Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) stand as the leading cause of death worldwide, posing a significant global health challenge. Consequently, the development of innovative therapeutic strategies to enhance CVDs treatment is imperative. RNA-based therapies, encompassing non-coding RNAs, mRNA, aptamers, and CRISPR/Cas9 technology, have emerged as promising tools for addressing CVDs. However, inherent challenges associated with RNA, such as poor cellular uptake, susceptibility to RNase degradation, and capture by the reticuloendothelial system, underscore the necessity of combining these therapies with effective drug delivery systems. Various non-viral delivery systems, including extracellular vesicles, lipid-based carriers, polymeric and inorganic nanoparticles, as well as hydrogels, have shown promise in enhancing the efficacy of RNA therapeutics. In this review, we offer an overview of the most relevant RNA-based therapeutic strategies explored for addressing CVDs and emphasize the pivotal role of delivery systems in augmenting their effectiveness. Additionally, we discuss the current status of these therapies and the challenges that hinder their clinical translation.

Guo W, Xu Y, Liu X, Dou J, Guo Z. Therapeutic effect of adipose-derived stem cells injected into pericardial cavity in rat heart failure. ESC Heart Fail 2024; 11:492-502. [PMID: 38062920 PMCID: PMC10804146 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.14606] [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: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS There are few studies on the treatment of heart failure by injecting stem cells into the pericardial cavity. Can the cells injected into the pericardial cavity migrate through the epicardium to the myocardial tissue? Whether there is therapeutic effect and the mechanism of therapeutic effect are still unclear. This study investigated the therapeutic efficacy and evidence of cell migration of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) injected into the pericardial cavity in rat heart failure. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness and mechanism of treating heart failure by injecting stem cells into the pericardial cavity, laying an experimental foundation for a new approach to stem cell therapy for heart disease in clinical practice. METHODS AND RESULTS The inguinal adipose tissue of male SD rats aged 4-6 weeks was taken, ADSCs were isolated and cultured, and their stem cell surface markers were identified. Forty rats aged 6-8 weeks were divided into sham operation group, heart failure group, and treatment group; there were 15 rats in the heart failure group and 15 rats in the treatment group. The heart failure model was established by intraperitoneal injection of adriamycin hydrochloride. The heart function of the three groups was detected by small animal ultrasound. The model was successful if the left ventricular ejection fraction < 50%. The identified ADSCs were injected into the pericardial cavity of rats in the treatment group. The retention of transplanted cells in pericardial cavity was detected by small animal in vivo imaging instrument, and the migration of transplanted cells into myocardial tissue was observed by tissue section and immunofluorescence. Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining were used to detect brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and C-reactive protein (CRP). ADSCs express CD29, CD44, and CD73. On the fourth day after injection of ADSCs into pericardial cavity, they migrated to myocardial tissue through epicardium and gradually diffused to deep myocardium. The cell density in the pericardial cavity remains at a high level for 10 days after injection and gradually decreases after 10 days. Compared with the heart failure group, the expression of BNP and α-SMA decreased (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively), and the expression of CRP in the treatment group was higher than that in the heart failure group (P < 0.0001). A small amount of BNP, α-SMA, and CRP was expressed in the myocardium of the sham operation group. After injection of ADSCs, interleukin-6 in myocardial tissue was significantly lower than that in heart failure myocardium (P < 0.01). After treatment, vascular endothelial growth factor A was significantly higher than that of heart failure (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Pericardial cavity injected ADSCs can penetrate the epicardium, migrate into the myocardium, and have a therapeutic effect on heart failure. Their mechanism of action is to exert therapeutic effects through anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrosis, and increased angiogenesis.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (especially atherosclerosis) is a major cause of death worldwide, and novel diagnostic tools and treatments for this disease are urgently needed. Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides that specifically recognize and bind to the targets by forming unique structures in vivo, enabling them to rival antibodies in cardiac applications. Chemically synthesized aptamers can be readily modified in a site-specific way, so they have been engineered in the diagnosis of cardiac diseases and anti-thrombosis therapeutics. Von Willebrand Factor plays a unique role in the formation of thrombus, and as an aptamer targeting molecule, has shown initial success in antithrombotic treatment. A combination of von Willebrand Factor and nucleic acid aptamers can effectively inhibit the progression of blood clots, presenting a positive diagnosis and therapeutic effect, as well as laying a novel theory and strategy to improve biocompatibility paclitaxel drug balloon or implanted stent in the future. This review summarizes aptamer-based applications in cardiovascular disease, including biomarker discovery and future management strategy. Although relevant applications are relatively new, the significant advancements achieved have demonstrated that aptamers can be promising agents to realize the integration of diagnosis and therapy in cardiac research.

