Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington's disease (HD), stroke, and aneurysms, are characterized by the abnormal accumulation and aggregation of disease-causing proteins in the brain and spinal cord. Recent research suggests that proteins linked to these conditions can be secreted and transferred among cells using exosomes. The transmission of abnormal protein buildup and the gradual degeneration in the brains of impacted individuals might be supported by these exosomes. Furthermore, it has been reported that neuroprotective functions can also be attributed to exosomes in neurodegenerative diseases. The potential neuroprotective functions may play a role in preventing the formation of aggregates and abnormal accumulation of proteins associated with the disease. The present review summarizes the roles of exosomes in neurodegenerative diseases as well as elucidating their therapeutic potential in AD, PD, ALS, HD, stroke, and aneurysms. By elucidating these two aspects of exosomes, valuable insights into potential therapeutic targets for treating neurodegenerative diseases may be provided.

[PMID: 38644519 PMCID: PMC11033292 DOI: 10.1002/jev2.12442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Intra- and inter-organismal interactions play a crucial role in the maintenance and function of individuals, as well as communities. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as effective mediators for the communication both within and between species. They can carry and transport molecular cargoes to transmit biological messages. Several databases (ExoBCD, ExoCarta, EVpedia, EV-TRACK, Vesiclepedia) complied the cargoes information including DNA, RNA, protein, lipid and metabolite associated with EVs. Databases that refer to the complete records on both donor and recipient information are warranted to facilitate the understanding of the interaction across cells and species. In this study, we developed a database that compiled the records equipped with a structured process of EV-mediated interaction. The sources of donor and recipient were classified by cell type, tissues/organs and species, thus providing an extended knowledge of cell-cell, species-species interaction. The isolation and identification methods were presented for assessing the quality of EVs. Information on functional cargoes was included, where microRNA was linked to a prediction server to broaden its potential effects. Physiological and pathological context was marked to show the environment where EVs functioned. At present, a total of 1481 data records in our database, including 971 cell-cell interactions belonging to more than 40 different tissues/organs, and 510 cross-species records. The database provides a web interface to browse, search, visualize and download the interaction records. Users can search for interactions by selecting the context of interest or specific cells/species types, as well as functional cargoes. To the best of our knowledge, the database is the first comprehensive database focusing on interactions between donor and recipient cells or species mediated by EVs, serving as a convenient tool to explore and validate interactions. The Database, shorten as EV-COMM (EV mediated communication) is freely available at http://sdc.iue.ac.cn/evs/list/ and will be continuously updated.

Abstract
Macrophages activation and inflammatory response play crucial roles in intracranial aneurysm (IA) formation and progression. The outcome of ruptured IA is considerably poor, and the mechanisms that trigger IA progression and rupture remain to be clarified, thereby developing effective therapy to prevent subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) become difficult. Recently, climbing evidences have been expanding our understanding of the macrophages relevant IA pathogenesis, such as immune cells population, inflammatory activation, intra-/inter-cellular signaling transductions and drug administration responses. Crosstalk between macrophages disorder, inflammation and cellular signaling transduction aggravates the devastating consequences of IA. Illustrating the pros and cons mechanisms of macrophages in IA progression are expected to achieve more efficient treatment interventions. In this review, we summarized the current advanced knowledge of macrophages activation, infiltration, polarization and inflammatory responses in IA occurrence and development, as well as the most relevant NF-κB, signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) and Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) regulatory signaling modulation. The understanding of macrophages regulatory mechanisms is important for IA patients' clinical outcomes. Gaining insight into the macrophages regulation potentially contributes to more precise IA interventions and will also greatly facilitate the development of novel medical therapy.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), one of the most abundant immune cell types in the tumor microenvironment (TME), account for approximately 50% of the local hematopoietic cells. TAMs play an important role in tumorigenesis and tumor development through crosstalk between various immune cells and cytokines in the TME. Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles with a diameter of 50-150 nm, that can transfer biological information (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids) from secretory cells to recipient cells through the circulatory system, thereby influencing the progression of various human diseases, including cancer. Recent studies have suggested that TAMs-derived exosomes play crucial roles in malignant cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, immune responses, drug resistance, and tumor metabolic reprogramming. TAMs-derived exosomes have the potential to be targeted for tumor therapy. In addition, the abnormal expression of non-coding RNAs and proteins in TAMs-derived exosomes is closely related to the clinicopathological features of patients with cancer, and these exosomes are expected to become new liquid biopsy markers for the early diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of tumors. In this review, we explored the role of TAMs-derived exosomes in tumorigenesis to provide new diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cancer prevention.

