Bhat OM, Mir RA, Nehvi IB, Wani NA, Dar AH, Zargar MA. Emerging role of sphingolipids and extracellular vesicles in development and therapeutics of cardiovascular diseases. IJC HEART & VASCULATURE 2024; 53:101469. [PMID: 39139609 PMCID: PMC11320467 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcha.2024.101469] [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: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024]
Abstract
Sphingolipids are eighteen carbon alcohol lipids synthesized from non-sphingolipid precursors in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The sphingolipids serve as precursors for a vast range of moieties found in our cells that play a critical role in various cellular processes, including cell division, senescence, migration, differentiation, apoptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, nutrition intake, metabolism, and protein synthesis. In CVDs, different subclasses of sphingolipids and other derived molecules such as sphingomyelin (SM), ceramides (CERs), and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) are directly related to diabetic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, ischemic heart disease (IHD), hypertension, and atherogenesis. Several genome-wide association studies showed an association between genetic variations in sphingolipid pathway genes and the risk of CVDs. The sphingolipid pathway plays an important role in the biogenesis and secretion of exosomes. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs)/ exosomes have recently been found as possible indicators for the onset of CVDs, linking various cellular signaling pathways that contribute to the disease progression. Important features of EVs like biocompatibility, and crossing of biological barriers can improve the pharmacokinetics of drugs and will be exploited to develop next-generation drug delivery systems. In this review, we have comprehensively discussed the role of sphingolipids, and sphingolipid metabolites in the development of CVDs. In addition, concise deliberations were laid to discuss the role of sEVs/exosomes in regulating the pathophysiological processes of CVDs and the exosomes as therapeutic targets.

[PMID: 38823339 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.113979] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Atherosclerosis, the primary mechanism underlying the development of many cardiovascular illnesses, continues to be one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Platelet (PLT), which are essential for maintaining body homeostasis, have been strongly linked to the onset of atherosclerosis at various stages due to their inherent tendency to bind to atherosclerotic lesions and show an affinity for plaques. Therefore, mimicking PLT's innate adhesive features may be necessary to effectively target plaques. PLT-derived nanocarriers have emerged as a promising biomimetic targeting strategy for treating atherosclerosis due to their numerous advantages. These advantages include excellent biocompatibility, minimal macrophage phagocytosis, prolonged circulation time, targeting capability for impaired vascular sites, and suitability as carriers for anti-atherosclerotic drugs. Herein, we discuss the role of PLT in atherogenesis and propose the design of nanocarriers based on PLT-membrane coating and PLT-derived vesicles. These nanocarriers can target multiple biological elements relevant to plaque development. The review also emphasizes the current challenges and future research directions for the effective utilization of PLT-derived nanocarriers in treating atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are diverse, membrane-bound vesicles released from cells into the extracellular environment. They originate from either endosomes or the cell membrane and typically include exosomes and microvesicles. These EVs serve as crucial mediators of intercellular communication, carrying a variety of contents such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, which regulate the physiological and pathological processes of target cells. Moreover, the molecular cargo of EVs can reflect critical information about the originating cells, making them potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. Over the past decade, the role of EVs as key communicators between cell types in cardiovascular physiology and pathology has gained increasing recognition. EVs from different cellular sources, or from the same source under different cellular conditions, can have distinct impacts on the management, diagnosis, and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, it is essential to consider the influence of cardiovascular-derived EVs on the metabolism of peripheral organs. This review aims to summarize recent advancements in the field of cardiovascular research with respect to the roles and implications of EVs. Our goal is to provide new insights and directions for the early prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, with an emphasis on the therapeutic potential and diagnostic value of EVs.

Platelet-derived exosomes regulate endothelial cell inflammation and M1 macrophage polarization in coronary artery thrombosis via modulating miR-34a-5p expression. Sci Rep 2024; 14:17429. [PMID: 39075107 PMCID: PMC11286768 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-67654-x] [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: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/31/2024] Open
Abstract
As the important factors in coronary artery thrombosis, endothelial injury and M1 macrophage polarization are closely related to the expression of miR-34a-5p. Exosomes in plasma are mainly derived from platelets and play an important role in thrombosis. Based on these facts, this study was conducted to investigate the acting mechanism of platelet-derived exosomes (PLT-exo) in the effects of endothelial injury and M1 macrophage polarization on coronary artery thrombosis. Firstly, rats were divided into the sham-operated group and the coronary microembolization (CME) group, and their plasma-derived exosomes were extracted to detect the expression of miR-34a-5p. Next, the PLT-exo were extracted from healthy volunteers and then co-cultured with ox-LDL-induced endothelial cells and LPS-induced macrophages, respectively. Subsequently, the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and ICAM-1 in endothelial cells was measured, and the level of markers related to M1 macrophage polarization and Sirt1/NF-κB pathway was detected. Finally, the above indicators were examined again after PLT-exo combined with miR-34a-5p mimic were co-cultured with endothelial cells and macrophages, respectively. The results demonstrated that the expression of miR-34a-5p in the CME group was up-regulated compared with the sham-operated group. In cell experiments, PLT-exo modulated the Sirt1/NF-κB pathway by inhibiting the expression of intracellular miR-34a-5p and down-regulated the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and ICAM-1 in endothelial cells and M1 macrophage polarization. After the transfection with miR-34a-5p mimic, endothelial cell inflammatory injury and M1 macrophage polarization increased to varying degrees. In conclusion, PLT-exo can alleviate coronary artery thrombosis by reducing endothelial cell inflammation and M1 macrophage polarization via inhibiting miR-34a-5p expression. In contrast, miR-34a-5p overexpression in PLT-exo may exacerbate these pathological injuries in coronary artery thrombosis.

