Abstract
Cellular senescence (CS) is recognized as one of the hallmarks of aging, and an important player in a variety of age-related pathologies. Accumulation of senescent cells can promote a pro-inflammatory and pro-cancerogenic microenvironment. Among potential senotherapeutics are extracellular vesicles (EVs) (40-1000 nm), including exosomes (40-150 nm), that play an important role in cell-cell communications. Here, we review the most recent studies on the impact of EVs derived from stem cells (MSCs, ESCs, iPSCs) as well as non-stem cells of various types on CS and discuss potential mechanisms responsible for the senotherapeutic effects of EVs. The analysis revealed that (i) EVs derived from stem cells, pluripotent (ESCs, iPSCs) or multipotent (MSCs of various origin), can mitigate the cellular senescence phenotype both in vitro and in vivo; (ii) this effect is presumably senomorphic; (iii) EVs display cross-species activity, without apparent immunogenic responses. In summary, stem cell-derived EVs appear to be promising senotherapeutics, with a feasible application in humans.

J Am Soc Nephrol 2024; 35:998-1015. [PMID: 39088708 DOI: 10.1681/asn.0000000000000362] [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: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Key Points
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) was upregulated in human and murine AKI. It returned to baseline after recovery in humans. Its knockdown preserved kidney function in animals.
In vitro, LPS upregulated NEAT1 by TLR4/NF-κB signaling and caused its translocation into the cytoplasm where it activated nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor family protein 3 by binding receptor of activated protein C kinase 1.
Background
AKI is common in hospitalized patients and is associated with high mortality. Inflammation plays a key role in the pathophysiology of AKI. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as regulators of the inflammatory and immune response, but its role in AKI remains unclear.
Methods
We explored the role of lncRNA nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) in (1) a cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort of AKI in humans, (2) three murine models of septic and aseptic AKI, and (3) cultured C1.1 mouse kidney tubular cells.
Results
In humans, hospitalized patients with AKI (N=66) demonstrated significantly higher lncRNA NEAT1 levels in urinary sediment cells and buffy coat versus control participants (N=152) from a primary care clinic; among six kidney transplant recipients, NEAT1 levels were the highest immediately after transplant surgery, followed by a prompt decline to normal levels in parallel with recovery of kidney function. In mice with AKI induced by sepsis (by LPS injection or cecal ligation and puncture) and renal ischemia-reperfusion, kidney tubular Neat1 was increased versus sham-operated mice. Knockdown of Neat1 in the kidney using short hairpin RNA preserved kidney function and suppressed overexpression of the AKI biomarker neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, leukocyte infiltration, and both intrarenal and systemic inflammatory cytokines IL-6, CCL-2, and IL-1β. In LPS-treated C1.1 cells, Neat1 was overexpressed by TLR4/NF-κB signaling and translocated from the cell nucleus into the cytoplasm where it promoted activation of nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor family protein 3 inflammasomes by binding with the scaffold protein receptor of activated protein C kinase 1. Silencing Neat1 ameliorated LPS-induced cell inflammation, whereas its overexpression upregulated IL-6 and CCL-2 expression even without LPS stimulation.
Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate a pathogenic role of NEAT1 induction in human and mice during AKI with alleviation of kidney injury in three experimental models of septic and aseptic AKI after knockdown of Neat1. LPS/TLR4-induced Neat1 overexpression in tubular epithelial cells increased the inflammatory response by binding with the scaffold protein, receptor of activated protein C kinase 1, to activate nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor family protein 3 inflammasomes.

Zhang X, Huang C, Hou Y, Jiang S, Zhang Y, Wang S, Chen J, Lai J, Wu L, Duan H, He S, Liu X, Yu S, Cai Y. Research progress on the role and mechanism of Sirtuin family in doxorubicin cardiotoxicity. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 129:155673. [PMID: 38677274 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely utilized anthracycline chemotherapy drug in cancer treatment, yet its efficacy is hindered by both short-term and long-term cardiotoxicity. Although oxidative stress, inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction are established factors in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, the precise molecular pathways remain elusive. Further exploration of the pathogenesis and identification of novel molecular targets are imperative. Recent studies have implicated the Sirtuins family in various physiological and pathological processes, suggesting their potential in ameliorating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Moreover, research on Sirtuins has discovered small-molecule compounds or medicinal plants with regulatory effects, representing a notable advancement in preventing and treating DOX-induced cardiac injury. PURPOSE In this review, we delve into the pathogenesis of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and explore the therapeutic effects of Sirtuins in mitigating this condition, along with the associated molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, we delineate the roles and mechanisms of small-molecule regulators of Sirtuins in the prevention and treatment of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. STUDY-DESIGN/METHODS Data for this review were sourced from various scientific databases (such as Web of Science, PubMed and Science Direct) up to March 2024. Search terms included "Sirtuins," "DOX-induced cardiotoxicity," "DOX," "Sirtuins regulators," "histone deacetylation," among others, as well as several combinations thereof. RESULTS Members of the Sirtuins family regulate both the onset and progression of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity through anti-inflammatory, antioxidative stress and anti-apoptotic mechanisms, as well as by maintaining mitochondrial stability. Moreover, natural plant-derived active compounds such as Resveratrol (RES), curcumin, berberine, along with synthetic small-molecule compounds like EX527, modulate the expression and activity of Sirtuins. CONCLUSION The therapeutic role of the Sirtuins family in mitigating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity represents a potential molecular target. However, further research is urgently needed to elucidate the relevant molecular mechanisms and to assess the safety and biological activity of Sirtuins regulators. This review offers an in-depth understanding of the therapeutic role of the Sirtuins family in mitigating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, providing a preliminary basis for the clinical application of Sirtuins regulators in this condition.

Abstract
Background Aortic dissection (AD) is a lethal aortic disease with limited effective therapeutic strategies. Aging increases the risk of AD, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to analyze the association of aging-related genes (Args) and AD using bioinformatic analysis. This helps provide novel insights into AD pathogenesis and contributes to developing novel therapeutic strategies. Methods mRNA (GSE52093, GSE153434), miRNA (GSE98770) and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq, GSE213740) datasets of AD were downloaded from GEO database. Args were downloaded from Aging Atlas database. Differentially-expressed Args were determined by intersecting Args and differentially-expressed mRNAs of two mRNA datasets. Cytoscape was used to identify hub genes and construct hub gene regulatory networks related to miRNAs. Seurat and clusterProfiler R package were used for investigating expression patterns of hub genes at single-cell level, and functional analysis, respectively. To validate the cellular expression pattern of hub genes, the same analysis was applied to our own scRNA-seq data. Drugs targeting hub Args were determined using the DGIdb database. Results HGF, CXCL8, SERPINE1, HIF1A, TIMP1, ESR1 and PLAUR were identified as aging-related hub genes in AD. miR-221-3p was predicted to interact with ESR1. A decreased ESR1 expression in smooth muscle cell subpopulation 4 (SMC4) was observed in AD versus normal aortic tissues, which was validated by sequencing 197,605 aortic cells from 13 AD patients. Additionally, upregulated genes of SMC4 in AD tissues were enriched in the "cellular senescence" pathway. These data indicated that decreased ESR1 might promote SMC4 aging during AD formation. Eleven existing drugs targeting hub genes were identified, including ruxolitinib and filgrastim, which are associated with AD. Conclusions By sequencing transcriptomic data, this study revealed aging-related hub genes and regulatory network involved in AD formation. Additionally, this study proposed a noteworthy hypothesis that downregulated ESR1 may exacerbate AD by promoting SMC aging, which requires further investigation.