Abstract
Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a severe cerebrovascular disease characterized by abnormal bulging of cerebral vessels that may rupture and cause a stroke. The expansion of the aneurysm accompanies by the remodeling of vascular matrix. It is well-known that vascular remodeling is a process of synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM), which is highly dependent on the phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). The phenotypic switching of VSMC is considered to be bidirectional, including the physiological contractile phenotype and alternative synthetic phenotype in response to injury. There is increasing evidence indicating that VSMCs have the ability to switch to various phenotypes, including pro-inflammatory, macrophagic, osteogenic, foamy and mesenchymal phenotypes. Although the mechanisms of VSMC phenotype switching are still being explored, it is becoming clear that phenotype switching of VSMCs plays an essential role in IA formation, progression, and rupture. This review summarized the various phenotypes and functions of VSMCs associated with IA pathology. The possible influencing factors and potential molecular mechanisms of the VSMC phenotype switching were further discussed. Understanding how phenotype switching of VSMC contributed to the pathogenesis of unruptured IAs can bring new preventative and therapeutic strategies for IA.

Abstract
In concert with hijacking key genes to drive tumor progression, cancer cells also have the unique ability to dynamically interact with host microenvironment and discreetly manipulate the surrounding stroma, also known as the tumor microenvironment (TME), to provide optimal conditions for tumor cells to thrive and evade host immunity. Complex cellular crosstalk and molecular signaling between cancer cells, surrounding non-malignant cells, and non-cellular components are involved in this process. While intercellular communication traditionally centers around chemokines, cytokines, inflammatory mediators, and growth factors, emerging pathways involving extracellular vesicles (EVs) are gaining increasing attention. The immunosuppressive TME is created and maintained in part by the large abundance of tumor-associated macrophages (TMAs), which are associated with drug resistance, poor prognosis, and have emerged as potential targets for cancer immunotherapy. TMAs are highly dynamic, and can be polarized into either M1 or M2-like macrophages. EVs are efficient cell-cell communication molecules that have been catapulted to the center of TMA polarization. In this article, we provide detailed examination of the determinative role of EVs in sustaining the TME through mediating crosstalk between tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages.

Abstract
Background Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which form a large part of the tumor microenvironment, are normally regulated by metabolic reprogramming. However, the potential mechanisms of the immune-metabolism interaction between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and TAMs remain unclear. Methods The candidate long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were screened by Smart-seq based scRNA-seq method and then validated by qPCR. Immunostaining analysis was done to examine the levels of markers for TAMs and glycolysis. Exosomes from primary TAMs of human HCC tissues were isolated by centrifugation, and their internalization with lncRNAs was confirmed by immunofluorescence. The underlying mechanism of TAMs-derived exosomal lncRNA to HCC was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation. Metabolism regulation was evaluated through glucose consumption, lactate productions and extracellular acidification rates (ECARs). Mouse xenograft models were used to elucidate the in vivo effect of candidate lncRNAs on tumor growth. Results TAMs augment the aerobic glycolysis in HCC cells and their proliferation by the extracellular exosome transmission of a myeloid-derived lncRNA, M2 macrophage polarization associated lncRNA (lncMMPA). Mechanistically, lncMMPA not only could polarize M2 macrophage, but also could act as an microRNA sponge to interact with miR-548 s and increase the mRNA level of ALDH1A3, then further promote glucose metabolism and cell proliferation in HCC. Moreover, lncMMPA increased HCC cell multiplication through interacting with miR-548 s in vivo. Clinically, lncMMPA expression associates with glycolysis in TAMs and reduced survival of HCC patients. Conclusion LncMMPA plays an important role in regulating HCC malignancy and metabolic reprogramming of miR-548 s/ALDH1A3 pathway.