Abstract
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating chronic condition that is characterized by unresolved fatigue, post-exertion symptom exacerbation (PESE), cognitive dysfunction, orthostatic intolerance, and other symptoms. ME/CFS lacks established clinical biomarkers and requires further elucidation of disease mechanisms. A growing number of studies demonstrate signs of hematological and cardiovascular pathology in ME/CFS cohorts, including hyperactivated platelets, endothelial dysfunction, vascular dysregulation, and anomalous clotting processes. To build on these findings, and to identify potential biomarkers that can be related to pathophysiology, we measured differences in protein expression in platelet-poor plasma (PPP) samples from 15 ME/CFS study participants and 10 controls not previously infected with SARS-CoV-2, using DIA LC-MS/MS. We identified 24 proteins that are significantly increased in the ME/CFS group compared to the controls, and 21 proteins that are significantly downregulated. Proteins related to clotting processes - thrombospondin-1 (important in platelet activation), platelet factor 4, and protein S - were differentially expressed in the ME/CFS group, suggestive of a dysregulated coagulation system and abnormal endothelial function. Complement machinery was also significantly downregulated, including C9 which forms part of the membrane attack complex. Additionally, we identified a significant upregulation of lactotransferrin, protein S100-A9, and an immunoglobulin variant. The findings from this experiment further implicate the coagulation and immune system in ME/CFS, and bring to attention the pathology of or imposed on the endothelium. This study highlights potential systems and proteins that require further research with regards to their contribution to the pathogenesis of ME/CFS, symptom manifestation, and biomarker potential, and also gives insight into the hematological and cardiovascular risk for ME/CFS individuals affected by diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is considered to be one of the major causes of cardiovascular disease. Its pathological microenvironment is characterised by increased production of reactive oxygen species, lipid oxides, and excessive inflammatory factors, which accumulate at the monolayer endothelial cells in the vascular wall to form AS plaques. Therefore, intervention in the pathological microenvironment would be beneficial in delaying AS. Researchers have designed biomimetic nanomedicines with excellent biocompatibility and the ability to avoid being cleared by the immune system through different therapeutic strategies to achieve better therapeutic effects for the characteristics of AS. Biomimetic nanomedicines can further enhance delivery efficiency and improve treatment efficacy due to their good biocompatibility and ability to evade clearance by the immune system. Biomimetic nanomedicines based on therapeutic strategies such as neutralising inflammatory factors, ROS scavengers, lipid clearance and integration of diagnosis and treatment are versatile approaches for effective treatment of AS. The review firstly summarises the targeting therapeutic strategy of biomimetic nanomedicine for AS in recent 5 years. Biomimetic nanomedicines using cell membranes, proteins, and extracellular vesicles as carriers have been developed for AS.

Abstract
Exosomes, as nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs), are secreted by all types of cells to facilitate intercellular communication in living organisms. After being taken up by neighboring or distant cells, exosomes can alter the expression levels of target genes in recipient cells and thereby affect their pathophysiological outcomes depending on payloads encapsulated therein. The functions and mechanisms of exosomes in cardiovascular diseases have attracted much attention in recent years and are thought to have cardioprotective and regenerative potential. This review summarizes the biogenesis and molecular contents of exosomes and details the roles played by exosomes released from various cells in the progression and recovery of cardiovascular disease. The review also discusses the current status of traditional exosomes in cardiovascular tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, pointing out several limitations in their application. It emphasizes that some of the existing emerging industrial or bioengineering technologies are promising to compensate for these shortcomings, and the combined application of exosomes and biomaterials provides an opportunity for mutual enhancement of their performance. The integration of exosome-based cell-free diagnostic and therapeutic options will contribute to the further development of cardiovascular regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Exosomes are nanovesicles with multiple components used in several applications. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are well known for their great potential in clinical applications. MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) have been shown to mediate tissue regeneration in various diseases, including neurological, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases, cancer, ischemic heart disease, lung injury, and liver fibrosis. They can modulate the immune response by interacting with immune effector cells in the presence of anti-inflammatory compounds and are involved in intercellular communication through various types of cargo. This review summarizes the MSC-Exos-mediated tissue regeneration in various diseases, including neurological, cardiovascular, liver, kidney, articular cartilage, and oral tissue applications. In addition, we discuss the challenges and prospects of MSC-Exos in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular diseases are the second leading cause of death worldwide. Despite significant research investment, the only available therapeutic options are mechanical thrombectomy and tissue plasminogen activator thrombolysis. None of the more than a thousand drugs tested on animal models have proven successful in human clinical trials. Several factors contribute to this poor translation of data from stroke-related animal models to human stroke patients. Firstly, our understanding of the molecular and cellular processes involved in recovering from an ischemic stroke is severely limited. Secondly, although the risk of stroke is particularly high among older patients with comorbidities, most drugs are tested on young, healthy animals in controlled laboratory conditions. Furthermore, in animal models, the tracking of post-stroke recovery typically spans only 3 to 28 days, with occasional extensions to 60 days, whereas human stroke recovery is a more extended and complex process. Thirdly, young animal models often exhibit a considerably higher rate of spontaneous recovery compared to humans following a stroke. Fourth, only a very limited number of animals are utilized for each condition, including control groups. Another contributing factor to the much smaller beneficial effects in humans is that positive outcomes from numerous animal studies are more readily accepted than results reported in human trials that do not show a clear benefit to the patient. Useful recommendations for conducting experiments in animal models, with increased chances of translatability to humans, have been issued by both the STEPS investigative team and the STAIR committee. However, largely, due to economic factors, these recommendations are largely ignored. Furthermore, one might attribute the overall failures in predicting and subsequently developing effective acute stroke therapies beyond thrombolysis to potential design deficiencies in clinical trials.