[PMID: 38857187 DOI: 10.1111/febs.17164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox), an anthracycline antibiotic, is widely used in cancer treatment. Although its antitumor efficacy appears significant, its clinical use is greatly restricted by its induction of cardiotoxicity. Cardiac senescence drives the Dox-induced cardiotoxicity, but whether diminishing these senescent cardiomyocytes could alleviate the cardiotoxicity remains unclear. Here, we assessed whether senescent cardiomyocytes have a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that affects healthy non-senescent cardiomyocytes, rendering them senescent via the delivery of exosomes. Additionally, we explored whether targeting SASP senescent cardiomyocytes using a Bcl-2 inhibitor could alleviate cardiotoxicity. Cardiac damage was induced in a mouse model of continuous Dox treatment in vivo, and cardiomyocytes in vitro. Immunofluorescence of the senescence markers of Cdkn2a, Cdkn1a and γ-H2A.X was used to assess the SASP in the Dox-treated heart. To explore the molecular mechanisms involved, the Bcl-2 inhibitor ABT-199 was employed to eliminate SASP senescent cardiomyocytes. We show that the cardiomyocytes acquire a SASP during Dox treatment. The senescent cardiomyocytes upregulated Bcl-2, although treatment of mice with ABT-199 selectively eliminated SASP senescent cardiomyocytes involved in Dox-induced cardiotoxicity, thus leading to partial alleviation of Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. Moreover, we concluded that SASP factors secreted by senescent cardiomyocytes induced by Dox renders otherwise healthy cardiomyocytes senescent through exosome delivery. Our findings suggest that SASP senescent cardiomyocytes are a significant component of the pathogenesis of Dox-dependent cardiotoxicity and indicate that targeting the clearance of SASP senescent cardiomyocytes could be a new therapeutic approach for Dox-induced cardiac injury.

NEAT1 regulates VSMC differentiation and calcification in as long noncoding RNA NEAT1 enhances phenotypic and osteogenic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerosis via scaffolding EZH2. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2024; 326:C1721-C1734. [PMID: 38646788 DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00587.2023] [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: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a significant contributor to cardio-cerebrovascular ischemia diseases, resulting in high mortality rates worldwide. During AS, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a crucial role in plaque formation by undergoing phenotypic and osteogenic switching. Long noncoding RNA nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) has previously been identified as a nuclear regulator that promotes tumorigenesis and metastasis, but its role in regulating VSMCs in AS remains unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the biological functions and specific mechanisms of NEAT1 in regulating VSMCs in AS. We found that NEAT1 was upregulated in the aortas of AS mouse models and dedifferentiated primary VSMCs. Silencing NEAT1 in vitro attenuated the proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs, while NEAT1 overexpression had the opposite effect. Furthermore, NEAT1 promoted VSMC osteogenic differentiation and vascular calcification in both in vivo and in vitro vascular calcification models. We also discovered that NEAT1 directly activates enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), an epigenetic enzyme that suppresses the expression of senescence- and antimigration-related genes, by translocating it into the nucleus. CUT&Tag assay revealed that NEAT1 guides EZH2 to the promoters of senescence-related genes (P16, P21, and TIMP3), methylating local histones to reduce their transcription. Our findings suggest that NEAT1 functions in AS by modulating the epigenetic function of EZH2, which enhances the proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of AS and highlights the potential of NEAT1 as a therapeutic target of AS.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Our study demonstrates that the upregulation of long noncoding RNA nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) promotes proliferation and migration during phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerosis. We also provide in vivo and in vitro evidence that NEAT1 accelerates vascular calcification. Our findings identified the direct interaction between enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and NEAT1 during atherosclerosis. NEAT1 is necessary for EZH2 to translocate from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, where EZH2 epigenetically inhibits the expression of genes related to senescence and antimigration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exosomes (Exos) are involved in the therapeutic effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on heart failure (HF). We investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the involvement of BMSC-Exos in ferroptosis on HF. METHODS A rat model of HF and cellular model of hypoxia were established. BMSC-Exos were injected into model rats or co-cultured with model cells. In model rats, the cardiac function (echocardiography), oxidative stress (commercial kits), pathological damage (HE staining), fibrosis (MASSON staining), iron deposition (Prussian blue staining), and cell apoptosis (TUNEL staining) were examined. Viability (cell counting kit-8; CCK-8), cell cycle (flow cytometry), oxidative stress, and Fe2+ levels were detected in the model cells. GAS5, UL3, YAP, and TAZ expression were detected using qRT-PCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry analyses. RESULTS BMSC-Exos restored cardiac function and inhibited oxidative stress, apoptosis, pathological damage, fibrosis, and iron deposition in myocardial tissues of HF rats. In hypoxic cells, BMSC-Exos increased cell viability, decreased the number of G1 phase cells, decreased Fe2+ levels, and inhibited oxidative stress. Ferrostatin-1 (a ferroptosis inhibitor) exhibited a synergistic effect with BMSC-Exos. Additionally, GAS5 was upregulated in BMSC-Exos, further upregulating its target UL3 and Hippo pathway effectors (YAP and TAZ). The relieving effects of BMSC-Exos on HF or hypoxia-induced injury were enhanced by GAS5 overexpression, but weakened by UL3 silencing or verteporfin (a YAP inhibitor). CONCLUSIONS GAS5-harbouring BMSC-Exos inhibited ferroptosis by regulating the UL3/Hippo pathway, contributing to HF remission in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Cardio-oncology is an emerging interdisciplinary field dedicated to the early detection and treatment of adverse cardiovascular events associated with anticancer treatment, and current clinical management of anticancer-treatment-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT) remains limited by a lack of detailed phenotypic data. However, the promise of diagnosing CTR-CVT using deep phenotyping has emerged with the development of precision medicine, particularly the use of omics-based methodologies to discover sensitive biomarkers of the disease. In the future, combining information produced by a variety of omics methodologies could expand the clinical practice of cardio-oncology. In this review, we demonstrate how omics approaches can improve our comprehension of CTR-CVT deep phenotyping, discuss the positive and negative aspects of available omics approaches for CTR-CVT diagnosis, and outline how to integrate multiple sets of omics data into individualized monitoring and treatment. This will offer a reliable technical route for lowering cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in cancer patients and survivors.

