Abstract
Myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) is a cytokine that exhibits a variety of biological functions. This study focused on utilizing BL21(DE3) strain engineering and fermentation strategies to achieve high-level expression of soluble human MYDGF (hMYDGF) in Escherichia coli. Initially, the E. coli expressing strain BL21(DE3) was engineered by deleting the IpxM gene and inserting the GROEL/S and Trigger factor genes. The engineered E. coli strain BL21(TG)/pT-MYDGF accumulated 3557.3 ± 185.6 μg/g and 45.7 ± 6.7 mg/L of soluble hMYDGF in shake flask fermentation, representing a 15.6-fold increase compared to the control strain BL21(DE3)/pT-MYDGF. Furthermore, the yield of hMYDGF was significantly enhanced by optimizing the fermentation conditions. Under optimized conditions, the 5L bioreactor yielded up to 2665.8 ± 164.3 μg/g and 407.6 ± 42.9 mg/L of soluble hMYDGF. The results indicate that the implementation of these optimization strategies could enhance the ratio and yield of soluble proteins expressed by E.coli, thereby meeting the demands of industrial production. This study employed sophisticated strategies to lay a solid foundation for the industrial application of hMYDGF.

Reaffirmation of Mechanistic Proteomic Signatures Accompanying SGLT2 Inhibition in Patients With Heart Failure: A Validation Cohort of the EMPEROR Program. J Am Coll Cardiol 2024:S0735-1097(24)07897-5. [PMID: 39217550 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2024.07.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2024] [Revised: 07/17/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exert a distinctive pattern of direct biological effects on the heart and kidney under experimental conditions, but the meaningfulness of these signatures for patients with heart failure has not been fully defined. OBJECTIVES We performed the first mechanistic validation study of large-scale proteomics in a double-blind randomized trial of any treatment in patients with heart failure. METHODS In a discovery cohort from the EMPEROR (Empagliflozin Outcome Trial in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction) program, we studied the effect of randomized treatment with placebo or empagliflozin on 1,283 circulating proteins in 1,134 patients with heart failure with a reduced or preserved ejection fraction. In a validation cohort, we expanded the number to 2,155 assessed proteins, which were measured in 1,120 EMPEROR participants who had not been studied previously. RESULTS In the validation cohort, 25 proteins were the most differentially enriched by empagliflozin (ie, ≥15% between-group difference and false discovery rate <1% at 12 weeks with known effects on the heart or kidney): 1) 13 proteins promote autophagy and other cellular quality-control functions (IGFBP1, OTUB1, DNAJB1, DNAJC9, RBP2, IST1, HSPA8, H-FABP, FABP6, ATPIFI, TfR1, EPO, IGBP1); 2) 12 proteins enhance mitochondrial health and ATP production (UMtCK, TBCA, L-FABP, H-FABP, FABP5, FABP6, RBP2, IST1, HSPA8, ATPIFI, TfR1, EPO); 3) 7 proteins augment cellular iron mobilization or erythropoiesis (TfR1, EPO, IGBP1, ERMAP, UROD, ATPIF1, SNCA); 4) 3 proteins influence renal tubular sodium handling; and 5) 9 proteins have restorative effects in the heart or kidneys, with many proteins exerting effects in >1 domain. These biological signatures replicated those observed in our discovery cohort. When the threshold for a meaningful between-group difference was lowered to ≥10%, there were 58 additional differentially enriched proteins with actions on the heart and kidney, but the biological signatures remained the same. CONCLUSIONS The replication of mechanistic signatures across discovery and validation cohorts closely aligns with the experimental effects of SGLT2 inhibitors. Thus, the actions of SGLT2 inhibitors-to promote autophagy, restore mitochondrial health and production of ATP, promote iron mobilization and erythropoiesis, influence renal tubular ion reabsorption, and normalize cardiac and renal structure and function-are likely to be relevant to patients with heart failure.

Abstract
Mice and many marine organisms exhibit ~12-h ultradian rhythms, however, direct evidence of ~12-h ultradian rhythms in humans is lacking. Here, we performed prospective, temporal transcriptome profiling of peripheral white blood cells from three healthy humans. All three participants independently exhibited robust ~12-h transcriptional rhythms in molecular programs involved in RNA and protein metabolism, with strong homology to circatidal gene programs previously identified in Cnidarian marine species.

Abstract
Over the past three decades, cell therapy development has fallen short of expectations, with many cellular sources demonstrating a 'Janus effect' and raising safety concerns. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), supported by advanced technologies, present a promising avenue in regenerative medicine, offering benefits such as immune tolerance and avoidance of negative aspects associated with cell transplants. Our previous research showcased enhanced and organized subcutaneous vascularization using three-dimensional bioprinted patches containing HUVEC-derived EVs in immunodeficient animal models. In this context, stress conditions on the cells of origin further boosted the EVs' neoangiogenic potential. Since neovascularization is the first regenerative target requiring restoration, the present study aims to complement our previous work by employing an injectable gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel functionalized with HUVEC-derived EVs in a pathological condition of acute myocardial infarction. This bioactive hydrogel resulted in reduced fibrosis, improved contractility, and promoted angiogenesis, showing promise in countering tissue deterioration and addressing vascular deficits. Moreover, the molecular characterization of EVs through miRNome and proteomic analyses further supports their potential as bio-additives for hydrogel functionalization. This cell-free approach mitigates immune rejection and oncogenic risks, offering innovative therapeutic advantages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated that the migrasome, a newly functional extracellular vesicle, is potentially significant in the occurrence, progression, and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Nonetheless, its diagnostic significance and biological mechanism in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have yet to be fully explored. METHODS To remedy this gap, we employed an integrative machine learning (ML) framework composed of 113 ML combinations within five independent AMI cohorts to establish a predictive migrasome-related signature (MS). To further elucidate the biological mechanism underlying MS, we implemented single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of cardiac Cd45+ cells from AMI-induced mice. Ultimately, we conducted mendelian randomization (MR) and molecular docking to unveil the therapeutic effectiveness of MS. RESULTS MS demonstrated robust predictive performance and superior generalization, driven by the optimal combination of Stepglm and Lasso, on the expression of nine migrasome genes (BMP1, ITGB1, NDST1, TSPAN1, TSPAN18, TSPAN2, TSPAN4, TSPAN7, TSPAN9, and WNT8A). Notably, ITGB1 was found to be predominantly expressed in cardiac macrophages in AMI-induced mice, mechanically regulating macrophage transformation between anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory. Furthermore, we showed a positive causality between genetic predisposition towards ITGB1 expression and AMI risk, positioning it as a causative gene. Finally, we showed that ginsenoside Rh1, which interacts closely with ITGB1, could represent a novel therapeutic approach for repressing ITGB1. CONCLUSIONS Our MS has implications in forecasting and curving AMI to inform future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for AMI.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of the loss of myeloid-derived growth factor (Mydgf) on the transformation of cardiac fibroblasts into myofibroblasts after myocardial infarction (MI). Methods Two adult mouse groups, including a wild-type (WT) group and another group with Mydgf knockout (Mydgf-KO), were examined in the study. The mice in these two groups were tested for their cardiac function by measuring left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) (n=10). Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) (n=3) was performed to determine the mRNA expression levels of myofibroblast markers, including α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), periostin (postn), type Ⅷ collagen (col8al), and connective tissue growth factor (ctgf). Western blot (n=3) was performed to verify the protein expression levels of α-SMA. MI modeling was performed on the WT and the Mydgf-KO mice. Postoperative LVEF and LVFS (n=10) were then measured. The hearts were harvested and Masson staining was performed to determine the infarcted area (n=10). The heart samples of Mydgf-KO and WT mice were collected at d 7 and d 14 after MI, respectively, to verify the expression of myofibroblast markers (n=3). Results Compared with WT mice, LVEF and LVFS in adult Mydgf-KO mice showed no significant changes (all P>0.05). However, the mRNA levels of α-SMA and postn were upregulated, and α-SMA protein expression was also increased (all P<0.05). After MI, compared with WT mice, LVEF and LVFS in Mydgf-KO mice decreased, and the infarcted area increased significantly (all P<0.05). Furthermore, mRNA levels of α-SMA, col8al, postn, and ctgf were increased in Mydgf-KO mice. In addition, the α-SMA protein expression level was upregulated and α-SMA-positive fibroblasts were increased (P<0.05). Conclusion Mydgf deletion promotes the transformation of cardiac fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and aggravates myocardial fibrosis after MI.

