[PMID: 39270512 DOI: 10.1016/j.tice.2024.102563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2024] [Revised: 09/04/2024] [Accepted: 09/11/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024]
Abstract
Radiation Combined Injuries (RCI) pose formidable public health risks, particularly in the context of nuclear incidents, necessitating specialized treatments and development of biomarkers. RCI encompasses instances where ionizing radiation exposure coincides with burns, wounds, or trauma. However, the limited understanding of cellular responses hinders progress in developing effective therapies. This article underscores the pivotal role of exosomes, nano-sized particles (30-120 nm) actively secreted by cells, in addressing the intricate challenges posed by RCI. Exosomes serve as vehicles for the transportation of bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, and miRNA, thereby facilitating processes critical to radiotherapy, burn injury, and wound healing. Exosomes hold significant promise for the transformation of RCI management by reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, managing sepsis, altering immunological responses, and modulating signal transduction pathways. Moreover, exosomes are also being explored as biomarker for various diseases and stress conditions including radiation exposure and associated injuries. This comprehensive review highlights the burgeoning potential of exosomes in advancing the management of RCI, thereby enhancing public health preparedness and response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exosomes are nanometer-sized, lipid bilayer membrane vesicles that are secreted by various cell types. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to exert therapeutic effects through the secretion of exosomes via a paracrine pathway. Functions: Recent studies have demonstrated that MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) can effectively transport various bioactive substances, including proteins, mRNAs, microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, and lipids, into target cells. This process regulates multiple aspects during wound repair, such as the inflammatory response, cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, angiogenesis, and matrix remodeling. POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS By promoting wound healing and inhibiting scar formation, MSC-Exos have shown great promise for clinical applications in wound repair. This review highlights the recent advances in our understanding of the role and mechanism of MSC-Exos during wound repair, providing insights into their potential use in future therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have gained attention as a promising therapeutic approach in both preclinical and clinical osteoarthritis (OA) settings. Various joint cell types, such as chondrocytes, synovial fibroblasts, osteoblasts, and tenocytes, can produce and release extracellular vesicles (EVs), which subsequently influence the biological activities of recipient cells. Recently, extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) have shown the potential to modulate various physiological and pathological processes through the modulation of cellular differentiation, immune responses, and tissue repair. This review explores the roles and therapeutic potential of MSC-EVs in OA and rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, age-related macular degeneration, Alzheimer's disease, and other degenerative diseases. Notably, we provide a comprehensive summary of exosome biogenesis, microRNA composition, mechanisms of intercellular transfer, and their evolving role in the highlight of exosome-based treatments in both preclinical and clinical avenues.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction refers to the irreversible impairment of cardiac function resulting from the permanent loss of numerous cardiomyocytes and the formation of scar tissue. This condition is caused by acute and persistent inadequate blood supply to the heart's arteries. In the treatment of myocardial infarction, Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play a crucial role because of their powerful therapeutic effects. These effects primarily stem from the paracrine secretion of multiple factors by MSCs, with exosome-carried microRNAs being the most effective component in promoting cardiac function recovery after infarction. Exosome therapy has emerged as a promising cell-free treatment for myocardial infarction as a result of its relatively simple composition, low immunogenicity and controlled transplantation dose. Despite these advantages, maintaining the stability of exosomes after transplantation and enhancing their targeting effect remain significant challenges in clinical applications. In recent developments, several approaches have been designed to optimize exosome therapy. These include enhancing exosome retention, improving their ability to target specific effects, pretreating MSC-derived exosomes and employing transgenic MSC-derived exosomes. This review primarily focuses on describing the biological characteristics of exosomes, their therapeutic potential and their application in treating myocardial infarction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exosomes, nano-sized vesicles ranging between 30 and 150 nm secreted by human cells, play a pivotal role in long-range intercellular communication and have attracted significant attention in the field of regenerative medicine. Nevertheless, their limited productivity and cost-effectiveness pose challenges for clinical applications. These issues have recently been addressed by cell-derived nanovesicles (CDNs), which are physically synthesized exosome-mimetic nanovesicles from parent cells, as a promising alternative to exosomes. CDNs exhibit structural, physical, and biological properties similar to exosomes, containing intracellular protein and genetic components encapsulated by the cell plasma membrane. These characteristics allow CDNs to be used as regenerative medicine and therapeutics on their own, or as a drug delivery system. METHODS The paper reviews diverse methods for CDN synthesis, current analysis techniques, and presents engineering strategies to improve lesion targeting efficiency and/or therapeutic efficacy. RESULTS CDNs, with their properties similar to those of exosomes, offer a cost-effective and highly productive alternative due to their non-living biomaterial nature, nano-size, and readiness for use, allowing them to overcome several