Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a common technique in cardiac surgery but is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), which carries considerable morbidity and mortality. In this review, we explore the range and definition of CPB-associated AKI and discuss the possible impact of different disease recognition methods on research outcomes. Furthermore, we introduce the specialized equipment and procedural intricacies associated with CPB surgeries. Based on recent research, we discuss the potential pathogenesis of AKI that may result from CPB, including compromised perfusion and oxygenation, inflammatory activation, oxidative stress, coagulopathy, hemolysis, and endothelial damage. Finally, we explore current interventions aimed at preventing and attenuating renal impairment related to CPB, and presenting these measures from three perspectives: (1) avoiding CPB to eliminate the fundamental impact on renal function; (2) optimizing CPB by adjusting equipment parameters, optimizing surgical procedures, or using improved materials to mitigate kidney damage; (3) employing pharmacological or interventional measures targeting pathogenic factors.

Wang M, Jia L, Song J, Ji X, Meng R, Zhou D. A systematic review of exosomes in remote ischemic conditioning. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 177:117124. [PMID: 38991304 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.117124] [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: 05/19/2024] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is considered a promising non-pharmacological therapeutic strategy to mitigate ischemic injury. Although the precise mechanisms of RIC's protective effects remain elusive, existing data suggest that exosomes contribute significantly to these processes through cell-to-cell communication OBJECTIVE: This review aims to elucidate the role of exosomes in RIC-mediated multi-organ protection. METHODS We systematically searched multiple databases through October 2023 for preclinical studies evaluating the effect of exosomes in ischemic models using RIC procedures. Key outcomes, such as improved organ function and reduced infarct size, were recorded. Articles were selected and data were extracted by independent pairs of reviewers. FINDINGS A total of 16 relevant studies were identified in this review, showing that circulating exosomes derived from the plasma of RIC-treated animals exhibited protective effects akin to those of the RIC procedure itself. Exosome concentrations were measured in eight studies, six of which reported significant increases in the RIC group. Additional findings indicated that RIC might primarily modulate the expression of miRNAs and bioactive molecules delivered by exosomes, rather than directly altering circulating exosome levels. Notably, the expression of 11 distinct exosomal miRNAs was altered after RIC intervention, potentially involving multiple pathways. CONCLUSION Exosomes appear to play a pivotal role in the protective effects induced by RIC. Clarifying their function in RIC under different pathological situations represents a grand challenge for future research.

Irisin preserves mitochondrial integrity and function in tubular epithelial cells after ischemia-reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury. Acta Physiol (Oxf) 2024:e14211. [PMID: 39073055 DOI: 10.1111/apha.14211] [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: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
AIMS A myokine secreted by skeletal muscles during exercise called irisin mitigates ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in epithelial cells of various organs by limiting damage to mitochondria. We test whether irisin may preserve the mitochondrial integrity and function in renal tubular epithelial cells and protect against ischemia-reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS We correlated serum irisin levels with serum creatinine and BUN levels from both AKI patients and healthy individuals. In mice with irisin administration, various renal injury markers such as serum creatinine, BUN, kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and renal histopathology were assessed after I/R. To identify the potential mechanisms of the protective of irisin's protective effect, we perfused proximal tubules under confocal microscopy and analyzed kidney tissues by qPCR, western blot, and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Serum irisin correlated inversely with serum creatinine and BUN levels were significantly lower in AKI patients than in healthy subjects. Administering irisin to mice after I/R decreased biomarker levels for AKI including serum creatinine, BUN, Kim-1, NAGL and lessened histological changes. In kidney tissues of mice, irisin upregulated the mitochondrial autophagy marker protein microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), the mitochondrial autophagy pathway-related proteins PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) and Parkinson's disease 2 parkin (PARK2) and downregulated the reactive substrate protein sequestosome 1 (P62) and mitochondrial membrane proteins translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 (TOM20) and translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 23 (TIM23). CONCLUSION Irisin protects against renal I/R injury, which may involve the preservation of mitochondrial integrity and function.