[PMID: 38522605 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
Epidemiological evidence has indicated a closely link between PM0.1 exposure and the incidence rate of cardiovascular diseases. This study explores the underlying communication roles of platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) heterogeneous subpopulations in cardiovascular injury. PEVs and PMEVs which were extracted from platelet-rich plasma (PRP) un-exposure or exposure to PM0.1 by TIM4 affinity beads. By optimizing separation conditions, replacing pipelines, and resetting injection procedures, Asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) was employed to separate, purify, characterize, and enrich PEVs and PMEVs heterogeneous subpopulations (small PEVs, PEVs-S/PMEVs-S: <100 nm; medium PEVs, PEVs-M/PMEVs-M: 100-200 nm; and large PEVs, PEVs-L/PMEVs-L: >200 nm). The results showed that the cargoes of PMEVs heterogeneous subpopulations which were released by PRP stimulated by PM0.1 were changed obviously. Moreover, compared with PEVs, PMEVs can lead to a decrease in the survival rate of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs). In PMEVs-S subpopulations, the alterations of lipids associated with membrane fusion and cell signaling transport (such as PC, Cer), as well as miRNAs related to inflammation, angiogenesis, and migration (miR-223, miR-22, miR-126, and miR-150), are similar to those in PMEVs-M subpopulations but distinct from PMEVs-L subpopulations. This study revealed the diverse communication mechanisms underlying PM0.1-induced cardiovascular injury, thereby offering potential avenues for the development of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
The inflammatory damage caused by thrombus formation and dissolution can increase the risk of thrombotic complications on top of cell death and organ dysfunction caused by thrombus itself. Therefore, a rapid and precise thrombolytic therapy strategy is in urgent need to effectively dissolve thrombus and resist oxidation simultaneously. In this study, Ce-UiO-66, a cerium-based metal-organic framework (Ce-MOF) with reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging properties, encapsulated by low-immunogenic mesenchymal stem cell membrane with inflammation-targeting properties, is used to construct a targeted nanomedicine Ce-UiO-CM. Ce-UiO-CM is applied in combination with external ultrasound stimulation for thrombolytic therapy in rat femoral artery. Ce-UiO-66 has abundant Ce (III)/Ce (IV) coupling sites that react with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce oxygen, exhibiting catalase (CAT) activity. The multi-cavity structure of Ce-UiO-66 can generate electron holes, and its pore channels can act as micro-reactors to further enhance its ROS scavenging capacity. Additionally, the porous structure of Ce-UiO-66 and the oxygen produced by its reaction with H2O2 may enhance the cavitation effects of ultrasound, thereby improving thrombolysis efficacy.

[PMID: 38675426 PMCID: PMC11053970 DOI: 10.3390/ph17040466] [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: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Cerebral malaria (CM), a severe neurological pathology caused by Plasmodium falciparum infection, poses a significant global health threat and has a high mortality rate. Conventional therapeutics cannot cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) efficiently. Therefore, finding effective treatments remains challenging. The novelty of the treatment proposed in this study lies in the feasibility of intranasal (IN) delivery of the nanostructured lipid carrier system (NLC) combining microRNA (miRNA) and artemether (ARM) to enhance bioavailability and brain targeting. The rational use of NLCs and RNA-targeted therapeutics could revolutionize the treatment strategies for CM management. This study can potentially address the challenges in treating CM, allowing drugs to pass through the BBB. The NLC formulation was developed by a hot-melt homogenization process utilizing 3% (w/w) precirol and 1.5% (w/v) labrasol, resulting in particles with a size of 94.39 nm. This indicates an effective delivery to the brain via IN administration. The results further suggest the effective intracellular delivery of encapsulated miRNAs in the NLCs. Investigations with an experimental cerebral malaria mouse model showed a reduction in parasitaemia, preservation of BBB integrity, and reduced cerebral haemorrhages with the ARM+ miRNA-NLC treatment. Additionally, molecular discoveries revealed that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 2 (NOX2) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were reduced in the treated groups in comparison to the CM group. These results support the use of nanocarriers for IN administration, offering a viable method for mitigating CM through the increased bioavailability of therapeutics. Our findings have far-reaching implications for future research and personalized therapy.

Abstract
The association between gut microbiota and the development of heart failure has become a research hotspot in recent years and the impact of gut microbiota on heart failure has attracted growing interest. From 2006 to 2021, the global research on gut microbiota and heart failure has gradually expanded, indicating a developed and promising research field. There were 40 countries, 196 institutions, and 257 authors involved in the publication on the relationship between gut microbiota and heart failure, respectively. In patients with heart failure, inadequate visceral perfusion leads to ischemia and intestinal edema, which compromise the gut barrier. This subsequently results in the translocation of bacteria and bacterial metabolites into the circulatory system and causes local and systemic inflammatory responses. The gastrointestinal tract contains the largest number of immune cells in the human body and gut microbiota play important roles in the immune system by promoting immune tolerance to symbiotic bacteria. Studies have shown that probiotics can act on gut microorganisms, thereby increasing choline metabolism and reducing plasma TMA and TMAO concentrations, thus inhibiting the development of heart failure. Meanwhile, probiotics induce the production of inflammatory suppressors to maintain gut immune stability and inhibit the progression of heart failure by reducing ventricular remodeling. Here, we review the current understanding of gut microbiota-driven immune dysfunction in experimental and clinical heart failure, as well as the therapeutic interventions that could be used to address these issues.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic hepatic disorder on a global scale. Atherosclerosis (AS), a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases, stands as the primary contributor to mortality among patients diagnosed with NAFLD. However, the precise etiology by which NAFLD causes AS remains unclear. Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles secreted by cells, and are considered to participate in complex biological processes by promoting cell-to-cell and organ-to-organ communications. As vesicles containing protein, mRNA, non-coding RNA and other bioactive molecules, exosomes can participate in the development of NAFLD and AS respectively. Recently, studies have shown that NAFLD can also promote the development of AS via secreting exosomes. Herein, we summarized the recent advantages of exosomes in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and AS, and highlighted the role of exosomes in mediating the information exchange between NAFLD and AS. Further, we discussed how exosomes play a prominent role in enabling information exchange among diverse organs, delving into a novel avenue for investigating the link between diseases and their associated complications. The future directions and emerging challenges are also listed regarding the exosome-based therapeutic strategies for AS under NAFLD conditions.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, causing a major burden on patients as well as families and society. Exosomes generally refer to various lipid bilayer microvesicles originating from different cells that deliver various bioactive molecules to the recipient cells, exerting biological effects in cellular communication and thereby changing the internal environment of the body. The mechanisms of correlation between exosomes and the disease process of atherosclerosis have been recently clarified. Exosomes are rich in nucleic acid molecules and proteins. For example, the exosome miRNAs reportedly play important roles in the progression of atherosclerotic diseases. In this review, we focus on the composition of exosomes, the mechanism of their biogenesis and release, and the commonly used methods for exosome extraction. By summarizing the latest research progress on exosomes and atherosclerosis, we can explore the advances in the roles of exosomes in atherosclerosis to provide new ideas and targets for atherosclerosis prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Abstract
Advances in stem cell (SC) technology allow the generation of cellular models that recapitulate the histological, molecular and physiological properties of humanized in vitro three dimensional (3D) models, as well as production of cell-derived therapeutics such as extracellular vesicles (EVs). Improvements in organ-on-chip platforms and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) derived neural/glial cells provide unprecedented systems for studying 3D personalized neural tissue modeling with easy setup and fast output. Here, we highlight the key points in differentiation procedures for neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia from single origin hiPSCs. Additionally, we present a well-defined humanized neural tissue-on-chip model composed of differentiated cells with the same genetic backgrounds, as well as the therapeutic potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles to propose a novel treatment for neuroinflammation derived diseases. Around 100 nm CD9 + EVs promote a more anti-inflammatory and pro-remodeling of cell-cell interaction cytokine responses on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced neuroinflammation in neural tissue-on-chip model which is ideal for modeling authentic neural-glial patho-physiology.