Abstract
Myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) is a novel secreted protein with potent antiapoptotic and tissue-repairing properties that is present in nearly 140 human tissues and cell lines, with the highest abundance in the oral epithelium and skin. Initially, MYDGF was found in bone marrow-derived monocytes and macrophages for cardioprotection and repair after myocardial infarction. Subsequent studies have shown that MYDGF plays an important role in other cardiovascular diseases (e.g., atherosclerosis and heart failure), metabolic disorders, renal disease, autoimmune/inflammatory disorders, and cancers. Although the underlying mechanisms have not been fully explored, the role of MYDGF in health and disease may involve cell apoptosis and proliferation, tissue repair and regeneration, anti-inflammation, and glycolipid metabolism regulation. In this review, we summarize the current progress in understanding the role of MYDGF in health and disease, focusing on its structure, function and mechanisms. The graphical abstract shows the current role of MYDGF in different organs and diseases (Fig. 1).

[PMID: 39014935 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.31372] [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: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024]
Abstract
Heart failure (HF) remains prevalent in patients who survived myocardial infarction (MI). Despite the accessibility of the primary percutaneous coronary intervention and medications that alleviate ventricular remodeling with functional improvement, there is an urgent need for clinicians and basic scientists to further reveal the mechanisms behind post-MI HF as well as investigate earlier and more efficient treatment after MI. Growing numbers of studies have highlighted the crucial role of macrophages in cardiac repair and remodeling following MI, and timely intervention targeting the immune response via macrophages may represent a promising therapeutic avenue. Recently, technology such as single-cell sequencing has provided us with an updated and in-depth understanding of the role of macrophages in MI. Meanwhile, the development of biomaterials has made it possible for macrophage-targeted therapy. Thus, an overall and thorough understanding of the role of macrophages in post-MI HF and the current development status of macrophage-based therapy will assist in the further study and development of macrophage-targeted treatment for post-infarction cardiac remodeling. This review synthesizes the spatiotemporal dynamics, function, mechanism and signaling of macrophages in the process of HF after MI, as well as discusses the emerging bio-materials and possible therapeutic agents targeting macrophages for post-MI HF.

Abstract
The adult mammalian cardiomyocyte has a limited capacity for self-renewal, which leads to the irreversible heart dysfunction and poses a significant threat to myocardial infarction patients. In the past decades, research efforts have been predominantly concentrated on the cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration. However, the heart is a complex organ that comprises not only cardiomyocytes but also numerous noncardiomyocyte cells, all playing integral roles in maintaining cardiac function. In addition, cardiomyocytes are exposed to a dynamically changing physical environment that includes oxygen saturation and mechanical forces. Recently, a growing number of studies on myocardial microenvironment in cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration is ongoing. In this review, we provide an overview of recent advances in myocardial microenvironment, which plays an important role in cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by inflammatory conditions in the gastrointestinal tract. According to reports, IBD prevalence is increasing globally, with heavy economic and physical burdens. Current IBD clinical treatment is limited to pharmacological methods; therefore, new strategies are needed. Myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) secreted by bone marrow-derived mononuclear macrophages has beneficial effects in multiple inflammatory diseases. To this end, the present study aimed to establish an experimental IBD mouse model using dextran sulfate sodium in drinking water. MYDGF significantly alleviated DSS-induced colitis, suppressed lymphocyte infiltration, restored epithelial integrity in mice, and decreased apoptosis in the colon tissue. Moreover, the number of M1 macrophages was decreased and that of M2 macrophages was increased by the action of MYDGF. In MYDGF-treated mice, the NF-κB and MAPK pathways were partially inhibited. Our findings indicate that MYDGF could mitigate DSS-induced mice IBD by reducing inflammation and restoring epithelial integrity through regulation of intestinal macrophage polarization via NF-κB and MAPK pathway inhibition. KEY MESSAGES: MYDGF alleviated DSS-induced acute colitis. MYDGF maintains colon epithelial barrier integrity and relieves inflammation. MYDGF regulates colon macrophage polarization. MYDGF partially inhibited the activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathway.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a complex process that occurs when blood flow is restored after myocardium infarction (MI) with exacerbated tissue damage. Macrophages, essential cell type of the immune response, play an important role in MIRI. Macrophage subpopulations, namely M1 and M2, are distinguished by distinct phenotypes and functions. In MIRI, macrophages infiltrate in infarcted area, shaping the inflammatory response and influencing tissue healing. Resident cardiac macrophages interact with monocyte-derived macrophages in MIRI, and influence injury progression. Key factors including chemokines, cytokines, and toll-like receptors modulate macrophage behavior in MIRI. This review aims to address recent findings on the classification and the roles of macrophages in the myocardium, spanning from MI to subsequent MIRI, and highlights various signaling pathways implicated in macrophage polarization underlining the complexity of MIRI. This article will shed light on developing advanced therapeutic strategies for MIRI management.

