Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition characterized by myocardial dysfunction that occurs in individuals with diabetes, in the absence of coronary artery disease, valve disease, and other conventional cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. It is considered a significant and consequential complication of diabetes in the field of cardiovascular medicine. The primary pathological manifestations include myocardial hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, and impaired ventricular function, which can lead to widespread myocardial necrosis. Ultimately, this can progress to the development of heart failure, arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock, with severe cases even resulting in sudden cardiac death. Despite several decades of both fundamental and clinical research conducted globally, there are currently no specific targeted therapies available for DCM in clinical practice, and the incidence and mortality rates of heart failure remain persistently high. Thus, this article provides an overview of the current treatment modalities and novel techniques pertaining to DCM, aiming to offer valuable insights and support to researchers dedicated to investigating this complex condition.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have garnered extensive attention as natural product-based nanomedicines and potential drug delivery vehicles. However, the specific mechanism for regulating MSC-EVs secretion and delivery remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness regulates the secretion and delivery of EVs by affecting MSCs' cargo sorting mechanically. Using multi-omics analysis, we found that a decrease in ECM stiffness impeded the sorting of vesicular transport-related proteins and autophagy-related lipids into MSC-EVs, impairing their secretion and subsequent uptake by macrophages. Hence, MSC-EVs with different secretion and uptake behaviors can be produced by changing the stiffness of culture substrates. This study provides new insights into MSC-EV biology and establishes a connection between MSC-EV behaviors and ECM from a biophysical perspective, providing a basis for the rational design of biomedical materials.

Abstract
Millions of cardiomyocytes die immediately after myocardial infarction, regardless of whether the culprit coronary artery undergoes prompt revascularization. Residual ischaemia in the peri-infarct border zone causes further cardiomyocyte damage, resulting in a progressive decline in contractile function. To date, no treatment has succeeded in increasing the vascularization of the infarcted heart. In the past decade, new approaches that can target the heart's highly plastic perivascular niche have been proposed. The perivascular environment is populated by mesenchymal progenitor cells, fibroblasts, myofibroblasts and pericytes, which can together mount a healing response to the ischaemic damage. In the infarcted heart, pericytes have crucial roles in angiogenesis, scar formation and stabilization, and control of the inflammatory response. Persistent ischaemia and accrual of age-related risk factors can lead to pericyte depletion and dysfunction. In this Review, we describe the phenotypic changes that characterize the response of cardiac pericytes to ischaemia and the potential of pericyte-based therapy for restoring the perivascular niche after myocardial infarction. Pericyte-related therapies that can salvage the area at risk of an ischaemic injury include exogenously administered pericytes, pericyte-derived exosomes, pericyte-engineered biomaterials, and pharmacological approaches that can stimulate the differentiation of constitutively resident pericytes towards an arteriogenic phenotype. Promising preclinical results from in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that pericytes have crucial roles in the treatment of coronary artery disease and the prevention of post-ischaemic heart failure.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), encompassing exosomes, microvesicles (MVs), and apoptotic bodies (ABs), are cell-derived heterogeneous nanoparticles with a pivotal role in intercellular communication. EVs are enclosed by a lipid-bilayer membrane to escape enzymatic degradation. EVs contain various functional molecules (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and metabolites) which can be transferred from donor cells to recipient cells. EVs provide many advantages including accessibility, modifiability and easy storage, stability, biocompatibility, heterogeneity and they readily penetrate through biological barriers, making EVs ideal and promising candidates for diagnosis/prognosis biomarkers and therapeutic tools. Recently, EVs were implicated in both physiological and pathophysiological settings of cardiovascular system through regulation of cell-cell communication. Numerous studies have reported a role for EVs in the pathophysiological progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and have evaluated the utility of EVs for the diagnosis/prognosis and therapeutics of CVDs. In this review, we summarize the biology of EVs, evaluate the perceived biological function of EVs in different CVDs along with a consideration of recent progress for the application of EVs in diagnosis/prognosis and therapies of CVDs.

