Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion arrhythmia after cardiac surgery is common and seriously affects quality of life. Remote ischemic preconditioning can reduce the myocardial damage caused by severe ischemia. However, the underlying mechanism is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of exosomes derived from C2C12 mouse myoblasts after hypoxic preconditioning (HP) on ventricular conduction in hypothermic ischemia-reperfusion hearts. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion model rats were established using the Langendorff cardiac perfusion system. Exosomes derived from normoxic (ExoA) and hypoxia-preconditioned (ExoB) C2C12 cells were injected into the jugular vein of the model rats. The time to heartbeat restoration, arrhythmia type and duration, and heart rate were recorded after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. Conduction velocity on the surface of left ventricle was measured using a microelectrode array after 30 min of balanced perfusion, 15 min of reperfusion, and 30 min of reperfusion. Immunohistochemistry and western blotting were performed to determine the distribution and relative expression of connexin 43 (Cx43). ExoB contained more exosomes than ExoA, showing that HP stimulated the release of exosomes. The IR + ExoB group showed faster recovery of ventricular myocardial activity, a lower arrhythmia score, faster conduction velocity, and better electrical conductivity than the IR group. ExoB increased the expression of Cx43 and reduced its lateralization in the ventricular muscle. Our study showed that exosomes induced by hypoxic preconditioning can improve ventricular myocardial conduction and reperfusion arrhythmia in isolated hearts after hypothermic ischemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury in aortocoronary bypass surgery, potentially via extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their micro-RNA content. Clinical data implicate that propofol might inhibit the cardioprotective RIPC effect. This prospective, randomized study investigated the influence of different anesthetic regimes on RIPC efficacy and EV micro-RNA signatures. We also assessed the impact of propofol on cell protection after hypoxic conditioning and EV-mediated RIPC in vitro. H9c2 rat cardiomyoblasts were subjected to hypoxia, with or without propofol, and subsequent simulated ischemia-reperfusion injury. Apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. Blood samples of 64 patients receiving anesthetic maintenance with propofol or isoflurane, along with RIPC or sham procedures, were analyzed, and EVs were enriched using a polymer-based method. Propofol administration corresponded with increased Troponin T levels (4669 ± 435.6 pg/mL), suggesting an inhibition of the cardioprotective RIPC effect. RIPC leads to a notable rise in miR-21 concentrations in the group receiving propofol anesthesia (fold change 7.22 ± 6.6). In vitro experiments showed that apoptosis reduction was compromised with propofol and only occurred in an EV-enriched preconditioning medium, not in an EV-depleted medium. Our study could clinically and experimentally confirm propofol inhibition of RIPC protection. Increased miR-21 expression could provide evidence for a possible inhibitory mechanism.

J Inflamm Res 2024; 17:5543-5553. [PMID: 39185106 PMCID: PMC11344552 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s460928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background We conducted a post-hoc analysis of the RICAMIS trial to investigate the effect of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) on the efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning treatment. Methods In this post-hoc analysis, NLR, PLR, and SII were measured before randomization. Patients were divided into two groups based on their cut-off values: high vs low NLR, high vs low PLR, and high vs low SII groups. Each group was further subdivided into RIC and control groups. The primary endpoint was a poor outcome (mRS 2-6 at 90 days). Differences in the primary endpoint between the RIC and control subgroups were compared, and the interactions of treatment assignment with NLR, PLR, and SII were evaluated. Results A total of 1679 patients were included in the final analysis. Compared with the control group, RIC significantly improved functional outcomes regardless of the inflammation status. The improved probability of poor outcome in the RIC vs control group was numerically greater in the high vs low inflammation group (NLR, 7.8% vs 5.1%; PLR, 7% vs 6.5%; SII, 9% vs 5.3%). However, we did not find an interaction effect of an intervention (RIC or control) with different NLR, PLR, or SII on clinical outcomes (P > 0.05). In addition, the NLR and SII were independently associated with functional outcomes in all patients, regardless of whether they received RIC. Conclusion Inflammation may not affect the efficacy of RIC in patients with acute moderate ischemic stroke, although a lower probability of poor outcome at 90 days was identified in patients with a high vs low inflammatory status.

Abstract
Hypercholesterolemia (HC) induces, propagates and exacerbates cardiovascular diseases via various mechanisms that are yet not properly understood. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in the pathomechanism of these diseases. To understand how circulating or cardiac-derived EVs could affect myocardial functions, we analyzed the metabolomic profile of circulating EVs, and we performed an in-depth analysis of cardiomyocyte (CM)-derived EVs in HC. Circulating EVs were isolated with Vezics technology from male Wistar rats fed with high-cholesterol or control chow. AC16 human CMs were treated with Remembrane HC supplement and EVs were isolated from cell culture supernatant. The biophysical properties and the protein composition of CM EVs were analyzed. THP1-ASC-GFP cells were treated with CM EVs, and monocyte activation was measured. HC diet reduced the amount of certain phosphatidylcholines in circulating EVs, independently of their plasma level. HC treatment significantly increased EV secretion of CMs and greatly modified CM EV proteome, enriching several proteins involved in tissue remodeling. Regardless of the treatment, CM EVs did not induce the activation of THP1 monocytes. In conclusion, HC strongly affects the metabolome of circulating EVs and dysregulates CM EVs, which might contribute to HC-induced cardiac derangements.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) and its associated poor prognosis pose significant risks to human health. Nanomaterials hold great potential for the treatment of MI due to their targeted and controlled release properties, particularly biomimetic nanomaterials. The utilization of biomimetic strategies based on extracellular vesicles (EVs) and cell membranes will serve as the guiding principle for the development of nanomaterial therapy in the future. In this review, we present an overview of research progress on various exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells, cardiomyocytes, or induced pluripotent stem cells in the context of myocardial infarction (MI) therapy. These exosomes, utilized as cell-free therapies, have demonstrated the ability to enhance the efficacy of reducing the size of the infarcted area and preventing ischaemic reperfusion through mechanisms such as oxidative stress reduction, polarization modulation, fibrosis inhibition, and angiogenesis promotion. Moreover, EVs can exert cardioprotective effects by encapsulating therapeutic agents and can be engineered to specifically target the infarcted myocardium. Furthermore, we discuss the use of cell membranes derived from erythrocytes, stem cells, immune cells and platelets to encapsulate nanomaterials. This approach allows the nanomaterials to camouflage themselves as endogenous substances targeting the region affected by MI, thereby minimizing toxicity and improving biocompatibility. In conclusion, biomimetic nano-delivery systems hold promise as a potentially beneficial technology for MI treatment. This review serves as a valuable reference for the application of biomimetic nanomaterials in MI therapy and aims to expedite the translation of NPs-based MI therapeutic strategies into practical clinical applications.

Abstract
RATIONALE Restoration of blood flow after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with inflammation that causes cellular injury. The extent of this reperfusion injury (RI) is associated with the duration of ischemia and adequacy of resuscitation. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) consists of repeated application of non-lethal ischemia then reperfusion to a limb distal to the heart by inflating a blood pressure (BP) cuff. Trials in animal models in cardiac arrest and in humans with acute infarction show RIC reduces RI. OBJECTIVE We sought to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of RIC in patients resuscitated from OHCA and transported to hospital. METHODS This study was conducted under exception from informed consent (EFIC) for emergency research. Eligible subjects were randomized with masked allocation to control (standard care) versus intervention (standard care and RIC). Included were adults with non-traumatic OHCA. The primary outcome was attrition, the proportion of patients enrolled and not on allocated therapy for the study duration. Key secondary outcomes were survival to discharge, neurologic status at discharge, hospital-free survival, and adverse events. Results were summarized descriptively as recommended for pilot studies. RESULTS N = 30 patients were enrolled (n = 14 control, n = 16 intervention). Mean age of enrolled patients was 52.5 ± 16.2 years. Eight (27%) were female gender and 7 (23%) had a shockable first recorded rhythm. 100% of enrolled patients completed their allocated study intervention (i.e., 0% attrition). The RIC group had 7 (44%) survival to discharge and median Rankin score of 6 (IQR 1, 6) at discharge as compared to the standard care group which had 6 (43%) survival to discharge and median Rankin score of 6 (IQR 1.5, 6) at discharge. A single patient (6%) in the intervention group had transient occlusion of their upper extremity intravenous line, which immediately resolved on repositioning of the blood pressure cuff. CONCLUSION Application of RIC to patients resuscitated from CA and transported to an ED is feasible and safe. An adequately powered trial is required to assess whether RIC is effective at decreasing morbidity and mortality after CA.

