Abstract
Cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a promising non-invasive liquid biopsy technique due to their accessibility and their ability to encapsulate and transport diverse biomolecules. EVs have garnered substantial research interest, notably in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), where their roles in pathophysiology and as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers are increasingly recognized. This review provides a comprehensive overview of EVs, starting with their origins, followed by the techniques used for their isolation and characterization. We explore the diverse cargo of EVs, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites, highlighting their roles in intercellular communication and as potential biomarkers. We then delve into the application of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in the analysis of EVs, particularly within the context of CVDs. Finally, we discuss how integrated multi-omics approaches are unveiling novel biomarkers, offering fresh insights into the diagnosis and prognosis of CVDs. This review underscores the growing importance of EVs in clinical diagnostics and the potential of multi-omics to propel future advancements in CVD biomarker discovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of arrhythmia worldwide and is associated with serious complications. This study investigated the metabolic biomarkers associated with AF and the differences in metabolomics and associated metabolic biomarkers between paroxysmal AF (AFPA) and persistent AF. METHODS AND RESULTS Plasma samples were prospectively collected from patients with AF and patients in sinus rhythm with negative coronary angiography. The patients were divided into 3 groups: AFPA, persistent AF, and sinus rhythm (N=54). Metabolomics (n=36) using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry was used to detect differential metabolites that were validated in a new cohort (n=18). The validated metabolites from the validation phase were further analyzed by receiver operating characteristic. Among the 36 differential metabolites detected by omics assay, 4 were successfully validated with area under the curve >0.8 (P<0.05). Bioinformatics analysis confirmed the enrichment pathways of unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, and carbon metabolism. Arachidonic acid was a potential biomarker of AFPA, glycolic acid and L-serine were biomarkers of AFPA and persistent AF, and palmitelaidic acid was a biomarker of AFPA. CONCLUSIONS In this metabolomics study, we detected 36 differential metabolites in AF, and 4 were validated with high sensitivity and specificity. These differential metabolites are potential biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring of disease course. This study therefore provides new insights into the precision diagnosis and management of AF.

Abstract
Effective intercellular communication is essential for cellular and tissue balance maintenance and response to challenges. Cellular communication methods involve direct cell contact or the release of biological molecules to cover short and long distances. However, a recent discovery in this communication network is the involvement of extracellular vesicles that host biological contents such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, influencing neighboring cells. These extracellular vesicles are found in body fluids; thus, they are considered as potential disease biomarkers. Cardiovascular diseases are significant contributors to global morbidity and mortality, encompassing conditions such as ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, electrical heart diseases, and heart failure. Recent studies reveal the release of extracellular vesicles by cardiovascular cells, influencing normal cardiac function and structure. However, under pathological conditions, extracellular vesicles composition changes, contributing to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Investigating the loading of molecular cargo in these extracellular vesicles is essential for understanding their role in disease development. This review consolidates the latest insights into the role of extracellular vesicles in diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases, exploring the potential applications of extracellular vesicles in personalized therapies, shedding light on the evolving landscape of cardiovascular medicine.

Abstract
Long-term silica particle exposure leads to interstitial pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis, called silicosis. Silica-activated macrophages secrete a wide range of cytokines resulting in persistent inflammation. In addition, silica-stimulated activation of fibroblast is another checkpoint in the progression of silicosis. The pathogenesis after silica exposure is complex, involving intercellular communication and intracellular signaling pathway transduction, which was ignored previously. Exosomes are noteworthy because of their crucial role in intercellular communication by delivering bioactive substances, such as lncRNA. However, the expression profile of exosomal lncRNA in silicosis has not been reported yet. In this study, exosomes were isolated from the peripheral serum of silicosis patients or healthy donors. The exosomal lncRNAs were profiled using high-throughput sequencing technology. Target genes were predicted, and functional annotation was performed using differentially expressed lncRNAs. Eight aberrant expressed exosomal lncRNAs were considered to play a key role in the process of silicosis according to the OPLS-DA. Furthermore, the increased expression of lncRNA MSTRG.43085.16 was testified in vitro. Its target gene PARP1 was critical in regulating apoptosis based on bioinformatics analysis. In addition, the effects of exosomes on macrophage apoptosis and fibroblast activation were checked based on a co-cultured system. Our findings suggested that upregulation of lncRNA MSTRG.43085.16 could regulate silica-induced macrophage apoptosis through elevating PARP1 expression, and promote fibroblast activation, implying that the exosomal lncRNA MSTRG.43085.16 might have potential as a biomarker for the early diagnosis of silicosis.