Exosomal miR-9-5p derived from iPSC-MSCs ameliorates doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy by inhibiting cardiomyocyte senescence. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:195. [PMID: 38643173 PMCID: PMC11032595 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02421-8] [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: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used for tumor treatment. Nonetheless its clinical application is heavily limited by its cardiotoxicity. There is accumulated evidence that transplantation of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-EXOs) can protect against Dox-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC). This study aimed to examine the cardioprotective effects of EXOs isolated from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived MSCs (iPSC-MSCs) against DIC and explore the potential mechanisms. EXOs were isolated from the cultural supernatant of human BM-MSCs (BM-MSC-EXOs) and iPSC-MSCs (iPSC-MSC-EXOs) by ultracentrifugation. A mouse model of DIC was induced by intraperitoneal injection of Dox followed by tail vein injection of PBS, BM-MSC-EXOs, or iPSC-MSC-EXOs. Cardiac function, cardiomyocyte senescence and mitochondrial dynamics in each group were assessed. In vitro, neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes (NMCMs) were subjected to Dox and treated with BM-MSC-EXOs or iPSC-MSC-EXOs. The mitochondrial morphology and cellular senescence of NMCMs were examined by Mitotracker staining and senescence-associated-β-galactosidase assay, respectively. Compared with BM-MSC-EXOs, mice treated with iPSC-MSC-EXOs displayed improved cardiac function and decreased cardiomyocyte mitochondrial fragmentation and senescence. In vitro, iPSC-MSC-EXOs were superior to BM-MSC-EXOs in attenuation of cardiomyocyte mitochondrial fragmentation and senescence caused by DOX. MicroRNA sequencing revealed a higher level of miR-9-5p in iPSC-MSC-EXOs than BM-MSC-EXOs. Mechanistically, iPSC-MSC-EXOs transported miR-9-5p into DOX-treated cardiomyocytes, thereby suppressing cardiomyocyte mitochondrial fragmentation and senescence via regulation of the VPO1/ERK signal pathway. These protective effects and cardioprotection against DIC were largely reversed by knockdown of miR-9-5p in iPSC-MSC-EXOs. Our results showed that miR-9-5p transferred by iPSC-MSC-EXOs protected against DIC by alleviating cardiomyocyte senescence via inhibition of the VPO1/ERK pathway. This study offers new insight into the application of iPSC-MSC-EXOs as a novel therapeutic strategy for DIC treatment.

Abstract
Detrimental side effects of drugs like doxorubicin, which can cause cardiotoxicity, pose barriers for preventing cancer progression, or treating cancer early through molecular interception. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are valued for their potential as biomarkers of human health, chemical and molecular carcinogenesis, and therapeutics to treat disease at the cellular level. EVs are released both during normal growth and in response to toxicity and cellular death, playing key roles in cellular communication. Consequently, EVs may hold promise as precision biomarkers and therapeutics to prevent or offset damaging off-target effects of chemotherapeutics. EVs have promise as biomarkers of impending cardiotoxicity induced by chemotherapies and as cardioprotective therapeutic agents. However, EVs can also mediate cardiotoxic cues, depending on the identity and past events of their parent cells. Understanding how EVs mediate signaling is critical toward implementing EVs as therapeutic agents to mitigate cardiotoxic effects of chemotherapies. For example, it remains unclear how mixtures of EV populations from cells exposed to toxins or undergoing different stages of cell death contribute to signaling across cardiac tissues. Here, we present our perspective on the outlook of EVs as future clinical tools to mitigate chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, both as biomarkers of impending cardiotoxicity and as cardioprotective agents. Also, we discuss how heterogeneous mixtures of EVs and transient exposures to toxicants may add complexity to predicting outcomes of exogenously applied EVs. Elucidating how EV cargo and signaling properties change during dynamic cellular events may aid precision prevention of cardiotoxicity in anticancer treatments and development of safer chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
Close monitoring for cardiotoxicity during anthracycline chemotherapy is crucial for early diagnosis and therapy guidance. Currently, monitoring relies on cardiac imaging and serial measurement of cardiac biomarkers like cardiac troponin and natriuretic peptides. However, these conventional biomarkers are nonspecific indicators of cardiac damage. Exploring new, more specific biomarkers with a clear link to the underlying pathomechanism of cardiotoxicity holds promise for increased specificity and sensitivity in detecting early anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. miRNAs (microRNAs), small single-stranded, noncoding RNA sequences involved in epigenetic regulation, influence various physiological and pathological processes by targeting expression and translation. Emerging as new biomarker candidates, circulating miRNAs exhibit resistance to degradation and offer a direct pathomechanistic link. This review comprehensively outlines their potential as early biomarkers for cardiotoxicity and their pathomechanistic link.

Abstract
The morbidity of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) gradually increases worldwide. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a large class of non-(protein)-coding RNAs with lengths beyond 200 nucleotides. Increasing evidence suggests that lncRNA NEAT1 plays important roles in the pathogenesis of CVDs, such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, atherosclerosis, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, and others. We summarized the current studies of NEAT1 in CVDs, which shed light on the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of CVDs and understanding the therapeutic potential of NEAT1.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of heart failure (HF), accounting for high mortality and morbidity worldwide. As a consequence of ischemia/reperfusion injury during MI, multiple cellular processes such as oxidative stress-induced damage, cardiomyocyte death, and inflammatory responses occur. In the next stage, the proliferation and activation of cardiac fibroblasts results in myocardial fibrosis and HF progression. Therefore, developing a novel therapeutic strategy is urgently warranted to restrict the progression of pathological cardiac remodeling. Recently, targeting long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) provided a novel insight into treating several disorders. In this regard, numerous investigations have indicated that several lncRNAs could participate in the pathogenesis of MI-induced cardiac remodeling, suggesting their potential therapeutic applications. In this review, we summarized lncRNAs displayed in the pathophysiology of cardiac remodeling after MI, emphasizing molecular mechanisms. Also, we highlighted the possible translational role of lncRNAs as therapeutic targets for this condition and discussed the potential role of exosomes in delivering the lncRNAs involved in post-MI cardiac remodeling.