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
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a multifactorial disease, and pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious condition characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling leading with increased pulmonary vascular resistance, ultimately leading to right heart failure and death. Although VTE and PH have distinct primary etiologies, they share some pathophysiologic similarities such as dysfunctional vasculature and thrombosis. In both conditions there is solid evidence that EVs derived from a variety of cell types including platelets, monocytes, endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells contribute to vascular endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, thrombosis, cellular activation and communications. However, the roles and importance of EVs substantially differ between studies depending on experimental conditions and parent cell origins of EVs that modify the nature of their cargo. Numerous studies have confirmed that EVs contribute to the pathophysiology of VTE and PH and increased levels of various EVs in relation with the severity of VTE and PH, confirming its potential pathophysiological role and its utility as a biomarker of disease severity and as potential therapeutic targets.

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
BACKGROUND The tumour microenvironment (TME) is a specialised niche involving intercellular communication among cancer cells and various host cells. Among the host cells, the quantity and quality of immune cells within the TME play essential roles in cancer development and management. The immunologically suppressive, so-called 'cold' TME established by a series of tumour-host interactions, including generating immunosuppressive cytokines and recruiting regulatory host immune cells, is associated with resistance to therapies and worse clinical outcomes. MAIN BODY Various therapeutic approaches have been used to target the cold TME, including immune checkpoint blockade therapy and adoptive T-cell transfer. A promising, less explored therapeutic strategy involves targeting TME-associated exosomes. Exosomes are nanometer-sized, extracellular vesicles that transfer material from donor to recipient cells. These particles can reprogram the recipient cells and modulate the TME. In particular, exosomes from haematopoietic cells are known to promote or suppress cancer progression under specific conditions. Understanding the effects of haematopoietic cell-secreted exosomes may foster the development of therapeutic exosomes (tExos) for personalised cancer treatment. However, the development of exosome-based therapies has unique challenges, including scalable production, purification, storage and delivery of exosomes and controlling batch variations. Clinical trials are being conducted to verify the safety, feasibility, availability and efficacy of tExos. CONCLUSION This review summarises our understanding of how haematopoietic cell-secreted exosomes regulate the TME and antitumour immunity and highlights present challenges and solutions for haematopoietic cell-derived exosome-based therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent chronic degenerative joint disease among the aged population. However, current treatments for OA are limited to alleviating symptoms, with no therapies that prevent and regenerate cartilage deterioration. PURPOSE To assess the effects of platelet-derived exosomes (Plt-exos) on OA and then to explore the potential molecular mechanism. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Exosomes derived from human apheresis platelets were isolated and identified. The effects of Plt-exos in protecting chondrocytes under interleukin 1β stimulation were evaluated by analyzing the proliferation and migration in human primary chondrocytes. RNA sequencing was later performed in vitro for primary chondrocytes to reveal the underlying mechanisms of Plt-exo treatment. Anterior cruciate ligament transection was used to construct an OA mice model, and intra-articular injection of Plt-exos was given once a week for 6 weeks. Mice were sacrificed 4 weeks after the last injection. Histologic and immunohistochemistry staining and micro-computed tomography analysis were performed to assess alterations of articular cartilage and subchondral bone. RESULTS Plt-exos significantly promoted proliferation and migration of chondrocytes within a dose-dependent manner, as well as dramatically promoted cartilage regeneration and attenuated abnormal tibial subchondral bone remodeling, thus slowing the progression of OA. After being treated with Plt-exos, 1797 genes were differentially expressed in chondrocytes (923 upregulated and 874 downregulated genes). Functional enrichment results and hub genes were mainly involved in anti-inflammatory effects, mediating cell adhesion, stimulating cartilage repair, promoting anabolism, and inhibiting catabolism. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that Plt-exos promoted chondrocyte proliferation and migration in vitro, as well as attenuated cartilage degeneration, improved the microarchitecture of subchondral bone, and retarded OA progression in vivo. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Our study illustrated that the administered Plt-exos could alleviate knee OA by attenuating cartilage degeneration and subchondral bone loss, possibly serving as a novel promising treatment for OA in the future.

Abstract
Platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (P-EVs), as the most abundant vesicles in blood, have been proven to play cardinal roles in cardiovascular injury. RNAs (especially miRNAs) carried by P-EVs can be transferred to the receptor, which plays a critical role in regulating vascular endothelial function. PM2.5 is one of the most well-known risk factors that cause cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to explore whether exposure to PM2.5 would alter the gene expression profile of P-EVs, and to further elucidate the role of RNAs (especially miRNAs) carried by P-EVs in cardiovascular injury induced by PM2.5 exposure. P-EVs were isolated from the platelet-rich plasma which was exposed and unexposed to PM2.5, and the differentially expressed target genes were evaluated using whole-transcriptome gene sequencing. Rats were treated with P-EVs under different exposure conditions (a protein concentration of 50 µg/mL) and an equal volume of normal saline. The pathological damage of the thoracic aorta and cardiac tissue was evaluated and the coagulation function of the rats was detected. The differentially expressed genes were shown to be mainly concentrated in inflammation, angiogenesis, and apoptosis-related pathways. Moreover, P-EVs extracted from PM2.5-exposed plasma had the potential to trigger an inflammatory response, impair vascular endothelial function, disrupt the normal coagulation process, and promote a prothrombotic state. Our study indicated that PM2.5 induces cardiovascular injury in rats by interfering with the gene expression of P-EVs. It will provide new targets for studying the mechanism involved in PM2.5-induced cardiovascular injury.

