Exosomal lncRNA HCP5 derived from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells improves chronic periodontitis by miR-24-3p/ HO1/ P38/ ELK1 pathway. Heliyon 2024; 10:e34203. [PMID: 39104492 PMCID: PMC11298838 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e34203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective The present study aimed to explore the function of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMMSCs)-derived exosomal long noncoding RNA histocompatibility leukocyte antigen complex P5 (HCP5) in the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) to improve chronic periodontitis (CP). Methods Exosomes were extracted from hBMMSCs. Alizarin red S staining was used to detect mineralised nodules. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to measure HCP5 and miR-24-3p expression. The mRNA and protein levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin, osterix, runt-related transcription factor 2, bone morphogenetic protein 2, osteopontin, fibronectin, collagen 1, heme oxygenase 1 (HO1), P38, and ETS transcription factor ELK1 (ELK1) were detected using RT-qPCR and Western blot. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were used to determine the HO1 and carbon monoxide concentrations. Heme, biliverdin, and Fe2+ levels were determined using detection kits. Micro-computed tomography, hematoxylin and eosin staining, ALP staining, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, ELISA, and RT-qPCR were conducted to evaluate the effect of HCP5 on CP mice. Dual luciferase, RNA immunoprecipitation, and RNA pulldown experiments were performed to identify the interactions among HCP5, miR-24-3p, and HO1. Results The osteogenic ability of hPDLSCs significantly increased when co-cultured with hBMMSCs or hBMMSCs exosomes. Overexpression of HCP5 and HO1 in hBMMSCs exosomes promoted the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs, and knockdown of HCP5 repressed the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. HCP5 knockdown enhanced the inflammatory response and repressed osteogenesis in CP mice. MiR-24-3p overexpression diminished the stimulatory effect of HCP5 on the osteogenic ability of hPDLSCs. Mechanistically, HCP5 acted as a sponge for miR-24-3p and regulated HO1 expression, and HO1 activated the P38/ELK1 pathway. Conclusion HBMMSCs-derived exosomal HCP5 promotes the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs and alleviates CP by regulating the miR-24-3p/HO1/P38/ELK1 signalling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the cardioprotective effect of exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on donation after circulatory death (DCD) hearts preserved with normothermic ex vivo heart perfusion (EVHP) in a rat heart transplantation model. METHODS Thirty-two male Lewis rats were divided into 2 groups: the control group and the exosome group. The donor-heart rats were subjected to the DCD procedure by suffering a 15-min warm ischemia injury, subsequently preserved with EVHP for 90 min, and then transplanted into recipients via abdominal heterotopic heart transplantation. Vehicle or exosome was added into the perfusate of normothermic EVHP in the control or exosome group. We evaluated left ventricular graft function, myocardial inflammation, and myocardial apoptosis of the donor heart 1.5 h after heart transplantation. Furthermore, we investigate the alternation of myocardial gene expression in the donor hearts between both groups by transcriptome sequencing. RESULTS The treatment with exosome significantly enhanced cardiac function through increasing left ventricular developed pressure, dp/dtmax, and dp/dtmin of DCD hearts at 90 min after heart transplantation compared with the control group. The myocardial cells in the exosome group exhibited an orderly arrangement without obvious edema. Furthermore, exosome added into perfusate in the exosome group significantly attenuated the level of inflammatory response and apoptosis. Transcriptome sequencing and RT-qPCR showed the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B pathway was activated after exosome treatment. CONCLUSIONS Normothermic EVHP combined with exosome can be a promising and novel DCD heart preservation strategy, alleviating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in the DCD heart.

[PMID: 38234046 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.14660] [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: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS Myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) contributes to serious myocardial injury and even death. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to play pivotal roles in the occurrence and development of MIRI. Here, the detailed molecular mechanism of lncRNA SNHG1 in MIRI was explored. METHODS AND RESULTS A cell model of MIRI was established through hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) stimulation. Cell viability and pyroptosis were evaluated utilizing MTT, PI staining, and flow cytometry. Interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 secretion levels were examined by ELISA. The gene and protein expression were detected by RT-qPCR and western blot, respectively. Dual luciferase reporter gene, RIP and ChIP assays were performed to analyse the molecular interactions. The results showed that lncRNA SNHG1 overexpression alleviated H/R-induced HL-1 cell pyroptosis (all P < 0.05). LncRNA SNHG1 promoted KLF4 expression by sponging miR-137-3p. miR-137-3p silencing alleviated H/R-induced pyroptosis in HL-1 cells (all P < 0.05), which was abolished by KLF4 knockdown (all P < 0.05). KLF4 activated the AKT pathway by transcriptionally activating TRPV1 in HL-1 cells (all P < 0.05). TRPV1 knockdown reversed the alleviation of SNHG1 upregulation on H/R-induced pyroptosis in HL-1 cells (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These results showed that lncRNA SNHG1 assuaged cardiomyocyte pyroptosis during MIRI progression by regulating the KLF4/TRPV1/AKT axis through sponging miR-137-3p. Our findings may provide novel therapeutic targets for MIRI.

