study indicate that the attenuation of MIRI by BMSC‑Exo‑25‑3p may be related to JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway inactivation and subsequent inhibition of M1‑like macrophage polarization.

Ticagrelor downregulates the expression of proatherogenic and proinflammatory miR125-b compared to clopidogrel: A randomized, controlled trial. Int J Cardiol 2024; 406:132073. [PMID: 38643804 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2024.132073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet P2Y12 antagonist ticagrelor reduces cardiovascular mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) compared to clopidogrel, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Because activated platelets release proatherogenic and proinflammatory microRNAs, including miR-125a, miR-125b and miR-223, we hypothesized that the expression of these miRNAs is lower on ticagrelor, compared to clopidogrel. OBJECTIVES We compared miR-125a, miR-125b and miR-223 expression in plasma of patients after AMI treated with ticagrelor or clopidogrel. METHODS After percutaneous coronary intervention on acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel, 60 patients with first AMI were randomized to switch to ticagrelor or to continue with clopidogrel. Plasma expression of miR-223, miR-125a-5p, miR-125b was measured using quantitative polymerase chain reaction at baseline and after 72 h and 6 months of treatment with ticagrelor or clopidogrel in patients and one in 30 healthy volunteers. Multiple electrode aggregometry using ADP test was used to determine platelet reactivity in response to P2Y12 inhibitors. RESULTS Expression of miR-125b was higher in patients with AMI 72 h and 6 months, compared to healthy volunteers (p = 0.001), whereas expression of miR-125a-5p and miR-223 were comparable. In patients randomized to ticagrelor, expression of miR-125b decreased at 72 h (p = 0.007) and increased back to baseline at 6 months (p = 0.005). Expression of miR-125a-5p and miR-223 was not affected by the switch from clopidogrel to ticagrelor. CONCLUSIONS Ticagrelor treatment leads to lower plasma expression of miR-125b after AMI, compared to clopidogrel. Higher expression of miR-125b might explain recurrent thrombotic events and worse clinical outcomes in patients treated with clopidogrel, compared to ticagrelor.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as a crucial method for transferring information among cells, which is vital in multicellular organisms. Among these vesicles, exosomes are notable for their small size, ranging from 20 to 150 nm, and their role in cell-to-cell communication. They carry lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids between cells. The creation of exosomes begins with the inward budding of the cell membrane, which then encapsulates various macromolecules as cargo. Once filled, exosomes are released into the extracellular space and taken up by target cells via endocytosis and similar processes. The composition of exosomal cargo varies, encompassing diverse macromolecules with specific functions. Because of their significant roles, exosomes have been isolated from various cell types, including cancer cells, endothelial cells, macrophages, and mesenchymal cells, with the aim of harnessing them for therapeutic applications. Exosomes influence cellular metabolism, and regulate lipid, glucose, and glutamine pathways. Their role in pathogenesis is determined by their cargo, which can manipulate processes such as apoptosis, proliferation, inflammation, migration, and other molecular pathways in recipient cells. Non-coding RNA transcripts, a common type of cargo, play a pivotal role in regulating disease progression. Exosomes are implicated in numerous biological and pathological processes, including inflammation, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, wound healing, and ischemic-reperfusion injury. As a result, they hold significant potential in the treatment of both cancerous and non-cancerous conditions.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction, usually caused by the rupture of atherosclerotic plaque, leads to irreversible ischemic cardiomyocyte death within hours followed by impaired cardiac performance or even heart failure. Current interventional reperfusion strategies for myocardial infarction still face high mortality with the development of heart failure. Nanomaterial-based therapy has made great progress in reducing infarct size and promoting cardiac repair after MI, although most studies are preclinical trials. This review focuses primarily on recent progress (2016-now) in the development of various nanomedicines in the treatment of myocardial infarction. We summarize these applications with the strategy of mechanism including anti-cardiomyocyte death strategy, activation of neovascularization, antioxidants strategy, immunomodulation, anti-cardiac remodeling, and cardiac repair.

[PMID: 38773366 PMCID: PMC11106895 DOI: 10.1186/s12575-024-00241-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized, membranous transporters of various active biomolecules with inflicting phenotypic capabilities, that are naturally secreted by almost all cells with a promising vantage point as a potential leading drug delivery platform. The intrinsic characteristics of their low toxicity, superior structural stability, and cargo loading capacity continue to fuel a multitude of research avenues dedicated to loading EVs with therapeutic and diagnostic cargos (pharmaceutical compounds, nucleic acids, proteins, and nanomaterials) in attempts to generate superior natural nanoscale delivery systems for clinical application in therapeutics. In addition to their well-known role in intercellular communication, EVs harbor microRNAs (miRNAs), which can alter the translational potential of receiving cells and thus act as important mediators in numerous biological and pathological processes. To leverage this potential, EVs can be structurally engineered to shuttle therapeutic miRNAs to diseased recipient cells as a potential targeted 'treatment' or 'therapy'. Herein, this review focuses on the therapeutic potential of EV-coupled miRNAs; summarizing the biogenesis, contents, and function of EVs, as well as providing both a comprehensive discussion of current EV loading techniques and an update on miRNA-engineered EVs as a next-generation platform piloting benchtop studies to propel potential clinical translation on the forefront of nanomedicine.