Abstract
For the past two decades since their discovery, scientists have linked microRNAs (miRNAs) to posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression in critical cardiac physiological and pathological processes. Multiple non-coding RNA species regulate cardiac muscle phenotypes to stabilize cardiac homeostasis. Different cardiac pathological conditions, including arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, and hypertrophy, are modulated by non-coding RNAs in response to stress or other pathological conditions. Besides, miRNAs are implicated in several modulatory signaling pathways of cardiovascular disorders including mitogen-activated protein kinase, nuclear factor kappa beta, protein kinase B (AKT), NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3), Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs), Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (Apaf-1)/caspases. This review highlights the potential role of miRNAs as therapeutic targets and updates our understanding of their roles in the processes underlying pathogenic phenotypes of cardiac muscle.

Abstract
Embryonic definitive hematopoiesis generates hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) that are essential for the establishment and maintenance of the adult blood system. This process requires the specification of a subset of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) to become hemogenic ECs and to have subsequent endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT), and the underlying mechanisms are largely undefined. We identified microRNA (miR)-223 as a negative regulator of murine hemogenic EC specification and EHT. Loss of miR-223 leads to increased formation of hemogenic ECs and HSPCs, which is associated with increased retinoic acid signaling, which we previously showed as promoting hemogenic EC specification. Additionally, loss of miR-223 leads to the generation of myeloid-biased hemogenic ECs and HSPCs, which results in an increased proportion of myeloid cells throughout embryonic and postnatal life. Our findings identify a negative regulator of hemogenic EC specification and highlight the importance of this process for the establishment of the adult blood system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs are paramount in post transcriptional gene regulation. We investigated platelet miRNAs in patients with CAD and examined potential associations with course of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%). MATERIALS AND METHODS In a first cohort, 62 MiRNAs were measured in platelets of 100 patients suffering from CAD. Expression profiles of individuals with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) and MI were compared (CCS n = 67, MI n = 33). Also, associations between miRNA profiles and change in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%) were investigated. In a second cohort of patients suffering from CCS (n = 10), MI (n = 11) or no CAD (n = 13), we measured miRNA expression in platelets, platelet supernatant and serum. This was carried out before and after in vitro platelet activation with CRP. RESULTS Platelet miRNAs 103a-3p and 155-5p demonstrated higher expression in patients with CCS then in individuals with MI. Furthermore, multiple miRNAs were significantly higher expressed in matched controls compared to MI patients. 8 miRNAs showed higher expression in patients with improving LVEF% after a 1-year follow-up. In our second cohort, we found higher concentrations of 6 miRNAs in the platelet supernatant of patients with CCS, MI and no CAD after in vitro platelet activation. Most of these miRNAs showed a higher abundance in serum of MI patients as compared to CCS. CONCLUSION Several miRNAs show higher expression in platelets of CCS compared to MI. After in vitro platelet activation, a release of multiple miRNAs out of the thrombocyte was observed. Furthermore, upregulation of serum miRNAs was found in MI patients when compared to CCS patients and individuals without CAD. Hence, platelets could present a source of upregulated circulating miRNAs in MI and additionally affect course of LVEF%.

Abstract
Small noncoding RNAs, known as microRNAs (miRNAs), are vital for the regulation of diverse biological processes. miR-223, an evolutionarily conserved anti-inflammatory miRNA expressed in cells of the myeloid lineage, has been implicated in the regulation of monocyte-macrophage differentiation, proinflammatory responses, and the recruitment of neutrophils. The biological functions of this gene are regulated by its expression levels in cells or tissues. In this review, we first outline the regulatory role of miR-223 in granulocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, epithelial cells and dendritic cells (DCs). Then, we summarize the possible role of miR-223 in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute lung injury (ALI), coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and other pulmonary inflammatory diseases to better understand the molecular regulatory networks in pulmonary inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Exosomes are nanovesicles with a wide range of chemical compositions used in many different applications. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSCs-EXOs) are spherical vesicles that have been shown to mediate tissue regeneration in a variety of diseases, including neurological, autoimmune and inflammatory, cancer, ischemic heart disease, lung injury, and liver fibrosis. They can modulate the immune response by interacting with immune effector cells due to the presence of anti-inflammatory compounds and are involved in intercellular communication through various types of cargo. MSCs-EXOs exhibit cytokine storm-mitigating properties in response to COVID-19. This review discussed the potential function of MSCs-EXOs in a variety of diseases including neurological, notably epileptic encephalopathy and Parkinson's disease, cancer, angiogenesis, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. We provided an overview of exosome biogenesis and factors that regulate exosome biogenesis. Additionally, we highlight the functions and potential use of MSCs-EXOs in the treatment of the inflammatory disease COVID-19. Finally, we covered a strategies and challenges of MSCs-EXOs. Finally, we discuss conclusion and future perspectives of MSCs-EXOs.