Abstract
Ischemia reperfusion (I/R) is a common pathological process which occurs mostly in organs like the heart, brain, kidney, and lung. The injury caused by I/R gradually becomes one of the main causes of fatal diseases, which is an urgent clinical problem to be solved. Although great progress has been made in therapeutic methods, including surgical, drug, gene therapy, and transplant therapy for I/R injury, the development of effective methods to cure the injury remains a worldwide challenge. In recent years, exosomes have attracted much attention for their important roles in immune response, antigen presentation, cell migration, cell differentiation, and tumor invasion. Meanwhile, exosomes have been shown to have great potential in the treatment of I/R injury in organs. The study of the exosome-mediated signaling pathway can not only help to reveal the mechanism behind exosomes promoting reperfusion injury recovery, but also provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of exosomes. Here, we review the research progress in utilizing various exosomes from different cell types to promote the healing of I/R injury, focusing on the classical signaling pathways such as PI3K/Akt, NF-κB, Nrf2, PTEN, Wnt, MAPK, toll-like receptor, and AMPK. The results suggest that exosomes regulate these signaling pathways to reduce oxidative stress, regulate immune responses, decrease the expression of inflammatory cytokines, and promote tissue repair, making exosomes a competitive emerging vector for treating I/R damage in organs.

Kaohsiung J Med Sci 2024; 40:46-62.

Abstract
Cardiac remodeling is manifested by hypertrophy and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, resulting in the progression of cardiovascular diseases. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve as modifiers of cardiac remodeling. In this study, we aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of H19 shuttled by mesenchymal stem cells (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EV) in cardiac remodeling upon heart failure (HF). Using the GEO database, H19, microRNA (miR)-29b-3p, and CDC42 were screened out as differentially expressed biomolecules in HF. H19 and CDC42 were elevated, and miR-29b-3p was decreased after MSC-EV treatment in rats subjected to ligation of the coronary artery. MSC-EV alleviated myocardial injury in rats with HF. H19 downregulation exacerbated myocardial injury, while miR-29b-3p inhibitor alleviated myocardial injury. By contrast, CDC42 downregulation aggravated the myocardial injury again. PI3K/AKT pathway was activated by MSC-EV. These findings provide insights into how H19 shuttled by EV mitigates cardiac remodeling through a competitive endogenous RNA network regarding miR-29b-3p and CDC42.

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
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) significantly impacts global society since it is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and extracellular vesicle (EV)-based therapies have been extensively investigated. EV delivery is involved in mediating the progression of CVDs and has great potential to be biomarker and therapeutic molecular carrier. Besides, EVs from stem cells and cardiac cells can effectively protect the heart from various pathologic conditions, and then serve as an alternative treatment for CVDs. Moreover, the research of using EVs as delivery carriers of therapeutic molecules, membrane engineering modification of EVs, or combining EVs with biomaterials further improves the application potential of EVs in clinical treatment. However, currently there are only a few articles summarizing the application of EVs in CVDs. This review provides an overview of the role of EVs in the pathogenesis and diagnosis of CVDs. It also focuses on how EVs promote the repair of myocardial injury and therapeutic methods of CVDs. In conclusion, it is of great significance to review the research on the application of EVs in the treatment of CVDs, which lays a foundation for further exploration of the role of EVs, and clarifies the prospect of EVs in the treatment of myocardial injury.

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
Cardiac injury, such as myocardial infarction and heart failure, remains a significant global health burden. The limited regenerative capacity of the adult heart poses a challenge for restoring its function after injury. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as promising candidates for cardiac regeneration due to their ability to differentiate into various cell types and secrete bioactive molecules. In recent years, attention has been given to noncoding RNAs derived from MSCs, particularly long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and their potential role in cardiac injury and repair. LncRNAs are RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but play critical roles in gene regulation and cellular responses including cardiac repair and regeneration. This review focused on MSC-derived lncRNAs and their implications in cardiac regeneration, including their effects on cardiac function, myocardial remodeling, cardiomyocyte injury, and angiogenesis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of MSC-derived lncRNAs in cardiac injury and repair may contribute to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for treating cardiovascular diseases. However, further research is needed to fully elucidate the potential of MSC-derived lncRNAs and address the challenges in this field.

