Abstract
Exercise has well-recognized beneficial effects on the whole body. Previous studies suggest that exercise could promote tissue regeneration and repair in various organs. In this review, we have summarized the major effects of exercise on tissue regeneration primarily mediated by stem cells and progenitor cells in skeletal muscle, nervous system, and vascular system. The protective function of exercise-induced stem cell activation under pathological conditions and aging in different organs have also been discussed in detail. Moreover, we have described the primary molecular mechanisms involved in exercise-induced tissue regeneration, including the roles of growth factors, signaling pathways, oxidative stress, metabolic factors, and non-coding RNAs. We have also summarized therapeutic approaches that target crucial signaling pathways and molecules responsible for exercise-induced tissue regeneration, such as IGF1, PI3K, and microRNAs. Collectively, the comprehensive understanding of exercise-induced tissue regeneration will facilitate the discovery of novel drug targets and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Myocardial fibrosis (MF), a common event that develops after myocardial infarction, initially is a reparative process but eventually leads to heart failure and sudden cardiac arrest. In MF, the infarct area is replaced by a collagenous-based scar induced by "excessive" collagen deposition from activated cardiac fibroblasts. The scar prevents ventricular wall thinning; however, over time it expands to noninfarcted myocardium. Therapies to prevent fibrosis include reperfusion, anti-fibrotic agents, and ACE inhibitors. Paracrine factor (PF)/stem cell research has recently gained significance as a therapy. We consistently find that cardiac inducing colonies (CiCs) (derived from human germline pluripotent stem cells) secrete PFs at physiologically relevant concentrations that suppress cardiac fibroblast activation and excessive extracellular matrix protein secretion. These factors also affect human cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells by inducing migration/proliferation of both populations into a myocardial wound model. Finally, CiC factors modulate matrix turnover and proinflammation. Taking the results together, we show that CiCs could help tip the balance from fibrosis toward repair.