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
The present review summarizes the beneficial and detrimental roles of reactive oxygen species in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and cardioprotection. In the first part, the continued need for cardioprotection beyond that by rapid reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction is emphasized. Then, pathomechanisms of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion to the myocardium and the coronary circulation and the different modes of cell death in myocardial infarction are characterized. Different mechanical and pharmacological interventions to protect the ischemic/reperfused myocardium in elective percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary artery bypass grafting, in acute myocardial infarction and in cardiotoxicity from cancer therapy are detailed. The second part keeps the focus on ROS providing a comprehensive overview of molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in ischemia/reperfusion injury. Starting from mitochondria as the main sources and targets of ROS in ischemic/reperfused myocardium, a complex network of cellular and extracellular processes is discussed, including relationships with Ca2+ homeostasis, thiol group redox balance, hydrogen sulfide modulation, cross-talk with NAPDH oxidases, exosomes, cytokines and growth factors. While mechanistic insights are needed to improve our current therapeutic approaches, advancements in knowledge of ROS-mediated processes indicate that detrimental facets of oxidative stress are opposed by ROS requirement for physiological and protective reactions. This inevitable contrast is likely to underlie unsuccessful clinical trials and limits the development of novel cardioprotective interventions simply based upon ROS removal.

Exosome-derived circ_0001785 delays atherogenesis through the ceRNA network mechanism of miR-513a-5p/TGFBR3. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:362. [PMID: 37794449 PMCID: PMC10548746 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-02076-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Endothelial cell dysfunction is a major cause of early atherosclerosis. Although the role of extracellular vesicles in stabilizing atherosclerotic plaques is well established, the effect of circulating exosomes on plaque formation is still unknown. Here, we explored the effect of exosomes on atherosclerosis based on the function that exosomes can act on intercellular communication. PATIENTS AND METHODS We extracted serum exosomes from the blood of CHD patients (CHD-Exo) and healthy individuals (Con-Exo). The obtained exosomes were co-cultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. In addition, we determined that circ_0001785 functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNAs) in coronary artery disease by dual luciferase reporter gene analysis. The protective effect of circ_0001785 against endothelial cell injury was also verified using over-expression lentiviral transfection functional assays. In vivo experiments, we injected over-expressed circ_0001785 lentivirus into the tail vein of mice to observe its therapeutic effect on a mouse model of atherosclerosis. RESULTS The vitro co-cultured results showed that the amount of plasma-derived exosomes have an increase in patients with coronary artery disease, and the inflammation and apoptosis of endothelial cells were exacerbated. Over-expression of circ_0001785 reduced endothelial cell injury through the ceRNA network pathway of miR-513a-5p/TGFBR3. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction identified that the expressed amount of circ_0001785 was reduced in the circulating peripheral blood of CHD patients and increased within human and mouse atherosclerotic plaque tissue. The results of in vivo experiments showed that circ_0001785 reduced aortic endothelial cell injury and the formation of intraplaque neo-vascularization, and enhanced left ventricular diastolic function, thereby delaying the development of atherosclerosis in mice. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated a new biomarker, exosome-derived circ_0001785, for atherogenesis, which can reduce endothelial cell injury and thus delay atherogenesis through the miR-513a-5p/TGFBR3 ceRNA network mechanism, providing an exosome-based intervention strategy for atherosclerosis.

[PMID: 37437517 DOI: 10.1016/j.thromres.2023.06.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023]
Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), the joint result of ischemic injury and reperfusion injury, is associated with poor outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that activated platelets directly contribute to the pathogenesis of MIRI through participating in the formation of microthrombi, interaction with leukocytes, secretion of active substances, constriction of microvasculature, and activation of spinal afferent nerves. The molecular mechanisms underlying the above detrimental effects of activated platelets include the homotypic and heterotypic interactions through surface receptors, transduction of intracellular signals, and secretion of active substances. Revealing the roles of platelet activation in MIRI and the associated mechanisms would provide potential targets/strategies for the clinical evaluation and treatment of MIRI. Further studies are needed to characterize the temporal (ischemia phase vs. reperfusion phase) and spatial (systemic vs. local) distributions of platelet activation in MIRI by multi-omics strategies. To improve the likelihood of translating novel cardioprotective interventions into clinical practice, basic researches maximally replicating the complexity of clinical scenarios would be necessary.

Abstract
Cardiosomes, exosomes released in cardiospheres by cardiomyocytes and progenitor cells, communicate locally and at a distance from different tissues, promoting beneficial cellular changes. For example, miRNAs have emerged as regulators of intercellular communication via transport by extracellular vesicles in general and cardiosomes specifically. Although cardiosomes are considered biomarkers owing to their immense biomedical application in various clinical fields, their role in cardiovascular diseases remains unclear. This mini-review examines the experimental and clinical evidence for cardiosomes as non-invasive diagnostic, treatment and prognostic tools in acute myocardial infarction, the novelty of which is often lost in medical practice. In addition, we discuss the potential role of cardiosomes in physiologic mechanisms and cell signaling in cardiac conditioning strategies against reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Small extracellular vesicles are nanosized vesicles (30–200 nm) that can ferry proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids between cells and therefore, have significant potential as biomarkers, drug delivery tools or therapeutic agents. SEVs of endothelial origin have been shown to -among other functions-reduce in vitro ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in cardiomyocytes, but whether a pro-inflammatory state of the endothelium impairs the functionality of these SEVs remains to be elucidated. To test this, human umbilical vein endothelial cells cells were treated with TNF-α 10 ng/mL and the expression of the pro-inflammatory parameters VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and eNOS were determined by Western blot. SEVs were isolated from endothelial cells treated with or without TNF-α 10 ng/mL using size exclusion chromatography. The size and concentration of SEVs was measured by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis. The expression of the surface marker CD81 was determined by immunoassay, whereas their morphology was assessed by electron microscopy. The function of endothelial SEVs was assessed by evaluating their cardioprotective effect in an ex vivo model of global I/R using isolated hearts from adult C57BL/6 mice. Treatment of HUVECs with TNF-α induced the expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1, whereas eNOS levels were decreased. TNF-α did not affect the production, size, morphology, or expression of CD81. SEVs significantly reduced the infarct size as compared with untreated mice hearts, but SEVs isolated from TNF-α treated cells were unable to achieve this effect. Therefore, a pro-inflammatory state induced by TNF-α does not alter the production of endothelial SEVs but impairs their function in the setting of I/R injury.

Pathways for Cardioprotection in Perspective: Focus on Remote Conditioning and Extracellular Vesicles. BIOLOGY 2023; 12:biology12020308.