Abstract
There has always been a tendency of medicine to take an individualised approach to treating patients, but the most significant advances were achieved through the methods of molecular biology, where the nucleic acids are in the limelight. Decades of research of molecular biology resulted in setting medicine on a completely new platform. The most significant current research is related to the possibilities that DNA and RNA analyses can offer in terms of more precise diagnostics and more subtle stratification of patients in order to identify patients for specific therapy treatments. Additionally, principles of structure and functioning of nucleic acids have become a motive for creating entirely new therapy strategies and an innovative generation of drugs. All this also applies to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) which are the leading cause of mortality in developed countries. This review considers the most up-to-date achievements related to the use of translatory potential of DNA and RNA in treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and considers the challenges and prospects in this field. The foundations which allow the use of translatory potential are also presented. The first part of this review focuses on the potential of the DNA variants which impact conventional therapies and on the DNA variants which are starting points for designing new pharmacotherapeutics. The second part of this review considers the translatory potential of non-coding RNA molecules which can be used to formulate new generations of therapeutics for CVDs.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction has long been the leading cause of death in coronary heart disease, which is characterized by irreversible cardiomyocyte death and restricted blood supply. Conventional reperfusion therapy can further aggravate myocardial injury. Stem cell therapy, especially with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), has emerged as a promising approach to promote cardiac repair and improve cardiac function. MSCs may induce these effects by secreting exosomes containing therapeutically active RNA, proteins and lipids. Notably, normal cardiac function depends on intracardiac paracrine signaling via exosomes, and exosomes secreted by cardiac cells can partially reflect changes in the heart during disease, so analyzing these vesicles may provide valuable insights into the pathology of myocardial infarction as well as guide the development of new treatments. The present review examines how exosomes produced by MSCs and cardiac cells may influence injury after myocardial infarction and serve as therapies against such injury. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are one of the most potent therapeutic strategies for repairing cardiac injury. It has been shown in the latest studies that MSCs cannot survive in the heart for a long time. Consequently, the exosomes secreted by MSCs may dominate the repair of heart injury and promote the restoration of cardiac cells, vascular proliferation, immune regulation, etc. Based on the current research, the progress of the acting mechanism, application prospects and challenges of exosomes, including non-coding RNA, in repairing cardiac injuries are summarised in this article.

Neuroscience 2023; 521:44-57. [PMID: 37080449 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2023.02.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023]
Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived exosomes are demonstrated to exert neuroprotective effects in stroke. We aimed to explore the role and mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) KLF3 antisense RNA 1 (KLF3-AS1) in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (BMSCs-Exos) in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Exosomes were isolated from the culture medium of BMSCs. A mouse model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in vivo and a BV-2 cell model of oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/RX) in vitro were established. Cell viability and apoptosis were detected using MTT assay, TUNEL staining and flow cytometry, respectively. Related proteins were determined with western blot and immunohistochemistry, while related RNAs were analyzed by RT-qPCR. Neurological deficit and cerebral infarct volume were evaluated by the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) and TTC staining, respectively. Our observations indicate that exosomes derived from BMSCs-preconditioned medium exerted neuroprotective effects, as indicated by the increased cell viability and the suppressed apoptosis in OGD/RX-suffered BV-2 cells. KLF3-AS1 expression was upregulated in BMSCs-Exos. Furthermore, KLF3-AS1 knockdown antagonized the protective effects of BMSCs-Exos. Mechanistically, BMSCs-Exos carrying KLF3-AS1 inhibited apoptosis via enhancing autophagy. KLF3-AS1 was found to recruit ETS variant transcription factor 4 (ETV4), which upregulated Sirt1 expression. Knockdown of KLF3-AS1 neutralized the protective effects of BMSCs-Exos on MCAO-induced brain injury, which was then reversed by the treatment with Sirt1 inhibitor EX527. We concluded that KLF3-AS1 derived from BMSCs-Exos promoted autophagy to alleviate I/R injury via ETV4/Sirt1 axis.