Abstract
Exercise training has been widely recognized as a healthy lifestyle as well as an effective non-drug therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Functional and mechanistic studies that employ animal exercise models as well as observational and interventional cohort studies with human participants, have contributed considerably in delineating the essential signaling pathways by which exercise promotes cardiovascular fitness and health. First, this review summarizes the beneficial impact of exercise on multiple aspects of cardiovascular health. We then discuss in detail the signaling pathways mediating exercise's benefits for cardiovascular health. The exercise-regulated signaling cascades have been shown to confer myocardial protection and drive systemic adaptations. The signaling molecules that are necessary for exercise-induced physiological cardiac hypertrophy have the potential to attenuate myocardial injury and reverse cardiac remodeling. Exercise-regulated noncoding RNAs and their associated signaling pathways are also discussed in detail for their roles and mechanisms in exercise-induced cardioprotective effects. Moreover, we address the exercise-mediated signaling pathways and molecules that can serve as potential therapeutic targets ranging from pharmacological approaches to gene therapies in CVD. We also discuss multiple factors that influence exercise's effect and highlight the importance and need for further investigations regarding the exercise-regulated molecules as therapeutic targets and biomarkers for CVD as well as the cross talk between the heart and other tissues or organs during exercise. We conclude that a deep understanding of the signaling pathways involved in exercise's benefits for cardiovascular health will undoubtedly contribute to the identification and development of novel therapeutic targets and strategies for CVD.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:929030. [PMID: 35845066 PMCID: PMC9283924 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.929030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis is a common pathological feature in cardiac remodeling. This study aimed to explore the role of KDM5A in cardiac fibrosis via bioinformatics analysis. Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) were harvested and cultured from 10 dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients who underwent heart transplantation. Western blotting was applied to verify that KDM5A is regulated by angiotensin II (Ang II) via the PI3k/AKT signaling pathway. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed by transcriptomics. ChIP-seq and ChIP-qPCR were used to identify the genes bound by KDM5A. In integrative analysis, weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to identify highly relevant gene modules. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed for the key genes in modules. The STRING database, Cytoscape, and MCODE were applied to construct the protein–protein interaction (PPI) network and screen hub genes. To verify the expression of DEGs regulated by KDM5A, Western blotting and immunofluorescence were performed in myocardial tissue samples. Immunofluorescence verified the vimentin positivity of CFs. Ang II upregulated the expression of KDM5A in CFs via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. GO analysis of DEGs indicated that regulation of vasoconstriction, extracellular region, and calcium ion binding were enriched when KDM5A interfered with CPI or Ang II. KEGG analysis of the DEGs revealed the involvement of ECM-receptor interaction, focal adhesion, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, cell adhesion, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy pathways. Three hub genes (IGF1, MYH11, and TGFB3) were identified via four different algorithms. Subsequent verification in patient samples demonstrated that the hub genes, which were regulated by KDM5A, were downregulated in DCM samples. KDM5A is a key regulator in the progression of cardiac fibrosis. In this successful integrative analysis, IGF1, MYH11, and TGFB3 were determined to be coordinately expressed to participate in cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
Extracellular DNA may serve as marker in liquid biopsies to determine individual diagnosis and prognosis in cancer patients. Cell death or active release from various cell types, including immune cells can result in the release of DNA into the extracellular milieu. Neutrophils are important components of the innate immune system, controlling pathogens through phagocytosis and/or the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs also promote tumor progression and metastasis, by modulating angiogenesis, anti-tumor immunity, blood clotting and inflammation and providing a supportive niche for metastasizing cancer cells. Besides neutrophils, other immune cells such as eosinophils, dendritic cells, monocytes/macrophages, mast cells, basophils and lymphocytes can also form extracellular traps (ETs) during cancer progression, indicating possible multiple origins of extracellular DNA in cancer. In this review, we summarize the pathomechanisms of ET formation generated by different cell types, and analyze these processes in the context of cancer. We also critically discuss potential ET-inhibiting agents, which may open new therapeutic strategies for cancer prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Recent evidences have shown that exercise training not only plays a necessary role in maintaining cardiac homeostasis, but also promotes cardiac repair after myocardial infarction. Post-myocardial infarction, exercise training has been observed to effectively increase the maximum cardiac output, and protect myocardial cells against necrosis and apoptosis, thus leading to an improved quality of life of myocardial infarction patients. In fact, exercise training has received more attention as an adjunct therapeutic strategy for both treatment and prevention of myocardial infarction. This review summarizes the experimental evidence of the effects of exercise training in ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction, and tries to provide theoretical basis along with suitable references for the exercise prescription aimed at prevention and therapy of myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Polycaprolactone (PCL) has been widely used as a scaffold material for tissue engineering. Reliable applications of the PCL scaffolds require overcoming their native hydrophobicity and obtaining the sustained release of signaling factors to modulate cell growth and differentiation. Here, we report a surface modification strategy for electrospun PCL nanofibers using an azide-terminated amphiphilic graft polymer. With multiple alkylation and pegylation on the side chains of poly-L-lysine, stable coating of the graft polymer on the PCL nanofibers was achieved in one step. Using the azide-alkyne “click chemistry”, we functionalized the azide-pegylated PCL nanofibers with dibenzocyclooctyne-modified nanocapsules containing growth factor, which rendered the nanofiber scaffold with satisfied cell adhesion and growth property. Moreover, by specific immobilization of pH-responsive nanocapsules containing bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), controlled release of active BMP-2 from the PCL nanofibers was achieved within 21 days. When bone mesenchyme stem cells were cultured on this nanofiber scaffold, enhanced ossification was observed in correlation with the time-dependent release of BMP-2. The established surface modification can be extended as a generic approach to hydrophobic nanomaterials for longtime sustainable release of multiplex signaling proteins for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Conventional therapies involving surgery or pharmacological strategies have shown limited therapeutic effects due to a lack of cardiac tissue repair. Gene therapy has opened an avenue for the treatment of cardiac diseases through manipulating the underlying gene mechanics. Several gene therapies for cardiac diseases have been assessed in clinical trials, while the clinical translation greatly depends on the delivery technologies. Non-viral vectors are attracting much attention due to their safety and facile production compared to viral vectors. In this review, we discuss the recent progress of non-viral gene therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, with a particular focus on myocardial infarction (MI). Through a summary of delivery strategies with which to target cardiac tissue and different cardiac cells for MI treatment, this review aims to inspire new insights into the design/exploitation of non-viral delivery systems for gene cargos to promote cardiac repair/regeneration.