Abstract
Obesity is a significant risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Adipose tissue dysfunction can affect the pool of circulating exosomal miRNAs, driving concomitant disease in obesity. These exosomal miRNAs can reflect adipose tissue functionality, thus serving as prognostic biomarkers for disease monitoring in case of T2DM. In the present study, we conducted NanoString microRNA profiling of extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by adipose tissue of obese patients (body mass index (BMI) > 35) without T2DM and nonobese individuals (BMI < 30) as a control group. Functional and pathway enrichment analysis showed that miRNAs associated with obesity in this study were implicated in insulin signaling and insulin resistance biological pathways. Further, these microRNAs were screened in serum EVs in the following groups: (1) obese patients with T2DM, (2) obese patients without T2DM, and (3) nonobese individuals as a control group. has-miR-551b-3p was shown to be downregulated in adipose tissue EVs, as well as in serum EVs, of patients with obesity without T2DM. At the same time, the serum exosomal hsa-miR-551b-3p content was significantly higher in obese patients with T2DM when compared with obese patients without T2DM and may be a potential biomarker of T2DM development in obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a common condition that leads to a loss of bone density and an increased risk of fractures in women. Recent evidence suggests that exosomal miRNAs are involved in regulating bone development and osteogenesis. However, exosomal miRNAs as biomarkers for PMOP diagnosis have not been systematically evaluated. In this study, we aim to identify PMOP-associated circulating exosomal miRNAs and evaluate their diagnostic performance. METHODS We performed next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics analysis of plasma exosomal miRNAs from 12 PMOP patients and 12 non-osteoporosis controls to identify PMOP-associated exosomal miRNAs, and then validated them in an independent natural community cohort with 26 PMOP patients and 21 non-osteoporosis controls. Exosomes were isolated with the size exclusion chromatography method from the plasma of elder postmenopausal women. The plasma exosomal miRNA profiles were characterized in PMOP paired with controls with next-generation sequencing. Potential plasma exosomal miRNAs were validated by qRT-PCR in the validation cohort, and their performance in diagnosing PMOP was systematically evaluated with the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Twenty-seven miRNAs were identified as differentially expressed in PMOP versus controls in sequencing data, of which six exosomal miRNAs (miR-196-5p, miR-224-5p, miR320d, miR-34a-5p, miR-9-5p, and miR-98-5p) were confirmed to be differentially expressed in PMOP patients by qRT-PCR in the validation cohort. The three miRNAs combination (miR-34a-5p + miR-9-5p + miR-98-5p) demonstrated the best diagnostic performance, with an AUC = 0.734. In addition, the number of pregnancies was found to be an independent risk factor that can improve the performance of exosomal miRNAs in diagnosing PMOP. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that the plasma exosomal miRNAs had the potential to serve as noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for PMOP.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis and numerous other cardiovascular diseases develop in an age-dependent manner. The endothelial cells that line the vessel walls play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. Non-coding RNA like microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs are known to play an important role in endothelial function and are implicated in the disease progression. Here, we summarize several microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs that are known to have an altered expression with endothelial aging and discuss their role in endothelial cell function and senescence. These processes contribute to aging-induced atherosclerosis development and by targeting the non-coding RNAs controlling endothelial cell function and senescence, atherosclerosis can potentially be attenuated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism by which arecoline regulates the level of miR-155-5p in macrophage-secreted exosomes to induce the transformation of human oral mucosal fibroblasts (HOMFs) into fibroblast phenotype. METHODS Exosomes were harvested from human monocytic cell line THP-1 with or without arecoline treatment. The effects of arecoline-treated THP-1 cell culture supernatant (CS), THP-1-derived exosomes (EXO), exosome-depleted THP-1 cell supernatant (NES), miR-155-5p overexpression, and miR-155-5p inhibitor on migration ability of arecoline-treated HOMF cells were examined using Transwell migration assay. The polarization of THP-1 cells was detected using flow cytometry. DCFH-DA was used to detect the level of oxidative stress in the cells with different treatments. The mRNA and protein expressions of α- SMA, type I collagen and SOCS1 in the cells were detected with qRT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS Flow cytometry showed that arecoline-treated THP-1 cells exhibited obvious polarization from M0 to M1. Both the supernatant and exosomes from arecoline-treated THP-1 cells significantly enhanced the migration ability of HOMF cells, increased intracellular oxidative stress, up-regulated the expressions of miR-155- 5p and the mRNA and protein levels of α-SMA and type I collagen, and lowered the mRNA and protein expressions of SOCS1. In HOMF cells treated with exosomes from arecoline- treated THP-1 cells, overexpression of miR-155-5p significantly enhanced cell migration ability and increased cellular expressions of α-SMA and type I collagen, and miR-155-5p inhibitor caused the opposite changes. CONCLUSION Arecoline can up-regulate miR-155-5p expression in THP-1 cells and inhibit the expression of SOCS1 protein in HOMF cells via the exosome pathway, thus promoting the fibrotic phenotype transformation of HOMF cells.