Abstract
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a multifunctional cytokine, is secreted by various cells and participates in inflammatory reactions, including innate and adaptive immunity. There are some evidences that MIF is involved in many vitreoretinal diseases. For example, MIF can exacerbate many types of uveitis; measurements of MIF levels can be used to monitor the effectiveness of uveitis treatment. MIF also alleviates trauma-induced and glaucoma-induced optic nerve damage. Furthermore, MIF is critical for retinal/choroidal neovascularization, especially complex neovascularization. MIF exacerbates retinal degeneration; thus, anti-MIF therapy may help to mitigate retinal degeneration. MIF protects uveal melanoma from attacks by natural killer cells. The mechanism underlying the effects of MIF in these diseases has been demonstrated: it binds to cluster of differentiation 74, inhibits the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway, and triggers mitogen-activated protein kinases, extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2, and the phosphoinositide-3-kinase/Akt pathway. MIF also upregulates Toll-like receptor 4 and activates the nuclear factor kappa-B signaling pathway. This review focuses on the structure and function of MIF and its receptors, including the effects of MIF on uveal inflammation, retinal degeneration, optic neuropathy, retinal/choroidal neovascularization, and uveal melanoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The senescence of chondrocytes, which is closely linked to the development of osteoarthritis (OA), has been found to be influenced by the inflammatory environment of joint cavity. However, there remains a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the specific mechanisms through which cytokine impacts chondrocytes senescence. PURPOSE To investigate the effects of MIF on the chondrocytes senescence and explore the underlying mechanism. METHODS Human cytokine array and ELISA were used for the level of MIF in synovium fluid. CCK-8 was used for chondrocytes viability. IF, WB, SA-β-gal staining and flow cytometry were used for the chondrogenic, apoptotic and senescent phenotype of chondrocytes. RESULTS The level of MIF was significantly increased in OA patients. MIF significantly reversed the senescent phenotype induced by LPS pretreatment in human chondrocytes. MIF significantly enhanced the expression of Col II, SOX9, and ACAN in LPS pre-treated human chondrocytes. Furthermore, MIF significantly inhibited the apoptosis of LPS-induced senescent chondrocytes. CONCLUSION Increased level of MIF in osteoarthritic joint cavity might effectively suppress the senescent phenotype and simultaneously improve the chondrogenic phenotype in chondrocytes, the underlying mechanism was likely to be independent of apoptosis.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRT1-SIRT7), as a family of NAD+-dependent protein modifying enzymes, have various catalytic functions, such as deacetylases, dealkalylases, and deribonucleases. The Sirtuins family is directly or indirectly involved in pathophysiological processes such as glucolipid metabolism, oxidative stress, DNA repair and inflammatory response through various pathways and assumes an important role in several cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, hypertension and heart failure. A growing number of studies supports that metabolic and bioenergetic reprogramming directs the sequential process of inflammation. Failure of homeostatic restoration leads to many inflammatory diseases, and that macrophages are the central cells involving the inflammatory response and are the main source of inflammatory cytokines. Regulation of cellular metabolism has emerged as a fundamental process controlling macrophage function, but its exact signaling mechanisms remain to be revealed. Understanding the precise molecular basis of metabolic control of macrophage inflammatory processes may provide new approaches for targeting immune metabolism and inflammation. Here, we provide an update of studies in cardiovascular disease on the function and role of sirtuins in macrophage inflammation and metabolism, as well as drug candidates that may interfere with sirtuins, pointing to future prospects in this field.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a cardiovascular disease and troubles patients all over the world. Exosomes produced after long-term exercise training were discovered to mediate intercellular communication and alleviate MI-induced heart injury. However, the detailed roles of long-term exercise-derived exosomal long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) in MI remain uncovered. In this study, we collected and identified long-term exercise-derived exosomes, and established MI or hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model after LncRNA colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) depletion. This work proved that LncRNA CRNDE was highly expressed in long-term exercise-derived exosomes (p = 0.0078). CRNDE knockdown increased cardiomyocytes apoptosis and oxidative stress (p = 0.0036), and suppressed MI progress (p = 0.0005). CRNDE served as the sponge of miR-489-3p to affect Nrf2 expression (p = 0.0001). MiR-489-3p inhibition effectively reversed the effects of CRNDE depletion on hypoxia cardiomyocytes (p = 0.0002). These findings offered a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of MI.

Abstract
Ageing decreases the function of the immune system and increases susceptibility to some chronic, infectious, and autoimmune diseases. Senescence cells, which produce senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs), can activate the innate and adaptive immune responses. Macrophages are among the most abundant innate immune cell types in senescent microenvironments. Senescence-associated macrophages, recruited by SASPs, play a vital role in establishing the essential microenvironments for maintaining tissue homeostasis. However, it's important to note that these senescence-associated macrophages can also influence senescent processes, either by enhancing or impeding the functions of tissue-resident senescent cells. In this discussion, we describe the potential targets of immunosenescence and shed light on the probable mechanisms by which macrophages influence cellular senescence. Furthermore, we analyze their dual function in both clearing senescent cells and modulating age-related diseases. This multifaceted influence operates through processes including heightened inflammation, phagocytosis, efferocytosis, and autophagy. Given the potential off-target effects and immune evasion mechanisms associated with traditional anti-ageing strategies (senolytics and senomorphics), 'resetting' immune system tolerance or targeting senescence-related macrophage functions (i.e., phagocytotic capacity and immunosurveillance) will inform treatment of age-related diseases. Therefore, we review recent advances in the use of macrophage therapeutics to treat ageing and age-associated disorders, and outline the key gaps in this field.

[PMID: 37578647 DOI: 10.1007/s12015-023-10597-z] [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] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
Recent progress in exosome based studies has revealed that they possess several advantages over cells, including "cell-free" properties, low immunogenicity and ethical controversy, high biological safety and effective action. These characteristics confer exosomes significant advantages that allow them to overcome the limitations associated with traditional "cell therapy" by circumventing the issues of immune rejection, scarcity of donor cells, heterogeneity, and ethical concerns. Identification of a complete and effective radical treatment for irreversible pulpal disease, a common clinical problem, continues to pose challenges. Although traditional root canal therapy remains the primary clinical treatment, it does not fully restore the physiological functions of pulp. Although stem cell transplantation appears to be a relatively viable treatment strategy for pulp disease, issues such as cell heterogeneity and poor regeneration effects remain problematic. Dental pulp regeneration strategies based on "cell-free" exosome therapies explored by numerous studies appear to have shown significant advantages. In particular, exosomes derived from odontogenic stem cells have demonstrated considerable potential in tooth tissue regeneration engineering, and continue to exhibit superior therapeutic effects compared to non-odontogenic stem cell-derived exosomes. However, only a few studies have comprehensively summarised their research results, particularly regarding the critical factors involved in the process. Therefore, in this study, our purpose was to review the effects exerted by odontogenic exosomes on pulp regeneration and to analyse and discus crucial factors related to this process, thereby providing scholars with a feasible and manageable new concept with respect to regeneration schemes.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2023; 38:2751-2760. [PMID: 37471631 DOI: 10.1002/tox.23910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
Pirarubicin (THP) is a widely used antitumor drug in clinical practice, but its cardiotoxicity limits its use. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect and mechanism of knockdown of lncRNA Miat in THP-induced cardiotoxicity. The extent of damage to immortalized cardiomyocytes in mice was assessed by CCK8, TUNEL, ROS, Ca2+ , RT-qPCR, and Western blot. The relative levels of Miat in THP-treated cardiomyocytes (HL-1) were measured. The protective effect of Miat on THP-treated HL-1 was assessed. The binding relationship between lncRNA Miat and mmu-miRNA-129-1-3p was verified by a dual luciferase reporter gene assay. The protective role of Miat/miRNA-129-1-3p in THP-induced HL-1 was explored by performing a rescue assay. THP reduced cell viability, induced apoptosis, triggered oxidative stress and calcium overload. Expression of Miat in HL-1 was significantly elevated after THP treatment. Miat knockdown significantly alleviated the cardiotoxicity of THP. MiR-129-1-3p is a direct target of Miat. Knockdown of miR-129-1-3p reversed the protective effect of Miat knockdown on HL-1. Miat knockdown can alleviate THP-induced cardiomyocyte injury by regulating miR-129-1-3p.

Abstract
Ischemic heart diseases remain the leading cause of death globally, and stem cell-based therapy has been investigated as a potential approach for cardiac repair. Due to poor survival and engraftment in the cardiac ischemic milieu post transplantation, the predominant therapeutic effects of stem cells act via paracrine actions, by secreting extracellular vesicles (EVs) and/or other factors. Exosomes are nano-sized EVs of endosomal origin, and now viewed as a major contributor in facilitating myocardial repair and regeneration. However, EV/exosome therapy has major obstacles before entering clinical settings, such as limited production yield, unstable biological activity, poor homing efficiency, and low tissue retention. This review aims to provide an overview of the biogenesis and mechanisms of stem cell-derived EV/exosomes in the process of cardiac repair and discuss the current advancements in different optimized strategies to produce high-yield EV/exosomes with higher bioactivity, or engineer them with improved homing efficiency and therapeutic potency. In particular, we outline recent findings toward preclinical and clinical translation of EV/exosome therapy in ischemic heart diseases, and discuss the potential barriers in regard to clinical translation of EV/exosome therapy.