Abstract
Complete cardiac regeneration remains an elusive therapeutic goal. Although much attention has been focused on cardiomyocyte proliferation, especially in neonatal mammals, recent investigations have unearthed mechanisms by which non-cardiomyocytes, such as endothelial cells, fibroblasts, macrophages, and other immune cells, play critical roles in modulating the regenerative capacity of the injured heart. The degree to which each of these cell types influence cardiac regeneration, however, remains incompletely understood. This review highlights the roles of these non-cardiomyocytes and their respective contributions to cardiac regeneration, with emphasis on natural heart regeneration after cardiac injury during the neonatal period.

Abstract
Secretory myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) exerts beneficial effects on organ repair, probably via a plasma membrane receptor; however, the identity of the expected receptor has remained elusive. In a recent study, MYDGF was reported as an agonist of the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2), an A-class G protein-coupled receptor that mediates the functions of the signaling lipid, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). In the present study, we conducted living cell-based functional assays to test whether S1PR2 is a receptor for MYDGF. In the NanoLuc Binary Technology (NanoBiT)-based β-arrestin recruitment assay and the cAMP-response element (CRE)-controlled NanoLuc reporter assay, S1P could efficiently activate human S1PR2 overexpressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cells; however, recombinant human MYDGF, overexpressed either from Escherichia coli or HEK293 cells, had no detectable effect. Thus, the results demonstrated that human MYDGF is not a ligand of human S1PR2. Considering the high conservation of MYDGF and S1PR2 in evolution, MYDGF is also probably not a ligand of S1PR2 in other vertebrates.

Abstract
Myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) is a paracrine protein produced by bone marrow-derived monocytes and macrophages. Current research shows that it has protective effects on the cardiovascular system, such as repairing heart tissue after myocardial infarction, enhancing cardiomyocyte proliferation, improving cardiac regeneration after myocardial injury, regulating proliferation and survival of endothelial cells, reducing endothelial cell damage, resisting pressure overload-induced heart failure, as well as protecting against atherosclerosis. Furthermore, regarding the metabolic diseases, MYDGF has effects of improving type 2 diabetes mellitus, relieving non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, alleviating glomerular diseases, and resisting osteoporosis. Herein, we will discuss the biology of MYDGF and its effects on cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

Abstract
In the mammalian heart, cardiomyocytes are forced to withdraw from the cell cycle shortly after birth, limiting the ability of the heart to regenerate and repair. The development of multimodal regulation of cardiac proliferation has verified that pre-existing cardiomyocyte proliferation is an essential driver of cardiac renewal. With the continuous development of genetic lineage tracking technology, it has been revealed that cell cycle activity produces polyploid cardiomyocytes during the embryonic, juvenile, and adult stages of cardiogenesis, but newly formed mononucleated diploid cardiomyocytes also elevated sporadically during myocardial infarction. It implied that adult cardiomyocytes have a weak regenerative capacity under the condition of ischemia injury, which offers hope for the clinical treatment of myocardial infarction. However, the regeneration frequency and source of cardiomyocytes are still low, and the mechanism of regulating cardiomyocyte proliferation remains further explained. It is noteworthy to explore what force triggers endogenous cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration. Here, we focused on summarizing the recent research progress of emerging endogenous key modulators and crosstalk with other signaling pathways and furnished valuable insights into the internal mechanism of heart regeneration. In addition, myocardial transcription factors, non-coding RNAs, cyclins, and cell cycle-dependent kinases are involved in the multimodal regulation of pre-existing cardiomyocyte proliferation. Ultimately, awakening the myocardial proliferation endogenous modulator and regeneration pathways may be the final battlefield for the regenerative therapy of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Biodegradable guanidinium-functionalized polycarbonates kill cancer cells via membrane translocation without causing resistance after repeated use, but the exact molecular targets of the polycarbonates are unknown. Here, we investigate the protein targets of the polycarbonates through affinity-based protein profiling and report myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) as the main protein target. Direct binding of the polycarbonates to MYDGF protein is validated through biolayer interferometry. MYDGF is overexpressed in a range of cancer cells, and knockdown of MYDGF is shown to reduce cell proliferation in cancer cells. Through morphological profiling, we also identify similarities in phenotypic effects of the functionalized polycarbonates with topoisomerase I inhibitors, MDM2 inhibitors, and phosphatidylinositol 3kinase inhibitors against cancer cells, suggesting a common mechanism through the PIK3/AKT pathway leading to apoptosis. These findings present the first macromolecular compound targeting MYDGF and may serve as an example for MYDGF modulation as a potential new target for macromolecular chemotherapeutic development.

Abstract
Recently, we have shown that after partial hepatectomy (PHx), an increased hepatic blood flow initiates liver growth in mice by vasodilation and mechanically-triggered release of angiocrine signals. Here, we use mass spectrometry to identify a mechanically-induced angiocrine signal in human hepatic endothelial cells, that is, myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF). We show that it induces proliferation and promotes survival of primary human hepatocytes derived from different donors in two-dimensional cell culture, via activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). MYDGF also enhances proliferation of human hepatocytes in three-dimensional organoids. In vivo, genetic deletion of MYDGF decreases hepatocyte proliferation in the regenerating mouse liver after PHx; conversely, adeno-associated viral delivery of MYDGF increases hepatocyte proliferation and MAPK signaling after PHx. We conclude that MYDGF represents a mechanically-induced angiocrine signal and that it triggers growth of, and provides protection to, primary mouse and human hepatocytes.

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

Abstract
Tissue repair after myocardial infarction (MI) is guided by autocrine and paracrine-acting proteins. Deciphering these signals and their upstream triggers is essential when considering infarct healing as a therapeutic target. Here we perform a bioinformatic secretome analysis in mouse cardiac endothelial cells and identify cysteine-rich with EGF-like domains 2 (CRELD2), an endoplasmic reticulum stress-inducible protein with poorly characterized function. CRELD2 was abundantly expressed and secreted in the heart after MI in mice and patients. Creld2-deficient mice and wild-type mice treated with a CRELD2-neutralizing antibody showed impaired de novo microvessel formation in the infarct border zone and developed severe postinfarction heart failure. CRELD2 protein therapy, conversely, improved heart function after MI. Exposing human coronary artery endothelial cells to recombinant CRELD2 induced angiogenesis, associated with a distinct phosphoproteome signature. These findings identify CRELD2 as an angiogenic growth factor and unravel a link between endoplasmic reticulum stress and ischemic tissue repair.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is the greatest health burden and most frequent cause of death worldwide. Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion is the pathophysiological substrate of ischemic heart disease. Improvements in prevention and treatment of ischemic heart disease have reduced mortality in developed countries over the last decades, but further progress is now stagnant, and morbidity and mortality from ischemic heart disease in developing countries are increasing. Significant problems remain to be resolved and require a better pathophysiological understanding. The present review attempts to briefly summarize the state of the art in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion research, with a view on both its coronary vascular and myocardial aspects, and to define the cutting edges where further mechanistic knowledge is needed to facilitate translation to clinical practice.