Abstract
Despite the development of cutting-edge treatments, coronary artery disease (CAD) morbidity and mortality rates remain present at high levels. Therefore, new cardioprotective approaches are crucial to improve the health of patients. To date, experimental investigations of acute ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) have generally demonstrated the efficacy of local ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning cardioprotection techniques as well as of remote conditioning. However, application in clinical settings is still highly controversial and debated. Currently, remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) seems to be the most promising method for heart repair. Protective factors are released into the bloodstream, and protection can be transferred within and across species. For a long time, the cross-function and cross-transmission mechanisms of cardioprotection were largely unknown. Recently, it has been shown that small, anuclear, bilayered lipid membrane particles, known as extracellular vesicles (EVs), are the drivers of signal transduction in cardiac IRI and RIC. EVs are related to the pathophysiological processes of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), according to compelling evidence. In this review, we will first review the current state of knowledge on myocardial IRI and cardioprotective strategies explored over the past 37 years. Second, we will briefly discuss the role of EVs in CVD and the most recent improvements on EVs as prognostic biomarkers, diagnostic, and therapeutic agents. We will discuss how EVs can be used as a new drug delivery mechanism and how they can be employed in cardiac treatment, also from a perspective of overcoming the impasse that results from neglecting confounding factors.

Exosomal HSP90 induced by remote ischemic preconditioning alleviates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by inhibiting complement activation and inflammation. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:58. [PMID: 36726083 PMCID: PMC9890892 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03043-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The activation of the complement system and subsequent inflammatory responses are important features of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles that play a significant role in remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) cardioprotection. The present study aimed to test whether RIPC-induced plasma exosomes (RIPC-Exo) exert protective effects on myocardial I/R injury by inhibiting complement activation and inflammation and whether exosomal heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) mediates these effects. METHODS Rat hearts underwent 30 min of coronary ligation followed by 2 h of reperfusion. Plasma exosomes were isolated from RIPC rats and injected into the infarcted myocardium immediately after ligation. Sixty rats were randomly divided into Sham, I/R, I/R + RIPC-Exo (50 µg/µl), and RIPC-Exo + GA (geldanamycin, 1 mg/kg, administration 30 min before ligation) groups. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis, the release of myocardial markers (LDH, cTnI and CK-MB), infarct size, the expression of HSP90, complement component (C)3, C5a, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and intercellular adhesion molecule -1 (ICAM-1) were assessed. RESULTS RIPC-Exo treatment significantly reduced I/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, the release of myocardial markers (LDH, cTnI and CK-MB) and infarct size. These beneficial effects were accompanied by decreased C3 and C5a expression, decreased inflammatory factor levels (IL-1β, TNF-α, and ICAM-1), decreased JNK and Bax, and increased Bcl-2 expression. Meanwhile, the expression of HSP90 in the exosomes from rat plasma increased significantly after RIPC. However, treatment with HSP90 inhibitor GA significantly reversed the cardioprotection of RIPC-Exo, as well as activated complement component, JNK signalling and inflammation, indicating that HSP90 in exosomes isolated from the RIPC was important in mediating the cardioprotective effects during I/R. CONCLUSION Exosomal HSP90 induced by RIPC played a significant role in cardioprotection against I/R injury, and its function was in part linked to the inhibition of the complement system, JNK signalling and local and systemic inflammation, ultimately alleviating I/R-induced myocardial injury and apoptosis by the upregulation of Bcl-2 expression and the downregulation of proapoptotic Bax.

Abstract
The successful use of exosomes in therapy after myocardial infarction depends on an improved understanding of their role in cardiac signaling and regulation. Here, we report that exosomes circulating after myocardial infarction (MI) carry LncRNA TUG1 which downregulates angiogenesis by disablement of the HIF-1α/VEGF-α axis and that this effect can be counterbalanced by remote ischemic conditioning (RIC). Rats with MI induced through left coronary artery ligation without (MI model) and with reperfusion (ischemia/reperfusion I/R model) were randomized to RIC, or MI (I/R) or sham-operated (SO) control. Data from one cohort study and one randomized-controlled trial of humans with MI were also utilized, the former involving patients who had not received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the latter patients with PCI. Exosome concentrations did not differ between intervention groups (RIC vs. control) in rats (MI and I/R model) as well as humans (with and without PCI). However, MI and I/R exosomes attenuated HIF-1α, VEGF-α, and endothelial function. LncRNA TUG1 was increased in MI and I/R exosomes, but decreased in SO and RIC exosomes. HIF-1α expression was downregulated with MI and I/R exosomes but increased with RIC exosomes. Exosome inhibition suppressed HIF-1α upregulation through RIC exosomes. VEGF-α was identified as HIF-1α-regulated target gene. Knockdown of HIF-1α decreased VEGF-α, endothelial cell capability, and tube formation. Overexpression of HIF-1α exerted opposite effects. Transfection and co-transfection of 293 T cells with exosome-inhibitor GW4869 and HIF-1α inhibitor si-HIF-1α confirmed the exosomal-LncRNA TUG1/HIF-1α/VEGF-α pathway. LncRNA TUG1 is a potential therapeutic target after MI with or without reperfusion through PCI.

Interaction of Cardiovascular Nonmodifiable Risk Factors, Comorbidities and Comedications With Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury and Cardioprotection by Pharmacological Treatments and Ischemic Conditioning. Pharmacol Rev 2023; 75:159-216.

Abstract
Preconditioning, postconditioning, and remote conditioning of the myocardium enhance the ability of the heart to withstand a prolonged ischemia/reperfusion insult and the potential to provide novel therapeutic paradigms for cardioprotection. While many signaling pathways leading to endogenous cardioprotection have been elucidated in experimental studies over the past 30 years, no cardioprotective drug is on the market yet for that indication. One likely major reason for this failure to translate cardioprotection into patient benefit is the lack of rigorous and systematic preclinical evaluation of promising cardioprotective therapies prior to their clinical evaluation, since ischemic heart disease in humans is a complex disorder caused by or associated with cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities. These risk factors and comorbidities induce fundamental alterations in cellular signaling cascades that affect the development of ischemia/reperfusion injury and responses to cardioprotective interventions. Moreover, some of the medications used to treat these comorbidities may impact on cardioprotection by again modifying cellular signaling pathways. The aim of this article is to review the recent evidence that cardiovascular risk factors as well as comorbidities and their medications may modify the response to cardioprotective interventions. We emphasize the critical need for taking into account the presence of cardiovascular risk factors as well as comorbidities and their concomitant medications when designing preclinical studies for the identification and validation of cardioprotective drug targets and clinical studies. This will hopefully maximize the success rate of developing rational approaches to effective cardioprotective therapies for the majority of patients with multiple comorbidities. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Ischemic heart disease is a major cause of mortality; however, there are still no cardioprotective drugs on the market. Most studies on cardioprotection have been undertaken in animal models of ischemia/reperfusion in the absence of comorbidities; however, ischemic heart disease develops with other systemic disorders (e.g., hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, atherosclerosis). Here we focus on the preclinical and clinical evidence showing how these comorbidities and their routine medications affect ischemia/reperfusion injury and interfere with cardioprotective strategies.

Br J Anaesth 2023; 130:29-38. [PMID: 36347723 PMCID: PMC9875906 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2022.08.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exosomes released into the plasma after brief cardiac ischaemia mediate subsequent cardioprotection. Whether donor exosomes can provide cardioprotection to recipients with chronic heart failure, which confers the highest perioperative risk, is unknown. We examined whether ischaemic preconditioning (IPC)-induced plasma exosomes exerted cardioprotection after their transfer from normal donors to post-infarcted failing hearts. METHODS Plasma exosomes were obtained from adult rats after IPC or sham. An exosome inhibitor GW4869 was administrated before IPC in an in vivo model of ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in normal rats. The IPC exosomes or control exosomes from normal donor rats were perfused to the normal or post-infarcted failing rat hearts before ischaemia in Langendorff perfusion experiments. Infarct size, cardiac enzymes, cardiac function, and pro-survival kinases were quantified. RESULTS The IPC stimulus increased the release of exosomes, whereas GW4869 inhibited the rise of plasma exosomes. Pre-treatment with GW4869 reversed IPC-mediated cardioprotection against in vivo I/R injury. In the Langendorff perfusion experiments, IPC exosomes from normal donor rats reduced mean infarct size from 41.05 (1.87)% to 31.43 (1.81)% and decreased lactate dehydrogenase activity in the post-infarcted failing rat hearts. IPC exosomes but not control exosomes activated pro-survival kinases in the heart tissues. CONCLUSIONS Ischaemic preconditioning-induced exosomes from normal rats can restore cardioprotection in heart failure after myocardial infarction, which is associated with activation of pro-survival protein kinases. These results suggest a potential perioperative therapeutic role for ischaemic preconditioning-induced exosomes.