Abstract
Background Studies of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) as a novel therapy for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases have proven promising. However, elevated IGF-1 levels have also been associated with poor patient outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. IGF-1 therapy has additionally been shown to not be beneficial in the percutaneous coronary intervention setting. Although IGF-1 activation of the PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 pathways have been demonstrated as cardioprotective, other cellular mechanisms have not been fully investigated. Methods Neonatal rat cardiac myocytes (NCMs) and fibroblasts (NCFs) were isolated from 1 to 2-day old pups using enzymatic digestion. NCMs and NCFs were pre-treated with IGF binding protein 6, inhibitors for the PI3K/Akt Wortmannin, ERK1/2 U0126, Rho Associated Protein Kinase (ROCK) GSK576371, Apoptosis Signal-regulating Kinase-1 (ASK-1) G2261818A, and p38MAPK RWJ67657 pathways before stimulation with IGF-1 for 62 and 50 h, respectively. Cardiac myocyte hypertrophy and fibroblast collagen synthesis were determined by 3H-leucine and 3H-proline incorporation, respectively. Results IGF-1 dose-dependently stimulated NCM hypertrophy and NCF collagen synthesis.Treatment with IGFBP6 and the kinase inhibitors, Wortmannin, U0126, GSK576371, G2261818A and RWJ67657 significantly inhibited IGF-1 stimulated NCM hypertrophy and NCF collagen synthesis. Conclusion This study is the first to demonstrate that IGF-1 treatment in NCMs and NCFs activates the ROCK, ASK-1 and p38MAPK pathways. Future research may be guided by consideration of the PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 pathways potentially increasing collagen synthesis, and the utilisation of a biased agonist to reduce activation of the ROCK, ASK-1 and p38MAPK pathways to maximise cardioprotective benefit whilst mitigating risks.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:26018-26029.

Abstract
This work assessed the impact of biodiesel impurities on CeO2 catalyst for soot combustion via soot-TPO experiments. The results showed that Na- and K-doped catalysts were assisted for soot combustion, while Ca- and P-doped catalysts had a negative effect. N2 adsorption-desorption and XRD results indicated that doping biodiesel impurities led to smaller surface area by blocking small pores. Surface chemical properties are suggested as major reasons for promoting soot combustion by means of XPS, H2-TPR, and O2-TPD. Na- and K-doped catalysts showed stronger redox ability and surface lattice oxygen mobility, poorly for Ca- and P-doped catalysts. Interestingly, a large number of surface oxygen species were observed on P-doped catalyst and it enhanced the ignition of bio soot. In the presence of NO, surface chemical properties including NOx storage/release capacity and NO oxidation ability were characterized by NO-adsorption DRIFTS, NO-TPO and NOx-desorption DRIFTS, alkali-doped catalyst with excellent NOx storage capacity that can release active oxygen species and gaseous NO2 accelerate heterogeneous soot combustion, and the poor NO conversion ability to NO2 that weakens the promotion effect of soot combustion. Particularly in the existence of P, the promotion effect of soot elimination in NO + O2 was further weakened by the reason of poor NOx storage capacity and NO oxidation ability.