Abstract
The infarcted heart undergoes irreversible pathological remodeling after reperfusion involving left ventricle dilation and excessive inflammatory reactions in the infarcted heart, frequently leading to fatal functional damage. Extensive attempts have been made to attenuate pathological remodeling in infarcted hearts using cardiac patches and anti-inflammatory drug delivery. In this study, we developed a paintable and adhesive hydrogel patch using dextran-aldehyde (dex-ald) and gelatin, incorporating the anti-inflammatory protein, ANGPTL4, into the hydrogel for sustained release directly to the infarcted heart to alleviate inflammation. We optimized the material composition, including polymer concentration and molecular weight, to achieve a paintable, adhesive hydrogel using 10% gelatin and 5% dex-ald, which displayed in-situ gel formation within 135 s, cardiac tissue-like modulus (40.5 kPa), suitable tissue adhesiveness (4.3 kPa), and excellent mechanical stability. ANGPTL4 was continuously released from the gelatin/dex-ald hydrogel without substantial burst release. The gelatin/dex-ald hydrogel could be conveniently painted onto the beating heart and degraded in vivo. Moreover, in vivo studies using animal models of acute myocardial infarction revealed that our hydrogel cardiac patch containing ANGPTL4 significantly improved heart tissue repair, evaluated by echocardiography and histological evaluation. The heart tissues treated with ANGPTL4-loaded hydrogel patches exhibited increased vascularization, reduced inflammatory macrophages, and structural maturation of cardiac cells. Our novel hydrogel system, which allows for facile paintability, appropriate tissue adhesiveness, and sustained release of anti-inflammatory drugs, will serve as an effective platform for the repair of various tissues, including heart, muscle, and cartilage.

Microglia Exhibit Distinct Heterogeneity Rather than M1/M2 Polarization within the Early Stage of Acute Ischemic Stroke. Aging Dis 2023; 14:2284-2302.

Abstract
The classification of microglial M1/M2 polarization in the acute phase of ischemic stroke remains controversial, which has limited further advances in neuroprotective strategy. To thoroughly assess the microglial phenotypes, we made the middle cerebral artery occlusion model in mice to simulate the acute pathological processes of ischemic stroke from normal conditions to acute cerebral ischemia and then to the early reperfusion period. The temporal changes in gene profiles, cell subtypes, and microglial function were comprehensively analyzed using single-cell RNA sequencing. We identified 37,614 microglial cells and divided them into eight distinct subpopulations. Mic_home, Mic_pre1, and Mic_pre2 subpopulations were three clusters mainly composed of cells from the control samples, in which Mic_home was a homeostatic subpopulation characterized by high expression of Hpgd and Tagap, and Mic_pre1 and Mic_pre2 were two clusters with preliminary inflammatory activation characteristics marked by P2ry13 and Wsb1 respectively. Mic_M1L1 and Mic_M1L2 subpopulations exhibited M1-like polarization manifested by the upregulation of inflammatory genes after ischemic stroke, while the intrinsic heterogeneity on the level of inflammatory responses and neurotrophic support properties was observed. Moreover, we identified three unique clusters of cells with low inflammation levels. Mic_np1, Mic_np2, and Mic_np3 were characterized by high expression of Arhgap45, Rgs10, and Pkm respectively. However, these cells did not show significant M2-like characteristics and their classic microglia function was also attenuated. These subpopulations exhibited higher activation of neuropeptide functional pathways. At last, we performed cell-cell communication analysis and identified major couplings contributing to the interaction between microglia and other cell populations. In summary, our study elucidated the temporal heterogeneity of microglia in the acute phase of ischemic stroke, which may facilitate the identification of effective neuroprotective targets to curb ischemic damage at an early stage.

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.

Abstract
Viral myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium, often leads to cardiac dysfunction and death. PARKIN (PRKN) and PINK1, well known as Parkinson's disease-associated genes, have been reported to be involved in innate immunity and mitochondrial damage control. Therefore, we investigated the role of parkin and PINK1 in coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced viral myocarditis because the etiology of myocarditis is related to abnormal immune response to viral infection and mitochondrial damage. After viral infection, the survival was significantly lower and myocardial damage was more severe in parkin knockout (KO) and PINK1 KO mice compared to wild-type (WT) mice. Parkin KO and PINK1 KO showed defective immune cell recruitment and impaired production of antiviral cytokines such as interferon-gamma, allowing increased viral replication. In addition, parkin KO and PINK1 KO mice were more susceptible to CVB3-induced mitochondrial damage than WT mice, resulting in susceptibility to viral-induced cardiac damage. Finally, using publicly available RNA-seq data, we found that pathogenic mutants of the PRKN gene are more common in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and myocarditis than in controls or the general population. This study will help elucidate the molecular mechanism of CVB3-induced viral myocarditis.

Inflammatory Cell-Derived MYDGF Attenuates Endothelial LDL Transcytosis to Protect Against Atherogenesis. Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 2023; 43:e443-e467. [PMID: 37767706 DOI: 10.1161/atvbaha.123.319905] [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: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. But little is known about the potential benefits of inflammatory cells to atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the function of inflammatory cells/endothelium axis and determine whether and how inflammatory cell-derived MYDGF (myeloid-derived growth factor) inhibited endothelial LDL (low-density lipoprotein) transcytosis. METHODS In in vivo experiments, both loss- and gain-of-function strategies were used to evaluate the effect of inflammatory cell-derived MYDGF on LDL transcytosis. We generated monocyte/macrophage-targeted MYDGF-null mice on an Ldlr (LDL receptor)-/- background in the loss-of-function strategy and restored the inflammatory cell-derived MYDGF by bone marrow transplantation and inflammatory cell-specific overexpression of MYDGF mice model in the gain-of-function strategy. In in vitro experiments, coculture experiments between primary mouse aortic endothelial cells and macrophages and mouse aortic endothelial cells supplemented with or without recombinant MYDGF were conducted. RESULTS Inflammatory cell-derived MYDGF deficiency aggravated endothelial LDL transcytosis, drove LDL uptake by artery wall, and thus exacerbated atherosclerosis in vivo. Inflammatory cell-derived MYDGF restoration by bone marrow transplantation and inflammatory cell MYDGF overexpression alleviated LDL transport across the endothelium, prevented LDL accumulation in the subendothelial space, and subsequently ameliorated atherosclerosis in vivo. Furthermore, in the in vitro study, macrophages isolated from MYDGF+/+ mice and recombinant MYDGF attenuated LDL transcytosis and uptake in mouse aortic endothelial cells. Mechanistically, MYDGF inhibited MAP4K4 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase isoform 4) phosphorylation, enhanced activation of Akt (protein kinase B)-1, and diminished the FoxO (forkhead box O) 3a signaling cascade to exert protective effects of MYDGF on LDL transcytosis and atherosclerosis. CONCLUSIONS The findings support a role for inflammatory cell-derived MYDGF served as a cross talk factor between inflammatory cells and endothelial cells that inhibits LDL transcytosis across endothelium. MYDGF may become a novel therapeutic drug for atherosclerosis, and the beneficial effects of inflammatory cell in atherosclerosis deserve further attention.