Abstract
Exosome-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as pivotal players in the pathophysiology of sepsis, representing a new frontier in both the diagnosis and treatment of this complex condition. Sepsis, a severe systemic response to infection, involves intricate immune and nonimmune mechanisms, where exosome-mediated communication can significantly influence disease progression and outcomes. During the progress of sepsis, the miRNA profile of exosomes undergoes notable alterations, is reflecting, and may affect the progression of the disease. This review comprehensively explores the biology of exosome-derived miRNAs, which originate from both immune cells (such as macrophages and dendritic cells) and nonimmune cells (such as endothelial and epithelial cells) and play a dynamic role in modulating pathways that affect the course of sepsis, including those related to inflammation, immune response, cell survival, and apoptosis. Taking into account these dynamic changes, we further discuss the potential of exosome-derived miRNAs as biomarkers for the early detection and prognosis of sepsis and advantages over traditional biomarkers due to their stability and specificity. Furthermore, this review evaluates exosome-based therapeutic miRNA delivery systems in sepsis, which may pave the way for targeted modulation of the septic response and personalized treatment options.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and severe complication of sepsis and is characterized by significant mortality and morbidity. However, the pathogenesis of septic acute kidney injury (S-AKI) remains elusive. Metabolic reprogramming, which was originally referred to as the Warburg effect in cancer, is strongly related to S-AKI. At the onset of sepsis, both inflammatory cells and renal parenchymal cells, such as macrophages, neutrophils and renal tubular epithelial cells, undergo metabolic shifts toward aerobic glycolysis to amplify proinflammatory responses and fortify cellular resilience to septic stimuli. As the disease progresses, these cells revert to oxidative phosphorylation, thus promoting anti-inflammatory reactions and enhancing functional restoration. Alterations in mitochondrial dynamics and metabolic reprogramming are central to the energetic changes that occur during S-AKI. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the pathogenesis of metabolic reprogramming in S-AKI, with a focus on each cell type involved. By identifying relevant key regulatory factors, we also explored potential metabolic reprogramming-related therapeutic targets for the management of S-AKI.

HIF-1 induced tiRNA-Lys-CTT-003 is protective against cisplatin induced ferroptosis of renal tubular cells in mouse AKI model. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2024:167277.

Abstract
HIF-1 activation is protective in acute kidney injury (AKI), but its underlying mechanism is not fully understood. Stress-induced tRNA derived small RNAs play an emerging role in cellular processes. This study investigated the role of HIF-1 associated tiRNA-Lys-CTT-003 (tiR-Lys) in an AKI mouse model. Our sequencing results showed that ischemia can promote the production of renal tiR-Lys by activating HIF-1α. FG-4592, a HIF-1 inducer, can also upregulate the expression of tiR-Lys in renal tubular cells. Both overexpression of tiR-Lys and FG-4592 pre-treatment could improve mitochondrial damage and lipid peroxidation with alleviated renal function and morphological damage in cisplatin-induced AKI mice. While the anti-ferroptosis effect of FG-4592 were largely eliminated by tiR-Lys inhibitor. Notably, tiR-Lys directly alleviated cell death and MDA accumulation induced by the ferroptosis inducer Erastin, accompanied with restored expression of GPX4. RNA-Pulldown and RIP-qPCR results revealed that tiR-Lys can interact with the RNA-binding protein GRSF1.tiR-lys overexpression can preserve protein expression of GRSF1 decreased by cisplatin. Inhibiting Grsf1 via shRNA eliminated the upregulation of GPX4 by tiR-Lys. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that HIF-1α-induced tiR-Lys is protective in cisplatin-induced AKI, primarily by upregulating the level of GPX4 through interaction with GRSF1, thereby inhibiting ferroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells.