Design and Evaluation of Rhein-Based MRI Contrast Agents for Visualization of Tumor Necrosis Induced by Combretastatin A-4 Disodium Phosphate. Mol Imaging Biol 2020; 23:220-229. [PMID: 33048270 DOI: 10.1007/s11307-020-01551-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2020] [Revised: 09/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Visualization of tumor necrosis can determine tumor response to therapy. Our previous study showed that the rhein-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent with alkane linker (GdL2) could clearly image tumor necrosis. However, its water solubility and cell safety needed to be improved. Herein, three rhein-based MRI agents with ether or lysine linkers were designed. PROCEDURES Three rhein-based MRI agents were synthesized with a tetracarbon ether (GdP1), a hexacarbon ether (GdP2), and a lysine (GdP3) linker, respectively. Their octanol-water partition coefficients (log P) and cytotoxicity were determined. Necrosis avidity of the leading agent was explored on HepG2 cells and ischemia reperfusion-induced liver necrosis (IRLN) rats by MRI. The effect of visualization of tumor necrosis was tested on nude mice with W256 tumor treated by combretastatin-A4 phosphate (CA4P). DNA binding assays were applied to evaluate the possible necrosis-avidity mechanism of the leading agent. RESULTS The log P of three agents (- 1.66 ± 0.09, - 1.74 ± 0.01, - 1.95 ± 0.01) decreased when compared with GdL2, indicating higher water solubility. GdP1 not only presented lower cytotoxicity and good necrotic affinity in vitro and in vivo, but also can be fast excreted by renal. According to MRI results of tumor, distinct visualization of tumor necrosis can be discernible from 3 to 4.5 h post-injection of GdP1. In DNA-binding assays, the fluorescence quenching constant KSV (1.00 × 104 M-1) and the ultraviolet binding constant Kb (1.11 × 104 M-1) suggested that GdP1 may bind to DNA through intercalation. CONCLUSION GdP1 may serve as a potential candidate for early evaluation of tumor response to CA4P treatment.

Abstract
Cell death plays a prominent role in the treatment of cancer, because most anticancer therapies act by the induction of cell death including apoptosis, necrosis, and other pathways of cell death. Imaging cell death helps to identify treatment responders from nonresponders and thus enables patient-tailored therapy, which will increase the likelihood of treatment response and ultimately lead to improved patient survival. By taking advantage of molecular probes that specifically target the biomarkers/biochemical processes of cell death, cell death imaging can be successfully achieved. In recent years, with the increased understanding of the molecular mechanism of cell death, a variety of well-defined biomarkers/biochemical processes of cell death have been identified. By targeting these established cell death biomarkers/biochemical processes, a set of molecular imaging probes have been developed and evaluated for early monitoring treatment response in tumors. In this review, we mainly present the recent advances in identifying useful biomarkers/biochemical processes for both apoptosis and necrosis imaging and in developing molecular imaging probes targeting these biomarkers/biochemical processes, with a focus on their application in early evaluation of tumor response to therapy.

Abstract
Novel advances for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) include regenerative approaches for fibrosis, hypertrophy, and neoangiogenesis. Studies indicate that growth factor (GF) signaling could promote heart repair since most of the evidence is derived from preclinical models. Observational studies have evaluated GF serum/plasma levels as feasible biomarkers for risk stratification of CVDs. Noteworthy, two clinical interventional published studies showed that the administration of growth factors (GFs) induced beneficial effect on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), myocardial perfusion, end-systolic volume index (ESVI). To date, large scale ongoing studies are in Phase I-II and mostly focussed on intramyocardial (IM), intracoronary (IC) or intravenous (IV) administration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) which result in the most investigated GFs in the last 10 years. Future data of ongoing randomized controlled studies will be crucial in understanding whether GF-based protocols could be in a concrete way effective in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Regenerative therapies based on injectable biomaterials, hold an unparalleled potential for treating myocardial ischemia. Yet, noninvasive evaluation of their efficacy has been lagging behind. Here, we report the development and longitudinal application of multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate a hydrogel-based cardiac regenerative therapy. A pH-switchable hydrogel was loaded with slow releasing insulin growth factor 1 and vascular endothelial growth factor, followed by intramyocardial injection in a mouse model of ischemia reperfusion injury. Longitudinal cardiac MRI assessed three hallmarks of cardiac regeneration: angiogenesis, resolution of fibrosis and (re)muscularization after infarction. The multiparametric approach contained dynamic contrast enhanced MRI that measured improved vessel features by assessing fractional blood volume and permeability*surface area product, T1-mapping that displayed reduced fibrosis, and tagging MRI that showed improved regional myocardial strain in hydrogel treated infarcts. Finally, standard volumetric MRI demonstrated improved left ventricular functioning in hydrogel treated mice followed over time. Histology confirmed MR-based vessel features and fibrotic measurements. Our novel triple-marker strategy enabled detection of ameliorated regeneration in hydrogel treated hearts highlighting the translational potential of these longitudinal MRI approaches.