Influence of Short and Long Hyperglycemia on Cardioprotection by Remote Ischemic Preconditioning-A Translational Approach. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232314557. [PMID: 36498885 PMCID: PMC9738494 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232314557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The adverse impact of common diseases like diabetes mellitus and acute hyperglycemia on morbidity and mortality from myocardial infarction (MI) has been well documented over the past years of research. In the clinical setting, the relationship between blood glucose and mortality appears linear, with amplifying risk associated with increasing blood glucose levels. Further, this seems to be independent of a diagnosis of diabetes. In the experimental setting, various comorbidities seem to impact ischemic and pharmacological conditioning strategies, protecting the heart against ischemia and reperfusion injury. In this translational experimental approach from bedside to bench, we set out to determine whether acute and/or prolonged hyperglycemia have an influence on the protective effect of transferred human RIPC-plasma and, therefore, might obstruct translation into the clinical setting. Control and RIPC plasma of young healthy men were transferred to isolated hearts of young male Wistar rats in vitro. Plasma was administered before global ischemia under either short hyperglycemic (HGs Con, HGs RIPC) conditions, prolonged hyperglycemia (HGl Con, HGl RIPC), or under normoglycemia (Con, RIPC). Infarct sizes were determined by TTC staining. Control hearts showed an infarct size of 55 ± 7%. Preconditioning with transferred RIPC plasma under normoglycemia significantly reduced infarct size to 25 ± 4% (p < 0.05 vs. Con). Under acute hyperglycemia, control hearts showed an infarct size of 63 ± 5%. Applying RIPC plasma under short hyperglycemic conditions led to a significant infarct size reduction of 41 ± 4% (p < 0.05 vs. HGs Con). However, the cardioprotective effect of RIPC plasma under normoglycemia was significantly stronger compared with acute hyperglycemic conditions (RIPC vs. HGs RIPC; p < 0.05). Prolonged hyperglycemia (HGl RIPC) completely abolished the cardioprotective effect of RIPC plasma (infarct size 60 ± 7%; p < 0.05 vs. HGl Con; HGl Con 59 ± 5%).

Abstract
Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), brief repetitive cycles of ischemia and reperfusion in remote tissues, is known to induce robust protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in preclinical studies. However, translation of the beneficial effects to the clinical setting has been challenging. A possibility is that comorbidities, including hypercholesterolemia, interfere with the protective mechanisms of RIC. The aim of this study was to test if hypercholesterolemia attenuates the efficacy of RIC in patients with hypercholesterolemia. Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) with high (≥5.5 mmol/L) low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), FH with low (≤2.5 mmol/L) and healthy control subjects (n = 12 in each group) were included. Flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery was evaluated, before and after a 20-min period of forearm ischemia and 20 min reperfusion (I/R) as a measure of endothelial function. Study subjects were randomized to a RIC protocol consisting of four cycles of 5 min of leg ischemia or sham using a crossover design. Forearm I/R induced significant reduction in FMD in all three groups during the sham procedure. RIC protected from endothelial dysfunction induced by forearm ischemia-reperfusion in healthy controls [FMD baseline 2.8 ± 2.3 vs. FMD after I/R + RIC 4.5 ± 4.0%; means (SD)] and in patients with FH with low LDL-C (4.5 ± 3.5 vs. 4.4 ± 4.2%). By contrast, RIC fails to protect against I/R-induced endothelial dysfunction in patients with FH and high LDL-C (3.9 ± 3.0 vs. 1.1 ± 1.5%; P < 0.01). These findings provide the first evidence in humans that the protective effect of RIC is lost in patients with elevated cholesterol.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We investigated the impact of hypercholesterolemia on the protective effect of RIC on ischemia-reperfusion injury in a well-characterized patient population with isolated hypercholesterolemia. The results show that the protective effect of RIC is absent in patients with hypercholesterolemia but is apparent in patients with hypercholesterolemic following treatment with lipid-lowering drugs. The results are of importance for the understanding of how comorbidities affect the therapeutic potential of RIC.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global mortality. Therapy of CVDs is still a great challenge since many advanced therapies have been developed. Multiple cell types produce nano-sized extracellular vesicles (EVs), including cardiovascular system-related cells and stem cells. Compelling evidence reveals that EVs are associated with the pathophysiological processes of CVDs. Recently researches focus on the clinical transformation in EVs-based diagnosis, prognosis, therapies, and drug delivery systems. In this review, we firstly discuss the current knowledge about the biophysical properties and biological components of EVs. Secondly, we will focus on the functions of EVs on CVDs, and outline the latest advances of EVs as prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers, and therapeutic agents. Finally, we will introduce the specific application of EVs as a novel drug delivery system and its application in CVDs therapy. Specific attention will be paid to summarize the perspectives, challenges, and applications on EVs’ clinical and industrial transformation.

Abstract
Experimentally, many strong cardioprotective treatments have been identified in different animal models of acute ischaemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the translation of these cardioprotective therapies for the benefit of the patients into the clinical scenario has been very disappointing. The reasons for this lack are certainly multiple. Indeed, many confounding factors we must deal in clinical reality, such as aging, sex and inflammatory processes are neglected in many experiments. Due to the pivotal role of aging, sex and inflammation in determining cardiac ischaemic disease, in this review, we take into account age as a modifier of tolerance to IRI in the two sexes, dissecting aging and myocardial reperfusion injury mechanisms and the sex differences in tolerance to IRI. Then we focus on the role of the gut microbiota and the NLRP3 inflammasome in myocardial IRI and on the possibility to consider NLRP3 inflammasome as a potential target in the treatment of CAD in relationship with age and sex. Finally, we consider the cardioprotective mechanisms and cardioprotective treatments during aging in the two sexes.

Abstract
Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC), induced by intermittent periods of limb ischaemia and reperfusion, confers cardiac and vascular protection from subsequent ischaemia–reperfusion (IR) injury. Early animal studies reliably demonstrate that RIPC attenuated infarct size and preserved cardiac tissue. However, translating these adaptations to clinical practice in humans has been challenging. Large clinical studies have found inconsistent results with respect to RIPC eliciting IR injury protection or improving clinical outcomes. Follow‐up studies have implicated several factors that potentially affect the efficacy of RIPC in humans such as age, fitness, frequency, disease state and interactions with medications. Thus, realizing the clinical potential for RIPC may require a human experimental model where confounding factors are more effectively controlled and underlying mechanisms can be further elucidated. In this review, we highlight recent experimental findings in the peripheral circulation that have added valuable insight on the mechanisms and clinical benefit of RIPC in humans. Central to this discussion is the critical role of timing (i.e. immediate vs. delayed effects following a single bout of RIPC) and the frequency of RIPC. Limited evidence in humans has demonstrated that repeated bouts of RIPC over several days uniquely improves vascular function beyond that observed with a single bout alone. Since changes in resistance vessel and microvascular function often precede symptoms and diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, repeated bouts of RIPC may be promising as a preclinical intervention to prevent or delay cardiovascular disease progression.

Abstract
Molecular mechanisms underlying myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury and effective strategies to treat MI/R injury are both in shortage. Although pyroptosis of cardiomyocytes and the protective role of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) have been well recognized as targets to reduce MI/R injury and sudden cardiac death (SCD), the connection has not yet been established. Here, we showed that CFs protected cardiomyocytes against MI/R-induced injury through suppression of pyroptosis. A novel molecular mechanism underpinning this effect was further identified. Under hypoxia/reoxygenation condition, CFs were found to secrete exosomes, which contain increased level of microRNA-133a (miR-133a). These exosomes then delivered miR-133a into cardiomyocytes to target ELAVL1 and repressed cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. Based on this finding, we successfully developed a new strategy that used exosomes derived from CFs with overexpressed miR-133a to enhance the therapeutic outcomes for the MI/R injury. Overall, our results provide a novel molecular basis for understanding and treating MI/R injury, and our study also provides novel insight for the postmortem diagnosis of MI/R injury induced SCD by using exosome biomarker in forensic.