LIPCAR levels in plasma-derived extracellular vesicles is associated with left ventricle remodeling post-myocardial infarction. J Transl Med 2024; 22:31. [PMID: 38184604 PMCID: PMC10771704 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-04820-1] [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: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Long Intergenic noncoding RNA predicting CARdiac remodeling (LIPCAR) is a long noncoding RNA identified in plasma of patients after myocardial infarction (MI) to be associated with left ventricle remodeling (LVR). LIPCAR was also shown to be a predictor of early death in heart failure (HF) patients. However, no information regarding the expression of LIPCAR and its function in heart as well as the mechanisms involved in its transport to the circulation is known. The aims of this study are (1) to characterize the transporter of LIPCAR from heart to circulation; (2) to determine whether LIPCAR levels in plasma isolated-extracellular vesicles (EVs) reflect the alteration of its expression in total plasma and could be used as biomarkers of LVR post-MI. METHODS Since expression of LIPCAR is restricted to human species and the limitation of availability of cardiac biopsy samples, serum-free conditioned culture media from HeLa cells were first used to characterize the extracellular transporter of LIPCAR before validation in EVs isolated from human cardiac biopsies (non-failing and ischemic HF patients) and plasma samples (patients who develop or not LVR post-MI). Differential centrifugation at 20,000g and 100,000g were performed to isolate the large (lEVs) and small EVs (sEVs), respectively. Western blot and nanoparticle tracking (NTA) analysis were used to characterize the isolated EVs. qRT-PCR analysis was used to quantify LIPCAR in all samples. RESULTS We showed that LIPCAR is present in both lEVs and sEVs isolated from all samples. The levels of LIPCAR are higher in lEVs compared to sEVs isolated from HeLa conditioned culture media and cardiac biopsies. No difference of LIPCAR expression was observed in tissue or EVs isolated from cardiac biopsies obtained from ischemic HF patients compared to non-failing patients. Interestingly, LIPCAR levels were increased in lEVs and sEVs isolated from MI patients who develop LVR compared to patients who did not develop LVR. CONCLUSION Our data showed that large EVs are the main extracellular vesicle transporter of LIPCAR from heart into the circulation independently of the status, non-failing or HF, in patients. The levels of LIPCAR in EVs isolated from plasma could be used as biomarkers of LVR in post-MI patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the leading cause of death worldwide for many years. In recent years, exosomes have gained extensive attention in the cardiovascular system due to their excellent biocompatibility. Studies have extensively researched miRNAs in exosomes and found that they play critical roles in various physiological and pathological processes in the cardiovascular system. These processes include promoting or inhibiting inflammatory responses, promoting angiogenesis, participating in cell proliferation and migration, and promoting pathological progression such as fibrosis. AIM OF REVIEW This systematic review examines the role of exosomes in various cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure and cardiomyopathy. It also presents the latest treatment and prevention methods utilizing exosomes. The study aims to provide new insights and approaches for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases by exploring the relationship between exosomes and these conditions. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the potential clinical use of exosomes as biomarkers for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles surrounded by lipid bilayers that are secreted by most cells in the body. They are heterogeneous, varying in size and composition, with a diameter typically ranging from 40 to 160 nm. Exosomes serve as a means of information communication between cells, carrying various biologically active substances, including lipids, proteins, and small RNAs such as miRNAs and lncRNAs. As a result, they participate in both physiological and pathological processes within the body.