Abstract
Cell death plays important roles in living organisms and is a hallmark of numerous disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, sepsis and acute pancreatitis. Moreover, cell death also plays a pivotal role in the treatment of certain diseases, for example, cancer. Noninvasive visualization of cell death contributes to gained insight into diseases, development of individualized treatment plans, evaluation of treatment responses, and prediction of patient prognosis. On the other hand, cell death can also be targeted for the treatment of diseases. Although there are many ways for a cell to die, only apoptosis and necrosis have been extensively studied in terms of cell death related theranostics. This review mainly focuses on molecular imaging and therapeutic strategies directed against necrosis. Necrosis shares common morphological characteristics including the rupture of cell membrane integrity and release of cellular contents, which provide potential biomarkers for visualization of necrosis and necrosis targeted therapy. In the present review, we summarize the updated joint efforts to develop molecular imaging probes and therapeutic strategies targeting the biomarkers exposed by necrotic cells. Moreover, we also discuss the challenges in developing necrosis imaging probes and propose several biomarkers of necrosis that deserve to be explored in future imaging and therapy research.

Abstract
Cardiac diseases, characterized by cardiomyocyte loss, lead to dramatic impairment of cardiac function and ultimately to congestive heart failure. Despite significant advances, conventional treatments do not correct the defects in cardiac muscle cell numbers and the prognosis of congestive heart failure remains poor. The existence, in adult mammalian heart, of low but detectable cardiomyocyte proliferative capacities has shifted the target of regenerative therapy toward new therapeutical strategy. Indeed, the stimulation of terminally differentiated cardiomyocyte proliferation represents the main therapeutic approach for heart regeneration. Increasing evidence demonstrating that the loss of mammalian cardiomyocyte renewal potential shortly after birth causes the loss of regenerative capacities, strongly support the hypothesis that a detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling fetal and postnatal cardiomyocyte proliferation is essential to identify targets for cardiac regeneration. Here, we will review major developmental mechanisms regulating fetal cardiomyocyte proliferation and will describe the impact of the developmental switch, operating at birth and driving postnatal heart maturation, on the regulation of adult cardiomyocyte proliferation, all these mechanisms representing potential targets for cardiac repair and regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polaprezinc is clinically used for the treatment of gastric ulcers. It induces the mobilization of mesenchymal stem cells and the mRNA expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 in vascular endothelial cells in order to protect injured gastric tissue or skin. METHODS The current study population included 50 patients with primary acute myocardial infarction (AMI). After percutaneous coronary intervention, the subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups, namely, the nonpolaprezinc and polaprezinc groups. Peripheral blood and urinary samples were collected in a specific time to analyze zinc concentration, cardiac enzymes, and the levels of the inflammation marker interleukin-6. To evaluate the cardiac function, echocardiography was performed upon admission to the hospital and at 9 months post-AMI. RESULTS The urine and blood zinc levels of the polaprezinc group were higher compared with those of the non-polaprezinc group at 8 days after percutaneous coronary intervention. The mean interleukin-6/maximal creatine phosphokinase level was significantly reduced in the polaprezinc group (0.024 [0.003-0.066] vs. 0.076 [0.015-0.212], respectively; P = .045). In addition, echocardiography revealed that the ejection fraction of the nonpolaprezinc group was not significantly increased between day 3 and 9 months post-AMI (53 [49-60.8] vs. 59.5 [52-69.3], respectively; P = .015). However, a significant increase was detected in the ejection fraction of the polaprezinc group at the 2 time points (54 [51-57] vs. 62 [55-71], respectively; P < .01). CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study suggest that polaprezinc has an anti-inflammatory effect and improves cardiac function after AMI.