Exp Cell Res 2024; 438:114054. [PMID: 38657723 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2024.114054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
Recent studies have suggested exosomes (EXO) as potential therapeutic tools for cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis (AS). This study investigates the function of bone marrow stem cell (BMSC)-derived exosomes (EXO) on macrophage pyroptosis in AS and explores the associated mechanism. BMSC-EXO were isolated from healthy mice and identified. RAW264.7 cells (mouse macrophages) were exposed to oxLDL to simulate an AS condition. BMSC-EXO treatment enhanced viability and reduced lactate dehydrogenase release of macrophages. An animal model of AS was established using ApoE-/- mice. BMSC-EXO treatment suppressed plaque formation as well as macrophage and lipid infiltration in mouse aortic tissues. Moreover, BMSC-EXO decreased concentrations of pyroptosis-related markers interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18, cleaved-caspase-1 and gasdermin D in vitro and in vivo. Long non-coding RNA AU020206 was carried by the BMSC-EXO, and it bound to CCAAT enhancer binding protein beta (CEBPB) to block CEBPB-mediated transcriptional activation of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3). Functional assays revealed that silencing of AU020206 aggravated macrophage pyroptosis and exacerbated AS symptoms in mice. These exacerbations were blocked upon CEBPB silencing but then restored after NLRP3 overexpression. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that AU020206 delivered by BMSC-EXO alleviates macrophage pyroptosis in AS by blocking CEBPB-mediated transcriptional activation of NLRP3.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) stand as the leading cause of death worldwide, posing a significant global health challenge. Consequently, the development of innovative therapeutic strategies to enhance CVDs treatment is imperative. RNA-based therapies, encompassing non-coding RNAs, mRNA, aptamers, and CRISPR/Cas9 technology, have emerged as promising tools for addressing CVDs. However, inherent challenges associated with RNA, such as poor cellular uptake, susceptibility to RNase degradation, and capture by the reticuloendothelial system, underscore the necessity of combining these therapies with effective drug delivery systems. Various non-viral delivery systems, including extracellular vesicles, lipid-based carriers, polymeric and inorganic nanoparticles, as well as hydrogels, have shown promise in enhancing the efficacy of RNA therapeutics. In this review, we offer an overview of the most relevant RNA-based therapeutic strategies explored for addressing CVDs and emphasize the pivotal role of delivery systems in augmenting their effectiveness. Additionally, we discuss the current status of these therapies and the challenges that hinder their clinical translation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The inhibition of M1 macrophages may be interesting for targeted therapy with mesenchymal stem cell-derived Exosomes (MSC-EXOs). This study aimed to investigate the stem cells of human exfoliated deciduous teeth-derived EXOs (SHED-MSC-EXOs) effect on regulating the pro- and anti-oxidant indexes and inhibiting M1 macrophage polarization. Besides, an in-silico analysis of SHED-MSC-EXO miRNAs as the highest frequency of small RNAs in the exosomes was performed to discover the possible mechanism. METHODS The flow cytometry analysis of CD80 and CD86 as M1-specific markers confirmed the polarization of macrophages derived from THP-1 cells. After exosome isolation, characterization, and internalization, THP-1-derived M1 macrophages were treated with SHED-MSC-EXOs. M1-specific markers and pro- and anti-oxidant indexes were evaluated. For in-silico analysis of SHED-MSC-EXOs miRNAs, initial miRNA array data of SHED-EXOs is collected from GEO, and the interaction of the miRNAs in M1 macrophage polarization (M1P), mitochondrial oxidative stress (MOS) and LPS-induced oxidative stress (LOS) were analyzed by miRWalk 3.0 server. Outcomes were filtered by 75th percentile signal intensity, score cut-off ≥0.95, minimum free energy (MEF)≤ -20 kcal/mol, and seed = 1. RESULTS It shows a decrease in the expression of CD80 and CD81, a reduction in pro-oxidant indicators, and an increase in the anti-oxidant indexes (P < 0.05). Computational analysis showed that eight microRNAs of SHED-MSC-EXO miRNAs can bind to and interfere with the expression of candidate genes in the M1P, MOS, and LOS pathways simultaneously. CONCLUSION SHED-MSCs-EXOs can be utilized to treat conditions related to M1 macrophage-induced diseases (M1IDs) due to their unique physical properties and ability to penetrate target cells easily.

Abstract
Diabetes, a group of metabolic disorders, constitutes an important global health problem. Diabetes and its complications place a heavy financial strain on both patients and the global healthcare establishment. The lack of effective treatments contributes to this pessimistic situation and negative outlook. Exosomes released from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have emerged as the most likely new breakthrough and advancement in treating of diabetes and diabetes-associated complication due to its capacity of intercellular communication, modulating the local microenvironment, and regulating cellular processes. In the present review, we briefly outlined the properties of MSCs-derived exosomes, provided a thorough summary of their biological functions and potential uses in diabetes and its related complications.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to be a significant global health concern. Many studies have reported promising outcomes from using MSCs and their secreted exosomes in managing various cardiovascular-related diseases like myocardial infarction (MI). MSCs and exosomes have demonstrated considerable potential in promoting regeneration and neovascularization, as well as exerting beneficial effects against apoptosis, remodeling, and inflammation in cases of myocardial infarction. Nonetheless, ensuring the durability and effectiveness of MSCs and exosomes following in vivo transplantation remains a significant concern. Recently, novel methods have emerged to improve their effectiveness and robustness, such as employing preconditioning statuses, modifying MSC and their exosomes, targeted drug delivery with exosomes, biomaterials, and combination therapy. Herein, we summarize the novel approaches that intensify the therapeutic application of MSC and their derived exosomes in treating MI.

Engineered bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes loaded with miR302 through the cardiomyocyte specific peptide can reduce myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. J Transl Med 2024; 22:168. [PMID: 38368334 PMCID: PMC10874538 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-024-04981-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNA (miRNA)-based therapies have shown great potential in myocardial repair following myocardial infarction (MI). MicroRNA-302 (miR302) has been reported to exert a protective effect on MI. However, miRNAs are easily degraded and ineffective in penetrating cells, which limit their clinical applications. Exosomes, which are small bioactive molecules, have been considered as an ideal vehicle for miRNAs delivery due to their cell penetration, low immunogenicity and excellent stability potential. Herein, we explored cardiomyocyte-targeting exosomes as vehicles for delivery of miR302 into cardiomyocyte to potentially treat MI. METHODS To generate an efficient exosomal delivery system that can target cardiomyocytes, we engineered exosomes with cardiomyocyte specific peptide (CMP, WLSEAGPVVTVRALRGTGSW). Afterwards, the engineered exosomes were characterized and identified using transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA). Later on, the miR302 mimics were loaded into the engineered exosomes via electroporation technique. Subsequently, the effect of the engineered exosomes on myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury was evaluated in vitro and in vivo, including MTT, ELISA, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), western blot, TUNNEL staining, echocardiogram and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. RESULTS Results of in vitro experimentation showed that DSPE-PEG-CMP-EXO could be more efficiently internalized by H9C2 cells than unmodified exosomes (blank-exosomes). Importantly, compared with the DSPE-PEG-CMP-EXO group, DSPE-PEG-CMP-miR302-EXO significantly upregulated the expression of miR302, while exosomes loaded with miR302 could enhance proliferation of H9C2 cells. Western blot results showed that the DSPE-PEG-CMP-miR302-EXO significantly increased the protein level of Ki67 and Yap, which suggests that DSPE-PEG-CMP-miR302-EXO enhanced the activity of Yap, the principal downstream effector of Hippo pathway. In vivo, DSPE-PEG-CMP-miR302-EXO improved cardiac function, attenuated myocardial apoptosis and inflammatory response, as well as reduced infarct size significantly. CONCLUSION In conclusion, our findings suggest that CMP-engineered exosomes loaded with miR302 was internalized by H9C2 cells, an in vitro model for cardiomyocytes coupled with potential enhancement of the therapeutic effects on myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are stress-responsive proteins that regulate several post-translational modifications, partly by acetylation, deacetylation, and affecting DNA methylation. As a result, they significantly regulate several cellular processes. In essence, they prolong lifespan and control the occurrence of spontaneous tumor growth. Members of the SIRT family have the ability to govern embryonic, hematopoietic, and other adult stem cells in certain tissues and cell types in distinct ways. Likewise, they can have both pro-tumor and anti-tumor effects on cancer stem cells, contingent upon the specific tissue from which they originate. The impact of autophagy on cancer stem cells, which varies depending on the specific circumstances, is a very intricate phenomenon that has significant significance for clinical and therapeutic purposes. SIRTs exert an impact on the autophagy process, whereas autophagy reciprocally affects the activity of certain SIRTs. The mechanism behind this connection in cancer stem cells remains poorly understood. This review presents the latest findings that position SIRTs at the point where cancer cells and autophagy interact. Our objective is to highlight the various roles of distinct SIRTs in cancer stem cell-related functions through autophagy. This would demonstrate their significance in the genesis and recurrence of cancer and offer a more precise understanding of their treatment possibilities in relation to autophagy.