Abstract
Increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease and potentially life-threatening complications of myocardial infarction (MI) has led to emerging therapeutic approaches focusing on myocardial regeneration and restoration of physiologic function following infarction. Extracellular vesicle (EV) technology has gained attention owing to the biological potential to modulate cellular immune responses and promote the repair of damaged tissue. Also, EVs are involved in local and distant cellular communication following damage and play an important role in initiating the repair process. Vesicles derived from stem cells and cardiomyocytes (CM) are of particular interest due to their ability to promote cell growth, proliferation, and angiogenesis following MI. Although a promising candidate for myocardial repair, EV technology is limited by the short retention time of vesicles and rapid elimination by the body. There have been several successful attempts to address this shortcoming, which includes hydrogel technology for the sustained bioavailability of EVs. This review discusses and summarizes current understanding regarding EV technology in the context of myocardial repair.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers with a relatively high cancer-related mortality. The uncontrolled proliferation of HCC consumes a significant amount of oxygen, causing the development of a hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME). Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), crucial regulators in the TME, activate several cancer hallmarks leading to the hepatocarcinogenesis of HCC and resistance to current therapeutics. As such, HIFs and their signaling pathways have been explored as potential therapeutic targets for the future management of HCC. This review discusses the current understanding of the structure and function of HIFs and their complex relationship with the various cancer hallmarks. To address tumor hypoxia, this review provides an insight into the various potential novel therapeutic agents for managing HCC, such as hypoxia-activated prodrugs, HIF inhibitors, nanomaterials, antisense oligonucleotides, and natural compounds, that target HIFs/hypoxic signaling pathways in HCC. Because of HCC's relatively high incidence and mortality rates in the past decades, greater efforts should be put in place to explore novel therapeutic approaches to improve the outcome for HCC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is one of the crucial factors affecting the outcome of renal transplantation. In recent years, myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) has received a lot of attention for its extensive beneficial effects on cardiac repair and protection of cardiomyocytes from cell death. Therefore, we hypothesized that the recombinant human MYDGF (rhMYDGF) protein might play an essential role in safeguarding renal I/R injury. METHODS In vivo experiments were conducted using a mouse unilateral I/R model. Mice were pretreated with rhMYDGF by intraperitoneal injection to study the potential mechanism of renal protection. In vitro, we established hypoxia/reoxygenation and H 2 O 2 treatment models to pretreat cells with rhMYDGF. The expression levels of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis-related factors in tissues and cells were detected. Finally, we explored the role of the protein kinase B (Akt) pathway in the renal protective mechanism of rhMYDGF. RESULTS In this study, we found that intraperitoneal injection of 1.25 μg rhMYDGF could significantly improve renal function of I/R mice, and reduce oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. For the human proximal tubular epithelial cell line and human kidney cell line, pretreatment with 0.3 μg/mL rhMYDGF for 24 h significantly downregulated oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis via the phosphorylation of Akt, which could be ameliorated by LY294002. CONCLUSIONS rhMYDGF protects kidney from I/R injury by attenuating oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis through the activation of the Akt pathway.

Abstract
Whether bone marrow modulates systemic metabolism remains unknown. Our recent study suggested that myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) improves insulin resistance. Here, we found that myeloid cell-specific MYDGF deficiency aggravated hepatic inflammation, lipogenesis, and steatosis, and show that myeloid cell-derived MYDGF restoration alleviated hepatic inflammation, lipogenesis, and steatosis. Additionally, recombinant MYDGF attenuated inflammation, lipogenesis, and fat deposition in primary mouse hepatocytes (PMHs). Importantly, inhibitor kappa B kinase beta/nuclear factor-kappa B (IKKβ/NF-κB) signaling is involved in protection of MYDGF on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). These data revealed that myeloid cell-derived MYDGF alleviates NAFLD and inflammation in a manner involving IKKβ/NF-κB signaling, and serves as a factor involved in the crosstalk between the liver and bone marrow that regulates liver fat metabolism. Bone marrow functions as an endocrine organ and serves as a potential therapeutic target for metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Naturally-derived cell membranes have shown great promise in functionalizing nanoparticles to enhance biointerfacing functions for drug delivery applications. However, its potential for functionalizing macroporous scaffolds to enhance tissue regeneration in vivo remains unexplored. Engineering scaffolds with immunomodulatory functions represents an exciting strategy for tissue regeneration but is largely limited to soft tissues. Critical-sized bone defects cannot heal on their own, and the role of adaptive immune cells in scaffold-mediated healing of cranial bone defects remains largely unknown. Here, mensenchymal stem cell membrane (MSCM)-coated microribbon (µRB) scaffolds for treating critical size cranial bone defects via targeting immunomodulation are reported. Confocal imaging and proteomic analyses are used to confirm successful coating and characterize the compositions of cell membrane coating. It is demonstrated that MSCM coating promotes macrophage (Mφ) polarization toward regenerative phenotype, induces CD8+ T cell apoptosis, and enhances regulatory T cell differentiation in vitro and in vivo. When combined with a low dosage of BMP-2, MSCM coating further accelerates bone regeneration and suppresses inflammation. These results establish cell membrane-coated microribbon scaffolds as a promising strategy for treating critical size bone defects via immunomodulation. The platform may be broadly used with different cell membranes and scaffolds to enhance regeneration of multiple tissue types.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) induces a repair response that ultimately generates a stable fibrotic scar. Although the scar prevents cardiac rupture, an excessive profibrotic response impairs optimal recovery by promoting the development of noncontractile fibrotic areas. The mechanisms that lead to cardiac fibrosis are diverse and incompletely characterized. We explored whether the expansion of cardiac fibroblasts after MI can be regulated through a paracrine action of cardiac stromal cells. METHODS We performed a bioinformatic secretome analysis of cardiac stromal PW1+ cells isolated from normal and post-MI mouse hearts to identify novel secreted proteins. Functional assays were used to screen secreted proteins that promote fibroblast proliferation. The expressions of candidates were subsequently analyzed in mouse and human hearts and plasmas. The relationship between levels of circulating protein candidates and adverse post-MI cardiac remodeling was examined in a cohort of 80 patients with a first ST-segment-elevation MI and serial cardiac magnetic resonance imaging evaluations. RESULTS Cardiac stromal PW1+ cells undergo a change in paracrine behavior after MI, and the conditioned media from these cells induced a significant increase in the proliferation of fibroblasts. We identified a total of 12 candidates as secreted proteins overexpressed by cardiac PW1+ cells after MI. Among these factors, GDF3 (growth differentiation factor 3), a member of the TGF-β (transforming growth factor-β) family, was markedly upregulated in the ischemic hearts. Conditioned media specifically enriched with GDF3 induced fibroblast proliferation at a high level by stimulation of activin-receptor-like kinases. In line with the secretory nature of this protein, we next found that GDF3 can be detected in mice and human plasma samples, with a significant increase in the days after MI. In humans, higher GDF3 circulating levels (measured in the plasma at day 4 after MI) were significantly associated with an increased risk of adverse remodeling 6 months after MI (adjusted odds ratio, 1.76 [1.03-3.00]; P=0.037), including lower left ventricular ejection fraction and a higher proportion of akinetic segments. CONCLUSIONS Our findings define a mechanism for the profibrotic action of cardiac stromal cells through secreted cardiokines, such as GDF3, a candidate marker of adverse fibrotic remodeling after MI.