Abstract
The present study was conducted in order to improve gene expression efficiency of insulin‑like growth factor‑1 (IGF‑1)‑transfected mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) using a non‑viral carrier and a simplified method of dual gene selection. The therapeutic efficacy of this MSC‑based IGF‑1/enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) dual gene sorting system was evaluated in a rat myocardial infarction (MI) model. IGF‑1 and EGFP genes were expressed in MSCs in vitro. The purity of dual gene‑expressing MSCs was 95.1% by fluorescence‑activated cell sorting. Transfected MSCs injected into rats were identified based on green fluorescence, with an increased signal intensity observed in rats injected with sorted cells, compared with unsorted cells. IGF‑1 expression levels were additionally increased in the sorted group, and decreases in infarct size, fibrotic area and fraction of apoptotic cells were observed. These results demonstrated that IGF‑1 overexpression protects against fibrosis and apoptosis in the myocardium and reduces infarct size following MI. Additionally, the present vector sorting system may potentially be applied to other types of stem cell‑based gene therapy.

Abstract
The benefits of exercise on the heart are well recognized, and clinical studies have demonstrated that exercise is an intervention that can improve cardiac function in heart failure patients. This has led to significant research into understanding the key mechanisms responsible for exercise-induced cardiac protection. Here, we summarize molecular mechanisms that regulate exercise-induced cardiac myocyte growth and proliferation. We discuss in detail the effects of exercise on other cardiac cells, organelles, and systems that have received less or little attention and require further investigation. This includes cardiac excitation and contraction, mitochondrial adaptations, cellular stress responses to promote survival (heat shock response, ubiquitin-proteasome system, autophagy-lysosomal system, endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response, DNA damage response), extracellular matrix, inflammatory response, and organ-to-organ crosstalk. We summarize therapeutic strategies targeting known regulators of exercise-induced protection and the challenges translating findings from bench to bedside. We conclude that technological advancements that allow for in-depth profiling of the genome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome, combined with animal and human studies, provide new opportunities for comprehensively defining the signaling and regulatory aspects of cell/organelle functions that underpin the protective properties of exercise. This is likely to lead to the identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for heart disease.

Preclinical Evaluation of Radioiodinated Hoechst 33258 for Early Prediction of Tumor Response to Treatment of Vascular-Disrupting Agents. CONTRAST MEDIA & MOLECULAR IMAGING 2018; 2018:5237950. [PMID: 29681781 PMCID: PMC5846351 DOI: 10.1155/2018/5237950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2017] [Revised: 10/17/2017] [Accepted: 12/04/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the use of 131I-Hoechst 33258 (131I-H33258) for early prediction of tumor response to vascular-disrupting agents (VDAs) with combretastatin-A4 phosphate (CA4P) as a representative. Necrosis avidity of 131I-H33258 was evaluated in mouse models with muscle necrosis and blocking was used to confirm the tracer specificity. Therapy response was evaluated by 131I-H33258 SPECT/CT imaging 24 h after CA4P therapy in W256 tumor-bearing rats. Radiotracer uptake in tumors was validated ex vivo using γ-counting, autoradiography, and histopathological staining. Results showed that 131I-H33258 had predominant necrosis avidity and could specifically bind to necrotic tissue. SPECT/CT imaging demonstrated that an obvious “hot spot” could be observed in the CA4P-treated tumor. Ex vivo γ-counting revealed 131I-H33258 uptake in tumors was increased 2.8-fold in rats treated with CA4P relative to rats treated with vehicle. Autoradiography and corresponding H&E staining suggested that 131I-H33258 was mainly localized in necrotic tumor area and the higher overall uptake in the treated tumors was attributed to the increased necrosis. These results suggest that 131I-H33258 can be used to image induction of cell necrosis 24 h after CA4P therapy, which support further molecular design of probes based on scaffold H33258 for monitoring of tumor response to VDAs treatment.