limitations of conventional cell therapy methods. CONCLUSION Ongoing research and enhancement of CDNs engineering, along with comprehensive safety assessments and stability analysis, exhibit vast potential to advance regenerative medicine by enabling the development of efficient therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a common abdominal emergency with a high mortality rate and a lack of effective therapeutic options. Although mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation is a potential treatment for SAP, the mechanism remains unclear. It has been suggested that MSCs may act mainly through paracrine effects; therefore, we aimed to demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) for SAP. Na-taurocholate was used to induce a rat SAP model through retrograde injection into the common biliopancreatic duct. After 72 h of EVs transplantation, pancreatic pathological damage was alleviated, along with a decrease in serum amylase activity and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Interestingly, when UCMSCs were preconditioned with 10 ng/mL tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) for 48 h, the obtained EVs (named TNF-α-EVs) performed an enhanced efficacy. Furthermore, both animal and cellular experiments showed that TNF-α-EVs alleviated the necroptosis of acinar cells of SAP through RIPK3/MLKL axis. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that TNF-α-EVs were able to enhance the therapeutic effect on SAP by inhibiting necroptosis compared to normal EVs. This study heralds that TNF-α-EVs may be a promising therapeutic approach for SAP in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest (CA), characterized by sudden onset and high mortality rates, is one of the leading causes of death globally, with a survival rate of approximately 6-24%. Studies suggest that the restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) hardly improved the mortality rate and prognosis of patients diagnosed with CA, largely due to ischemia-reperfusion injury. MAIN BODY Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit self-renewal and strong potential for multilineage differentiation. Their effects are largely mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs). Exosomes are the most extensively studied subgroup of EVs. EVs mainly mediate intercellular communication by transferring vesicular proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and other substances to regulate multiple processes, such as cytokine production, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metabolism. Thus, exosomes exhibit significant potential for therapeutic application in wound repair, tissue reconstruction, inflammatory reaction, and ischemic diseases. CONCLUSION Based on similar pathological mechanisms underlying post-cardiac arrest syndrome involving various tissues and organs in many diseases, the review summarizes the therapeutic effects of MSC-derived exosomes and explores the prospects for their application in the treatment of CA.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction has long been the leading cause of death in coronary heart disease, which is characterized by irreversible cardiomyocyte death and restricted blood supply. Conventional reperfusion therapy can further aggravate myocardial injury. Stem cell therapy, especially with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), has emerged as a promising approach to promote cardiac repair and improve cardiac function. MSCs may induce these effects by secreting exosomes containing therapeutically active RNA, proteins and lipids. Notably, normal cardiac function depends on intracardiac paracrine signaling via exosomes, and exosomes secreted by cardiac cells can partially reflect changes in the heart during disease, so analyzing these vesicles may provide valuable insights into the pathology of myocardial infarction as well as guide the development of new treatments. The present review examines how exosomes produced by MSCs and cardiac cells may influence injury after myocardial infarction and serve as therapies against such injury. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition with complex pathological mechanisms that lead to sensory, motor, and autonomic dysfunction below the site of injury. To date, no effective therapy is available for the treatment of SCI. Recently, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) have been considered to be the most promising source for cellular therapies following SCI. The objective of the present review is to summarize the most recent insights into the cellular and molecular mechanism using BMMSC therapy to treat SCI. In this work, we review the specific mechanism of BMMSCs in SCI repair mainly from the following aspects: Neuroprotection, axon sprouting and/or regeneration, myelin regeneration, inhibitory microenvironments, glial scar formation, immunomodulation, and angiogenesis. Additionally, we summarize the latest evidence on the application of BMMSCs in clinical trials and further discuss the challenges and future directions for stem cell therapy in SCI models.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. In recent decades, clinical research has made significant advances, resulting in improved survival and recovery rates for patients with CVD. Despite this progress, there is substantial residual CVD risk and an unmet need for better treatment. The complex and multifaceted pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of CVD pose a challenge for researchers seeking effective therapeutic interventions. Consequently, exosomes have emerged as a new focus for CVD research because their role as intercellular communicators gives them the potential to act as noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic nanocarriers. In the heart and vasculature, cell types such as cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle, cardiac fibroblasts, inflammatory cells, and resident stem cells are involved in cardiac homeostasis via the release of exosomes. Exosomes encapsulate cell-type specific miRNAs, and this miRNA content fluctuates in response to the pathophysiological setting of the heart, indicating that the pathways affected by these differentially expressed miRNAs may be targets for new treatments. This review discusses a number of miRNAs and the evidence that supports their clinical relevance in CVD. The latest technologies in applying exosomal vesicles as cargo delivery vehicles for gene therapy, tissue regeneration, and cell repair are described.