Abstract
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) or exosomes are secretory vesicles largely involved in cell-cell communications and found to play a role in development as well as diseases including atherosclerosis. They hold a huge potential for translational research by devising better clinical diagnostics, biomarker discovery, drug delivery, and therapeutic strategies. Variations terms of morphology and distribution are crucial to biological function integrity. Moreover, it is dependent on susceptibility to influential factors of the environment like cell stress, inflammation, and secretion by different cells in subsequent biofluids. We have observed the morphological variations in sEVs or exosomes freshly isolated from patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (AsCVD), in blood plasma, saliva, and urine biofluids compared to healthy controls. High-resolution images were obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for the characterization of sEVs morphology. Western blotting and immuno-TEM gold labeling confirmed the presence of exosome markers. For the first time, we report size and shape variations, which suggest the existence of different functions of sEVs in the disease state. Morphological variations in sEVs were observed significantly in noninvasive AsCVD saliva and urine samples, important to understand the cell behavior and physiological state. These variations will be useful to investigate their possible role in the disease process.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is an LDL-driven and inflammatory disorder of the sub-endothelial space. Available data have proposed that various factors could affect atherosclerosis pathogenesis, including inflammation, oxidation of LDL particles, endothelial dysfunction, foam cell formation, proliferation, and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In addition, other research indicated that the crosstalk among atherosclerosis-induced cells is a crucial factor in modulating atherosclerosis. Extracellular vesicles arenanoparticleswith sizes ranging from 30-150 nm, playing an important role in various pathophysiological situations. Exosomes, asa form of extracellular vesicles, could affect the crosstalk between sub-endothelial cells. They can transport bioactive components like proteins, lipids, RNA, and DNA. As an important cargo in exosomes, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) including microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and circular RNAs could modulate cellular functions by regulating the transcription, epigenetic alteration, and translation. The current work aimed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms of exosomal ncRNA as well as their potential as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Clinical evidence affirms physical exercise is effective in preventive and rehabilitation approaches for ischemic stroke. This sustainable efficacy is independent of cardiovascular risk factors and associates substantial reprogramming in circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs). The intricate journey of pluripotent exercise-induced EVs from parental cells to the whole-body and infiltration to cerebrovascular entity offers several mechanisms to reduce stroke incidence and injury or accelerate the subsequent recovery. This review delineates the potential roles of EVs as prospective effectors of exercise. The candidate miRNA and peptide cargo of exercise-induced EVs with both atheroprotective and neuroprotective characteristics are discussed, along with their presumed targets and pathway interactions. The existing literature provides solid ground to hypothesize that the rich vesicles link exercise to stroke prevention and rehabilitation. However, there are several open questions about the exercise stressors which may optimally regulate EVs kinetic and boost brain mitochondrial adaptations. This review represents a novel perspective on achieving brain fitness against stroke through transplantation of multi-potential EVs generated by multi-parental cells, which is exceptionally reachable in an exercising body.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent stem cells of mesodermal origin with the ability of self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation, which have all the common characteristics of stem cells and the ability to differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts, neuron-like cells and other cells. Stem cell derivatives are extracellular vesicles(EVs) released from mesenchymal stem cells that are involved in the process of body’s immune response, antigen presentation, cell differentiation, and anti-inflammatory. EVs are further divided into ectosomes and exosomes are widely used in degenerative diseases, cancer, and inflammatory diseases due to their parental cell characteristics. However, most diseases are closely related to inflammation, and exosomes can mitigate the damage caused by inflammation in terms of suppressing the inflammatory response, anti-apoptosis and promoting tissue repair. Stem cell-derived exosomes have become an emerging modality for cell-free therapy because of their high safety and ease of preservation and transportation through intercellular communication. In this review, we highlight the characteristics and functions of MSCs-derived exosomes and discuss the regulatory mechanisms of MSCs-derived exosomes in inflammatory diseases and their potential applications in clinical diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The repair of articular cartilage defects has always been a difficult problem. We aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of intra-articular injection of platelet-rich plasma (RPR) and PRP-derived exosomes (PRP-Exos) on cartilage defects in rat knee joints and then provide experience for the use of PRP-exos in cartilage defect repair. METHODS Rat abdominal aortic blood was collected, and PRP was extracted by two-step centrifugation. PRP-exos were obtained by kit extraction, and PRP-exos were identified by various methods. After the rats were anesthetized, a cartilage defect subchondral bone was created at the proximal end of the origin of the femoral cruciate ligament with a drill. SD rats were divided into 4 groups, including PRP group, 50 μg/ml PRP-exos group, 5 μg/ml PRP-exos group, and control group. One week after the operation, 50 μg/ml PRP, 50 μg/ml PRP-exos, 5 μg/ml PRP-exos and normal saline were injected into the knee joint cavity of rats in each group, once a week. A total of two injections were given. On the 5th and 10th week after drug injection, the serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) were detected by each treatment method, respectively. The rats were killed at the 5th and 10th weeks, respectively, and the cartilage defect repair was observed and scored. The defect repair tissue sections were used for HE staining and type II collagen immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS The histological results showed that both PRP-exos and PRP could promote cartilage defect repair and type II collagen formation, and the promoting effect of PRP-exos was significantly better than that of PRP. In addition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results showed that compared with PRP, PRP-exos could significantly increase serum TIMP-1 and decrease serum MMP-3 in rats. And the promoting effect of PRP-exos was concentration dependent. CONCLUSION Intra-articular injection of PRP-exos and PRP can promote the repair of articular cartilage defects, and the therapeutic effect of PRP-exos is better than the same concentration of PRP. PRP-exos are expected to be an effective treatment for cartilage repair and regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial cell death is the hallmark of myocardial infarction. In the process of myocardial injury, platelets contribute to the pathogenesis by triggering intense inflammatory responses. Yet, it is still unclear if platelets regulate cardiomyocyte death directly, thereby exacerbating myocardial injury in myocardial infarction. METHODS We describe a mechanism underlying the correlative association between platelets accumulation and myocardial cell death by using myocardial infarction mouse model and patient specimens. RESULTS Myocardial infarction induces platelets internalization, resulting in the release of miR-223-3p, a platelet-enriched miRNA. By targeting the ACSL3, miR-223-3p delivered by internalized platelets cause the reduction of stearic acid-phosphatidylcholine in cardiomyocytes. The presence of stearic acid-phosphatidylcholine protects cardiomyocytes against ferroptosis. CONCLUSIONS Our work reveals a novel mechanism of platelet-mediated myocardial injury, highlighting antiplatelet therapies could potentially represent a multimechanism treatment of myocardial infarction, and implying ferroptosis being considered as novel target for therapeutics.

[PMID: 36768905 PMCID: PMC9916911 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) is a type of tissue and organ dysregulation in sepsis, due mainly to the effect of the inflammation on the coagulation system. Unfortunately, the underlying molecular mechanisms that lead to this disorder are not fully understood. Moreover, current biomarkers for DIC, including biological and clinical parameters, generally provide a poor diagnosis and prognosis. In recent years, non-coding RNAs have been studied as promising and robust biomarkers for a variety of diseases. Thus, their potential in the diagnosis and prognosis of DIC should be further studied. Specifically, the relationship between the coagulation cascade and non-coding RNAs should be established. In this review, microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs are studied in relation to DIC. Specifically, the axis between these non-coding RNAs and the corresponding affected pathway has been identified, including inflammation, alteration of the coagulation cascade, and endothelial damage. The main affected pathway identified is PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis, where several ncRNAs participate in its regulation, including miR-122-5p which is sponged by circ_0005963, ciRS-122, and circPTN, and miR-19a-3p which is modulated by circ_0000096 and circ_0063425. Additionally, both miR-223 and miR-24 were found to affect the PI3K/AKT pathway and were regulated by lncGAS5 and lncKCNQ1OT1, respectively. Thus, this work provides a useful pipeline of inter-connected ncRNAs that future research on their impact on DIC can further explore.