Abstract
Although chemotherapy drugs are extensively utilized in cancer therapy, their administration for treatment of patients has faced problems that regardless of chemoresistance, increasing evidence has shown concentration-related toxicity of drugs. Doxorubicin (DOX) is a drug used in treatment of solid and hematological tumors, and its function is based on topoisomerase suppression to impair cancer progression. However, DOX can also affect the other organs of body and after chemotherapy, life quality of cancer patients decreases due to the side effects. Heart is one of the vital organs of body that is significantly affected by DOX during cancer chemotherapy, and this can lead to cardiac dysfunction and predispose to development of cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis, among others. The exposure to DOX can stimulate apoptosis and sometimes, pro-survival autophagy stimulation can ameliorate this condition. Moreover, DOX-mediated ferroptosis impairs proper function of heart and by increasing oxidative stress and inflammation, DOX causes cardiac dysfunction. The function of DOX in mediating cardiac toxicity is mediated by several pathways that some of them demonstrate protective function including Nrf2. Therefore, if expression level of such protective mechanisms increases, they can alleviate DOX-mediated cardiac toxicity. For this purpose, pharmacological compounds and therapeutic drugs in preventing DOX-mediated cardiotoxicity have been utilized and they can reduce side effects of DOX to prevent development of cardiovascular diseases in patients underwent chemotherapy. Furthermore, (nano)platforms are used comprehensively in treatment of cardiovascular diseases and using them for DOX delivery can reduce side effects by decreasing concentration of drug. Moreover, when DOX is loaded on nanoparticles, it is delivered into cells in a targeted way and its accumulation in healthy organs is prevented to diminish its adverse impacts. Hence, current paper provides a comprehensive discussion of DOX-mediated toxicity and subsequent alleviation by drugs and nanotherapeutics in treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exosomes are a new class of molecular entities in the metastatic microenvironment, which can mediate bidirectional communication between cells. While exosomes-mediated interactions between tumor cells and other cell populations in the tumor microenvironment have attracted most attention, little is known about the significance of exosomes in mediating the interaction between non-stemness cancer cells and cancer stem cells during cancer progression. METHODS The structure, sequence and downstream target miRNAs of lncRNA Mir100hg were predicted by online web resources. The bioinformatics prediction results were validated with experimental verification: exosome tracing, electron microscopy, Luciferase assay, metabolomics sequencing and mouse tail vein model of pulmonary metastasis. A complex regulatory network of "cancer stem cells-exosomal lncRNA-non-stem cancer cells" was constructed. RESULTS This study demonstrates firstly that lncRNA Mir100hg is upregulated in lung cancer stem cell LLC-SD (Lung cancer stem cells) and can be delivered to non-stemness cancer cells LLC (Lewis lung cancer cells) via exosomes. In LLC, Mir100hg targets miR-15a-5p and miR-31-5p which leads to the increase of the global glycolytic activity of lung cancer cells and consequently, the enhancement of their metastatic capability. CONCLUSION We delineated a complex regulatory network that utilized by cancer stem cells to transfer their high metastatic activity to the low-metastatic non-stemness cancer cells through exosomal Mir100hg, thereby providing new mechanistic insights into the communication between two heterogeneous tumor cells.

Abstract
Cardiac injury, such as myocardial infarction and heart failure, remains a significant global health burden. The limited regenerative capacity of the adult heart poses a challenge for restoring its function after injury. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as promising candidates for cardiac regeneration due to their ability to differentiate into various cell types and secrete bioactive molecules. In recent years, attention has been given to noncoding RNAs derived from MSCs, particularly long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and their potential role in cardiac injury and repair. LncRNAs are RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but play critical roles in gene regulation and cellular responses including cardiac repair and regeneration. This review focused on MSC-derived lncRNAs and their implications in cardiac regeneration, including their effects on cardiac function, myocardial remodeling, cardiomyocyte injury, and angiogenesis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of MSC-derived lncRNAs in cardiac injury and repair may contribute to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for treating cardiovascular diseases. However, further research is needed to fully elucidate the potential of MSC-derived lncRNAs and address the challenges in this field.

Clin Transl Med 2023; 13:e1418. [PMID: 37752791 PMCID: PMC10522973 DOI: 10.1002/ctm2.1418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Therapeutic options for advanced HCC are limited, which is due to a lack of full understanding of pathogenesis. Cellular senescence is a state of cell cycle arrest, which plays important roles in the pathogenesis of HCC. Mechanisms underlying hepatocellular senescence are not fully understood. LncRNA NEAT1 acts as an oncogene and contributes to the development of HCC. Whether NEAT1 modulates hepatocellular senescence in HCC is unknown. METHODS The role of NEAT1 and KIF11 in cellular senescence and tumor growth in HCC was assessed both in vitro and in vivo. RNA pulldown, mass spectrometry, Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), luciferase reporter assays, RNA FISH and immunofluorescence (IF) staining were used to explore the detailed molecular mechanism of NEAT1 and KIF11 in cellular senescence of HCC. RESULTS We found that NEAT1 was upregulated in tumor tissues and hepatoma cells, which negatively correlated with a senescence biomarker CDKN2A encoding p16INK4a and p14ARF proteins. NEAT1 was reduced in senescent hepatoma cells induced by doxorubicin (DOXO) or serum starvation. Furthermore, NEAT1 deficiency caused senescence in cultured hepatoma cells, and protected against the progression of HCC in a mouse model. During senescence, NEAT1 translocated into cytosol and interacted with a motor protein KIF11, resulting in KIF11 protein degradation and subsequent increased expression of CDKN2A in cultured hepatoma cells. Furthermore, KIF11 knockdown caused senescence in cultured hepatoma cells. Genetic deletion of Kif11 in hepatocytes inhibited the development of HCC in a mouse model. CONCLUSIONS Conclusively, NEAT1 overexpression reduces senescence and promotes tumor progression in HCC tissues and hepatoma cells, whereas NEAT1 deficiency causes senescence and inhibits tumor progression in HCC. This is associated with KIF11-dependent repression of CDKN2A. These findings lay the foundation to develop potential therapies for HCC by inhibiting NEAT1 and KIF11 or inducing senescence.