Abstract
Stem cell therapy for cardiac regeneration has been gaining traction as a possible intervention for the reduction of the burden associated with MI and heart failure. However, stem cell therapies have several shortcomings, including poor engraftment, limited improvements in cardiac function, and possible teratogenicity. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) from stem cell sources have been explored as a novel therapy to regenerate the injured myocardium in several animal MI trials. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we investigate the use of stem cell-derived EVs for cardiac repair preclinical trials in animal MI models. Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science and grey literature (Canadian Agency for Drugs, Technologies in Health, and Google Scholar) were searched through August 20, 2020 and 37 articles were included in the final analysis. The overall effect size observed in EV-treated small animals after MI for ejection fraction (EF) was 10.85 [95 %CI: 8.79, 12.90] and for fractional shortening (FS) was 7.19 [95 %CI: 5.43, 8.96] compared to control-treated animals. The most abundant stem cell source used were mesenchymal stem cells which showed robust improvements in EF and FS (MD = 11.89 [95 % CI: 9.44, 14.34] and MD = 6.96 [95 % CI: 4.97, 8.96], respectively). Significant publication bias was detected for EF and FS outcomes. This study supports the use of EVs derived from stem cells as a novel therapy for cardiac repair after MI. Further investigation in larger animal studies may be necessary before clinical trials.PROSPERO registration number: CRD42019142218.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane enclosures released by eukaryotic cells that carry bioactive molecules and serve to modulate biological responses in recipient cells. Both increased EV release and altered EV composition are associated with the development and progression of many pathologies including cancer. Hypoxia, a feature of rapidly growing solid tumours, increases the release of EVs. However, the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. The hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) are transcription factors that act as major regulators of the cellular adaptations to hypoxia. Here, we investigated the requirement of HIF pathway activation for EV release in Human Embryonic Kidney Cells (HEK293). Time course experiments showed that EV release increased concomitantly with sustained HIF1α and HIF2α activation following the onset of hypoxia. shRNA mediated knock-down of HIF1α but not HIF2α abrogated the effect of hypoxia on EV release, suggesting HIF1α is involved in this process. However, stabilization of HIF proteins in normoxic conditions through: (i) heterologous expression of oxygen insensitive HIF1α or HIF2α mutants in normoxic cells or (ii) chemical inhibition of the prolyl hydroxylase 2 (PHD2) repressor protein, did not increase EV release, suggesting HIF activation alone is not sufficient for this process. Our findings suggest HIF1α plays an important role in the regulation of EV release during hypoxia in HEK293 cells, however other hypoxia triggered mechanisms likely contribute as stabilization of HIF1α alone in normoxia is not sufficient for EV release.

Abstract
Exosomes are participated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and can be secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, the effects of circRNA, delivered by exosomes derived from MSCs, on myocardial injury remain unclear. Hence, this study aims to explore the therapeutic potential of exosomes derived from circRNA_0002113 lacking MSCs in the treatment of myocardial injury in vitro and in vivo. Our results reveal that exosomes derived from circRNA_0002113 lacking MSCs decreased cell apoptosis in anoxia-reoxygenation (A/R) model cells, and reduced myocardial injury by inhibiting nuclear translocation of RUNX1 in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, miR-188-3p, which targets RUNX1 in cardiomyocytes was also found to interact with circRNA_0002113. In conclusion, exosomes derived from circRNA_0002113 lacking MSCs could suppress myocardial infarction by sponging miR-188-3p to regulate RUNX1 nuclear translocation. The circRNA_0002113/miR-188-3p/RUNX1 axis mediated alleviation of apoptosis serves as a novel strategy to treat myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract
Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), which involves a series of short cycles of ischemia in an organ remote to the brain (typically the limbs), has been shown to protect the ischemic penumbra after stroke and reduce ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. Although the exact mechanism by which this protective signal is transferred from the remote site to the brain remains unclear, preclinical studies suggest that the mechanisms of RIC involve a combination of circulating humoral factors and neuronal signals. An improved understanding of these mechanisms will facilitate translation to more effective treatment strategies in clinical settings. In this review, we will discuss potential protective mechanisms in the brain and cerebral vasculature associated with RIC. We will discuss a putative role of the immune system and circulating mediators of inflammation in these protective processes, including the expression of pro-and anti-inflammatory genes in peripheral immune cells that may influence the outcome. We will also review the potential role of extracellular vesicles (EVs), biological vectors capable of delivering cell-specific cargo such as proteins and miRNAs to cells, in modulating the protective effects of RIC in the brain and vasculature.

Abstract
The majority of cardiovascular deaths are associated with acute coronary syndrome, especially ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Therapeutic reperfusion alone can contribute up to 40 percent of total infarct size following coronary artery occlusion, which is called ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Its size depends on many factors, including the main risk factors of cardiovascular mortality, such as age, sex, systolic blood pressure, smoking, and total cholesterol level as well as obesity, diabetes, and physical effort. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-coated particles released by every type of cell, which can carry content that affects the functioning of other tissues. Their role is essential in the communication between healthy and dysfunctional cells. In this article, data on the variability of the content of EVs in patients with the most prevalent cardiovascular risk factors is presented, and their influence on IRI is discussed.

Repetitive Treatment with Volatile Anesthetics Does Not Affect the In Vivo Plasma Concentration and Composition of Extracellular Vesicles in Rats. Curr Issues Mol Biol 2021; 43:1997-2010. [PMID: 34889902 PMCID: PMC8929111 DOI: 10.3390/cimb43030137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Revised: 11/04/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Anesthetic-induced preconditioning (AIP) with volatile anesthetics is a well-known experimental technique to protect tissues from ischemic injury or oxidative stress. Additionally, plasmatic extracellular vesicle (EV) populations and their cargo are known to be affected by AIP in vitro, and to provide organ protective properties via their cargo. We investigated whether AIP would affect the generation of EVs in an in vivo rat model. Methods: Twenty male Sprague Dawley rats received a repetitive treatment with either isoflurane or with sevoflurane for a duration of 4 or 8 weeks. EVs from blood plasma were characterized by nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Western blot. A scratch assay (H9C2 cardiomyoblast cell line) was performed to investigate the protective capabilities of the isolated EVs. Results: TEM images as well as Western blot analysis indicated that EVs were successfully isolated. The AIP changed the flotillin and CD63 expression on the EV surface, but not the EV concentration. The scratch assay did not show increased cell migration and/or proliferation after EV treatment. Conclusion: AIP in rats changed the cargo of EVs but had no effect on EV concentration or cell migration/proliferation. Future studies are needed to investigate the cargo on a miRNA level and to investigate the properties of these EVs in additional functional experiments.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the central target of ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning cardioprotective strategies, which consist of either the application of brief intermittent ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) cycles or the administration of pharmacological agents. Such strategies reduce cardiac I/R injury by activating protective signaling pathways that prevent the exacerbated production of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, inhibit opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore and reduce apoptosis, maintaining normal mitochondrial function. Cardioprotection also involves the activation of mitochondrial quality control (MQC) processes, which replace defective mitochondria or eliminate mitochondrial debris, preserving the structure and function of the network of these organelles, and consequently ensuring homeostasis and survival of cardiomyocytes. Such processes include mitochondrial biogenesis, fission, fusion, mitophagy and mitochondrial-controlled cell death. This review updates recent advances in MQC mechanisms that are activated in the protection conferred by different cardiac conditioning interventions. Furthermore, the role of extracellular vesicles in mitochondrial protection and turnover of these organelles will be discussed. It is concluded that modulation of MQC mechanisms and recognition of mitochondrial targets could provide a potential and selective therapeutic approach for I/R-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.