Abstract
Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is an abnormal expression in the intracranial arteries, which is related to the growth and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Circular RNA (circRNA) circ_0021001 (also named circARFIP2) has been identified to mediate the regulation of VSMCs proliferation. However, the molecular mechanism of circ_0021001 involved in VSMC dysfunction in IA is poorly defined. The expression levels of circ_0021001, microRNA-148b-3p (miR-148b-3p), and Gremlin 1 (GREM1) were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell viability, proliferation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis were detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), and flow cytometry assays. Protein levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), p21, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 related X protein (Bax), and GREM1 were examined by western blot assay. The binding relationship between miR-148b-3p and circ_0021001 or GREM1 was predicted by StarBase and then verified using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. The expression levels of circ_0021001 and GREM1 were increased, and that of miR-148b-3p was decreased in IA tissues and HUASMCs. Moreover, the downregulation of circ_0021001 could repress proliferation ability and induce apoptosis of HUASMCs. The mechanical analysis uncovered that circ_0021001 served as a sponge of miR-148b-3p to regulate GREM1 expression. Circ_0021001 silencing could suppress cell growth and induce apoptosis of HUASMCs partially through modulating the miR-148b-3p/GREM1, presented circ_0021001 as a promising therapeutic target for IA.

Abstract
Macrophages (Mφs), as immune cells, play a pivotal role against pathogens and many diseases, such as cancer, inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, orthopedic diseases, and metabolic disorders. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from Mφs (M-sEVs) play important roles in these diseases, suggesting that Mφs carry out their physiological functions through sEVs. This paper reviews the mechanisms underlying M-sEVs production via different forms of polarization and their biological functions in multiple diseases. In addition, the prospects of M-sEVs in disease diagnosis and treatment are described.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a serious cerebrovascular disease. The identification of key regulatory genes can provide research directions for early diagnosis and treatment of IA. METHODS Initially, the miRNA and mRNA data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Subsequently, the limma package in R was used to screen for differentially expressed genes. In order to investigate the function of the differentially expressed genes, a functional enrichment analysis was performed. Moreover, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to identify the hub module and hub miRNAs. The correlations between miRNAs and mRNAs were assessed by constructing miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks. In addition, in vitro validation was performed. Finally, diagnostic analysis and electronic expression verification were performed on the GSE122897 dataset. RESULTS In the present study, 955 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs, 480 with increased and 475 with decreased expression) and 46 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs, 36 with increased and 10 with decreased expression) were identified. WGCNA demonstrated that the yellow module was the hub module. Moreover, 16 hub miRNAs were identified. A total of 1,124 negatively regulated miRNA-mRNA relationship pairs were identified. Functional analysis demonstrated that DEmRNAs in the targeted network were enriched in vascular smooth muscle contraction and focal adhesion pathways. In addition, the area under the curve of 16 hub miRNAs was >0.8. It is implied that 16 hub miRNAs may be used as potential diagnostic biomarkers of IA. CONCLUSION Hub miRNAs and key signaling pathways were identified by bioinformatics analysis. This evidence lays the foundation for understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of IA and provided potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of this disease.

Abstract
Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysm (IA). This study investigated the molecular mechanism of exosomal miR-144-5p (ex-miR-144-5p) and PTEN in IA. Ex-miR-144-5p expression was assessed in serum from individuals with ruptured intracranial aneurysm (RA) or unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UA), and healthy controls (HC). Vascular endothelial cells (VECs) were co-cultured with exosomes isolated from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with transfection of miR-144-5p mimic or miR-144-5p inhibitor. IA rats were induced by combing systemic hypertension and intrathecal elastase injection. VECs were transfected with miR-144-5p mimic or inhibitor to verify the impacts of miR-144-5p on cell viability and proliferation. The connection between miR-144-5p and PTEN was verified by luciferase activity assay. Our data proved that ex-miR-144-5p was decreased in both UA and RA patients. MiR-144-5p overexpression in MSCs-derived exosome promoted VEC viability, inhibited VEC proliferation of VEs, and decreased the protein levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and osteopontin (OPN). IA rats injected with ex-miR-144-5p mimic showed significant luminal dilation, declined smooth muscle layers, and thinned vascular wall. Besides, inhibited cell apoptosis and decreased protein expressions were also observed. However, ex-miR-144-5p inhibitor had the opposite effects both in vivo and in vitro. We validated that miR-144-5p directly targeted PTEN. MiR-144-5p mimic increased cell viability and proliferation and reduced protein expressions, which could be blunted by PTEN overexpression. This study suggests that miR-144-5p elevates PTEN expression, thereby boosting apoptosis and attenuating viability of VECs in IA.