Abstract
Regenerating the injured heart remains one of the most vexing challenges in cardiovascular medicine. Cell therapy has shown potential for treatment of myocardial infarction, but low cell retention so far has limited its success. Here we show that intramyocardial injection of highly apoptosis-resistant unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSC) into infarcted rat hearts resulted in an unprecedented thickening of the left ventricular wall with cTnT+/BrdU+ cardiomyocytes that was paralleled by progressively restored ejection fraction. USSC induced significant T-cell enrichment in ischemic tissue with enhanced expression of T-cell related cytokines. Inhibition of T-cell activation by anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody, fully abolished the regenerative response which was restored by adoptive T-cell transfer. Secretome analysis of USSC and lineage tracing studies suggest that USSC secrete paracrine factors over an extended period of time which boosts a T-cell driven endogenous regenerative response mainly from adult cardiomyocytes.

Future regenerative medicine developments and their therapeutic applications. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 158:114131.

Abstract
Although the currently available pharmacological assays can cure most pathological disorders, they have limited therapeutic value in relieving certain disorders like myocardial infarct, peripheral vascular disease, amputated limbs, or organ failure (e.g. renal failure). Pilot studies to overcome such problems using regenerative medicine (RM) delivered promising data. Comprehensive investigations of RM in zebrafish or reptilians are necessary for better understanding. However, the precise mechanisms remain poorly understood despite the tremendous amount of data obtained using the zebrafish model investigating the exact mechanisms behind their regenerative capability. Indeed, understanding such mechanisms and their application to humans can save millions of lives from dying due to potentially life-threatening events. Recent studies have launched a revolution in replacing damaged human organs via different approaches in the last few decades. The newly established branch of medicine (known as Regenerative Medicine aims to enhance natural repair mechanisms. This can be done through the application of several advanced broad-spectrum technologies such as organ transplantation, tissue engineering, and application of Scaffolds technology (support vascularization using an extracellular matrix), stem cell therapy, miRNA treatment, development of 3D mini-organs (organoids), and the construction of artificial tissues using nanomedicine and 3D bio-printers. Moreover, in the next few decades, revolutionary approaches in regenerative medicine will be applied based on artificial intelligence and wireless data exchange, soft intelligence biomaterials, nanorobotics, and even living robotics capable of self-repair. The present work presents a comprehensive overview that summarizes the new and future advances in the field of RM.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI), as a result of thrombosis or vascular occlusion, is the most prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality among all cardiovascular diseases. The devastating consequences of MI are compounded by the complexities of cellular functions involved in the initiation and resolution of early-onset inflammation and the longer-term effects related to scar formation. The resultant tissue damage can occur as early as 1 h after MI and activates inflammatory signalling pathways to elicit an immune response. Macrophages are one of the most active cell types during all stages after MI, including the cardioprotective, inflammatory and tissue repair phases. In this Review, we describe the phenotypes of cardiac macrophage involved in MI and their cardioprotective functions. A specific subset of macrophages called resident cardiac macrophages (RCMs) are derived from yolk sac progenitor cells and are maintained as a self-renewing population, although their numbers decrease with age. We explore sophisticated sequencing techniques that demonstrate the cardioprotective properties of this cardiac macrophage phenotype. Furthermore, we discuss the interactions between cardiac macrophages and other important cell types involved in the pathology and resolution of inflammation after MI. We summarize new and promising therapeutic approaches that target macrophage-mediated inflammation and the cardioprotective properties of RCMs after MI. Finally, we discuss future directions for the study of RCMs in MI and cardiovascular health in general.

Abstract
Myocardial cell injury and following sequelae are the primary reasons for death globally. Unfortunately, myocardiocytes in adults have limited regeneration capacity. Therefore, the generation of neo myocardiocytes from non-myocardial cells is a surrogate strategy. Transcription factors (TFs) can be recruited to achieve this tremendous goal. Transcriptomic analyses have suggested that GATA, Mef2c, and Tbx5 (GMT cocktail) are master TFs to transdifferentiate/reprogram cell linage of fibroblasts, somatic cells, mesodermal cells into myocardiocytes. However, adding MESP1, MYOCD, ESRRG, and ZFPM2 TFs induces the generation of more efficient and physiomorphological features for induced myocardiocytes. Moreover, the same cocktail of transcription factors can induce the proliferation and differentiation of induced/pluripotent stem cells into myocardial cells. Amelioration of impaired myocardial cells involves the activation of healing transcription factors, which are induced by inflammation mediators; IL6, tumor growth factor β, and IL22. Transcription factors regulate the cellular and subcellular physiology of myocardiocytes to include mitotic cell cycling regulation, karyokinesis and cytokinesis, hypertrophic growth, adult sarcomeric contractile protein gene expression, fatty acid metabolism, and mitochondrial biogenesis and maturation. Cell therapy by transcription factors can be applied to cardiogenesis and ameliorating impaired cardiocytes. Transcription factors are the cornerstone in cell differentiation.

Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is distinguished by ventricular chamber expansion, systolic dysfunction, and normal left ventricular (LV) wall thickness, and is mainly caused due to genetic or environmental factors; however, its aetiology is undetermined in the majority of patients. The focus of this work is on pathogenesis, small animal models, as well as the herbal medicinal approach, and the most recent advances in imaging modalities for patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Several small animal models have been proposed over the last few years to mimic various pathomechanisms that contribute to dilated cardiomyopathy. Surgical procedures, gene mutations, and drug therapies are all characteristic features of these models. The pros and cons, including heart failure stimulation of extensively established small animal models for dilated cardiomyopathy, are illustrated, as these models tend to procure key insights and contribute to the development of innovative treatment techniques for patients. Traditional medicinal plants used as treatment in these models are also discussed, along with contemporary developments in herbal therapies. In the last few decades, accurate diagnosis, proper recognition of the underlying disease, specific risk stratification, and forecasting of clinical outcome, have indeed improved the health of DCM patients. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the bullion criterion for assessing ventricular volume and ejection fraction in a reliable and consistent direction. Other technologies, like strain analysis and 3D echocardiography, have enhanced this technique's predictive and therapeutic potential. Nuclear imaging potentially helps doctors pinpoint the causative factors of left ventricular dysfunction, as with cardiac sarcoidosis and amyloidosis.