Circulating platelet-derived extracellular vesicles are decreased after remote ischemic preconditioning in patients with coronary disease: A randomized controlled trial. J Thromb Haemost 2021; 19:2605-2611.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brief nonharmful ischemia, remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been proposed to confer benefit to patients with coronary artery disease via unknown mechanisms. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the effect of RIPC on circulating levels of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and global coagulation and fibrinolytic factors in patients with coronary disease. PATIENTS/METHODS Blood samples were taken from 60 patients presenting for coronary angiography enrolled in a randomized, controlled trial before and after RIPC (3 × 5 min administration of 200 mmHg sphygmomanometer on the arm, n = 31) or sham (n = 29) treatment. Most patients (n = 48) had significant coronary artery disease and all were taking at least one antiplatelet agent. RESULTS Remote ischemic preconditioning significantly decreased circulating levels of EVs expressing platelet markers CD41 and CD61 detected by flow cytometry in plasma, whereas no such effect was found on EVs expressing phosphatidylserine, CD62P, CD45, CD11b, CD144, CD31+ /CD41- , or CD235a. RIPC had no effect on the overall hemostatic potential assay or circulating antigen levels of tissue plasminogen activator, urokinase, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, or plasminogen. Sham treatment had no effect on any studied parameter. Statin use inhibited the effect of RIPC on CD61+ EVs, diabetes modified the effect of RIPC on CD45+ and CD11b+ EVs, and hypertension modified the effect of RIPC on CD235a+ EVs. CONCLUSIONS Remote ischemic preconditioning decreased circulating levels of platelet-derived EVs in patients with coronary disease taking conventional antiplatelet therapy. This may reflect increased EV clearance/uptake or change in production. Clinical variables may alter the effectiveness of RIPC.

Abstract
Helium inhalation induces cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion injury, the cellular mechanism of which remains not fully elucidated. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived, nano-sized membrane vesicles which play a role in cardioprotective mechanisms, but their function in helium conditioning (HeC) has not been studied so far. We hypothesized that HeC induces fibroblast-mediated cardioprotection via EVs. We isolated neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts (NRCFs) and exposed them to glucose deprivation and HeC rendered by four cycles of 95% helium + 5% CO2 for 1 h, followed by 1 h under normoxic condition. After 40 h of HeC, NRCF activation was analyzed with a Western blot (WB) and migration assay. From the cell supernatant, medium extracellular vesicles (mEVs) were isolated with differential centrifugation and analyzed with WB and nanoparticle tracking analysis. The supernatant from HeC-treated NRCFs was transferred to naïve NRCFs or immortalized human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC-TERT2), and a migration and angiogenesis assay was performed. We found that HeC accelerated the migration of NRCFs and did not increase the expression of fibroblast activation markers. HeC tended to decrease mEV secretion of NRCFs, but the supernatant of HeC or the control NRCFs did not accelerate the migration of naïve NRCFs or affect the angiogenic potential of HUVEC-TERT2. In conclusion, HeC may contribute to cardioprotection by increasing fibroblast migration but not by releasing protective mEVs or soluble factors from cardiac fibroblasts.

Abstract
Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a procedure that can attenuate ischemic-reperfusion injury by conducting brief cycles of ischemia and reperfusion in the arm or leg. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) circulating in the bloodstream can release their content into recipient cells to confer protective function on ischemia-reperfusion injured (IRI) organs. Skeletal muscle cells are potential candidates to release EVs as a protective signal during RIC. In this study, we used C2C12 cells as a model system and performed cyclic hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR) to mimic RIC. EVs were collected and subjected to small RNA profiling and proteomics. HR induced a distinct shift in the miRNA profile and protein content in EVs. HR EV treatment restored cell viability, dampened inflammation, and enhanced tube formation in in vitro assays. In vivo, HR EVs showed increased accumulation in the ischemic brain compared to EVs secreted from normoxic culture (N EVs) in a mouse undergoing transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO). We conclude that HR conditioning changes the miRNA and protein profile in EVs released by C2C12 cells and enhances the protective signal in the EVs to recipient cells in vitro.

Abstract
Owing to myocardial abnormalities, cardiac ailments are considered to be the major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. According to a recent study, membranous vesicles that are produced naturally, termed as "exosomes", have emerged as the potential candidate in the field of cardiac regenerative medicine. A wide spectrum of stem cells has also been investigated in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Exosomes obtained from the stem cells are found to be cardioprotective and offer great hope in the treatment of CVD. The basic nature of exosomes is to deal with the intracellular delivery of both proteins and nucleic acids. This activity of exosomes helps us to rely on them as the attractive pharmaceutical delivery agents. Most importantly, exosomes derived from microRNAs (miRNAs) hold great promise in assessing the risk of CVD, as they serve as notable biomarkers of the disease. Exosomes are small, less immunogenic, and lack toxicity. These nanovesicles harbor immense potential as a therapeutic entity and would provide fruitful benefits if consequential research were focused on their upbringing and development as a useful diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the field of medicine.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction is a frequent complication of cardiovascular disease leading to high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels after myocardial infarction are associated with heart failure and poor prognosis. Cardiomyocyte microvesicles (CMV) are released during hypoxic conditions and can act as mediators of intercellular communication. MicroRNA (miRNA) are short non-coding RNA which can alter cellular mRNA-translation. Microvesicles (MV) have been shown to contain distinct patterns of miRNA from their parent cells which can affect protein expression in target cells. We hypothesized that miRNA containing CMV mediate hepatic CRP expression after cardiomyocyte hypoxia. H9c2-cells were cultured and murine cardiomyocytes were isolated from whole murine hearts. H9c2- and murine cardiomyocytes were exposed to hypoxic conditions using a hypoxia chamber. Microvesicles were isolated by differential centrifugation and analysed by flow cytometry. Next-generation-sequencing was performed to determine the miRNA-expression profile in H9c2 CMV compared to their parent cells. Microvesicles were incubated with a co-culture model of the liver consisting of THP-1 macrophages and HepG2 cells. IL-6 and CRP expression in the co-culture was assessed by qPCR and ELISA. CMV contain a distinct pattern of miRNA compared to their parent cells including many inflammation-related miRNA. CMV induced IL-6 expression in THP-1 macrophages alone and CRP expression in the hepatic co-culture model. MV from hypoxic cardiomyocytes can mediate CRP expression in a hepatic co-culture model. Further studies will have to show whether these effects are reproducible in-vivo.

Abstract
The choice of the anesthetic regime is suggested to affect clinical outcomes following major surgery. Propofol was shown to exert beneficial effects on different cancer outcomes, while volatile anesthetics may be favorable in cardiac surgery. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) were discovered as essential signal mediators in physiological and pathophysiological processes including carcinogenesis and metastasis. Furthermore, depending on their cell source, EVs fulfill therapeutic functions. In addition to extracorporally produced EVs, appropriate systemic intervention such as remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is considered to promote endogenous release of therapeutically active EVs to mediate cardioprotective effects. EVs are assembled in cell-type specific manners and the composition of EVs is not only affected by the disease, but also by the applied anesthetic of anesthetized patients. Here, we compare known impacts of anesthetic agents on outcomes in cancer surgery and cardioprotection and link these effects to the composition and therapeutic potential of EVs.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-released lipid-bilayer nanoparticles that contain biologically active cargo involved in physiological and pathological intercellular communication. In recent years, the therapeutic potential of EVs has been explored in various disease models. In particular, mesenchymal stromal cell-derived EVs have been shown to exert anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-apoptotic, and pro-angiogenic properties in cardiovascular, metabolic and orthopedic conditions. However, a major drawback of EV-based therapeutics is scale-up issues due to extensive cell culture requirements and inefficient isolation protocols. An emerging alternative approach to time-consuming and costly cell culture expansion is to obtain therapeutic EVs directly from the body, for example, from plasma and adipose tissue. This review discusses isolation methods and therapeutic applications of plasma and adipose tissue-derived EVs, highlighting advantages and disadvantages compared to cell culture-derived ones.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes: Applications in Regenerative Medicine. Cells 2021; 10:cells10081959.