Abstract
The occurrence of radioresistance is a clinical obstacle to endometrial cancer (EC) treatment and induces tumor relapse. In this study, we found that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) enriched in EC specimens were determined to present an M2-like phenotype. In vitro, the coculture of M2-polarized macrophages significantly downregulated the radiosensitivity of EC cells by releasing exosomes. Hsa_circ_0001610 was found to be abundant in exosomes derived from M2-polarized macrophages (EXOs), and hsa_circ_0001610 knockdown eliminated the reduction effect of EXOs on the radiosensitivity of EC cells. The following mechanism research revealed that hsa_circ_0001610 functioned as the competing endogenous RNA of miR-139-5p, thereby upregulating cyclin B1 expression, which is a vital pusher of radioresistance in several types of cancer by regulating the cell cycle. Hsa_circ_0001610 overexpression reduced the radiosensitivity of EC cells, which was then reversed by miR-139-5p overexpression. In vivo, the promotion effect of EXOs on xenograft tumor growth in nude mice treated with irradiation was further reinforced after hsa_circ_0001610 overexpression. In conclusion, TAM-derived exosomes transferred hsa_circ_0001610 to EC cells, and the overexpressed hsa_circ_0001610 in EC cells released cyclin B1 expression through adsorbing miR-139-5p, thereby weakening the radiosensitivity of EC cells.

Abstract
Background Abnormal accumulation of macrophages in the colon cancer (CC) contribute to its progression. miR-183-5p has been confirmed as an oncogene in CC and this article explores the effect and mechanism of exosomal miR-183-5p enriched by M2-polarized tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) on CC cells. Methods The human macrophage THP1 was induced to M2 polarization through IL-4 and IL-13 treatment. Exosomes in THP1 were isolated through ultracentrifugation, and the miR-183-5p expression in macrophages and exosomes was verified by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The miR-183-5p inhibitors and mimics were applied to down-regulate and upregulate miR-183-5p in macrophages, respectively. Meanwhile, CC cell lines LoVo and SW480 were treated with the macrophage conditioned medium and exosomes, respectively. CC cells’ proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis were tested by the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry (FCM), Transwell assay, and xenograft assay, respectively. The profiles of thioesterase superfamily member 4 (THEM4), Akt, and NF-κB were compared by Western blotting (WB). Results The miR-183-5p level in M2-TAM and M2-TAM-derived exosomes was significantly increased. Meanwhile, M2-TAM and M2-TAM-derived exosomes significantly facilitated CC cell proliferation and invasion and dampened apoptosis. Overexpression of miR-183-5p in M2-TAM aggravated M2-TAM-mediated promotive effects on CC cells, with down-regulating miR-183-5p reversed M2-TAM-mediated tumor-promotive effects. Mechanically, miR-183-5p targeted THEM4 and inhibited its mRNA and protein expression. Overexpressing THEM4 abated miR-183-5p-mediated carcinogenic effects and inactivates Akt and NF-κB pathways in CC cells. Overall, this article elaborated that exosomal miR-183-5p shuttled by M2-TAM mediated Akt/NF-κB pathway to accelerate CC progression through targeting THEM4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early diagnosis of intracranial aneurysm (IA) is arduous in the current situation, and no biomarker is available for the screening of IA. We here systematically evaluate the diagnostic value of circulating non-coding RNA (ncRNA) for the diagnosis of IA. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases from inception to June 2020. We included studies that investigated the diagnostic performance of circulating ncRNAs for the diagnosis of IA. We performed Random-effect meta-analyses for the diagnostic test accuracy to calculate pooled estimates. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were conducted to explore the source of heterogeneity. RESULTS Thirteen studies, including 1,105 patients and 28 ncRNAs, were included. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.76-0.83) and 0.80 (95% CI, 0.76-0.84), respectively, and the area under the hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.87 (95% CI, 0.84-0.89). The pooled positive and negative likelihood ratios were 3.97 (95% CI, 3.17-4.98) and 0.25 (95% CI, 0.21-0.31), corresponding with a diagnostic odds ratio of 15.63 (95% CI, 10.41-23.47). Subgroup analyses revealed that the diagnostic accuracy of miRNA, lncRNA and circRNA were not significantly different (p > 0.05). Circulating ncRNAs showed higher diagnostic accuracy for patients with unruptured IA than those with ruptured IA (p = 0.0122). CONCLUSION Current evidence suggests that the circulating ncRNA test could be an effective method for universal IA screening. Future clinical studies need to confirm the diagnostic role of specific ncRNAs.