Abstract
Cardiovascular and related diseases (CVRDs) are among the most prevalent chronic diseases in the 21st century, with a high mortality rate. This review summarizes the various nanomedicines for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in CVRDs, including nanomedicine for angina pectoris, myocarditis, myocardial infarction, pericardial disorder, thrombosis, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, pulmonary arterial hypertension and stroke. Theranostic nanomedicines can prolong systemic circulation, escape from the host defense system, and deliver theranostic agents to the targeted site for imaging and therapy at a cellular and molecular level. Presently, discrete non-invasive and non-surgical theranostic methodologies are such an advancement modality capable of targeted diagnosis and therapy and have better efficacy with fewer side effects than conventional medicine. Additionally, we have presented the recent updates on nanomedicine in clinical trials, targeted nanomedicine and its translational challenges for CVRDs. Theranostic nanomedicine acts as a bridge towards CVRDs amelioration and its management.

Abstract
Nanotechnology and stem cells are one of the most promising strategies for clinical medicine applications. The article provides an up-to-date view on advances in the field of regenerative and targeted vascular therapies describing a molecular design (propulsion mechanism, composition, target identification) and applications of nanorobots. Stem cell paragraph presents current clinical application of various cell types involved in vascular biology including mesenchymal stem cells, very small embryonic-like stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, mononuclear stem cells, amniotic fluid-derived stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells. A possible bridging between the two fields is also envisioned, where bio-inspired, safe, long-lasting nanorobots can fully target the cellular specific cues and even drive vascular process in a timely manner.

Abstract
Hearing loss has become the most common sensory nerve disorder worldwide, with no effective treatment strategy. Low-permeability and limited blood supply to the blood-labyrinth barrier limit the effective delivery and efficacy of therapeutic drugs in the inner ear. Nanoparticle (NP)-based drugs have shown benefits of stable controlled release and functional surface modification, and NP-based delivery systems have become a research hotspot. In this review, we discuss the development of new targeted drug-delivery systems based on the biocompatibility and safety of different NPs in the cochlea, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of their prescription methods and approaches. We believe that targeted NP-based drug-delivery systems will be effective treatments for hearing loss.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and the heart failure (HF) that often follows, are leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Crucially, there are currently no effective treatments, other than myocardial reperfusion, for reducing myocardial infarct (MI) size and preventing HF following AMI. Thus, there is an unmet need to discover novel cardioprotective therapies to reduce MI size, and prevent HF in AMI patients. Although a large number of therapies have been shown to reduce MI size in experimental studies, the majority have failed to benefit AMI patients. Failure to deliver cardioprotective therapy to the ischemic heart in sufficient concentrations following AMI is a major factor for the lack of success observed in previous clinical cardioprotection studies. Therefore, new strategies are needed to improve the delivery of cardioprotective therapies to the ischemic heart following AMI. In this regard, nanoparticles have emerged as drug delivery systems for improving the bioavailability, delivery, and release of cardioprotective therapies, and should result in improved efficacy in terms of reducing MI size and preventing HF. In this article, we provide a review of currently available nanoparticles, some of which have been FDA-approved, in terms of their use as drug delivery systems in cardiovascular disease and cardioprotection.

Abstract
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains one of the most common cardiovascular conditions in developing countries. Accumulating evidence suggests that circulating exosomes and their cargoes, including mRNA and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), play essential roles in many cardiovascular diseases. However, their specific roles in RHD remain unexplored. In the present study, we identified 231 lncRNAs and 179 mRNAs differentially expressed in the circulating exosomes harvested from RHD patients compared to healthy controls. We performed gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analysis, and identified five pairs of lncRNAs and their flanking coding genes simultaneously dysregulated in the circulating exosomes. Collectively, we provide the first transcriptome analysis identifying differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in circulating exosomes of RHD patients, which may bring valuable insights for the discovery of potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for RHD.

Abstract
Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles shed from all cell types and play a major role in communication and transportation of materials between cells due to their ability to transfer proteins and nucleic acids from one cell to another. Analogous in size and function to synthetic nanoparticles, exosomes offer many advantages, rendering them the most promising candidates for targeted drug or gene delivery vehicles. Exosomes can also induce chemoresistance or radioresistance of tumor cells. Studies about the related mechanisms help overcome cancer therapy resistance to some extent. In this review, we focus on the application of exosomes as nanocarriers and the current status of the application of exosomes to cancer therapy.