Abstract
Macrophages, crucial components of the human immune system, can be polarized into M1/M2 phenotypes, each with distinct functions and roles. Macrophage polarization has been reported to be significantly involved in the inflammation and fibrosis observed in kidney injury. MicroRNA (miRNA), a type of short RNA lacking protein-coding function, can inhibit specific mRNA by partially binding to its target mRNA. The intricate association between miRNAs and macrophages has been attracting increasing interest in recent years. This review discusses the role of miRNAs in regulating macrophage-mediated kidney injury. It shows how miRNAs can influence macrophage polarization, thereby altering the biological function of macrophages in the kidney. Furthermore, this review highlights the significance of miRNAs derived from exosomes and extracellular vesicles as a crucial mediator in the crosstalk between macrophages and kidney cells. The potential of miRNAs as treatment applications and biomarkers for macrophage-mediated kidney injury is also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients with sepsis, and early detection and timely treatment are crucial. This article aims to explore the clinical role of microRNA-155 (miR-155) in early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of septic patients with acute kidney injury. METHODS We collected the blood samples of septic patients and measured the relative expression of serum miR-155 by RT-qPCR, and drew the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to evaluate its early diagnosis for septic AKI. RESULTS The relative expression of miR-155 in the septic AKI was significantly higher than that in the septic non-AKI, and increased with the aggravation of renal function damage. The ROC curve of miR-155 for the diagnosis of septic AKI was 1.91 (95% CI: 1.61-2.19). When the optimal cut-off value of miR-155 expression was 2.37, its sensitivity for diagnosing septic AKI was 91.12% (95% CI: 80.41-95.07%), and its specificity was 84.52% (95% CI: 71.74-89.36%). Furthermore, the severity of kidney injury, SOFA score, APACHE II score and miR-155 were the risk factors affecting the prognosis of septic patients with AKI. CONCLUSION Serum miR-155 can be used as a novel biomarker for the early diagnosis of septic AKI, and also has important clinical value in the prognosis evaluation of septic patients with AKI.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a prevalent degenerative skeletal muscle condition in the elderly population, posing a tremendous burden on diseased individuals and healthcare systems worldwide. Conventionally, sarcopenia is currently managed through nutritional interventions, physical therapy, and lifestyle modification, with no pharmaceutical agents being approved for specific use in this disease. As the pathogenesis of sarcopenia is still poorly understood and there is no treatment recognized as universally effective, recent research efforts have been directed at better comprehending this illness and diversifying treatment strategies. In this respect, this paper overviews the new advances in sarcopenia treatment in correlation with its underlying mechanisms. Specifically, this review creates an updated framework for sarcopenia, describing its etiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, and conventional treatments, further discussing emerging therapeutic approaches like new drug formulations, drug delivery systems, stem cell therapies, and tissue-engineered scaffolds in more detail.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a sudden and continuous decline in renal function. The drug cisplatin is commonly used as chemotherapy for solid tumors, and cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), which is characterized by acute tubular necrosis and inflammation, frequently occurs in tumor patients. Renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) are severely damaged early in this process and play an important role in renal tubular injury and the recruitment of immune cells. Macrophages are the most common infiltrating immune cells in the kidney and have a significant impact on CI-AKI and subsequent repair. This article reviews the latest research progress on the effects of RTECs and macrophages on CI-AKI and their interactions in AKI to provide a direction for identifying therapeutic targets for treating AKI.

Abstract
In recent decades, renal disease research has witnessed remarkable advances. Experimental evidence in this field has highlighted the role of inflammation in kidney disease. Epigenetic dynamics and immunometabolic reprogramming underlie the alterations in cellular responses to intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli; these factors determine cell identity and cell fate decisions and represent current research hotspots. This review focuses on recent findings and emerging concepts in epigenetics and inflammatory regulation and their effect on renal diseases. This review aims to summarize the role and mechanisms of different epigenetic modifications in renal inflammation and injury and provide new avenues for future research on inflammation-related renal disease and drug development.

Abstract
Ischemia reperfusion (I/R) is a common pathological process which occurs mostly in organs like the heart, brain, kidney, and lung. The injury caused by I/R gradually becomes one of the main causes of fatal diseases, which is an urgent clinical problem to be solved. Although great progress has been made in therapeutic methods, including surgical, drug, gene therapy, and transplant therapy for I/R injury, the development of effective methods to cure the injury remains a worldwide challenge. In recent years, exosomes have attracted much attention for their important roles in immune response, antigen presentation, cell migration, cell differentiation, and tumor invasion. Meanwhile, exosomes have been shown to have great potential in the treatment of I/R injury in organs. The study of the exosome-mediated signaling pathway can not only help to reveal the mechanism behind exosomes promoting reperfusion injury recovery, but also provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of exosomes. Here, we review the research progress in utilizing various exosomes from different cell types to promote the healing of I/R injury, focusing on the classical signaling pathways such as PI3K/Akt, NF-κB, Nrf2, PTEN, Wnt, MAPK, toll-like receptor, and AMPK. The results suggest that exosomes regulate these signaling pathways to reduce oxidative stress, regulate immune responses, decrease the expression of inflammatory cytokines, and promote tissue repair, making exosomes a competitive emerging vector for treating I/R damage in organs.