Abstract
Exosomes are membrane-surrounded extracellular vesicles released by almost all cell types, which mediate intercellular communications by delivering bioactive molecules from secretory cells to recipient cells. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a large class of non-(protein)-coding RNAs with lengths exceeding 200 nucleotides that are very active in the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Increasing evidence suggests that exosomal lncRNAs also play important roles in the progress of CVDs. We focus on the current available studies regarding these extracellular lncRNAs secreted and absorbed by cardiomyocytes and their functional roles in CVDs, hopefully providing a basis for deeper understanding of the pathological mechanisms of CVDs and their potential for clinical diagnosis and therapy.

Exosomes Derived from Human Amniotic Mesenchymal Stem Cells Facilitate Diabetic Wound Healing by Angiogenesis and Enrich Multiple lncRNAs. Tissue Eng Regen Med 2023; 20:295-308. [PMID: 36696086 PMCID: PMC10070558 DOI: 10.1007/s13770-022-00513-w] [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: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic wound healing remains a major challenge due to the impaired functionality of angiogenesis by persistent hyperglycemia. Mesenchymal stem cell exosomes are appropriate candidates for regulating the formation of angiogenesis in tissue repair and regeneration. Here, we explored the effects of exosomes derived from human amniotic mesenchymal stem cell (hAMSC-Exos) on the biological activities of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with high glucose and on diabetic wound healing and investigate lncRNAs related to angiogenesis in hAMSC-Exos. METHODS hAMSCs and hAMSC-Exos were isolated and identified by flow cytometry or western blot. A series of functional assays such as cell counting kit-8, scratching, transwell and tube formation assays were performed to evaluate the potential effect of hAMSC-Exos on high glucose-treated HUVECs. The effect of hAMSC-Exos on diabetic wound healing were tested by measuring wound closure rates and immunohistochemical staining of CD31. Subsequently, the lncRNAs profiles in hAMSC-Exos and hAMSCs were examined to screen the lncRNAs related to angiogenesis. RESULTS The isolated hAMSC-Exos had a size range of 30-150 nm and were positive for CD9, CD63 and CD81. The hAMSC-Exos facilitate the functional properties of high glucose-treated HUVECs including the proliferation, migration and the angiogenic activities as well as wound closure and angiogenesis in diabetic wound. hAMSC-Exos were enriched lncRNAs that related to angiogenesis, including PANTR1, H19, OIP5-AS1 and NR2F1-AS1. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrated hAMSC-Exos facilitate diabetic wound healing by angiogenesis and contain several exosomal lncRNAs related to angiogenesis, which may represent a promising strategy for diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The exosomes (exos) of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) play an important therapeutic role in repairing myocardial injury. The purpose of this study was to explore how the exos of BMSCs can alleviate the myocardial cell injury caused by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) through HAND2-AS1/miR-17-5p/Mfn 2 pathway. METHODS Cardiomyocytes H9c2 were damaged by H/R to mimic myocardial damage. Exos were gained from BMSC. The content of HAND2-AS1 and miR-17-5p was assessed by RT-qPCR. Cell survival rate and apoptosis were estimated by MTT assay and flow cytometry. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of protein. The contents of LDH, SOD, and MDA in the cell culture were detected by commercial kits. The luciferase reporter gene method confirmed the targeted relationships. RESULTS In H9c2 cells induced by H/R, the level of HAND2-AS1 declined and the expression of miR-17-5p was elevated, but their expression was reversed after exo treatment. Exos improved the cell viability, declined cell apoptosis, controlled the oxidative stress, and repressed inflammation, thus attenuating the damage of H9c2 induced by H/R, whereas, the knockdown of HAND2-AS1 partly alleviated the impacts of exos. MiR-17-5p played the opposite role to HAND2-AS1 on H/R-injured myocardial cells. CONCLUSION Exos derived from BMSC could alleviate H/R-induced myocardial injury by activating HAND2-AS1/miR-17-5p/Mfn2 pathway.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the world's leading cause of death despite the best available healthcare and therapy. Emerging as a key mediator of intercellular and inter-organ communication in CVD pathogenesis, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous group of membrane-enclosed nano-sized vesicles released by virtually all cells, of which their RNA cargo, especially non-coding RNAs (ncRNA), has been increasingly recognized as a promising diagnostic and therapeutic target. Recent evidence shows that ncRNAs, such as small ncRNAs, circular RNAs, and long ncRNAs, can be selectively sorted into EVs or other non-vesicular carriers and modulate various biological processes in recipient cells. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the literature regarding the origin, extracellular carrier, and functional mechanisms of extracellular ncRNAs with a focus on small ncRNAs, circular RNAs, and long ncRNAs. The pathophysiological roles of extracellular ncRNAs in various CVDs, including atherosclerosis, ischemic heart diseases, hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, and heart failure, are extensively discussed. We also provide an update on recent developments and challenges in using extracellular ncRNAs as biomarkers or therapeutical targets in these CVDs.

