Hypoxic extracellular vesicles from hiPSCs protect cardiomyocytes from oxidative damage by transferring antioxidant proteins and enhancing Akt/Erk/NRF2 signaling. Cell Commun Signal 2024; 22:356.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are an emerging class of therapeutics with excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity and pro-regenerative capacity. One of the potential targets for EV-based medicines are cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In this work we used EVs derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs; hiPS-EVs) cultured under different oxygen concentrations (21, 5 and 3% O2) to dissect the molecular mechanisms responsible for cardioprotection. METHODS EVs were isolated by ultrafiltration combined with size exclusion chromatography (UF + SEC), followed by characterization by nanoparticle tracking analysis, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Western blot methods. Liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry coupled with bioinformatic analyses were used to identify differentially enriched proteins in various oxygen conditions. We directly compared the cardioprotective effects of these EVs in an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model of cardiomyocyte (CM) injury. Using advanced molecular biology, fluorescence microscopy, atomic force spectroscopy and bioinformatics techniques, we investigated intracellular signaling pathways involved in the regulation of cell survival, apoptosis and antioxidant response. The direct effect of EVs on NRF2-regulated signaling was evaluated in CMs following NRF2 inhibition with ML385. RESULTS We demonstrate that hiPS-EVs derived from physiological hypoxia at 5% O2 (EV-H5) exert enhanced cytoprotective function towards damaged CMs compared to EVs derived from other tested oxygen conditions (normoxia; EV-N and hypoxia 3% O2; EV-H3). This resulted from higher phosphorylation rates of Akt kinase in the recipient cells after transfer, modulation of AMPK activity and reduced apoptosis. Furthermore, we provide direct evidence for improved calcium signaling and sustained contractility in CMs treated with EV-H5 using AFM measurements. Mechanistically, our mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analyses revealed differentially enriched proteins in EV-H5 associated with the antioxidant pathway regulated by NRF2. In this regard, EV-H5 increased the nuclear translocation of NRF2 protein and enhanced its transcription in CMs upon OGD/R. In contrast, inhibition of NRF2 with ML385 abolished the protective effect of EVs on CMs. CONCLUSIONS In this work, we demonstrate a superior cardioprotective function of EV-H5 compared to EV-N and EV-H3. Such EVs were most effective in restoring redox balance in stressed CMs, preserving their contractile function and preventing cell death. Our data support the potential use of hiPS-EVs derived from physiological hypoxia, as cell-free therapeutics with regenerative properties for the treatment of cardiac diseases.

Abstract
Biomaterial properties have recently been shown to modulate extracellular vesicle (EV) secretion and cargo; however, the effects of substrate composition on EV production remain underexplored. This study investigates the impacts of surface coatings composed of collagen I (COLI), fibronectin (FN), and poly l-lysine (PLL) on EV secretion for applications in therapeutic EV production and to further understanding of how changes in the extracellular matrix microenvironment affect EVs. EV secretion from primary bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs), primary adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), HEK293 cells, NIH3T3 cells, and RAW264.7 cells was characterized on the different coatings. Expression of EV biogenesis genes and cellular adhesion genes was also analyzed. COLI coatings significantly decreased EV secretion in RAW264.7 cells, with associated decreases in cell viability and changes in EV biogenesis-related and cell adhesion genes at day 4. FN coatings increased EV secretion in NIH3T3 cells, while PLL coatings increased EV secretion in ASCs. Surface coatings had significant effects on the capacity of EVs derived from RAW264.7 and NIH3T3 cells to impact in vitro macrophage proliferation. Overall, surface coatings had different cell-specific effects on EV secretion and in vitro functional capacity, thus highlighting the potential of substrate coatings to further the development of clinical EV production systems.