Abstract
Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles containing diverse bioactive molecules. They play essential roles in mediating bidirectional interplay between cancer and stromal cells. Specific elements are selected into different types of exosomes via various mechanisms, including microRNAs (miRNAs), a subset of non-coding RNA that could epigenetically reprogram cells and modulate their activities. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are two major types of stromal cells inhibiting immune response and facilitating tumor progression. Notably, accumulated studies provided critical evidence regarding the significance of exosomal miRNA–mediated intercellular crosstalk between cancer cells with TAMs and CAFs for tumor progression. This review aimed to summarize the current knowledge of cell–cell interactions between stromal and cancer cells conveyed by exosome-derived miRNAs. The findings might help find effective therapeutic targets of cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been revealed to be involved in cerebrovascular diseases, while the role of HDAC9 in intracranial aneurysm (IA) remains seldom studied. We aim to explore the role of the HDAC9/microRNA-92a (miR-92a)/Bcl-2-like protein 11 (BCL2L11) axis in IA progression. METHODS Expression of HDAC9, miR-92a and BCL2L11 in IA tissues was assessed. IA rat models were established by ligation of left renal artery and common carotid artery, and the rats were respectively injected with relative plasmid vectors and/or oligonucleotides. The blood pressure was measured to estimate the IA degree, and the pathological changes were observed. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was detected, and the levels of inflammatory factors were evaluated. Expression of apoptosis-related proteins, HDAC9, miR-92a and BCL2L11 was assessed. RESULTS HDAC9 and BCL2L11 were upregulated while miR-92a was downregulated in IA clinical samples and rat models. HDAC9 inhibition or miR-92a elevation improved pathological changes and repressed apoptosis and expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, VEGF and inflammatory factors in vascular tissues from IA rats. Oppositely, HDAC9 overexpression or miR-92a reduction had contrary effects. miR-92a downregulation reversed the effect of silenced HDAC9 on IA rats. CONCLUSION HDAC9 inhibition upregulates miR-92a to repress the progression of IA via silencing BCL2L11.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) curb important biological functions. We previously disclosed that ischemia-reperfusion (IR) induces increased release of EVs (IR-EVs) in the heart. However, the role of IR-EVs in IR pathological process remains poorly understood. Here we found that adoptive transfer of IR-EVs aggravated IR induced heart injury, and EV inhibition by GW4869 reduced the IR injury. Our in vivo and in vitro investigations substantiated that IR-EVs facilitated M1-like polarization of macrophages with increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines. Further, we disclosed the miRNA profile in cardiac EVs and confirmed the enrichment of miRNAs, such as miR-155-5p in IR-EVs compared to EVs from the sham heart (S-EVs). In particular, IR-EVs transferred miR-155-5p to macrophages and enhanced the inflammatory response through activating JAK2/STAT1 pathway. Interestingly, IR-EVs not only boosted the local inflammation in the heart, but even triggered systemic inflammation in distant organs. Taken together, we newly identify an IR-EVs-miR-155-5p-M1 polarization axis in the heart post IR. The EVs derived from IR-injured heart contribute to both local and systemic inflammation. Importantly, EV inhibition by GW4869 is supposed to be a promising therapeutic strategy for IR injury.