Abstract
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as miRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported as regulators of cardiovascular pathophysiology. Their transient effect and diversified mechanisms of action offer a plethora of therapeutic opportunities for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, physicochemical RNA features such as charge, stability, and structural organization hinder efficient on-target cellular delivery. Here, we highlight recent preclinical advances in ncRNA delivery for the cardiovascular system using non-viral approaches. We identify the unmet needs and advance possible solutions towards clinical translation. Finding the optimal delivery vehicle and administration route is vital to improve therapeutic efficacy and safety; however, given the different types of ncRNAs, this may ultimately not be frameable within a one-size-fits-all approach.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality globally. Benefiting from the advantages of early diagnosis and precision medicine, stem cell-based therapies have emerged as promising treatment options for CVDs. However, autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation imposes a potential risk of immunological rejection, infusion toxicity, and oncogenesis. Fortunately, exosome can override these limitations. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in exosome from stem cell paracrine factors play critical roles in stem cell therapy and participate in numerous regulatory processes, including transcriptional silencing, transcriptional activation, chromosome modification, and intranuclear transport. Accordingly, lncRNAs can treat CVDs by directly acting on specific signaling pathways. This mini review systematically summarizes the key regulatory actions of lncRNAs from different stem cells on myocardial aging and apoptosis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, retinopathy, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. In addition, the current challenges and future prospects of lncRNAs treatment for CVDs are discussed.

Abstract
The ability of extracellular vesicles (EVs) to regulate a broad range of cellular processes has recently been used to treat diseases. Growing evidence indicates that EVs play a cardioprotective role in heart disease by activating beneficial signaling pathways. Multiple functional components of EVs and intracellular molecular mechanisms are involved in the process. To overcome the shortcomings of native EVs such as their heterogeneity and limited tropism, a series of engineering approaches has been developed to improve the therapeutic efficiency of EVs. In this review, we present an overview of the research and future directions for EVs-based cardiac therapies with an emphasis on EVs-mediated delivery of therapeutic agents. The advantages and limitations of various modification strategies are discussed, and possible opportunities for improvement are proposed. An in-depth understanding of the endogenous properties of EVs and EVs engineering strategies could lead to a promising cell-free therapy for cardiac repair.

Extract in Treating Acute Myocardial Infarction. Drug Des Devel Ther 2022; 16:3117-3132. [PMID: 36132334 PMCID: PMC9484776 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s370473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The network pharmacology approach and validation experiment were performed to investigate the potential mechanisms of Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb. (APL) extract against acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods The primary compounds of APL extract were identified by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis. The intersecting targets of active compounds and AMI were determined via network pharmacology analysis. A mouse model of AMI was established by subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol (Iso). Mice were treated with APL extract by intragastric administration. We assessed the effects of APL extract on the electrocardiography (ECG), cardiac representative markers, representative indicators of oxidative stress, pathological changes, and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway, as well as apoptosis-related indicators in the mice. Results Five candidate compounds were identified in APL extract. Enrichment analyses indicated that APL extract could exert myocardial protective effects via the PI3K/Akt pathway. ST segment elevation and increased heart rate were obviously reversed in APL extract groups compared to Iso group. We also detected significant decreases in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), malondialdehyde (MDA), and reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as a significant increase in superoxide dismutase activities (SOD) after APL extract treatment. In addition, APL extract markedly decreased the number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes after AMI. In the APL extract groups of AMI mice, there were increased expression levels of p-PI3K, p-Akt, and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) protein, and there were decreases in Bcl-2-associated X (Bax), cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteases-3 (caspase-3), and cleaved-caspase-3 protein expression levels, as well as the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Conclusion APL extract had a protective effect against Iso-induced AMI. APL extract could ameliorate AMI through antioxidant and anti-apoptosis actions which may be associated with the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
Our study aimed to explore the function and mechanism of Dexmedetomidine (Dex) in regulating myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced mitochondrial apoptosis through lncRNA HCP5. We demonstrated Dex suppressed I/R-induced myocardial infarction and mitochondrial apoptosis in vivo. Dex induced the expression of lncRNA HCP5 and MCL1, inhibited miR-29a expression and activated the JAK2/STAT3 signaling. Dex attenuated hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced mitochondrial apoptosis by upregulating lncRNA HCP5 in cardiomyocytes. Overexpression of lncRNA HCP5 sponged miR-29a to suppress H/R-induced mitochondrial apoptosis. Knockdown of miR-29a also alleviated cardiomyocyte apoptosis by upregulating MCL1. Overexpression of lncRNA HCP5 activated the JAK2/STAT3 signaling through sponging miR-29a and enhancing MCL1 expression in cardiomyocytes. Dex mitigated myocardial I/R-induced mitochondrial apoptosis through the lncRNA HCP5/miR-29a/MCL1 axis and activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling.

Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity May Be Alleviated by Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomal lncRNA via Inhibiting Inflammation. J Inflamm Res 2022; 15:4467-4486. [PMID: 35966005 PMCID: PMC9365022 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s358471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 07/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To explore the therapeutic mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells derived exosomes (BMSC-Exos) for doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and identify the long noncoding RNAs’ (lncRNAs’) anti-inflammation function derived by BMSC-Exos. Materials and Methods High-throughput sequencing and transcriptome bioinformatics analysis of lncRNA were performed between DOX group and BEC (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells derived exosomes coculture) group. Elevated lncRNA (ElncRNA) in the cardiomyocytes of BEC group compared with DOX group were confirmed. Based on the location and co-expression relationship between ElncRNA and its target genes, we predicted two target genes of ElncRNA, named cis_targets and trans_targets. The target genes were analyzed by enrichment analyses. Then, we identified the key cellular biological pathways regulating DIC. Experiments were performed to verify the therapeutic effects of exosomes and the origin of lncRNAs in vitro and in vivo. Results Three hundred and one lncRNAs were differentially expressed between DOX and BEC groups (fold change >1.5 and p < 0.05), of which 169 lncRNAs were elevated in the BEC group compared with the DOX group. GO enrichment analysis of target genes of ElncRNAs showed that they were predominantly involved in inflammation-associated processes. KEGG analysis indicated that their regulatory pathways were mainly involved in oxidative stress-induced inflammation and proliferation of cardiomyocyte. The verification experiments in vitro showed that the oxidative stress and cell deaths were decreased in BEC groups. Moreover, from the top 10 ElncRNAs identified in the sequencing results, MSTRG.98097.4 and MSTRG.58791.2 were both decreased in the DOX group and elevated in BEC group. While in verification experiments in vivo, only the expression of MSTRG.58791.2 is consistent with the result in vitro. Conclusion Our results show that ElncRNA, MSTRG.58791.2, is possibly secreted by the BMSC-Exos and able to alleviate DIC by suppressing inflammatory response and inflammation-related cell death.

Abstract
Objective Cardiac injury induced by myocardial ischemic reperfusion (MI/R) is still an intractable question in clinical, and it has been confirmed as a major reason for the development of cardiovascular disease. Bioinformatics analysis has been widely used for revealing the pathogenic mechanism of diseases. This study attempted to identify the biomarkers and reveal the regulation mechanism of MI/R injury via bioinformatics analysis. Methods The GSE67308 and GSE74951 were obtained from the GEO database. The datasets were analyzed with GEO2R tool, and the genes with |logFC| > 2 and p value <0.05 were identified as the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The enrichment analysis of the DEGs was performed with the DAVID database and R language. Moreover, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs was performed with the STRING database and then visualized with Cytoscape. Result The results showed that 195 downregulated mRNAs and 240 downregulated mRNAs were found in GSE67308, and 11 miRNAs were found in GSE7495. 152 common genes were screened in DEGs of GSE67308 and the targets of 11 miRNAs in GSE7495. Moreover, the enrichment analysis showed that the common genes were related with inflammatory response, immune response, PI3K/AKT, NF-κB, and TNF pathways. Besides, mmu-miR-92a-3p and mmu-miR-27b-3p were identified as the hubs miRNAs, and TNF, IL1B, and IFG1 were screened as the key nodes. Conclusion This study established a miRNA-mRNA network for cardiac injury induced by MI/R and provided the evidence concerning the molecular mechanism of MI/R injury, which provided some reference for MI/R treatment.