Abstract
Heart regenerative medicine has been gradually evolving from a view of the heart as a nonregenerative organ with terminally differentiated cardiac muscle cells. Understanding the biology of the heart during homeostasis and in response to injuries has led to the realization that cellular communication between all cardiac cell types holds great promise for treatments. Indeed, recent studies highlight new disease-reversion concepts in addition to cardiomyocyte renewal, such as matrix- and vascular-targeted therapies, and immunotherapy with a focus on inflammation and fibrosis. In this review, we will discuss the cross-talk within the cardiac microenvironment and how specific therapies aim to target the hostile cardiac milieu under pathological conditions.

Role of Mydgf in the regulation of hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced apoptosis in cardiac microvascular endothelial cells. In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim 2022; 58:669-678.

Abstract
We aimed to explore the effects of myeloid-derived growth factor (Mydgf) on the regulation of hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR)-induced apoptosis of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs). CMECs were exposed to hypoxia for 24 h and reoxygenation for 6 h to establish an HR cell model. Subsequently, an adenovirus was used to overexpress Mydgf in CMECs. Flow cytometry and TUNEL staining were used to detect the extent of apoptosis, whereas qPCR was used to detect the relative expression of Mydgf mRNA. Western blotting was also performed to detect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related proteins, including C/EBP Homologous Protein (CHOP), glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP 78), and cleaved Caspase-12. The endoplasmic reticulum stress agonist tunicamycin (TM) was used to stimulate CMECs for 24 h as a rescue experiment for Mydgf. Flow cytometry revealed that the HR model effectively induced endothelial cell apoptosis, whereas qPCR and western blotting showed that Mydgf mRNA and protein levels decreased significantly after HR treatment (P < 0.05). Overexpression of Mydgf in cells effectively reduced apoptosis after HR. Furthermore, western blotting showed that HR induced a significant upregulation of CHOP, GRP78, and cleaved-Caspase-12 expression in CMECs, whereas HR-treated cells downregulated the expression of CHOP, GRP78, and cleaved-Caspase-12 after Mydgf overexpression. Under HR conditions, TM significantly reversed the protective effect of Mydgf on CMECs. Mydgf may reduce CMEC apoptosis induced by HR by regulating oxidative stress in ERS.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common cardiovascular disease that seriously endangers human health and complex pathophysiology (e.g., coronary artery obstruction, myocardial apoptosis, necrosis, inflammation, fibrosis, etc.) is involved. Therein, the loss of cardiomyocytes after MI in adults leads to gradual heart failure, which probably brings irreparable damage to the patient. Unfortunately, due to a cluster of limitations, currently used MI repair approaches always exhibit simple functions, low efficiency, and can hardly match the myocardial ischemia environment and clinical needs. In this study, we selected oncostatin M (OSM), a pleiotropic cytokine belonging to the interleukin-6 family that possesses an important role in cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation, cell proliferation, and regulation of inflammatory processes. Moreover, an injectable hydrogel with pH- and temperature-responsive behavior that can react with the acidic microenvironment of the ischemic myocardium was developed to deliver OSM locally. The functional hydrogel (poly (chitosan-co-citric acid-co-N-isopropyl acrylamide), P(CS-CA-NIPAM)) was fabricated by the facile reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization and can be injected into the lesion site directly. After the gelation in situ, the OSM-loaded hydrogel exhibited continuous and localized release of OSM in response to specific pH and changes in MI rats, thereby accelerating angiogenesis and proliferation of cardiomyocytes, inhibiting myocardial fibrosis and improving cardiac function effectively. This study may provide a new perspective for the application of dual-sensitive hydrogels clinically, especially in tissue engineering for MI repair and drug delivery.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a serious threat to people’s life and health, which is significantly hindered by effective treatment formulations. Interestingly, our recent endeavour of designing selenium-containing polymeric hydrogel has been experimentally proved to be helpful in combating inflammatory responses and treating MI. The design was inspired by selenium with anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosis activities, and the formulation could also serve as a support of myocardial tissue upon the failure of this function. In details, an injectable selenium-containing polymeric hydrogel, namely, poly[di-(1-hydroxylyndecyl) selenide/polypropylene glycol/polyethylene glycol urethane] [poly(DH-SE/PEG/PPG urethane)], was synthesised by combining a thermosensitive PPG block, DH-Se (which has oxidation-reduction properties), and hydrophilic PEG segments. Based on the established mouse model of MI, this formulation was experimentally validated to effectively promote the recovery of cardiac function. At the same time, we confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Masson staining and Western blotting that this formulation could inhibit inflammation and fibrosis, so as to significantly improve left ventricular remodelling. In summary, a selenium-containing polymeric hydrogel formulation analysed in the current study could be a promising therapeutic formulation, which can provide new strategies towards the effective treatment of myocardial infarction or even other inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
RATIONALE Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most dangerous adverse cardiovascular events. Our previous study found that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is increased in human peripheral blood after MI, and LPA has a protective effect on the survival and proliferation of various cell types. However, the role of LPA and its receptors in MI is less understood. OBJECTIVES To study the unknown role of LPA and its receptors in heart during MI. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, we found that mice also had elevated LPA level in peripheral blood, as well as increased cardiac expression of its receptor LPA2 in the early stages after MI. With adult and neonate MI models in global Lpar2 knockout (Lpar2-KO) mice, we found Lpar2 deficiency increased vascular leak leading to disruption of its homeostasis, so as to impaired heart function and increased early mortality. Histological examination revealed larger scar size, increased fibrosis, and reduced vascular density in the heart of Lpar2-KO mice. Furthermore, Lpar2-KO also attenuated blood flow recovery after femoral artery ligation with decreased vascular density in gastrocnemius. Our study revealed that Lpar2 was mainly expressed and altered in cardiac endothelial cells during MI, and use of endothelial-specific Lpar2 knockout mice phenocopied the global knockout mice. Additionally, adenovirus-Lpar2 and pharmacologically activated LPA2 significantly improved heart function, reduced scar size, increased vascular formation, and alleviated early mortality by maintaining vascular homeostasis owing to protecting vessels from leakage. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that LPA-LPA2 signaling could promote endothelial cell proliferation through PI3K-Akt/PLC-Raf1-Erk pathway and enhanced endothelial cell tube formation via PKD1-CD36 signaling. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that endothelial LPA-LPA2 signaling promotes angiogenesis and maintains vascular homeostasis, which is vital for restoring blood flow and repairing tissue function in ischemic injuries. Targeting LPA-LPA2 signal might have clinical therapeutic potential to protect the heart from ischemic injury.