Abstract
Rapid detection and precise evaluation of myocardial viability is necessary to aid in clinical decision making whether to recommend revascularization for patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Three novel 18F-labeled 1-hydroxyanthraquinone derivatives were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated as potential necrosis avid imaging agents for assessment of myocardial viability. Among these tracers, [18F]FA3OP emerged as the most promising compound with best stability and highest targetability. Clear PET images of [18F]FA3OP were obtained in rat model of myocardial infarction and reperfusion at 1 h after injection. In addition, the possible mechanisms of [18F]FA3OP for necrotic myocardium were discussed. The results showed [19F]FA3OP may bind DNA to achieve targetability to necrotic myocardium by intercalation. In summary, [18F]FA3OP was a more promising "hot spot imaging" tracer for rapid visualization of necrotic myocardium.

Intravenous delivery of adeno-associated virus 9-encoded IGF-1Ea propeptide improves post-infarct cardiac remodelling. NPJ Regen Med 2016; 1:16001.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor Ea propeptide (IGF-1Ea) is a powerful enhancer of cardiac muscle growth and regeneration, also blocking age-related atrophy and beneficial in multiple skeletal muscle diseases. The therapeutic potential of IGF-1Ea compared with mature IGF-1 derives from its local action in the area of synthesis. We have developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector for IGF-1Ea delivery to the heart to treat mice after myocardial infarction and examine the reparative effects of local IGF-1Ea production on left ventricular remodelling. A cardiotropic AAV9 vector carrying a cardiomyocyte-specific IGF-1Ea-luciferase bi-cistronic gene expression cassette (AAV9.IGF-1Ea) was administered intravenously to infarcted mice, 5 h after ischemia followed by reperfusion (I/R), as a model of myocardial infarction. Virally encoded IGF-1Ea in the heart improved global left ventricular function and remodelling, as measured by wall motion and thickness, 28 days after delivery, with higher viral titers yielding better improvement. The present study demonstrates that single intravenous AAV9-mediated IGF-1Ea Gene Therapy represents a tissue-targeted therapeutic approach to prevent the adverse remodelling after myocardial infarct.

Abstract
Nanoparticles represent an attractive option for systemic delivery of therapeutic compounds to the heart following myocardial infarction. However, it is well known that physicochemical properties of nanoparticles such as size, shape and surface modifications can vastly alter the distribution and uptake of injected nanoparticles. Therefore, we aimed to provide an examination of the rapid size-dependent uptake of fluorescent PEG-modified polystyrene nanoparticles administered immediately following cardiac ischaemia-reperfusion injury in mice. By assessing the biodistribution of nanoparticles with core diameters between 20 nm and 2 μm 30 minutes after their administration, we conclude that 20-200 nm diameter nanoparticles are optimal for passive targeting of the injured left ventricle.

Abstract
Injectable nanomaterials have been designed for the treatment of myocardial infarction, particularly during the acute stages of inflammation and injury. Among these strategies, injectable nanofibrous hydrogel networks or nanoparticle complexes may be delivered alone or with a therapeutic to improve heart function. Intramyocardial delivery of these materials localizes treatments to the site of injury. As an alternative, nanoparticles may be delivered intravenously, which provides the ultimate minimally invasive approach. These systems take advantage of the leaky vasculature after myocardial infarction, and may be designed to specifically target the injured region. The translational applicability of both intramyocardial and intravenous applications may provide safe and effective solutions upon optimizing the timing of the treatments and biodistribution.