Abstract
Exosomes are the smallest subset of extracellular signaling vesicles secreted by most cells with the ability to communicate with other tissues and cell types over long distances. Their use in regenerative medicine has gained tremendous momentum recently due to their ability to be utilized as therapeutic options for a wide array of diseases/conditions. Over 5000 publications are currently being published yearly on this topic, and this number is only expected to dramatically increase as novel therapeutic strategies continue to be developed. Today exosomes have been applied in numerous contexts including neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer's disease, central nervous system, depression, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, post-traumatic stress disorders, traumatic brain injury, peripheral nerve injury), damaged organs (heart, kidney, liver, stroke, myocardial infarctions, myocardial infarctions, ovaries), degenerative processes (atherosclerosis, diabetes, hematology disorders, musculoskeletal degeneration, osteoradionecrosis, respiratory disease), infectious diseases (COVID-19, hepatitis), regenerative procedures (antiaging, bone regeneration, cartilage/joint regeneration, osteoarthritis, cutaneous wounds, dental regeneration, dermatology/skin regeneration, erectile dysfunction, hair regrowth, intervertebral disc repair, spinal cord injury, vascular regeneration), and cancer therapy (breast, colorectal, gastric cancer and osteosarcomas), immune function (allergy, autoimmune disorders, immune regulation, inflammatory diseases, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis). This scoping review is a first of its kind aimed at summarizing the extensive regenerative potential of exosomes over a broad range of diseases and disorders.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The key complication of myocardial infarction therapy is myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI), and there is no effective treatment. The present study elucidates the mechanism of action of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 in alleviating MI/RI and provides new perspectives and therapeutic targets for cardiac injury-related diseases. METHODS An ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury model of human adult cardiac myocytes (HACMs) was constructed, and the expression of KCNQ1OT1 and miR-377-3p was determined by RT‒qPCR. The levels of related proteins were detected by western blot analysis. Cell proliferation was detected by a CCK-8 assay, and cell apoptosis and ROS content were determined by flow cytometry. SOD and MDA expression as well as Fe2+ changes were detected by related analysis kits. The target binding relationships between lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and miR-377-3p as well as between miR-377-3p and heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) were verified by a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. RESULTS Myocardial ischemia‒reperfusion caused oxidative stress in HACMs, resulting in elevated ROS levels, increased Fe2+ levels, decreased cell viability, and increased LDH release (a marker of myocardial injury), and apoptosis. KCNQ1OT1 and HMOX1 were upregulated in I/R-induced myocardial injury, but the level of miR-377-3p was decreased. A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay indicated that lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 targets miR-377-3p and that miR-377-3p targets HMOX1. Inhibition of HMOX1 alleviated miR-377-3p downregulation-induced myocardial injury. Furthermore, lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 promoted the level of HMOX1 by binding to miR-377-3p and aggravated myocardial injury. CONCLUSION LncRNA KCNQ1OT1 aggravates ischemia‒reperfusion-induced cardiac injury via miR-377-3P/HMOX1.

Abstract
Background Organ ischemia-reperfusion (IR) is a common clinical condition associated with various situations such as trauma surgery, organ transplantation, and myocardial ischemia. Current therapeutic methods for IR injury have limitations, and nanotechnology, particularly zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), offers new approaches for disease diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we investigated the protective and anti-apoptotic effects of ZnO NPs in liver ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in rats. Methods Forty-eight male rats were divided into six groups: sham, ZnO5, ZnO10, ischemia-reperfusion (IR), IR+ZnO5, and IR+ZnO10. The protective effect of ZnO NPs was evaluated by liver enzymes (AST, ALT, Bilirubin, ALP), biochemical (TAC, TNF-α, and MDA), molecular examinations (Bcl2, BAX), and histopathological evaluations (H&E, TUNEL). Results Pre-treatment with ZnO5 and ZnO10 improved hepatic function in IR liver injury, attenuated the levels of oxidants (P = 0.03) and inflammatory mediators, and reduced apoptosis (P = 0). ZnO10 was found to have a greater effect on ischemic reperfusion injury than ZnO5 did. Histopathological examination also showed a dose-dependent decrease in alterations in the IR+ZnO5 and IR+ZnO10 groups. Conclusion Administration of ZnO5 and ZnO10 improved liver function after IR. The findings of this study suggest that ZnO NPs have a protective effect against oxidative stress and apoptosis in liver ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. These results may have important implications for developing advanced methods in ischemia-reperfusion treatment.