Abstract
Clinical application of doxorubicin (Dox) in cancer chemotherapy is limited by its cardiotoxicity. Present study aimed to demonstrate the effect and mechanism of hyperoside in Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. C57BL/6 mice were injected with 12 mg/kg of Dox, and 1 μM Dox was exposed to primary cardiomyocytes. Cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiographic and myocardial enzyme levels. Cardiomyocyts apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry. Network pharmacology and molecular docking were utilized to explore potential targets of hyperoside. Protein expressions were detected by western blot and enzyme activities were determined by colorimetry. Cardiac dysfunction and cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by Dox were attenuated by hyperoside. Mechanism of hyperoside was mainly related to "oxidative stress" pathway. Hyperoside exhibited strong binding activities with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases (NOXs, the main source of ROS in cardiomyocytes) and cyclooxygenases (COXs). Experiments proved that hyperoside suppressed the ROS generation and the elevated activities of NOXs and COXs induced by Dox. Dox also triggered the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, which was reversed by hyperoside. Hyperoside bound to NOXs and COXs, which prevents Dox-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting NOXs/ROS/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway. Hyperoside holds promise as a therapeutic strategy for Dox-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Tumor metastasis is the main reason for cancer-related death, but there is still a lack of effective therapeutic to inhibit tumor metastasis. Therefore, the discovery and study of new tumor metastasis regulators is a prominent measure for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a type of non-coding RNAs over 200 bp in length. It has been shown that the abnormally expressed lncRNAs promote tumor metastasis by participating in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, altering the metastatic tumor microenvironment, or changing the extracellular matrix. It is,thus, critical to explore the regulation of lncRNAs expression in cells and the molecular mechanism of lncRNA-mediated cancer metastasis. Simultaneously, it has been shown that lncRNA is one kind of the main components of exosomes, which protects lncRNAs from being rapidly degraded. Meanwhile, the components of exosomes are parent-specific, making exosomal lncRNAs to be potential tumor metastasis markers and therapeutic targets. In view of this, we also summarized the aberrant enrichment of lncRNAs in exosomes and their role in metastatic cancer. The aberrant lncRNAs and exosomal lncRNAs gradually become biomarkers and therapeutic targets for tumor metastatic, and the potential of lncRNAs in therapeutics are studied here. Besides, the lncRNA-related databases, which could greatly facilitate in the study of lncRNAs and exosomal lncRNAs in metastatic of cancer are included in this review.

Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 122:110630. [PMID: 37451017 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
Irreversible cardiotoxicity limits the clinical applications of doxorubicin (DOX). Cardiotoxicity can be detected early using clinical assessment; however, effective preventive measures are still lacking. Peficitinib (ASP015K), a JAK (Janus kinase) inhibitor, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent in autoimmune diseases. Nevertheless, little research has been conducted on anti-ageing and anti-tumour therapies. In this study, we investigated whether ASP015K could attenuate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity through its anti-ageing effects and whether it would affect the tumour treatment effect of DOX by establishing senescence, acute heart injury, and xenograft models. We observed that ASP015K could antagonise the senescence induced by various factors, including hydrogen peroxide and DOX. In addition, ASP015K treatment significantly alleviated cardiac function damage, histopathological deterioration, myocardial fibrosis, and oxidative damage in acute injury mouse models. ASP015K enhanced the sensitivity of tumour cells to DOX therapy and significantly slowed down the tumour growth rate and tumour volume in the xenograft mouse model. Therefore, ASP015K is expected to be developed as a potential cardioprotective agent to prevent or reduce the cardiotoxic side effects of anthracyclines in chemotherapy.

Abstract
The development of osteoarthritis (OA) correlates with the expansion of senescent cells in cartilage, which contributes to an inflammatory microenvironment that accelerates matrix degradation and hampers cartilage generation. To address OA, we synthesized small copper sulfide nanoparticles functionalized with anti-beta-2-microglobulin antibodies (B2M-CuS NPs) that catalyze the formation of toxic •OH from H2O2 via peroxidase-like activity. These B2M-CuS NPs are specifically targeted to induce apoptosis in senescent chondrocytes while showing no toxicity toward normal chondrocytes. Furthermore, B2M-CuS NPs enhance the chondrogenesis of normal chondrocytes. Thus, B2M-CuS NPs can effectively treat OA by clearing senescent chondrocytes and promoting cartilage regeneration after intra-articular injection into the knee joints of surgery-induced OA mice. This study uses smart nanomaterials to treat OA with a synergistic strategy that both remodels senescent cartilage and creates a pro-chondrogenic microenvironment.

Abstract
Asthma is a long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs refers changes that occur in conjunction with, or as a result of, chronic airway inflammation. Airway remodeling the subsequent of inflammation constitutes cellular and extracellular matrix changes in the wall airways, epithelial-to-mesenchymal-transition and airway smooth muscle cell proliferation. Diseases often begin in childhood and despite extensive research, causative pathogenic mechanisms still remain unclear. Transcriptome analysis of childhood asthma reveals distinct gene expression profiles of Long noncoding RNAs which have been reported to play a central regulatory role in various aspects of pathogenesis, clinical course and treatment of asthma. We briefly review current understanding of lnc-RNA dysregulation in children with asthma, focusing on their complex role in the inflammation, cell proliferation and remodeling of airway to guide future researches. We found that the lnc-RNAs increases activity of several oncogenes such c-Myc, Akt, and ERK and various signaling pathways such as MAPK (PI3K, Ras, JNK and p38), NF-κB and Wnt and crosstalk between these pathways by TGFβ, β-catenin, ERK and SKP2. Moreover, two different signal transduction pathways, Wnt and Notch1, can be activated by two lnc-RNAs through sponging the same miRNA for exacerbation cell proliferation.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are one of the most potent therapeutic strategies for repairing cardiac injury. It has been shown in the latest studies that MSCs cannot survive in the heart for a long time. Consequently, the exosomes secreted by MSCs may dominate the repair of heart injury and promote the restoration of cardiac cells, vascular proliferation, immune regulation, etc. Based on the current research, the progress of the acting mechanism, application prospects and challenges of exosomes, including non-coding RNA, in repairing cardiac injuries are summarised in this article.