Abstract
As a biological carrier, exosomes participate in the communication between various kinds of cells, and can mediate the interactive 'dialogue' between tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). TAMs are the most abundant cell population in the tumor stroma and are an important part of the tumor immune microenvironment. Various stimulating factors in the tumor microenvironment influence the polarization of TAMs into multiple phenotypes, such as M1 and M2. It plays a dual role in tumor immunity by both promoting and inhibiting tumor growth. Exosome-encapsulated non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) participate in the interactive 'dialogue' between exosome-mediated TAMs and tumor cells. Tumor-derived exosomal ncRNAs can promote macrophage polarization, whereas exosomal ncRNAs derived from TAMs can affect tumor proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis, and chemotherapy resistance. The present review summarizes the dual effects of exosomal ncRNAs on tumor cells and TAMs, and discusses the application of exosomal ncRNAs as a potential diagnostic or prognostic marker and drug delivery system, to provide a new perspective and potential therapeutic drugs on targeting exosomes and macrophages in the treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes, are nanovesicles that have received significant attention due to their ability to contain various molecular cargos. EVs found in biological fluids have been demonstrated to have therapeutic potential, including as biomarkers. Despite being extensively studied, a significant downfall in EV research is the lack of standardised protocol for its isolation from human biological fluids, where EVs usually exist at low densities. In this study, we tested two well-established EV isolation protocols, precipitation, and size exclusion chromatography (SEC), to determine their efficiency in isolating EVs from the pericardial fluid. Precipitation alone resulted in high yields of low-purity exosomes as tested by DLS analysis, transmission electron microscopy, immunogold labelling and western blotting for the exosomal surface proteins. While EVs isolated by SEC were pure, the concentration was low. Interestingly, the combination of precipitation followed by SEC resulted in high EV yields with good purity. Our results suggest that the combination method can be adapted to isolate EVs from body fluids which have low densities of EV.

Li L, Wen J, Li H, He Y, Cui X, Zhang X, Guan X, Li Z, Cheng M. Exosomal circ-1199 derived from EPCs exposed to oscillating shear stress acts as a sponge of let-7g-5p to promote endothelial-mesenchymal transition of EPCs by increasing HMGA2 expression. Life Sci 2022; 312:121223. [PMID: 36435223 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2022.121223] [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: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Our previous study showed that oscillatory shear stress (OSS) induces endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) to undergo endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndoMT), which may contribute to the onset and progression of atherosclerosis (AS). However, the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. A recent study showed that exosomes (Exos) released from EPCs played a key role in various cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to identify the role and mechanism of Exos released by EPCs exposed to OSS in EPC EndoMT. MAIN METHODS EPCs derived from the human umbilical cord blood were cultured and characterized. The Flexcell flow STR-4000 parallel plate flow chamber system was employed to apply OSS (±3.5 dyne/cm2, 1 Hz) to EPCs for 12 h. Then, Exos were extracted from the cellular supernatant (Static-Exos) or perfusate (OSS-Exos) by exoEasy Maxi Kit. Afterward, cellular intervention, angiogenesis assays, high-throughput sequencing and online database predictions were used to identify the role and mechanism of OSS-Exos in EPC EndoMT. KEY FINDINGS OSS-Exos inhibited angiogenesis, promoted the proliferation of EPCs both in vivo and in vitro, and induced EPC EndoMT. In addition, the expression of circ-1199 in OSS-Exos was higher than that in Static-Exos. Moreover, circ-1199 induced EPC EndoMT. The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay showed that let-7g-5p was the direct target of circ-1199. Furthermore, OSS-Exos upregulated the expression of circ-1199 and then downregulated let-7g-5p, upregulating HMGA2, which activated p-Smad3/Smad3 and Snail. SIGNIFICANCE OSS-Exos played an important role in the EndoMT of EPCs, which was mediated by the circ-1199/let-7g-5p/HMGA2 signaling pathway. These studies would have a high probability of revealing the mechanism of EPC EndoMT.

Exosomal Micro-RNAs as Intercellular Communicators in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911047. [PMID: 36232350 PMCID: PMC9569972 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231911047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Communication between neighboring or distant cells is made through a complex network that includes extracellular vesicles (EVs). Exosomes, which are a subgroup of EVs, are released from most cell types and have been found in biological fluids such as urine, plasma, and airway secretions like bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), nasal lavage, saliva, and sputum. Mainly, the cargo exosomes are enriched with mRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs), which can be transferred to a recipient cell consequently modifying and redirecting its biological function. The effects of miRNAs derive from their role as gene expression regulators by repressing or degrading their target mRNAs. Nowadays, various types of research are focused on evaluating the potential of exosomal miRNAs as biomarkers for the prognosis and diagnosis of different pathologies. Nevertheless, there are few reports on their role in the pathophysiology of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic lung disease characterized by progressive lung scarring with no cure. In this review, we focus on the role and effect of exosomal miRNAs as intercellular communicators in the onset and progression of IPF, as well as discussing their potential utility as therapeutic agents for the treatment of this disease.