Preclinical Evidence for the Effectiveness of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells for Diabetic Cardiomyopathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Curr Stem Cell Res Ther 2024; 19:220-233. [PMID: 37165495 DOI: 10.2174/1574888x18666230510111302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a complication of diabetes mellitus that endangers human health. DCM results in cardiac dysfunction, which eventually progresses to heart failure. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), a type of multipotent stem cell, have shown promising therapeutic effects in various cardiovascular diseases and diabetic complications in preclinical studies due to their immunomodulatory and regenerative abilities. However, there is still a lack of evidence to summarize the effectiveness of MSCs in the treatment of DCM. Therefore, a meta-analysis and systematic review are warranted to evaluate the therapeutic potential of MSCs for DCM in preclinical studies. METHODS A comprehensive literature search in English or Chinese was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, web of Science, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Internet from inception to June 30, 2022. The summarized outcomes included echocardiography, morphology, and pathology. Data were independently extracted and analyzed by two authors. The software we adopted was Review Manager5.4.1. This systematic review was written in compliance with PRISMA 2020 and the review protocol was registered on PROSPERO, registration no. CRD42022350032. RESULTS We included 20 studies in our meta-analysis to examine the efficacy of MSCs in the treatment of DCM. The MSC-treated group showed a statistically significant effect on left ventricular ejection fraction (WMD=12.61, 95% CI 4.32 to 20.90, P=0.003) and short axis fractional shortening (WMD=6.84, 95% CI 4.09 to 9.59, P < 0.00001). The overall effects on the ratio of early to late diastolic mitral annular velocity, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, maximum positive pressure development, maximum negative pressure development, left ventricular relaxation time constant, heart weight to body weight ratio, fibrosis area, and arteriole density were analyzed, suggesting that MSCs represent an effective therapy for the treatment of DCM. CONCLUSION Our results suggest a therapeutic role for MSCs in the treatment of DCM, and these results provide support for the use of MSCs in clinical trials of patients with DCM.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a condition in which tissue injury is aggravated after ischemia due to recovery of blood supply. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome (BMSC-exo) showed a protective effect on I/R injury. This study aimed to investigate the possible mechanisms by which BMSC-exos ameliorate intestinal I/R injury. We isolated mouse BMSC-exos by super-centrifugation and found that they effectively increased cell viability in a cell model, alleviated intestinal barrier injury in a mouse model, and downregulated the expression of inflammatory cytokines and pyroptosis-related proteins, suggesting that BMSC-exos may alleviate intestinal I/R injury in vitro and in vivo by regulating pyroptosis. We identified miR-143-3p as a differentially expressed miRNA by microarray sequencing. Bioinformatic analysis predicted a binding site between miR-143-3p and myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88); a dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-143-3p could directly regulate the expression of MyD88. Our findings suggest that miR-143-3p regulates pyroptosis by regulating NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) through the toll-like receptor (TLR)-4/MyD88/nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-кB) pathway. This study describes a potential strategy for the treatment of intestinal I/R injury using BMSC-exos that act by regulating pyroptosis through the miR-143-3p mediated TLR4/MyD88/NF-кB pathway.

J Histotechnol 2023; 46:158-169. [PMID: 37226801 DOI: 10.1080/01478885.2023.2215151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BSMC)-derived extracellular vehicles (EVs) have a pivotal therapeutic potential in hepatic fibrosis (HF). Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is the key mechanism in HF progression. Downregulation of miR-192-5p was previously observed in activated HSCs. Nonetheless, the functions of BSMC-derived exosomal miR-192-5p in activated HSCs remain unclear. In this study, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 was used to activate HSC-T6 cells to mimic HF in vitro. Characterization of BMSCs and BMSC-derived EVs was performed. Cell-counting kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, and western blotting revealed that TGF-β1 increased cell viability, promoted cell cycle progression, and induced upregulation of fibrosis markers in HSC-T6 cells. Overexpression of miR-192-5p or BMSC-derived exosomal miR-192-5p suppressed TGF-β1-triggered HSC-T6 cell activation. RT-qPCR revealed that protein phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit B'' alpha (PPP2R3A) was downregulated in miR-192-5p-overexpressed HSC-T6 cells. Luciferase reporter assay was used for verifying the relation between miR-192-5p and PPP2R3A, which showed that miR-192-5p targeted PPP2R3A in activated HSC-T6 cells. Collectively, BMSC-derived exosomal miR-192-5p targets PPP2R3A and inhibits activation of HSC-T6 cells.

Abstract
The morbidity and mortality of myocardial infarction (MI) are increasing worldwide. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells with self-renewal and differentiation capabilities that are essential in tissue healing and regenerative medicine. However, the low implantation and survival rates of transplanted cells hinder the widespread clinical use of stem cells. Exosomes are naturally occurring nanovesicles that are secreted by cells and promote the repair of cardiac function by transporting noncoding RNA and protein. In recent years, MSC-derived exosomes have been promising cell-free treatment tools for improving cardiac function and reversing cardiac remodeling. This review describes the biological properties and therapeutic potential of exosomes and summarizes some engineering approaches for exosomes optimization to enhance the targeting and therapeutic efficacy of exosomes in MI.

Abstract
Exosomes are nanosized vesicles that carry biologically diverse molecules for intercellular communication. Researchers have been trying to engineer exosomes for therapeutic purposes by using different approaches to deliver biologically active molecules to the various target cells efficiently. Recent technological advances may allow the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of exosomes to be modified to meet scientific needs with respect to specific diseases. However, it is essential to determine an exosome's optimal dosage and potential side effects before its clinical use. Significant breakthroughs have been made in recent decades concerning exosome labelling and imaging techniques. These tools provide in situ monitoring of exosome biodistribution and pharmacokinetics and pinpoint targetability. However, because exosomes are nanometres in size and vary significantly in contents, a deeper understanding is required to ensure accurate monitoring before they can be applied in clinical settings. Different research groups have established different approaches to elucidate the roles of exosomes and visualize their spatial properties. This review covers current and emerging strategies for in vivo and in vitro exosome imaging and tracking for potential studies.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, microvesicles and apoptotic bodies, have recently received attention as essential mechanisms for cell-to-cell communication in cardiovascular disease. EVs can be released from different types of cells, including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, cardiac cells, fibroblasts, platelets, adipocytes, immune cells and stem cells. Non-coding (nc)RNAs as EV cargos have recently been investigated in the cardiovascular system. Up- or downregulated ncRNAs in EVs have been shown to play a crucial role in various cardiovascular diseases. Communication via EV-derived ncRNAs can occur between cells of the same type and between different types of cells involved in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. In the present review, we highlight the important aspects of diverse cell-derived EVs and their ncRNA cargos as disease mediators and potential therapeutic targets in atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, ischaemic heart disease and cardiac fibrosis. In addition, we summarize the potential of EV-derived ncRNAs in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Finally, we discuss the different methods for EV isolation and characterization. A better understanding of the specific role of EVs and their ncRNA cargos in the regulation of cardiovascular (dys)function will be of importance for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic tools for cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an inflammatory disease caused by autoantibodies, with high morbidity and mortality. It involves multiple systems, particularly the renal, which can lead to lupus nephritis (LN); its multi-system effects have a significant impact on the physical and mental health of patients. Exosomes are vesicles that are secreted during cell activity and carry a variety of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. They are distributed through body fluids for cellular communication. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are nucleic acids that are packaged within the exosome that are taken up and released in response to changes in plasma membrane structure. MiRNAs are potential participants in immune and inflammatory responses, which are transported to target cells and can inhibit gene expression in receptor cells. It has been suggested that exosomal miRNA can regulate the pathogenesis of SLE and, as such, they are of value in diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we focus on the research progress into exosomal miRNA in SLE and inspire new directions for SLE related research.