Abstract
Exosomes are a type of extracellular vesicles, produced within multivesicular bodies, that are then released into the extracellular space through a merging of the multivesicular body with the plasma membrane. These vesicles are secreted by almost all cell types to aid in a vast array of cellular functions, including intercellular communication, cell differentiation and proliferation, angiogenesis, stress response, and immune signaling. This ability to contribute to several distinct processes is due to the complexity of exosomes, as they carry a multitude of signaling moieties, including proteins, lipids, cell surface receptors, enzymes, cytokines, transcription factors, and nucleic acids. The favorable biological properties of exosomes including biocompatibility, stability, low toxicity, and proficient exchange of molecular cargos make exosomes prime candidates for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Exploring the functions and molecular payloads of exosomes can facilitate tissue regeneration therapies and provide mechanistic insight into paracrine modulation of cellular activities. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of exosome biogenesis, composition, and isolation methods. We also discuss emerging healing properties of exosomes and exosomal cargos, such as microRNAs, in brain injuries, cardiovascular disease, and COVID-19 amongst others. Overall, this review highlights the burgeoning roles and potential applications of exosomes in regenerative medicine.

Extracellular vesicles from patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome impact on ischemia-reperfusion injury. Pharmacol Res 2021; 170:105715. [PMID: 34111564 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2021.105715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Revised: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The relevance of extracellular vesicles (EV) as mediators of cardiac damage or recovery upon Ischemia Reperfusion Injury (IRI) and Remote Ischemic PreConditioning (RIPC) is controversial. This study aimed to investigate whether serum-derived EV, recovered from patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and subjected to the RIPC or sham procedures, may be a suitable therapeutic approach to prevent IRI during Percutaneous-Coronary-Intervention (PCI). A double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled study (NCT02195726) has been extended, and EV were recovered from 30 patients who were randomly assigned (1:1) to undergo the RIPC- (EV-RIPC) or sham-procedures (EV-naive) before PCI. Patient-derived EV were analyzed by TEM, FACS and western blot. We found that troponin (TnT) was enriched in EV, compared to healthy subjects, regardless of diagnosis. EV-naive induced protection against IRI, both in-vitro and in the rat heart, unlike EV-RIPC. We noticed that EV-naive led to STAT-3 phosphorylation, while EV-RIPC to Erk-1/2 activation in the rat heart. Pre-treatment of the rat heart with specific STAT-3 and Erk-1/2 inhibitors led us to demonstrate that STAT-3 is crucial for EV-naive-mediated protection. In the same model, Erk-1/2 inhibition rescued STAT-3 activation and protection upon EV-RIPC treatment. 84 Human Cardiovascular Disease mRNAs were screened and DUSP6 mRNA was found enriched in patient-derived EV-naive. Indeed, DUSP6 silencing in EV-naive prevented STAT-3 phosphorylation and cardio-protection in the rat heart. This analysis of ACS-patients' EV proved: (i) EV-naive cardio-protective activity and mechanism of action; (ii) the lack of EV-RIPC-mediated cardio-protection; (iii) the properness of the in-vitro assay to predict EV effectiveness in-vivo.

Abstract
The significant reduction in ‘ischemic time’ through capillary diffusion of primary percutaneous intervention (pPCI) has rendered myocardial-ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) prevention a major issue in order to improve the prognosis of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. In fact, while the ischemic damage increases with the severity and the duration of blood flow reduction, reperfusion injury reaches its maximum with a moderate amount of ischemic injury. MIRI leads to the development of post-STEMI left ventricular remodeling (post-STEMI LVR), thereby increasing the risk of arrhythmias and heart failure. Single pharmacological and mechanical interventions have shown some benefits, but have not satisfactorily reduced mortality. Therefore, a multitarget therapeutic strategy is needed, but no univocal indications have come from the clinical trials performed so far. On the basis of the results of the consistent clinical studies analyzed in this review, we try to design a randomized clinical trial aimed at evaluating the effects of a reasoned multitarget therapeutic strategy on the prevention of post-STEMI LVR. In fact, we believe that the correct timing of pharmacological and mechanical intervention application, according to their specific ability to interfere with survival pathways, may significantly reduce the incidence of post-STEMI LVR and thus improve patient prognosis.

Adipose-Derived Stem Cells and Their Derived Microvesicles Ameliorate Detrusor Overactivity Secondary to Bilateral Partial Iliac Arterial Occlusion-Induced Bladder Ischemia. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22137000.

Abstract
(1) Background: We established a new bladder ischemia rat model through bilateral partial iliac arterial occlusion (BPAO) and investigated the therapeutic effect of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and ADSC-derived microvesicles (MVs); (2) Methods: The study included four groups: (1) sham, (2) BPAO, (3) BPAO + ADSCs, and (4) BPAO + ADSC-derived MVs. Female Wistar rats with BPAO were injected with ADSCs or ADSC-derived MVs through the femoral artery. Doppler flowmetry and real-time laser speckle contrast imaging were performed to quantify blood flow in the common iliac arteries and bladder microcirculation. A 24-h behavior study and transcystometrogram were conducted after 2 weeks. Bladder histology, immunostaining, and lipid peroxidation assay were performed. The expressions of P2X2, P2X3, M2, and M3 receptors and nerve growth factor (NGF) were evaluated; (3) Results: BPAO significantly reduced bladder microcirculation, intercontraction interval (ICI), and bladder volume and increased the amplitude of nonvoiding contraction, neutrophil infiltration, and malondialdehyde and NGF levels. ADSCs and ADSC-derived MVs significantly ameliorated these effects. The results of Western blot showed that the BPAO group exhibited the highest expression of M3 and P2X2 receptors. ADSCs significantly attenuated the expressions of M2 and P2X2 receptors. ADSC-derived MVs significantly attenuated the expressions of M3 and P2X2 receptors; (4) Conclusions: ADSCs and ADSC-derived MVs ameliorated the adverse effects of BPAO including bladder overactivity, bladder ischemia, and oxidative stress. Inflammation, muscarinic signaling, purinergic signaling, and NGF might be involved in the therapeutic mechanism.

Myocardial Infarction-Associated Extracellular Vesicle-Delivered miR-208b Affects the Growth of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells via Regulating CDKN1A. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:9965639.

Abstract
This study was aimed at investigating the effects of myocardial infarction- (MI-) associated extracellular vesicle- (EV-) delivered miR-208b on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). EVs were isolated and subsequently stained with PHK67. A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the target of miR-208b. Afterwards, HUVECs were transfected with either MI-associated EVs or miR-208b mimics, and cell viability, migration, and apoptosis were subsequently measured. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was applied to determine the expressions of the tested genes. NanoSight, transmission electron microscopy, and western blotting showed that EVs were successfully isolated. Among the potential microRNA biomarkers for MI, miR-208b was chosen for subsequent experiments. We found that MI-associated EVs could be taken up by HUVECs and confirmed that CDKN1A was a direct target of miR-208b. Additionally, miR-208b mimics and MI-associated EVs significantly inhibited the viability and migration of HUVECs (P < 0.05) and promoted cell apoptosis, as well as reduced S phase and increased G2/M phase cell distribution. RT-qPCR revealed that both miR-208b mimics and MI-associated EVs upregulated the expressions of CDKN1A, FAK, Raf-1, MAPK1, and Bax but downregulated the expression of Bcl2 and reduced the Bcl2/Bax ratio. Our study concludes that MI-associated EVs delivered miR-208b to HUVECs, and EV-delivered miR-208b could affect the growth of HUVECs by regulating the miR-208b/CDKN1A pathway; thus, miR-208b can be therefore served as important therapeutic targets for MI treatment.