Endogenous animal models of intracranial aneurysm development: a review. Neurosurg Rev 2021; 44:2545-2570. [PMID: 33501561 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-021-01481-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2020] [Revised: 01/05/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The pathogenesis and natural history of intracranial aneurysm (IA) remains poorly understood. To this end, animal models with induced cerebral vessel lesions mimicking human aneurysms have provided the ability to greatly expand our understanding. In this review, we comprehensively searched the published literature to identify studies that endogenously induced IA formation in animals. Studies that constructed aneurysms (i.e., by surgically creating a sac) were excluded. From the eligible studies, we reported information including the animal species, method for aneurysm induction, aneurysm definitions, evaluation methods, aneurysm characteristics, formation rate, rupture rate, and time course. Between 1960 and 2019, 174 articles reported endogenous animal models of IA. The majority used flow modification, hypertension, and vessel wall weakening (i.e., elastase treatment) to induce IAs, primarily in rats and mice. Most studies utilized subjective or qualitative descriptions to define experimental aneurysms and histology to study them. In general, experimental IAs resembled the pathobiology of the human disease in terms of internal elastic lamina loss, medial layer degradation, and inflammatory cell infiltration. After the early 2000s, many endogenous animal models of IA began to incorporate state-of-the-art technology, such as gene expression profiling and 9.4-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in vivo imaging, to quantitatively analyze the biological mechanisms of IA. Future studies aimed at longitudinally assessing IA pathobiology in models that incorporate aneurysm growth will likely have the largest impact on our understanding of the disease. We believe this will be aided by high-resolution, small animal, survival imaging, in situ live-cell imaging, and next-generation omics technology.

[PMID: 33242525 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2020.118800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2020] [Revised: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Circ_0020397 has been found to be down-regulated in intracranial aneurysm (IA), and deregulation of circ_0020397 involved in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation. However, the mechanism by which circ_0020397 implicates in VSMC dysfunction in IA remains vague. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expression of circ_0020397, miR-502-5p and Gremlin 1 (GREM1) was detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cell viability was analyzed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Protein levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and GREM1 were measured using western blot. The interaction between miR-502-5p and circ_0020397 or GREM1 was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter, RNA pull-down and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. KEY FINDINGS Circ_0020397 or GREM1 expression was decreased in VSMCs isolated from IA patients, and overexpression of circ_0020397 or GREM1 promoted VSMC viability and elevated PCNA expression level, while inhibition of them showed opposite effects. MiR-502-5p was confirmed to directly bind to circ_0020397 or GREM1, and miR-502-5p reversed the effects of circ_0020397 on VSMC viability and PCNA level. Besides, miR-502-5p overexpression suppressed VSMC viability and reduced PCNA level, while these effects were attenuated by GREM1 up-regulation. Importantly, circ_0020397 could regulate GREM1 expression via miR-502-5p in VSMCs. SIGNIFICANCE Circ_0020397 played an important role in phenotypic modulation in IA by promoting VSMC viability via miR-502-5p/GREM1 axis, suggesting a novel insight into IA pathogenesis and new targets for IA molecular therapy.

Abstract
Macrophages (Mφ) are primary innate immune cells that exhibit diverse functions in response to different pathogens or stimuli, and they are extensively involved in the pathology of various diseases. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small vesicles released by live cells. As vital messengers, macrophage-derived EVs (Mφ-EVs) can transfer multiple types of bioactive molecules from macrophages to recipient cells, modulating the biological function of recipient cells. In recent years, Mφ-EVs have emerged as vital mediators not only in the pathology of multiple diseases such as inflammatory diseases, fibrosis and cancers, but also as mediators of beneficial effects in immunoregulation, cancer therapy, infectious defense, and tissue repair. Although many investigations have been performed to explore the diverse functions of Mφ-EVs in disease pathology and intervention, few studies have comprehensively summarized their detailed biological roles as currently understood. In this review, we briefly introduced an overview of macrophage and EV biology, and primarily focusing on current findings and future perspectives with respect to the pathological and therapeutic effects of Mφ-EVs in various diseases.

Abstract
Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is an abnormal focal dilation of an artery in the brain that results from a weakening of the inner muscular layer of a blood vessel wall. IAs represent the most common etiology of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Despite technological advances in the treatment and use of new diagnostic methods for IAs, they continue to pose a significant risk of mortality and disability. Thus, early recognition of IA with a high risk of rupture is crucial for the stratification of patients with such a formidable disease. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are endogenous noncoding RNAs of 18-22 nucleotides that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through interaction with 3'-untranslated regions (3'UTRs) of the target mRNAs. MiRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of IAs, including in the mechanisms of formation, growth, and rupture. It is known that in many biological fluids of the human body, such as blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), numerous miRNAs, called circulating miRNAs, have been detected. The expression profile of circulating miRNAs represents a certain part of the cells in which they are modified and secreted in accordance with the physiological or pathological conditions of these cells. Circulating miRNAs can be secreted from cells into human biological fluids in extracellular vesicles or can be bound to Ago2 protein, which makes them resistant to the effects of RNAse. Therefore, circulating miRNAs are considered as new potential biomarkers of interest in many diseases, including IA.