Abstract
Vascular calcification (VC) is highly correlated with cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality, but anti-VC treatment remains an area to be tackled due to the ill-defined molecular mechanisms. Regardless of the type of VC, it does not depend on a single cell but involves multi-cells/organs to form a complex cellular communication network through the vascular microenvironment to participate in the occurrence and development of VC. Therefore, focusing only on the direct effect of pathological factors on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) tends to overlook the combined effect of other cells and VSMCs, including VSMCs-VSMCs, ECs-VMSCs, Macrophages-VSMCs, etc. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a collective term for tiny vesicles with a membrane structure that are actively secreted by cells, and almost all cells secrete EVs. EVs docked on the surface of receptor cells can directly mediate signal transduction or transfer their contents into the cell to elicit a functional response from the receptor cells. They have been proven to participate in the VC process and have also shown attractive therapeutic prospects. Based on the advantages of EVs and the ability to be detected in body fluids, they may become a novel therapeutic agent, drug delivery vehicle, diagnostic and prognostic biomarker, and potential therapeutic target in the future. This review focuses on the new insight into VC molecular mechanisms from the perspective of crosstalk, summarizes how multi-cells/organs interactions communicate via EVs to regulate VC and the emerging potential of EVs as therapeutic methods in VC. We also summarize preclinical experiments on crosstalk-based and the current state of clinical studies on VC-related measures.

J Cardiovasc Transl Res 2023; 16:1085-1098.

Abstract
Ischemic cardiomyopathy is treated mainly with thrombolytic drugs, percutaneous coronary intervention, and coronary artery bypass grafting to recanalize blocked vessels. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is an unavoidable complication of obstructive revascularization. Compared with those of myocardial ischemic injury, few effective therapeutic options are available for MIRI treatment. The pathophysiological mechanisms of MIRI involve the inflammatory response, the immune response, oxidative stress, apoptosis, intracellular Ca2+ overload, and cardiomyocyte energy metabolism. These mechanisms exacerbate MIRI. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-EXOs) can alleviate MIRI through these mechanisms and, to some extent, prevent the limitations caused by direct MSC administration. Therefore, using MSC-EXOs instead of MSCs to treat MIRI is a potentially beneficial cell-free treatment strategy. In this review, we describe the mechanism of action of MSC-EXO-derived noncoding RNAs in the treatment of MIRI and discuss the advantages and limitations of this strategy, as well as possible future research directions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-derived exosomes (BMSC-EXO) on atherosclerosis (AS), and its related underlying mechanisms. METHODS Exosomes were isolated from mouse BMSCs, and identified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Nanosight (NTA), and western blot. A mouse AS model was established, and exosomes were injected into the tail vein. Total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) were detected using their corresponding assay kits. The contents of IL-1β and IL-18 in serum were detected by ELISA. The mRNA and protein expression levels of GSDMD, Caspase1, and NLRP3 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Finally, aortic tissues in the Model and BMSC-EXO groups were sent for sequencing. RESULTS TEM, NTA, and western blot indicated successful isolation of exosomes. Compared with the control group, the TC, TG contents, IL-1β and IL-18 concentrations of the mice in the Model group were significantly increased; nonetheless, were significantly lower after injected with BMSC-EXO than those in the Model group (p < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the expressions of NLRP3, caspase-1 and GSDMD were significantly up-regulated in the Model group (p < 0.05), while the expressions of NLRP3, caspase-1, and GSDMD were significantly down-regulated by BMSC-EXO. By sequencing, a total of 3852 DEGs were identified between the Model and BMSC-EXO group and were significantly enriched in various biological processes and pathways related to mitochondrial function, metabolism, inflammation, and immune response. CONCLUSION AS can induce pyroptosis, and BMSC-EXO can reduce inflammation and alleviate the progression of AS by inhibiting NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD in the pyroptosis pathway.

Abstract
This study aims to discuss the role of exosomes KCNQ10T1 derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) in sepsis and to further investigate its potential molecular mechanisms. Exosomes extracted from BMMSCs are identified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and western blot. Fluorescence labeling is applied to detect the internalization of exosomes in receptors. The proliferation ability, migration ability, and invasion ability of HUVECs are determined by CCK-8, EdU, wound healing, and Transwell. The levels of inflammatory cytokines in sepsis cells are quantitatively detected by ELISA. Kaplan-Meier survival curve is used to describe the overall survival. RT-qPCR is used to detect mRNA expression of related genes. Bioinformatics analysis is performed to search the downstream target of KCNQ1OT1 and miR-154-3p and the interaction is verified by luciferase reporter assay. Exosomes derived from BMMSCs alleviated the toxicity in sepsis cell models and animal models. In mice with septic cell models, exosomal KCNQ10T1 was down-regulated and associated with lower survival. Overexpression of KCNQ10T1 inhibited the proliferation and metastasis of LPS-induced HUVECs. Further research illustrated that miR-154-3p was the downstream target gene of KCNQ1OT1 and RNF19A was the downstream target gene of miR-154-3p. Importantly, functional research findings indicated that KCNQ1OT1 regulated sepsis progression by targeting miR-154-3p/RNF19A axis. Our study demonstrates that the exosomal KCNQ1OT1 suppresses sepsis via mediating miR-154-3p/RNF19A, which provides a latent target for sepsis treatment.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a serious complication affecting the prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction and can cause cardiac arrest, reperfusion arrhythmias, no-reflow, and irreversible myocardial cell death. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent, peroxide-driven, non-apoptotic form of regulated cell death, plays a vital role in reperfusion injury. Acetylation, an important post-translational modification, participates in many cellular signaling pathways and diseases, and plays a pivotal role in ferroptosis. Elucidating the role of acetylation in ferroptosis may therefore provide new insights for the treatment of MIRI. Here, we summarized the recently discovered knowledge about acetylation and ferroptosis in MIRI. Finally, we focused on the acetylation modification during ferroptosis and its potential relationship with MIRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest (CA), characterized by sudden onset and high mortality rates, is one of the leading causes of death globally, with a survival rate of approximately 6-24%. Studies suggest that the restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) hardly improved the mortality rate and prognosis of patients diagnosed with CA, largely due to ischemia-reperfusion injury. MAIN BODY Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit self-renewal and strong potential for multilineage differentiation. Their effects are largely mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs). Exosomes are the most extensively studied subgroup of EVs. EVs mainly mediate intercellular communication by transferring vesicular proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and other substances to regulate multiple processes, such as cytokine production, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metabolism. Thus, exosomes exhibit significant potential for therapeutic application in wound repair, tissue reconstruction, inflammatory reaction, and ischemic diseases. CONCLUSION Based on similar pathological mechanisms underlying post-cardiac arrest syndrome involving various tissues and organs in many diseases, the review summarizes the therapeutic effects of MSC-derived exosomes and explores the prospects for their application in the treatment of CA.