Abstract
Exosomes are membrane-surrounded extracellular vesicles released by almost all cell types, which mediate intercellular communications by delivering bioactive molecules from secretory cells to recipient cells. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a large class of non-(protein)-coding RNAs with lengths exceeding 200 nucleotides that are very active in the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Increasing evidence suggests that exosomal lncRNAs also play important roles in the progress of CVDs. We focus on the current available studies regarding these extracellular lncRNAs secreted and absorbed by cardiomyocytes and their functional roles in CVDs, hopefully providing a basis for deeper understanding of the pathological mechanisms of CVDs and their potential for clinical diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
More research is being conducted on myocardial cell treatments utilizing stem cell lines that can develop into cardiomyocytes. All of the forms of cardiac illnesses have shown to be quite amenable to treatments using embryonic (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In the present study, we reviewed the differentiation of these cell types into cardiomyocytes from an epigenetic standpoint. We also provided a miRNA network that is devoted to the epigenetic commitment of stem cells toward cardiomyocyte cells and related diseases, such as congenital heart defects, comprehensively. Histone acetylation, methylation, DNA alterations, N6-methyladenosine (m6a) RNA methylation, and cardiac mitochondrial mutations are explored as potential tools for precise stem cell differentiation.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is extensively used for the treatment of kinds of cancers, and cardiovascular toxicity is one of the side effects. However, it is unclear whether DOX causes impairment of cardiac function by promoting atherosclerosis. Thus, we investigated the role of DOX in regulating the lipid deposition of macrophages and its molecular mechanism. RAW 264.7 cell line was stimulated with DOX in the presence or absence of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). We found that DOX increased miR-33 and reduced ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) protein. Moreover, cholesterol efflux was suppressed by DOX, which was more efficient under a high-cholesterol condition. After transfecting mimics or inhibitors of miR-33 into cells, ABCA1 protein was respectively decreased and increased, and intracellular lipid accumulation was correspondingly regulated. Overall, DOX suppresses the expression of ABCA1 protein by upregulating miR-33, promoting an intracellular lipid deposition in macrophages, which is a sign of early atherosclerosis. This provides new insights for clinical observation and evaluation of the side effects of DOX.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide, has been characterized at the molecular level by alterations in gene expression that contribute to the etiology of the disease. Such alterations have been shown to play a critical role in the development of atherosclerosis, cardiac remodeling, and age-related heart failure. Although much is now known about the cellular and molecular mechanisms in this context, the role of epigenetics in the onset of cardiovascular disease remains unclear. Epigenetics, a complex network of mechanisms that regulate gene expression independently of changes to the DNA sequence, has been highly implicated in the loss of homeostasis and the aberrant activation of a myriad of cellular pathways. More specifically, non-coding RNAs have been gaining much attention as epigenetic regulators of various pathologies. In this review, we will provide an overview of the ncRNAs involved in cell-to-cell communication in cardiovascular disease, namely atherosclerosis, cardiac remodeling, and cardiac ageing, and the potential use of epigenetic drugs as novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Global population aging is a major challenge to health and socioeconomic policies. The prevalence of diseases progressively increases with aging, with cardiovascular disease being the major cause of mortality among elderly people. The allostatic overload imposed by the accumulation of cardiac senescent cells has been suggested to play a pivotal role in the aging-related deterioration of cardiovascular function. Senescent cells exhibit intrinsic disorders and release a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Most of these SASP compounds and damaged molecules are released from senescent cells by extracellular vesicles (EVs). Once secreted, these EVs can be readily incorporated by recipient neighboring cells and elicit cellular damage or otherwise can promote extracellular matrix remodeling. This has been associated with the development of cardiac dysfunction, fibrosis, and vascular calcification, among others. The molecular signature of these EVs is highly variable and might provide important information for the development of aging-related biomarkers. Conversely, EVs released by the stem and progenitor cells can exert a rejuvenating effect, raising the possibility of future anti-aging therapies.

Abstract
Cells can communicate in a variety of ways, such as by contacting each other or by secreting certain factors. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been proposed to be mediators of cell communication. EVs are small vesicles with a lipid bilayer membrane that are secreted by cells and contain DNA, RNAs, lipids, and proteins. These EVs are secreted from various cell types and can migrate and be internalized by recipient cells that are the same or different than those that secrete them. EVs harboring various components are involved in regulating gene expression in recipient cells. These EVs may also play important roles in the senescence of cells and the accumulation of senescent cells in the body. Studies on the function of EVs in senescent cells and the mechanisms through which nonsenescent and senescent cells communicate through EVs are being actively conducted. Here, we summarize studies suggesting that EVs secreted from senescent cells can promote the senescence of other cells and that EVs secreted from nonsenescent cells can rejuvenate senescent cells. In addition, we discuss the functional components (proteins, RNAs, and other molecules) enclosed in EVs that enter recipient cells.

Abstract
AKT serine-threonine kinase (AKT) and its effectors are essential for maintaining cell proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, mitochondrial morphogenesis (fission/fusion), ferroptosis, necroptosis, DNA damage response (damage and repair), senescence, and migration of cancer cells. Several lncRNAs and circRNAs also regulate the expression of these functions by numerous pathways. However, the impact on cell functions by lncRNAs and circRNAs regulating AKT and its effectors is poorly understood. This review provides comprehensive information about the relationship of lncRNAs and circRNAs with AKT on the cell functions of cancer cells. the roles of several lncRNAs and circRNAs acting on AKT effectors, such as FOXO, mTORC1/2, S6K1/2, 4EBP1, SREBP, and HIF are explored. To further validate the relationship between AKT, AKT effectors, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, more predicted AKT- and AKT effector-targeting lncRNAs and circRNAs were retrieved from the LncTarD and circBase databases. Consistently, using an in-depth literature survey, these AKT- and AKT effector-targeting database lncRNAs and circRNAs were related to cell functions. Therefore, some lncRNAs and circRNAs can regulate several cell functions through modulating AKT and AKT effectors. This review provides insights into a comprehensive network of AKT and AKT effectors connecting to lncRNAs and circRNAs in the regulation of cancer cell functions.

[PMID: 36132225 PMCID: PMC9484956 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2852251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/06/2022]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a class of effective chemotherapeutic agents widely used in clinical practice. However, its use has been limited by cardiotoxicity. The mechanism of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) is complex, involving oxidative stress, Ca2+ overload, inflammation, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, apoptosis, senescence, etc. Exosomes (EXOs), as extracellular vesicles (EVs), play an important role in the material exchange and signal transmission between cells by carrying components such as proteins and RNAs. More recently, there has been a growing number of publications focusing on the protective effect of EXOs on DIC. Here, this review summarized the main mechanisms of DIC, discussed the mechanism of EXOs in the treatment of DIC, and further explored the value of EXOs as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic strategies for DIC.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality globally. Benefiting from the advantages of early diagnosis and precision medicine, stem cell-based therapies have emerged as promising treatment options for CVDs. However, autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation imposes a potential risk of immunological rejection, infusion toxicity, and oncogenesis. Fortunately, exosome can override these limitations. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in exosome from stem cell paracrine factors play critical roles in stem cell therapy and participate in numerous regulatory processes, including transcriptional silencing, transcriptional activation, chromosome modification, and intranuclear transport. Accordingly, lncRNAs can treat CVDs by directly acting on specific signaling pathways. This mini review systematically summarizes the key regulatory actions of lncRNAs from different stem cells on myocardial aging and apoptosis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, retinopathy, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. In addition, the current challenges and future prospects of lncRNAs treatment for CVDs are discussed.

Abstract
The ability of extracellular vesicles (EVs) to regulate a broad range of cellular processes has recently been used to treat diseases. Growing evidence indicates that EVs play a cardioprotective role in heart disease by activating beneficial signaling pathways. Multiple functional components of EVs and intracellular molecular mechanisms are involved in the process. To overcome the shortcomings of native EVs such as their heterogeneity and limited tropism, a series of engineering approaches has been developed to improve the therapeutic efficiency of EVs. In this review, we present an overview of the research and future directions for EVs-based cardiac therapies with an emphasis on EVs-mediated delivery of therapeutic agents. The advantages and limitations of various modification strategies are discussed, and possible opportunities for improvement are proposed. An in-depth understanding of the endogenous properties of EVs and EVs engineering strategies could lead to a promising cell-free therapy for cardiac repair.