ANXA3-Rich Exosomes Derived from Tumor-Associated Macrophages Regulate Ferroptosis and Lymphatic Metastasis of Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Cancer Immunol Res 2024; 12:614-630. [PMID: 38393971 DOI: 10.1158/2326-6066.cir-23-0595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Revised: 12/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) induce immunosuppression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). The interaction between LSCC cells and TAMs affects the progression of laryngeal cancer through exosomes, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Proteomics analysis of TAMs isolated from human laryngeal tumor tissues obtained from patients with confirmed lymphatic metastasis revealed an upregulation of annexin A3 (ANXA3). In TAMs, ANXA3 promoted macrophages to polarize to an M2-like phenotype by activating the AKT-GSK3β-β-catenin pathway. In addition, ANXA3-rich exosomes derived from TAMs inhibited ferroptosis in laryngeal cancer cells through an ATF2-CHAC1 axis, and this process was associated with lymphatic metastasis. Mechanistically, ANXA3 in exosomes inhibited the ubiquitination of ATF2, whereas ATF2 acted as a transcription factor to regulate the expression of CHAC1, thus inhibiting ferroptosis in LSCC cells. These data indicate that abnormal ANXA3 expression can drive TAM reprogramming and promote an immunosuppressive microenvironment in LSCC. Meanwhile, ANXA3-rich exosomes inhibit ferroptosis of LSCC cells and promote lymphatic metastasis, thus promoting tumor progression.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a pivotal role in intercellular communication and have been implicated in cancer progression. Hypoxia, a pervasive hallmark of cancer, is known to regulate EV biogenesis and function. Hypoxic EVs contain a specific set of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and metabolites, capable of reprogramming the biology and fate of recipient cells. Enhancing the intrinsic therapeutic efficacy of EVs can be achieved by strategically modifying their structure and contents. Moreover, the use of EVs as drug delivery vehicles holds great promise for cancer treatment. However, various hurdles must be overcome to enable their clinical application as cancer therapeutics. In this review, we aim to discuss the current knowledge on the hypoxic regulation of EVs. Additionally, we will describe the underlying mechanisms by which EVs contribute to cancer progression in hypoxia and outline the progress and limitations of hypoxia-related EV therapeutics for cancer.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-based therapy has been reported to be a potential approach to treat various diseases and the paracrine role might be the underlying mechanism. Exosomes were considered an important part of this paracrine role. It was reported that maintenance of MSCs in hypoxia conditions for a short time has shown to be beneficial for the therapeutic effect of MSCs and MSCs-derived exosomes. In this review, we summarized the recent developments on exosomes derived from hypoxia-preconditioned mesenchymal stem cells (hypoMSCs-Exo), including the characteristics of hypoMSCs-Exo in morphology and contents, diseases in which hypoMSCs-Exo showed more effective, and the cellular and molecular mechanisms that hypoMSCs-Exo showed more effective in disease treatment. Besides, we also discussed the limitations of current studies and the issues that needed to be improved in the application of hypoMSCs-Exo. This review aimed to promote a comprehensive and systematic understanding of this type of exosome with great therapeutic potential.

Abstract
The lymphatic vascular system is crucial for the regulation of tissue fluid homeostasis, lipid metabolism, and immune function. Cardiac injury quickly leads to myocardial edema, cardiac lymphatic dysfunction, which ultimately results in myocardial fluid imbalance and cardiac dysfunction. Therefore, lymphangiogenesis-targeted therapy may improve the recovery of myocardial function post cardiac ischemia as observed in myocardial infarction (MI). Indeed, a promising strategy for the clinical treatment of MI relies on vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C)-targeted therapy, which promotes lymphangiogenesis. However, much effort is needed to identify the mechanisms of lymphatic transport in response to heart disease. This article reviews regulatory factors of lymphangiogenesis, and discusses the effects of lymphangiogenesis on cardiac function after cardiac injury and its regulatory mechanisms. The involvement of stem cells on lymphangiogenesis was also discussed as stem cells could differentiate into lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and stimulate phenotype of LECs.

Abstract
Lymphatic vessels, as the main tube network of fluid drainage and leukocyte transfer, are responsible for the maintenance of homeostasis and pathological repairment. Recently, by using genetic lineage tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing techniques, significant cognitive progress has been made about the impact of stem/progenitor cells during lymphangiogenesis. In the embryonic stage, the lymphatic network is primarily formed through self-proliferation and polarized-sprouting from the lymph sacs. However, the assembly of lymphatic stem/progenitor cells also guarantees the sustained growth of lymphvasculogenesis to obtain the entire function. In addition, there are abundant sources of stem/progenitor cells in postnatal tissues, including circulating progenitors, mesenchymal stem cells, and adipose tissue stem cells, which can directly differentiate into lymphatic endothelial cells and participate in lymphangiogenesis. Specifically, recent reports indicated a novel function of lymphangiogenesis in transplant arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis. In the present review, we summarized the latest evidence about the diversity and incorporation of stem/progenitor cells in lymphatic vasculature during both the embryonic and postnatal stages, with emphasis on the impact of lymphangiogenesis in the development of vascular diseases to provide a rational guidance for future research.