Abstract
Bone mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome (BMSC-exosome) is a potential candidate for lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) treatment. This study aims to investigate the anti-pyroptosis effect of BMSC-exosomes in LIRI. The LIRI cell model was established by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) treatment. Interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 levels were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cell viability was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release was examined using a LDH assay kit. The interaction between microRNA (miR)-202-5p and cytidine monophosphate kinase 2 (CMPK2) was analyzed using dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation. BMSC-exosomes promoted cell viability and suppressed pyroptosis in H/R-treated mouse lung epithelial. miR-202-5p was enriched in BMSC-exosomes, and exosomal miR-202-5p inhibition upregulated pyroptosis-associated proteins, including cleaved N-terminal Gasdermin D, nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor family member pyrin domain-containing protein 3, and Caspase1. Meanwhile, miR-202-5p suppressed CMPK2 expression by directly targeting CMPK2. Expectedly, CMPK2 knockdown reversed the promoting effect of exosomal miR-202-5p inhibition on pyroptosis in LIRI. Therefore, BMSC-derived exosome miR-202-5p repressed pyroptosis to inhibit LIRI progression by targeting CMPK2.

Abstract
Background Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) refers to the more severe damage that occurs in the previously ischemic myocardium after a short-term interruption of myocardial blood supply followed by restoration of blood flow within a certain period of time. MIRI has become a major challenge affecting the therapeutic efficacy of cardiovascular surgery. Methods A scientific literature search on MIRI-related papers published from 2000 to 2023 in the Web of Science Core Collection database was conducted. VOSviewer was used for bibliometric analysis to understand the scientific development and research hotspots in this field. Results A total of 5,595 papers from 81 countries/regions, 3,840 research institutions, and 26,202 authors were included. China published the most papers, but the United States had the most significant influence. Harvard University was the leading research institution, and influential authors included Lefer David J., Hausenloy Derek J., Yellon Derek M., and others. All keywords can be divided into four different directions: risk factors, poor prognosis, mechanisms and cardioprotection. Conclusion Research on MIRI is flourishing. It is necessary to conduct an in-depth investigation of the interaction between different mechanisms and multi-target therapy will be the focus and hotspot of MIRI research in the future.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are a nicotinic adenine dinucleotide (+) -dependent histone deacetylase that regulates critical signaling pathways in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Studies have identified seven mammalian homologs of the yeast SIRT silencing message regulator 2, namely, SIRT1-SIRT7. Recent in vivo and in vitro studies have successfully demonstrated the involvement of SIRTs in key pathways for cell biological function in physiological and pathological processes of the cardiovascular system, including processes including cellular senescence, oxidative stress, apoptosis, DNA damage, and cellular metabolism. Emerging evidence has stimulated a significant evolution in preventing and treating cardiovascular disease (CVD). Here, we review the important roles of SIRTs for the regulatory pathways involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and their molecular targets, including novel protein post-translational modifications of succinylation. In addition, we summarize the agonists and inhibitors currently identified to target novel specific small molecules of SIRTs. A better understanding of the role of SIRTs in the biology of CVD opens new avenues for therapeutic intervention with great potential for preventing and treating CVD.

Abstract
Small extracellular vesicles (SEVs) secreted by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are considered one of the most promising biological therapies in recent years. The protective effect of MSCs-derived SEVs on myocardium is mainly related to their ability to deliver cargo, anti-inflammatory properties, promotion of angiogenesis, immunoregulation, and other factors. Herein, this review focuses on the biological properties, isolation methods, and functions of SEVs. Then, the roles and potential mechanisms of SEVs and engineered SEVs in myocardial protection are summarized. Finally, the current situation of clinical research on SEVs, the difficulties encountered, and the future fore-ground of SEVs are discussed. In conclusion, although there are some technical difficulties and conceptual contradictions in the research of SEVs, the unique biological functions of SEVs provide a new direction for the development of regenerative medicine. Further exploration is warranted to establish a solid experimental and theoretical basis for future clinical application of SEVs.

Abstract
Gliomas make up virtually 80% of all lethal primary brain tumors and are categorized based on their cell of origin. Glioblastoma is an astrocytic tumor that has an inferior prognosis despite the ongoing advances in treatment modalities. One of the main reasons for this shortcoming is the presence of the blood-brain barrier and blood-brain tumor barrier. Novel invasive and non-invasive drug delivery strategies for glioblastoma have been developed to overcome both the intact blood-brain barrier and leverage the disrupted nature of the blood-brain tumor barrier to target cancer cells after resection-the first treatment stage of glioblastoma. Exosomes are among non-invasive drug delivery methods and have emerged as a natural drug delivery vehicle with high biological barrier penetrability. There are various exosome isolation methods from different origins, and the intended use of the exosomes and starting materials defines the choice of isolation technique. In the present review, we have given an overview of the structure of the blood-brain barrier and its disruption in glioblastoma. This review provided a comprehensive insight into novel passive and active drug delivery techniques to overcome the blood-brain barrier, emphasizing exosomes as an excellent emerging drug, gene, and effective molecule delivery vehicle used in glioblastoma therapy.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) exert protective effects against pulmonary ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury; however, the potential mechanism involved in their protective ability remains unclear. Thus, this study aimed to explore the function and underlying mechanism of BMSC-derived exosomal lncRNA-ZFAS1 in pulmonary I/R injury. Pulmonary I/R injury models were established in mice and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-exposed primary mouse lung microvascular endothelial cells (LMECs). Exosomes were extracted from BMSCs. Target molecule expression was assessed by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Pathological changes in the lungs, pulmonary edema, apoptosis, pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, SOD, MPO activities, and MDA level were measured. The proliferation, apoptosis, and migration of LMECs were detected by CCK-8, EdU staining, flow cytometry, and scratch assay. Dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down, RIP, and ChIP assays were performed to validate the molecular interaction. In the mouse model of pulmonary I/R injury, BMSC-Exos treatment relieved lung pathological injury, reduced lung W/D weight ratio, and restrained apoptosis and inflammation, whereas exosomal ZFAS1 silencing abolished these beneficial effects. In addition, the proliferation, migration inhibition, apoptosis, and inflammation in H/R-exposed LMECs were repressed by BMSC-derived exosomal ZFAS1. Mechanistically, ZFAS1 contributed to FOXD1 mRNA decay via interaction with UPF1, thereby leading to Gal-3 inactivation. Furthermore, FOXD1 depletion strengthened the weakened protective effect of ZFAS1-silenced BMSC-Exos on pulmonary I/R injury. ZFAS1 delivered by BMSC-Exos results in FOXD1 mRNA decay and subsequent Gal-3 inactivation via direct interaction with UPF1, thereby attenuating pulmonary I/R injury.