Multiple Roles of SIRT2 in Regulating Physiological and Pathological Signal Transduction. Genet Res (Camb) 2022; 2022:9282484. [PMID: 36101744 PMCID: PMC9444453 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9282484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2022] [Revised: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2), as a member of the sirtuin family, has representative features of evolutionarily highly conserved nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylase activity. In addition, SIRT2, as the only sirtuin protein colocalized with tubulin in the cytoplasm, has its own functions and characteristics. In recent years, studies have increasingly shown that SIRT2 can participate in the regulation of gene expression and regulate signal transduction in the metabolic pathway mainly through its post-translational modification of target genes; thus, SIRT2 has become a key centre in the metabolic pathway and participates in the pathological process of metabolic disorder-related diseases. In this paper, it is discussed that SIRT2 can regulate all aspects of gene expression, including epigenetic modification, replication, transcription and translation, and post-translational modification, which enables SIRT2 to participate in energy metabolism in life activities, and it is clarified that SIRT2 is involved in metabolic process-specific signal transduction mechanisms. Therefore, SIRT2 can be involved in metabolic disorder-related inflammation and oxidative stress, thereby triggering the occurrence of metabolic disorder-related diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, tumours, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Currently, although the role of SIRT2 in some diseases is still controversial, given the multiple roles of SIRT2 in regulating physiological and pathological signal transduction, SIRT2 has become a key target for disease treatment. It is believed that with increasing research, the clinical application of SIRT2 will be promoted.

Abstract
As one of the best-studied long noncoding RNAs, nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) plays a pivotal role in the progression of cancers. NEAT1, especially its isoform NEAT1-1, facilitates the growth and metastasis of various cancers, excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia. NEAT1 can be elevated via transcriptional activation or stability alteration in cancers changing the aggressive phenotype of cancer cells. NEAT1 can also be secreted from other cells and be delivered to cancer cells through exosomes. Hence, elucidating the molecular interaction of NEAT1 may shed light on the future treatment of cancer. Herein, we review the molecular function of NEAT1 in cancer progression, and explain how NEAT1 interacts with RNAs, proteins, and DNA promoter regions to upregulate tumorigenic factors.

Abstract
As a common indication of nervous system diseases, neuroinflammation has attracted more and more attention, especially in the process of a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Two types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are widely involved in the process of neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases, namely long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). However, no research has systematically summarized that lncRNAs and miRNAs regulate neurodegenerative diseases through neuroinflammatory mechanisms. In this study, we summarize four main mechanisms of lncRNAs and miRNAs involved in neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases, including the imbalance between proinflammatory and neuroprotective cells in microglia and astrocytes, NLRP3 inflammasome, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammatory mediators. We hope to clarify the regulatory mechanism of lncRNAs and miRNAs in neurodegenerative diseases and provide new insights into the etiological treatment of neurodegenerative diseases from the perspective of neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Anthracyclines constitute the cornerstone of numerous chemotherapy regimens for various cancers. However, the clinical application of anthracyclines is significantly limited to their dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. A comprehensive understanding of the current status of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is necessary for in-depth research and optimal clinical protocols. Bibliometric analysis is widely applied in depicting development trends and tracking frontiers of a specific field. The present study is aimed at revealing the status and trends of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity during the past two decades by employing bibliometric software including R-bibliometric, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace. A total of 3504 publications concerning anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity from 2002 to 2021 were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Results showed significant growth in annual yields from 90 records in 2002 to 304 papers in 2021. The United States was the most productive country with the strongest collaboration worldwide in the field. Charles University in the Czech Republic was the institution that contributed the most papers, while 7 of the top 10 productive institutions were from the United States. The United States Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health are the two agencies that provide financial support for more than 50% of sponsored publications. The research categories of included publications mainly belong to Oncology and Cardiac Cardiovascular Systems. The Journal of Clinical Oncology had a comprehensive impact on this research field with the highest IF value and many publications. Simunek Tomas from Charles University contributed the most publications, while Lipshultz Steven E. from the State University of New York possessed the highest H-index. In addition, the future research frontiers of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity might include early detection, pharmacogenomics, molecular mechanism, and cardiooncology. The present bibliometric analysis may provide a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in future research directions.

Abstract
Severe inflammation and myogenic differentiation disorder are the major obstacles to skeletal muscle healing after injury. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role as regulatory molecules during the process of muscle healing, but the detailed mechanism of miRNA-mediated intercellular communication between myoblasts and macrophages remains unclear. Here, it is reported that myoblasts secrete miRNAs-enriched exosomes in the inflammatory environment, through which miR-224 is transferred into macrophages to inhibit M2 polarization. Further data demonstrate that WNT-9a may be a direct target of miR-224 for macrophage polarization. In turn, the secretome of M1 macrophages impairs myogenic differentiation and promotes proliferation. Single-cell integration analysis suggests that the elevation of exosome-derived miR-224 is caused by the activation of the key factor E2F1 in myoblasts and demonstrates the RB/E2F1/miR-224/WNT-9a axis. In vivo results show that treatment with antagomir-224 or liposomes containing miR-224 inhibitors suppresses fibrosis and improves muscle recovery. These findings indicate the importance of the crosstalk between myoblasts and macrophages via miRNA-containing exosomes in the regulation of macrophage polarization and myogenic differentiation/proliferation during muscle healing. This study provides a strategy for treating muscle injury through designing an M2 polarization-enabling anti-inflammatory and miRNA-based bioactive material.

Abstract
Senescence is defined as a gradual weakening of functional features of a living organism. Cellular senescence is a process that is principally aimed to remove undesirable cells by prompting tissue remodeling. This process is also regarded as a defense mechanism induced by cellular damage. In the course of oncogenesis, senescence can limit tumor progression. However, senescence participates in the pathoetiology of several disorders such as fibrotic disorders, vascular disorders, diabetes, renal disorders and sarcopenia. Recent studies have revealed contribution of different classes of non-coding RNAs in the cellular senescence. Long non-coding RNAs, microRNAs and circular RNAs are three classes of these transcripts whose contributions in this process have been more investigated. In the current review, we summarize the available literature on the impact of these transcripts in the cellular senescence.

Abstract
Human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have become a promising therapeutic approach against skin aging. Recent studies confirm that exosomes partially mediate the therapeutic effect of stem cells. This study successfully isolated exosomes from the ADSC culture medium and discovered that ADSC-derived exosomes (ADSC-Exos) could alleviate human dermal fibroblast (HDF) senescence and stimulate HDF migration. Moreover, ADSC-Exos increased the type I collagen expression level and reduced the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) activity in HDFs. In addition, we demonstrated that ADSC-Exos significantly inhibited senescence-related protein expression levels of p53, p21, and p16. In conclusion, our results have revealed the antisenescence effects of ADSC-Exos on HDFs and ADSC-Exos may be a novel cell-free therapeutic tool for antiaging.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent type of female cancer with increasing incidence in recent years. Doxorubicin (DOX) is an important backbone chemotherapy in BC, responsible for cardiotoxicity (CTX) in about 9% of treated women within the first year. Biomarkers of early CTX diagnosis are essential to avoid complicated DOX-related cardiac diseases. Traditional serum biomarkers are either poorly sensitive with transient elevation, and even absent if investigated outside their diagnostic window, or arise only in late-stage CTX. Emerging biomarkers such as non-coding RNA (ncRNA) have been recently investigated in DOX-related CTX. In our review, we revised the role of microRNAs, the most studied type of ncRNA, both in animal and human models, highlighting the interesting but often contrasting results. Moreover, we reviewed a novel class of ncRNA, circular RNA (circRNA), focusing on their modulatory mechanisms also involving microRNAs. MicroRNA and circRNA are players in a wide homeostatic balance with their perturbation representing a possible compensation for DOX damage. Further studies are required to assess the modalities of early detection of their variation in BC patients suffering from heart disease induced by DOX treatment.