Abstract
Emerging shreds of evidence suggest that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) modulate various hallmarks of cancer during tumor progression. Tumor microenvironment (TME) prime TAMs to execute important roles in cancer development and progression, including angiogenesis, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) secretion, and extracellular matrix (ECM) disruption. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical epigenetic regulators, which modulate various functions in diverse types of cells, including macrophages associated with TME. In this review article, we provide an update on miRNAs regulating differentiation, maturation, activation, polarization, and recruitment of macrophages in the TME. Furthermore, extracellular miRNAs are secreted from cancerous cells, which control macrophages phenotypic plasticity to support tumor growth. In return, TAMs also secrete various miRNAs that regulate tumor growth. Herein, we also describe the recent updates on the molecular connection between tumor cells and macrophages. A better understanding of the interaction between miRNAs and TAMs will provide new pharmacological targets to combat cancer.

Abstract
Background Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the aggressive gastrointestinal malignancies. It has been reported that microRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles during the tumorigenesis of EC. To identify novel potential targets for EC, differential expressed miRNAs (DEG) between EC and adjacent normal tissues were analyzed with bioinformatics tool. Methods The differential expression of miRNAs between EC and adjacent normal tissues was analyzed. CCK-8 and Ki67 staining were used to detect the cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was performed to test the cell apoptosis. The correlation between miR-7-5p and KLF4 was detected by dual-luciferase report assay. Gene and protein expression in EC cells or in tissues were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell migration and invasion were detected with transwell assay. Xenograft mice model was established to investigate the role of miR-7-5p in EC tumorigenesis in vivo. Results MiR-7-5p was found to be negatively correlated with the survival rate of patient with EC. In addition, downregulation of miR-7-5p significantly inhibited the growth and invasion of EC cells. Meanwhile, miR-7-5p directly targeted KLF4 in EC cells. Moreover, downregulation of miR-7-5p inhibited the tumorigenesis of EC via inactivating MAPK signaling pathway in vivo. Conclusion Downregulation of miR-7-5p notably suppressed the progression of EC via targeting KLF4. Thus, miR-7-5p might serve as a new target for the treatment of EC.

An Y, Yang Q. MiR-21 modulates the polarization of macrophages and increases the effects of M2 macrophages on promoting the chemoresistance of ovarian cancer. Life Sci 2019; 242:117162. [PMID: 31837336 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2019.117162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2019] [Revised: 11/06/2019] [Accepted: 12/09/2019] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Chemoresistance is a major underlying cause of relapse or death in ovarian cancer patients. Emerging evidence has shown that macrophages could play an essential role in mediating the chemoresistance of cancer cells. MiR-21 has been reported to be an oncogene, which promotes chemoresistance in cancer. Here, we aim to investigate the role that miR-21 plays in polarization of macrophages and ovarian cancer progression. MAIN METHODS The CIBERSORT algorithm was used to investigate immune cell infiltration in ovarian cancer tissues. To explore the role that miR-21 played in macrophages, M2 macrophages transfected with a miR-21 mimic or a miR-21 inhibitor were co-cultured with ovarian cancer cells. Western blotting was used to detect protein expression levels. CCK8 was used to detect the IC50 of ovarian cancer cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis and the cell cycle of ovarian cancer cells. KEY FINDINGS In this study, we found that higher expression of M1 macrophages and lower expression of M2 macrophages correlated with a better prognosis of ovarian cancer patients. M2 macrophages promoted the chemoresistance of ovarian cancer cells. The results showed that miR-21 could partially regulate the polarization of macrophages. Furthermore, M2 macrophages transfected with the miR-21 mimic significantly promoted chemoresistance and inhibited apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells, while the M2 macrophages transfected with the miR-21 inhibitor showed the opposite effects. SIGNIFICANCE miR-21 plays an important role in regulating macrophage polarization, therefore increasing the M2 macrophage-mediated chemoresistance in ovarian cancer cells.