Abstract
Exosomes are small membrane vesicles secreted by most cell types, and widely exist in cell supernatants and various body fluids. They can transmit numerous bioactive elements, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, to affect the gene expression and function of recipient cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been confirmed to be a potentially promising therapy for tissue repair and regeneration. Accumulating studies demonstrated that the predominant regenerative paradigm of MSCs transplantation was the paracrine effect but not the differentiation effect. Exosomes secreted by MSCs also showed similar therapeutic effects as their parent cells and were considered to be used for cell-free regenerative medicine. However, the inefficient and limited production has hampered their development for clinical translation. In this review, we summarize potential methods to efficiently promote the yield of exosomes. We mainly focus on engineering the process of exosome biogenesis and secretion, altering the cell culture conditions, cell expansion through 3D dynamic culture and the isolation of exosomes. In addition, we also discuss the application of MSCs-derived exosomes as therapeutics in disease treatment.

Abstract
Exosomes are biological small spherical lipid bilayer vesicles secreted by most cells in the body. Their contents include nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. Exosomes can transfer material molecules between cells and consequently have a variety of biological functions, participating in disease development while exhibiting potential value as biomarkers and therapeutics. Growing evidence suggests that exosomes are vital mediators of vascular remodeling. Endothelial cells (ECs), vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), inflammatory cells, and adventitial fibroblasts (AFs) can communicate through exosomes; such communication is associated with inflammatory responses, cell migration and proliferation, and cell metabolism, leading to changes in vascular function and structure. Essential hypertension (EH), atherosclerosis (AS), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are the most common vascular diseases and are associated with significant vascular remodeling. This paper reviews the latest research progress on the involvement of exosomes in vascular remodeling through intercellular information exchange and provides new ideas for understanding related diseases.

Abstract
Intercellular communication, through direct and indirect cell contact, is mandatory in multicellular organisms. These last years, the microenvironment, and in particular, transfer by extracellular vesicles (EVs), has emerged as a new communication mechanism. Different biological fluids and cell types are common sources of EVs. EVs play different roles, acting as signalosomes, biomarkers, and therapeutic agents. As therapeutic agents, MSC-derived EVs display numerous advantages: they are biocompatible, non-immunogenic, and stable in circulation, and they are able to cross biological barriers. Furthermore, EVs have a great potential for drug delivery. Different EV isolation protocols and loading methods have been tested and compared. Published and ongoing clinical trials, and numerous preclinical studies indicate that EVs are safe and well tolerated. Moreover, the latest studies suggest their applications as nanocarriers. The current review will describe the potential for MSC-derived EVs as drug delivery systems (DDS) in disease treatment, and their advantages. Thereafter, we will outline the different EV isolation methods and loading techniques, and analyze relevant preclinical studies. Finally, we will describe ongoing and published clinical studies. These elements will outline the benefits of MSC-derived EV DDS over several aspects.

Abstract
This study assesses the effects of TLR4 gene modified BMSCs transplantation on the expression of bFGF and FSTL1 in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion rats. 30 male SD rats were assigned into control group (myocardial ischemia model), BMSCs group (model + BMSCs transplantation) and transfection
group (model + TLR4 gene modified BMSCs transplantation) followed by analysis of TLR4 expression, EGFP, apoptosis and expression of bFGF and FSTL1. Compared with control group (TLR4 concentration 2.86 pg/5×105 cells/mL). The expression of TLR4 in BMSCs group (25.24 pg/5×105
cells/mL) and transfection group (31.55 pg/5×105 cells/mL) was significantly increased (P <0.05), and it was more significant in transfection group. The myocardial tissue of rats in control group produced a large number of scars, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of myocardial
cells accompanied by a large number of necrosis; The scar tissue of the myocardium in BMSCs group and transfection group decreased, and viable myocardium increased, with more significant effect in transfection group. Control group showed a large number of blue collagen fibers in the infarction
area of left ventricle, which were in the shape of cords, and part of the collagen fibers were fused. The blue collagen fibers in the control group and the transfection group were significantly reduced. Compared with control group, BMSCs group had lower apoptosis, and increased bFGF and FSTL1
levels (P <0.05). Compared with BMSCs group, the apoptosis rate of myocardial cells was decreased, and the levels of bFGF and FSTL1 were increased (P < 0.05). In conclusion, transplantation of BMSCs modified with TLR4 can increase bFGF and FSTL1 levels, reduce the rate
of myocardial apoptosis and improve the myocardial pathological tissue, thus playing a therapeutic role.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) exosomal miR-345-3p and tumor necrosis factor receptorassociated factor 6 (TRAF6) on cerebral ischemia reperfusion (CIR) injury. Exosomes (Exos) derived from BMSCs were isolated and identified. PC12 (rat pheochromocytoma) cells were used to establish an oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model. METHODS Cell counting kit-8, TUNEL staining, lactate dehydrogenase staining, RT-qPCR, and western blotting were utilized for analyzing the functions of miR-345-3p about PC12 cells. Dualluciferase reporter experiment was then to confirm the link between miR-345-3p and TRAF6. Finally, using male SD rats, the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was constructed. Regulation of I/R damage in MCAO rats of miR-345-3p and TRAF6 were further explored in the changes of modified neurological severity score, cerebral infarction pictures, relative infarct volume, and histopathological changes. After OGD/R treatment, neuronal apoptosis was dramatically increased. After treatment with exosomal miR-345-3p, OGD/R-induced neuroapoptosis was dramatically inhibited. Exosomal miR-345-3p inhibited OGD/R-induced neuroapoptosis by downregulating the expression of TRAF6. However, the miR-345-3p inhibitor aggravated the changes caused by OGD/R. RESULTS The corresponding regulations of miR-345-3p were reversed with TRAF6 overexpression. The animal experiments in vivo further verified that miR-345-3p ameliorated brain I/R injury in MCAO rats by targeting TRAF6. CONCLUSION This study found that BMSCs-exosomal miR-345-3p protected against CIR injury by decreasing TRAF6.

The Therapeutic Potential and Clinical Significance of Exosomes as Carriers of Drug Delivery System. Pharmaceutics 2022; 15:pharmaceutics15010021.