Abstract
Exosomes are lipid bilayer vesicles that contain multiple macromolecules secreted by the parent cells and play a vital role in intercellular communication. In recent years, the function of exosomes in cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) has been intensively studied. Herein, we briefly review the current understanding of exosomes in CVDs. We discuss their role in the pathophysiology of the diseases and the value of the exosomes for clinical applications as biomarkers and potential therapies.

Abstract
Blood platelets are necessary for normal haemostasis but also form life-threatening arterial thrombi when atherosclerotic plaques rupture. Activated platelets release many extracellular vesicles during thrombosis. Phosphatidylserine-exposing microparticles promote coagulation. Small exosomes released during granule secretion deliver cargoes including microRNAs to cells throughout the cardiovascular system. Here, we discuss the mechanisms by which platelets release these extracellular vesicles, together with the possibility of inhibiting this release as an antithrombotic strategy.

Abstract
Background Blood-derived exosomes are involved in developing multiple pathological processes, with platelets being the most well-known source. Related studies have become an area of research with significant value and potential. However, no bibliometric studies in this field have yet been identified. We aimed to analyze the hotspots and academic trends of platelet exosome research through bibliometric visualization to actively grasp the research base in this field and track its developmental orientation. Methods From 2000 to 2022, we screened all relevant publications on platelet exosome-related research from the Web of Science database, generated knowledge maps using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software, and analyzed research trends in the field. Results A total of 722 articles were screened for inclusion based on the search strategy. The number of articles on exosome studies in platelets has expanded vastly. The USA and the People's Republic of China contributed substantially among 69 countries or regions. Amsterdam University and Semmelweis University are the research institutions with the most publications. The most studied and co-cited journals were the International Journal of Molecular Sciences and the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles. We identified 4,598 authors, with Nieuwland Rienk having the highest number of articles and Bruno Stefania having the most cited publications. Keywords of great interest include "thrombosis," "anti-inflammatory," "anti-apoptosis," "angiogenesis," "microparticles," "miRNAs," "stem cells," and "biomarkers," which are key research areas for future development. Conclusion We used bibliometric and visualization methods to identify hotspots and trends in platelet exosome research. Platelet exosome research is widely expanding. Future research will most likely focus on "thrombosis," "anti-inflammatory," "anti-apoptosis," "angiogenesis," "microparticles," "miRNAs," "stem cells," and "biomarkers."

Abstract
About 230 million people worldwide suffer from peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and the prevalence is increasing year by year. Multiple risk factors, including smoking, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension, can contribute to the development of PAD. PAD is typically characterized by intermittent claudication and resting pain, and there is a risk of severe limb ischemia, leading to major adverse limb events, such as amputation. Currently, a major progress in the research field of the pathogenesis of vascular remodeling, including atherosclerosis and neointima hyperplasia has been made. For example, the molecular mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction and smooth muscle phenotype switching have been described. Interestingly, a series of focused studies on fibroblasts of the vessel wall has demonstrated their impact on smooth muscle proliferation and even endothelial function via cell-cell communications. In this review, we aim to focus on the functional changes of peripheral arterial cells and the mechanisms of the pathogenesis of PAD. At the same time, we summarize the progress of the current clinical treatment and potential therapeutic methods for PAD and shine a light on future perspectives.

Abstract
In addition to hemostasis and thrombosis, blood platelets are involved in various processes such as inflammation, infection, immunobiology, cancer metastasis, wound repair and angiogenesis. Platelets' hemostatic and non-hemostatic functions are mediated by the expression of various membrane receptors and the release of proteins, ions and other mediators. Therefore, specific activities of platelets responsible for the non-hemostatic disease are to be inhibited while leaving the platelet's hemostatic function unaffected. Platelets' anti-aggregatory property has been used as a primary criterion for antiplatelet drugs/bioactives; however, their non-hemostatic activities are not well known. This review describes the hemostatic and non-hemostatic function of human blood platelets and the modulatory effects of bioactive food components. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: In this review, we have discussed the antiplatelet effects of several food components. These bioactive compounds inhibit both hemostatic and non-hemostatic pathways involving blood platelet. Platelets have emerged as critical biological factors of normal and pathologic vascular healing and other diseases such as cancers and inflammatory and immune disorders. The challenge for therapeutic intervention in these disorders will be to find drugs and bioactive compounds that preferentially block specific sites implicated in emerging roles of platelets' complicated contribution to inflammation, tumour growth, or other disorders while leaving at least some of their hemostatic function intact.

Abstract
AbstractBased on clinical observations, stroke is touted as one of the specific pathological conditions, affecting an individual’s life worldwide. So far, no effective treatment has been introduced to deal with stroke post-complications. Production and release of several neurotrophic factors by different cells exert positive effects on ischemic areas following stroke. As a correlate, basic and clinical studies have focused on the development and discovery of de novo modalities to introduce these factors timely and in appropriate doses into the affected areas. Exosomes (Exo) are non-sized vesicles released from many cells during pathological and physiological conditions and participate in intercellular communication. These particles transfer several arrays of signaling molecules, like several neurotrophic factors into the acceptor cells and induce specific signaling cascades in the favor of cell bioactivity. This review aimed to highlight the emerging role of exosomes as a therapeutic approach in the regeneration of ischemic areas.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by various cell types are heterogeneous in size and composition. Changes in the RNA sets of EVs in biological fluids are considered the basis for the development of new approaches to minimally invasive diagnostics and the therapy of human diseases. In this study, EVs were obtained from the blood of healthy donors by centrifugation, followed by ultracentrifugation. It was shown that EVs consist of several populations including small exosome-like vesicles and larger microvesicle-like particles. The composition of EVs' RNAs was determined. A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells were incubated with EV and the NGS analysis of differentially expressed genes was performed. During the incubation of A549 cells with EVs, the levels of mRNA encoding components for the NF-kB signaling pathway increased, as well as the expression of genes controlled by the NF-kB transcription factor. Overall, our results suggest that components of EVs trigger the NF-kB signaling cascade in A549 cells, leading to the transcription of genes including cytokines, adhesion molecules, cell cycle regulators, and cell survival factors. Our data provide insight into the interaction between blood EVs and human cells and can be used for designing new tools for the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.