Visualization of cardiac uptake of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles after intramyocardial or intravenous injection in murine myocardial infarction. Physiol Rep 2023; 11:e15568. [PMID: 36967241 PMCID: PMC10040402 DOI: 10.14814/phy2.15568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In animal models, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EV) have been found to have beneficial effects in cardiovascular disease, but only when administered via intramyocardial injection. The biodistribution of either intravenous or intramyocardial injection of MSC-EV in the presence of myocardial injury is uncharacterized at this time. We hypothesized that intramyocardial injection will ensure delivery of MSC-EV to the ischemic myocardium, while intravenous injection will not. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured and the MSC-EV were isolated and characterized. The MSC-EVs were then labeled with DiD lipid dye. FVB mice with normal cardiac function underwent left coronary artery ligation followed by either peri-infarct intramyocardial or tail vein injection of 3*106 or 2*109 particles of DiD-labeled MSC-EV or a DiD-saline control. The heart, lungs, liver, spleen and kidneys were harvested 2 h post-injection and were submitted for fluorescent molecular tomography imaging. Myocardial uptake of MSC-EV was only visualized after intramyocardial injection of 2*109 MSC-EV particles (p = 0.01) compared to control, and there were no differences in cardiac fluorescence after tail vein injection of MSC-EV (p = 0.5). There was no significantly detectable MSC-EV uptake in other organs after intramyocardial injection. After tail vein injection of 2*109 particles of MSC-EV, the liver (p = 0.02) and spleen (p = 0.04) appeared to have diffuse MSC-EV uptake compared to controls. Even in the presence of myocardial injury, only intramyocardial but not intravenous administration resulted in detectable levels of MSC-EV in the ischemic myocardium. This study confirms the role for intramyocardial injection in maximal and effective delivery of MSC-EV. Our ongoing studies aimed at developing bioengineered MSC-EV for targeted delivery to the heart may render MSC-EV clinically applicable for cardiovascular disease.

Regen Ther 2023; 22:181-190. [PMID: 36860266 PMCID: PMC9969203 DOI: 10.1016/j.reth.2023.01.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Revised: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the second largest type of stroke with high mortality and morbidity. The vast majority of survivors suffer from serious neurological defects. Despite the well-established etiology and diagnose, there is still some controversy over the ideal treatment strategy. MSC-based therapy has become an attractive and promising strategy for the treatment of ICH through immune regulation and tissue regeneration. However, accumulating studies have revealed that MSC-based therapeutic effects are mainly attributed to the paracrine properties of MSC, especially small extracellular vesicles/exosome (EVs/exo) which are considered to be the key mediators of the protective efficacy from MSCs. Moreover, some papers reported that MSC-EVs/exo have better therapeutic effects than MSCs. Therefore, EVs/exo has become a new choice for the treatment of ICH stroke in recent years. In this review, we mainly concentrate on the current research progress on the use of MSC-EVs/exo in the treatment of ICH and the existing challenges in their transplation from lab to clinical practice.

Effects and Mechanisms of Exosomes from Different Sources in Cerebral Ischemia. Cells 2022; 11:cells11223623. [PMID: 36429051 PMCID: PMC9688936 DOI: 10.3390/cells11223623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Cerebral ischemia refers to the symptom of insufficient blood supply to the brain. Cells of many different origins participate in the process of repairing damage after cerebral ischemia occurs, in which exosomes secreted by the cells play important roles. For their characteristics, such as small molecular weight, low immunogenicity, and the easy penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), exosomes can mediate cell-to-cell communication under pathophysiological conditions. In cerebral ischemia, exosomes can reduce neuronal damage and improve the brain microenvironment by regulating inflammation, mediating pyroptosis, promoting axonal growth, and stimulating vascular remodeling. Therefore, exosomes have an excellent application prospect for the treatment of cerebral ischemia. This article reviews the roles and mechanisms of exosomes from different sources in cerebral ischemia and provides new ideas for the prevention and treatment of cerebral ischemia.