Abstract
Drug delivery system (DDS) realizes the drug delivery process through the drug carrier. As an important part of DDS, the selection of the drug carrier material is extremely critical, which requires the carrier material to possess excellent biocompatibility and targeting and not affect the pharmacological action of the drug. As one of the endogenous extracellular vesicles, exosomes are 30-100 nm in diameter, which are considered a new generation of a natural nanoscale delivery system. Exosomes secreted by different types of cells carry signaling molecules (such as proteins and nucleic acid) playing an important role in cell behaviors. Owing to their ability to specialize in intercellular communication, exosomes provide a distinctive method to deliver therapeutic drugs to target cells. In this concept, exosomes as the natural liposomes carry endogenous biomolecules, have excellent biocompatibility, and could be loaded with cargo both in vivo and in vitro. In addition, modifications by genetic and/or chemical engineering to part of the exosome surface or complement the desired natural effect may enhance the targeting with drug loading capability. Notably, exosomes weakly react with serum proteins prolonging cargo half-life. Overall, exosomes as natural carriers integrate the superiority of synthetic nanocarriers and cellular communication while precluding their limitations, which provides novel and reliable methods for drug delivery and treatment. Our review focuses on the therapeutic potentials and clinical values of exosomes as a carrier of drug delivery system in multiple diseases, including cancer, nervous, immune, and skeletal system diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) by causing histopathological changes is considered one of the most important causes of liver failure and dysfunction after surgery which affect graft outcomes. Stem cells are new promising approaches to treating different diseases. One of the critical strategies to improve their function is the preconditioning of their culture medium. This study compared the effect of NaHS-modified and non-modified mesenchymal stem cell exosomes on liver ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. METHODS Human umbilical cord-derived MSC (MSC) cultured in a 75 cm3 flask and when confluency reached about 80%, the culture medium replaced with a serum-free medium, and 48 h later supernatants collected, concentrated, and then MSC-Exo extracted. To obtain H2S-Exo, MSC was treated with NaHS (1 μmol),the supernatant collected after 48 h, concentrated and exosomes extracted. Twenty-four male mice were randomly divided into four groups (n = 6) including: 1-ischemia, 2-sham-operated, 3- MSC-Exo, and 4- H2S-Exo. To induce ischemia, the hepatic artery and portal vein clamped using an atraumatic clip for 60 min followed by 3 h of reperfusion. Just upon ending the time of ischemia (removal of clamp artery), animals in MSC-Exo, and H2S-Exo groups received 100 μg exosomes in 100 μl PBS via tail vein. At the end of reperfusion, blood, and liver samples were collected for further serological, molecular, and histological analyses. RESULTS Administration of both MSC-Exo and H2S-Exo improved liver function by reducing inflammatory cytokines, cellular apoptosis, liver levels of total oxidant status, and liver aminotransferases. The results showed that protecting effect of MSC exosomes enhanced following NaHS preconditioning of cell culture medium. CONCLUSION MSC-Exo and H2S-Exo had hepato-protective effects against injuries induced by ischemia-reperfusion in mice. NaHS preconditioning of mesenchymal stem cells could enhance the therapeutic effects of MSC-derived exosomes.

Abstract
Background Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury can occur in the heart, brain, liver, lung, kidney, and other important organs, and may greatly increase disease mortality. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have a variety of functions, including regulating cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. In the past 10 years, many studies on miRNAs in IR have been conducted. This study involved a visual analysis of these studies, and a discussion of research hotspots, trends, and frontiers of this topic. Methods A total of 1,518 articles published between 2012 and 2022 on the topic of miRNA and IR and listed in the Web of Science database were analyzed visually using CiteSpace. Cooperative networks, literature citations, and keyword co-occurrence were analyzed. Results Of the 1,518 articles, most were published after 2018, and a rapid growth in numbers of publications was seen after 2019. Articles from China numbered the highest, followed by the United States and Canada. It has been found that many miRNAs are involved in the occurrence of IR, with various regulatory mechanisms and signaling pathways. The literature clustering generated by literature co-citation analysis and the keyword co-occurrence network showed that the previous miRNA research on IR had mainly focused on the following topics: myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, acute kidney injury, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response. More attention has been paid to long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and exosomes, with much exploration having been conducted in these areas. Conclusions Although miRNA is involved in the occurrence and development of IR, as a clinical intervention target for IR, further research is still needed.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of deaths globally. The early diagnosis of MI lowers the rate of subsequent complications and maximizes the benefits of cardiovascular interventions. Many efforts have been made to explore new therapeutic targets for MI, and the therapeutic potential of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) is one good example. NcRNAs are a group of RNAs with many different subgroups, but they are not translated into proteins. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are the most studied type of ncRNAs, and have been found to regulate several pathological processes in MI, including cardiomyocyte inflammation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and fibrosis. These processes can also be modulated by circular RNAs and long ncRNAs via different mechanisms. However, the regulatory role of ncRNAs and their underlying mechanisms in MI are underexplored. Exosomes play a crucial role in communication between cells, and can affect both homeostasis and disease conditions. Exosomal ncRNAs have been shown to affect many biological functions. Tissue-specific changes in exosomal ncRNAs contribute to aging, tissue dysfunction, and human diseases. Here we provide a comprehensive review of recent findings on epigenetic changes in cardiovascular diseases as well as the role of ncRNAs and exosomal ncRNAs in MI, focusing on their function, diagnostic and prognostic significance.

Exosomes Derived from BMSCs Ameliorate Intestinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Regulating miR-144-3p-Mediated Oxidative Stress. Dig Dis Sci 2022; 67:5090-5106. [PMID: 35624329 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-022-07546-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a critical pathophysiological process involved in many acute and critical diseases, and it may seriously threaten the lives of patients. Exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC-exos) may be an effective therapeutic approach for I/R injury. AIMS This study aimed to investigate the role and possible mechanism of BMSC-exos in intestinal I/R injury in vivo and in vitro based on the miR-144-3p and PTEN/Akt/Nrf2 pathways. METHODS BMSC-exos were isolated from mouse BMSCs by super centrifugation methods. The effects of BMSC-exos on I/R intestinal injury, intestinal cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and the PTEN/Akt/Nrf2 pathway were explored in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, the relationship between miR-144-3p and PTEN was confirmed by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. The miR-144-3p mimic and inhibitor were used to further clarify the role of miR-144-3p in the mitigation of intestinal I/R by BMSC-exos. RESULTS BMSC-exos effectively alleviated intestinal pathological injury, reduced intestinal cell apoptosis, relieved oxidative stress and regulated the PTEN/Akt/Nrf2 pathway in vivo and in vitro. In addition, miR-144-3p was significantly reduced in the oxygen and glucose deprivation/reperfusion cell model, and miR-144-3p could directly target PTEN to regulate its expression. Additional studies showed that changing the expression of miR-144-3p in BMSC-exos significantly affected the regulation of intestinal injury, intestinal cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and the PTEN/Akt/Nrf2 pathway in I/R, suggesting that miR-144-3p in BMSC-exos plays an important role in regulating the PTEN/Akt/Nrf2 during intestinal I/R. CONCLUSIONS BMSC-exos carrying miR-144-3p alleviated intestinal I/R injury by regulating oxidative stress.