Abstract
Effective tissue repair after myocardial infarction entails a vigorous angiogenic response, guided by incompletely defined immune cell-endothelial cell interactions. We identify the monocyte- and macrophage-derived cytokine METRNL (meteorin-like) as a driver of postinfarction angiogenesis and high-affinity ligand for the stem cell factor receptor KIT (KIT receptor tyrosine kinase). METRNL mediated angiogenic effects in cultured human endothelial cells through KIT-dependent signaling pathways. In a mouse model of myocardial infarction, METRNL promoted infarct repair by selectively expanding the KIT-expressing endothelial cell population in the infarct border zone. Metrnl-deficient mice failed to mount this KIT-dependent angiogenic response and developed severe postinfarction heart failure. Our data establish METRNL as a KIT receptor ligand in the context of ischemic tissue repair.

Abstract
Podocytes are unique, highly specialized, terminally differentiated cells, which are restricted in a post-mitotic state with limited ability to repair or regenerate. Re-entering mitotic phase causes podocyte mitotic catastrophe, thereby leading to podocyte death and glomerular injury. Myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) is a novel secreted protein and plays an important role on the regulation of cardiovascular function. However, whether MYDGF is expressed in kidney parenchymal cells and whether it has biological functions in the kidney remain unknown. Here, we found that MYDGF was expressed in kidney parenchymal cells and was significantly reduced in podocytes from mice with models of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diabetic kidney disease. Podocyte-specific deletion of MYDGF in mice exacerbated podocyte injury and proteinuria in both disease models. Functionally, MYDGF protected podocytes against mitotic catastrophe by reducing accumulation of podocytes in S phase, a portion of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated. Mechanistically, MYDGF regulates the expression of the transcription factor RUNX2 which mediates part of MYDGF effects. Importantly, a significant reduction of MYDGF was found in glomeruli from patients with glomerular disease due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diabetic kidney disease and the level of MYDGF was correlated with glomerular filtration rate, serum creatinine and podocyte loss. Thus, our studies indicate that MYDGF may be an attractive therapeutic target for glomerular disease.

Abstract
Most patients survive acute myocardial infarction (MI). Yet this encouraging development has certain drawbacks: heart failure (HF) prevalence is increasing and patients affected tend to have more comorbidities worsening economic strain on healthcare systems and impeding effective medical management. The heart’s pathological changes in structure and/or function, termed myocardial remodelling, significantly impact on patient outcomes. Risk factors like diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, female sex, and others distinctly shape disease progression on the ‘road to HF’. Despite the availability of HF drugs that interact with general pathways involved in myocardial remodelling, targeted drugs remain absent, and patient risk stratification is poor. Hence, in this review, we highlight the pathophysiological basis, current diagnostic methods and available treatments for cardiac remodelling following MI. We further aim to provide a roadmap for developing improved risk stratification and novel medical and interventional therapies.

Abstract
Background Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a cardioprotective phenomenon, yet transient ischemia is not a requisite trigger for remote cardioprotection. In fact, RIC is a stimulus compound containing interruption of the blood vessel and tissue compression. In this study, we evaluate the effects of remote tissue compression on infarct size after myocardial infarction and explore its preliminary mechanisms. Methods and Results We used a murine model of myocardial infarction to assess ischemia injury and identified remote conditioning by rhythmic compression on forelimb as a novel cardioprotective intervention. We show that the cardioprotective signal transduction of remote conditioning from the trigger limb to the heart involves the release of adenosine. Our results demonstrate that A2a and A2b receptors are indispensable parts for cardioprotection of remote conditioning, which is linked to its anti-inflammatory properties by the subsequent activation of cAMP/PKA/NF-κB axis. Conclusion Our results establish a new connection between remote tissue compression and cardiovascular diseases, which enhances our cognition about the role of tissue compression on RIC cardioprotection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Currently, no effective therapy is available to completely stop or reverse CKD progression targeting its key feature, loss of peritubular capillaries (PTCs) leading to interstitial fibrosis, while Myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) with tissue-repairing activities enlightened its therapeutic potential. However, the extremely short circulatory lifetime (15 minutes) restricts its applications. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We selected a tandem repeated (TR) region of human CD164 as a carrier to fuse with MYDGF and investigated the biophysical and pharmacokinetic changes. The MYDGF164 bioactivities were validated in HUVECs and assessed in HK-2 cells. Then, we investigated its efficacy in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO)-treated mice and adenine-induced CKD rats. KEY RESULTS MYDGF164 was intensively modified with sialoglycans, improving its resistance to serum proteases and increasing hydrodynamic radius. The half-life of MYDGF164 was significantly prolonged. MYDGF164 retained the original cell proliferation, anti-apoptosis, and tubulogenesis activities. It selectively stimulated the proliferation in endothelial and epithelial cells through phosphorylating MAPK1/3. MYDGF164 alleviated capillary rarefaction, hypoxia, renal fibrosis, and tubular atrophy in the UUO mice and adenine-induced CKD rats. Moreover, MYDGF164 restored renal function with normalized creatinine and urea levels in adenine-induced CKD rats. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry results revealed that the protection of MYDGF164 was related to its cell-proliferative, anti-apoptosis, and angiogenesis activities. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS This study is the first successful example of using a tandem repeated region of hCD164 as a cargo protein for the pharmacokinetic improvement of therapeutic proteins. Our findings also suggest the potential of MYDGF164 in alleviating renal fibrosis in CKD.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy, initiated by a variety of physiological or pathological stimuli (hemodynamic or hormonal stimulation or infarction), is a critical early adaptive compensatory response of the heart. The structural basis of the progression from compensated hypertrophy to pathological hypertrophy and heart failure is still largely unknown. In most cases, early activation of an inflammatory program reflects a reparative or protective response to other primary injurious processes. Later on, regardless of the underlying etiology, heart failure is always associated with both local and systemic activation of inflammatory signaling cascades. Cardiac macrophages are nodal regulators of inflammation. Resident macrophages mostly attenuate cardiac injury by secreting cytoprotective factors (cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors), scavenging damaged cells or mitochondrial debris, and regulating cardiac conduction, angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and fibrosis. In contrast, excessive recruitment of monocyte-derived inflammatory macrophages largely contributes to the transition to heart failure. The current review examines the ambivalent role of inflammation (mainly TNFα-related) and cardiac macrophages (Mφ) in pathophysiologies from non-infarction origin, focusing on the protective signaling processes. Our objective is to illustrate how harnessing this knowledge could pave the way for innovative therapeutics in patients with heart failure.