Abstract
Abstract
The risk of cardiovascular events caused by acute thrombosis is high, including acute myocardial infarction, acute stroke, acute pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis. In this review, we summarize the roles of extracellular vesicles of different cellular origins in various cardiovascular events associated with acute thrombosis, as described in the current literature, to facilitate the future development of a precise therapy for thrombosis caused by such vesicles. We hope that our review will indicate a new horizon in the field of cardiovascular research with regard to the treatment of acute thrombosis, especially targeting thrombosis caused by extracellular vesicles secreted by individual cells. As more emerging technologies are being developed, new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies related to EVs are expected to be identified for related diseases in the future.

Abstract
Aging is associated with an alteration of intercellular communication. These changes in the extracellular environment contribute to the aging phenotype and have been linked to different aging-related diseases. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are factors that mediate the transmission of signaling molecules between cells. In the aging field, these EVs have been shown to regulate important aging processes, such as oxidative stress or senescence, both in vivo and in vitro. EVs from healthy cells, particularly those coming from stem cells (SCs), have been described as potential effectors of the regenerative potential of SCs. Many studies with different animal models have shown promising results in the field of regenerative medicine. EVs are now viewed as a potential cell-free therapy for tissue damage and several diseases. Here we propose EVs as regulators of the aging process, with an important role in tissue regeneration and a raising therapy for age-related diseases.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS), the main cause of many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), is a progressive inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids, fibrous elements, and calcification in the innermost layers of arteries. The result is the thickening and clogging of these vessel walls. Several cell types are directly involved in the pathological progression of AS. Among them, platelets represent the link between AS, inflammation, and thrombosis. Indeed, besides their pivotal role in hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets are key mediators of inflammation at injury sites, where they act by regulating the function of other blood and vascular cell types, including endothelial cells (ECs), leukocytes, and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In recent years, increasing evidence has pointed to a central role of platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (P-EVs) in the modulation of AS pathogenesis. However, while the role of platelet-derived microparticles (P-MPs) has been significantly investigated in recent years, the same cannot be said for platelet-derived exosomes (P-EXOs). For this reason, this reviews aims at summarizing the isolation methods and biological characteristics of P-EXOs, and at discussing their involvement in intercellular communication in the pathogenesis of AS. Evidence showing how P-EXOs and their cargo can be used as biomarkers for AS is also presented in this review.

Platelet-derived extracellular vesicles encapsulate microRNA-34c-5p to ameliorate inflammatory response of coronary artery endothelial cells via PODXL-mediated P38 MAPK signaling pathway. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2022; 32:2424-2438.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Low-grade chronic inflammation was reported to serve as a distinctive pathophysiologic feature of coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death around the world. Herein, the current study aimed to explore whether and how microRNA-34c-5p (miR-34c-5p), a miRNA enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) originated from the activated platelet (PLT-EVs), affects the inflammation of human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). METHODS AND RESULTS HCAECs were established as an in vitro cell model using oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). miR-34c-5p, an abundant miRNA in PLT-EVs, can be transferred to HCAECs and target PODXL by binding to its 3'UTR. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments of miR-34c-5p and podocalyxin (PODXL) were performed in ox-LDL-induced HCAECs. Subsequently, HCAECs were subjected to co-culture with PLT-EVs, followed by detection of the expression patterns of key pro-inflammatory factors. Either miR-34c-5p mimic or PLT-EVs harboring miR-34c-5p attenuated the ox-LDL-evoked inflammation in HCAECs by suppressing interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). By blocking the P38 MAPK signaling pathway, miR-34c-5p-mediated depletion of PODXL contributed to protection against ox-LDL-induced inflammation. In vitro findings were further validated by findings observed in ApoE knock-out mice. Additionally, miR-34c-5p in PLT-EVs showed an athero-protective role in the murine model. CONCLUSION Altogether, our findings highlighted that miR-34c-5p in PLT-EVs could alleviate inflammation response in HCAECs by targeting PODXL and inactivation of the P38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Intercellular cross talk between cancer cells and stromal and immune cells is essential for tumor progression and metastasis. Extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) are a heterogeneous class of secreted messengers that carry bioactive molecules and that have been shown to be crucial for this cell-cell communication. Here, we highlight the multifaceted roles of EVPs in cancer. Functionally, transfer of EVP cargo between cells influences tumor cell growth and invasion, alters immune cell composition and function, and contributes to stromal cell activation. These EVP-mediated changes impact local tumor progression, foster cultivation of pre-metastatic niches at distant organ-specific sites, and mediate systemic effects of cancer. Furthermore, we discuss how exploiting the highly selective enrichment of molecules within EVPs has profound implications for advancing diagnostic and prognostic biomarker development and for improving therapy delivery in cancer patients. Altogether, these investigations into the role of EVPs in cancer have led to discoveries that hold great promise for improving cancer patient care and outcome.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles are critical mediators of cell communication. They encapsulate a variety of molecular cargo such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids including miRNAs, lncRNAs, circular RNAs, and mRNAs, and through transfer of these molecular signals can alter the metabolic phenotype in recipient cells. Emerging studies show the important role of extracellular vesicle signaling in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases and associated risk factors such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is hyperglycemia that develops during pregnancy and increases the future risk of developing obesity, impaired glucose metabolism, and cardiovascular disease in both the mother and infant. Available evidence shows that changes in maternal metabolism and exposure to the hyperglycemic intrauterine environment can reprogram the fetal genome, leaving metabolic imprints that define life-long health and disease susceptibility. Understanding the factors that contribute to the increased susceptibility to metabolic disorders of children born to GDM mothers is critical for implementation of preventive strategies in GDM. In this review, we discuss the current literature on the fetal programming of cardiovascular diseases in GDM and the impact of extracellular vesicle (EV) signaling in epigenetic programming in cardiovascular disease, to determine the potential link between EV signaling in GDM and the development of cardiovascular disease in infants.