Abstract
During myocardial ischemia, timely reperfusion is critical to limit infarct area and the overall loss of cardiac contractile function. However, reperfusion further exacerbates the damage of the ischemic heart. This type of injury is known as ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Ischemic conditioning is a procedure which consists of brief cycles of ischemia and reperfusion in order to protect the myocardium against IRI. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), namely transient brief episodes of ischemia at a remote site before a subsequent damaging ischemia/reperfusion procedure of the target organ (e.g., the heart), protects against IRI. However, how the stimulus of RIC is transduced from the remote organ to the ischemic heart is still unknown. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been proposed to have a role in the RIC procedure. The endothelium releases EVs and is also one of the tissues mostly exposed to EVs during their journey to the target organ. Moreover, EVs may have important roles in angiogenesis and, therefore, in the remodeling of post-ischemic organs. Here we analyze how EVs may contribute to the overall cardioprotective effect and the implication of the endothelium and its EVs in RIC mediated acute cardioprotection as well as in angiogenesis.

Connexins in the Heart: Regulation, Function and Involvement in Cardiac Disease. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22094413.

Abstract
Connexins are a family of transmembrane proteins that play a key role in cardiac physiology. Gap junctional channels put into contact the cytoplasms of connected cardiomyocytes, allowing the existence of electrical coupling. However, in addition to this fundamental role, connexins are also involved in cardiomyocyte death and survival. Thus, chemical coupling through gap junctions plays a key role in the spreading of injury between connected cells. Moreover, in addition to their involvement in cell-to-cell communication, mounting evidence indicates that connexins have additional gap junction-independent functions. Opening of unopposed hemichannels, located at the lateral surface of cardiomyocytes, may compromise cell homeostasis and may be involved in ischemia/reperfusion injury. In addition, connexins located at non-canonical cell structures, including mitochondria and the nucleus, have been demonstrated to be involved in cardioprotection and in regulation of cell growth and differentiation. In this review, we will provide, first, an overview on connexin biology, including their synthesis and degradation, their regulation and their interactions. Then, we will conduct an in-depth examination of the role of connexins in cardiac pathophysiology, including new findings regarding their involvement in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, cardiac fibrosis, gene transcription or signaling regulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) by brief periods of limb ischemia and reperfusion protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury. We studied the cardioprotective role of extracellular vesicles (EV)s released into the circulation after RIC and EV accumulation in injured myocardium. METHODS We used plasma from healthy human volunteers before and after RIC (pre-PLA and post-PLA) to evaluate the transferability of RIC. Pre- and post-RIC plasma samples were separated into an EV enriched fraction (pre-EV + and post-EV +) and an EV poor fraction (pre-EV- and post-EV-) by size exclusion chromatography. Small non-coding RNAs from pre-EV + and post-EV + were purified and profiled by NanoString Technology. Infarct size was compared in Sprague-Dawley rat hearts perfused with isolated plasma and fractions in a Langendorff model. In addition, fluorescently labeled EVs were used to assess homing in an in vivo rat model. (ClinicalTrials.gov, number: NCT03380663) RESULTS: Post-PLA reduced infarct size by 15% points compared with Pre-PLA (55 ± 4% (n = 7) vs 70 ± 6% (n = 8), p = 0.03). Post-EV + reduced infarct size by 16% points compared with pre-EV + (53 ± 15% (n = 13) vs 68 ± 12% (n = 14), p = 0.03). Post-EV- did not affect infarct size compared to pre-EV- (64 ± 3% (n = 15) and 68 ± 10% (n = 16), p > 0.99). Three miRNAs (miR-16-5p, miR-144-3p and miR-451a) that target the mTOR pathway were significantly up-regulated in the post-EV + group. Labelled EVs accumulated more intensely in the infarct area than in sham hearts. CONCLUSION Cardioprotection by RIC can be mediated by circulating EVs that accumulate in injured myocardium. The underlying mechanism involves modulation of EV miRNA that may promote cell survival during reperfusion.

Abstract
The maintenance of tissue, organ, and organism homeostasis relies on an intricate network of players and mechanisms that assist in the different forms of cell-cell communication. Myocardial infarction, following heart ischemia and reperfusion, is associated with profound changes in key processes of intercellular communication, involving gap junctions, extracellular vesicles, and tunneling nanotubes, some of which have been implicated in communication defects associated with cardiac injury, namely arrhythmogenesis and progression into heart failure. Therefore, intercellular communication players have emerged as attractive powerful therapeutic targets aimed at preserving a fine-tuned crosstalk between the different cardiac cells in order to prevent or repair some of harmful consequences of heart ischemia and reperfusion, re-establishing myocardial function.

Abstract
Intact endothelial function plays a fundamental role for the maintenance of cardiovascular (CV) health. The endothelium is also involved in remote signaling pathway-mediated protection against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the transfer of these protective signals into clinical practice has been hampered by the complex metabolic alterations frequently observed in the cardiometabolic continuum, which affect redox balance and inflammatory pathways. Despite recent advances in determining the distinct roles of hyperglycemia, insulin resistance (InR), hyperinsulinemia, and ultimately diabetes mellitus (DM), which define the cardiometabolic continuum, our understanding of how these conditions modulate endothelial signaling remains challenging. It is widely accepted that endothelial cells (ECs) undergo functional changes within the cardiometabolic continuum. Beyond vascular tone and platelet-endothelium interaction, endothelial dysfunction may have profound negative effects on outcome during I/R. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of the influence of hyperglycemia, InR, hyperinsulinemia, and DM on endothelial function and redox balance, their influence on remote protective signaling pathways, and their impact on potential therapeutic strategies to optimize protective heterocellular signaling.

Abstract
The benefits of remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) have been difficult to translate to humans, when considering traditional outcome measures, such as mortality and heart failure. This paper reviews the recent literature of the anti-inflammatory effects of RIC, with a particular focus on the innate immune response and cytokine inhibition. Given the current COVID-19 pandemic, the inflammatory hypothesis of cardiac protection is an attractive target on which to re-purpose such novel therapies. A PubMed/MEDLINE™ search was performed on July 13th 2020, for the key terms RIC, cytokines, the innate immune system and inflammation. Data suggest that RIC attenuates inflammation in animals by immune conditioning, cytokine inhibition, cell survival and the release of anti-inflammatory exosomes. It is proposed that RIC inhibits cytokine release via a reduction in nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB)-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome production. In vivo, RIC attenuates pro-inflammatory cytokine release in myocardial/cerebral infarction and LPS models of endotoxaemia. In the latter group, cytokine inhibition is associated with a profound survival benefit. Further clinical trials should establish whether the benefits of RIC in inflammation can be observed in humans. Moreover, we must consider whether uncomplicated MI and elective surgery are the most suitable clinical conditions in which to test this hypothesis.

Abstract
A thrombus in a coronary artery causes ischemia, which eventually leads to myocardial infarction (MI) if not removed. However, removal generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), which causes ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury that damages the tissue and exacerbates the resulting MI. The mechanism of I/R injury is currently extensively understood. However, supplementation of exogenous antioxidants is ineffective against oxidative stress (OS). Enhancing the ability of endogenous antioxidants may be a more effective way to treat OS, and exosomes may play a role as targeted carriers. Exosomes are nanosized vesicles wrapped in biofilms which contain various complex RNAs and proteins. They are important intermediate carriers of intercellular communication and material exchange. In recent years, diagnosis and treatment with exosomes in cardiovascular diseases have gained considerable attention. Herein, we review the new findings of exosomes in the regulation of OS in coronary heart disease, discuss the possibility of exosomes as carriers for the targeted regulation of endogenous ROS generation, and compare the advantages of exosome therapy with those of stem-cell therapy. Finally, we explore several miRNAs found in exosomes against OS.