Abstract
Ischemic heart diseases remain the leading cause of death globally, and stem cell-based therapy has been investigated as a potential approach for cardiac repair. Due to poor survival and engraftment in the cardiac ischemic milieu post transplantation, the predominant therapeutic effects of stem cells act via paracrine actions, by secreting extracellular vesicles (EVs) and/or other factors. Exosomes are nano-sized EVs of endosomal origin, and now viewed as a major contributor in facilitating myocardial repair and regeneration. However, EV/exosome therapy has major obstacles before entering clinical settings, such as limited production yield, unstable biological activity, poor homing efficiency, and low tissue retention. This review aims to provide an overview of the biogenesis and mechanisms of stem cell-derived EV/exosomes in the process of cardiac repair and discuss the current advancements in different optimized strategies to produce high-yield EV/exosomes with higher bioactivity, or engineer them with improved homing efficiency and therapeutic potency. In particular, we outline recent findings toward preclinical and clinical translation of EV/exosome therapy in ischemic heart diseases, and discuss the potential barriers in regard to clinical translation of EV/exosome therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and chronic cardiovascular disorder associated with various pathophysiological alterations, including atrial electrical and structural remodeling, disrupted calcium handling, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, aberrant energy metabolism, and immune dysregulation. Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in the pathogenesis of AF. OBJECTIVE This discussion aims to elucidate the involvement of AF-related lncRNAs, with a specific focus on their role as miRNA sponges that modulate crucial signaling pathways, contributing to the progression of AF. We also address current limitations in AF-related lncRNA research and explore potential future directions in this field. Additionally, we summarize feasible strategies and promising delivery systems for targeting lncRNAs in AF therapy. CONCLUSION In conclusion, targeting AF-related lncRNAs holds substantial promise for future investigations and represents a potential therapeutic avenue for managing AF.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in clinic, and its incidence is increasing year by year. In today's increasingly prevalent society, ageing poses a huge challenge to global healthcare systems. AF not only affects patients' quality of life, but also causes thrombosis, heart failure and other complications in severe cases. Although there are some measures for the diagnosis and treatment of AF, specific serum markers and targeted therapy are still lacking. In recent years, ncRNAs have become a hot topic in cardiovascular disease research. These ncRNAs are not only involved in the occurrence and development of AF, but also in pathophysiological processes such as myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis, and are potential biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases. We believe that the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism of AF and the study of diagnosis and treatment targets can form a more systematic diagnosis and treatment framework of AF and provide convenience for individuals with AF and the society.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale bilayer phospholipid membrane vesicles released by cells. Contained large molecules such as nucleic acid, protein, and lipid, EVs are an integral part of cell communication. The contents of EVs vary based on the cell source and play an important role in both pathological and physiological conditions. EVs can be used as drugs or targets in disease treatment, and changes in the contents of EVs can indicate the progression of diseases. In recent years, with the continuous exploration of the structure, characteristics, and functions of EVs, the potential of engineered EVs for drug delivery and therapy being constantly explored. This review provides a brief overview of the structure, characteristics and functions of EVs, summarizes the advanced application of EVs and outlook on the prospect of it. It is our hope that this review will increase understanding of the current development of medical applications of EVs and help us overcome future challenges.

Abstract
Exosomes-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to play significant roles in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, there is little known about the relationship between exosomes-related lncRNAs and ccRCC. This study aimed to select optimal prognostic model based on exosomes-related lncRNAs to provide a methodological reference for high-dimensional data. Based on the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database of 515 ccRCC patients, two risk score models were generated underlying Bayesian spike-and-slab lasso and lasso regression. The optimal model was determined by calculating the area of time-dependent receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves in the TCGA and ArrayExpress databases. The immune patterns and sensitivity of immunotherapy between the high and low groups were further explored. Initially, we constructed two risk score models containing 11 and 7 exosomes-related lncRNAs according to Bayesian spike-and-slab lasso and lasso regression respectively. ROC curves revealed that the model constructed by Bayesian spike-and-slab lasso regression was more reliable in predicting survival at 1, 3, and 5 years, yielding an area under the curves (AUCs) of 0.796, 0.732, and 0.742, respectively. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) curves presented that prognosis was poorer in the high-risk score group (P < 0.001). Additionally, the high-risk score group patients were enriched in immune-activating phenotypes and more sensitive to immunotherapy. The exosomes-related lncRNAs model constructed with Bayesian spike-and-slab lasso regression has higher predictive power for ccRCC patients' prognosis, which provides methodological reference for the analysis of high-dimensional data in bioinformatics and guides the tailored treatment of ccRCC patients.