Cell Signal 2024; 114:111007. [PMID: 38081444 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.111007] [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: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/01/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the expression and secretion mechanism of glypican-3 (GPC3) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells under hypoxic conditions, and its role in tumor progression. METHODS Huh7 cells with and without the knockdown of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) were cultured under 1% O2 for varying durations to induce hypoxia. The expression levels of GPC3, HSP70, CD63, STX11 and SYT7 in the cytoplasm and exosomes of Huh7 cells were evaluated by western blotting and immunofluorescence. GPC3 protein expression was further measured in cells treated with GW4869 under hypoxic conditions. Huh7 cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured with the exosomes extracted from the control and GPC3-knockdown cells, the cell proliferation, migration, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), invasion, and in vitro angiogenesis were analyzed. Tumor xenografts were established to assess the role of GPC3-deficient exosomes in tumor growth. RESULTS Hypoxic culture conditions downregulated GPC3, STX11 and SYT7 protein levels in the Huh7 cells and upregulated GPC3 mRNA, and also increased GPC3 protein expression in the exosomes. HIF-1α knockdown, as well as treatment with GW4869, upregulated GPC3 protein in the Huh7 cells grown under 1% O2, but downregulated exosomal GPC3. Furthermore, exosomes derived from the GPC3-knockdown cells inhibited the proliferation and migration of Huh7 cells, decreased the expression of N-cadherin, vimentin, β-catenin, c-Myc and cyclin D1, and increased that of E-cadherin. Likewise, the GPC3-deficient exosomes also suppressed the invasion and tube formation ability of the HUVECs compared to that of control cells. Consistent with the in vitro results, the GPC3-deficient exosomes also repressed tumor growth in vivo. CONCLUSION Hypoxia promoted secretion of exosomal GPC3 through the activation of HIF-1α. GPC3-deficient exosomes inhibited the proliferation, migration and EMT of HCC cells via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and suppressed the angiogenic potential of HUVECs. This provided a novel understanding of the role of exosomal GPC3 in HCC progression.

Abstract
Immune disorders caused by sepsis have recently drawn much attention. We sought to dynamically monitor the expression of small extracellular vesicle (sEV) miRNAs in peripheral blood during sepsis to explore these miRNAs as potential biomarkers for monitoring immune function in sepsis patients. This study included patients with sepsis. Blood samples were obtained from 10 patients on the first through 10th days, the 12th day and the 14th day since sepsis onset, resulting in 120 collected samples. Serum sEVs were extracted from peripheral venous blood, and levels of MIR497HG, miR-195, miR-497, and PD-L1 in serum sEVs were detected by qPCR, and clinical information was recorded. Our study revealed that the levels of MIR497HG, miR-195, miR-497 and PD-L1 in serum sEVs showed periodic changes; the time from peak to trough was approximately 4-5 days. The levels of sEV MIR497HG and miR-195 had a positive linear relationship with SOFA score (r values were -0.181 and -0.189; p values were 0.048 and 0.039, respectively). The recorded quantities of sEV MIR497HG, miR-195 and PD-L1 showed a substantial correlation with ARDS. ROC curve analysis revealed that sEV MIR497HG, miR-195 and miR-497 could predict the 28-day mortality of sepsis patients with an AUC of 0.66, 0.68 and 0.72, respectively. Levels of sEVs MIR497HG, miR-195, miR-497 and PD-L1 showed periodic changes with the immune status of sepsis, which provides a new exploration direction for immune function biomarkers and immunotherapy timing in sepsis patients.

Abstract
Although cisplatin is an effective chemotherapy drug for the treatment of various cancers, its clinical use is limited due to its side effects, especially nephrotoxicity. Unfortunately, acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by cisplatin remains one of the main challenges in effective cancer treatment. Evidence increasingly suggests that renal inflammation and pyroptotic inflammatory cell death of renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) mainly determine the progression and outcome of cisplatin-induced AKI. However, it is not clear how cisplatin regulates the pyroptosis of RTECs cells in AKI. The current study aimed to determine the regulation mechanism of AKI induced by cisplatin. We used cisplatin to induce AKI in vivo. We performed H&E staining of mouse kidney tissue sections and evaluated serological indicators of kidney injury (including blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)). We used immunohistochemistry and western blot to detect the important substrate protein gasdermin D (GSDMD) and key target caspase-1 of pyroptosis, respectively. Cisplatin induced mouse AKI and RTECs pyroptosis. HK2 cell-derived exosomes treated with cisplatin influenced pyroptosis of the surrounding HK2 cells. Cisplatin-treated HK2 cells exosome-derived miR-122 regulated pyroptosis in the surrounding cells. Exosome-derived miR-122 affected cisplatin-induced AKI and HK2 cells pyroptosis by regulating the expression of embryonic lethal abnormal vision (ELAVL1). These results suggest that exosome miR-122 inhibited pyroptosis and AKI by targeting ELAVL1 under cisplatin treatment, and this offers a potential target for the treatment of AKI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe health problem associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. It currently lacks specific therapeutic strategies. This review focuses on the mechanisms underlying the actions of exosomes derived from different cell sources, including red blood cells, macrophages, monocytes, mesenchymal stem cells, and renal tubular cells, in AKI. We also investigate the effects of various exosome contents (such as miRNA, lncRNA, circRNA, mRNA, and proteins) in promoting renal tubular cell regeneration and angiogenesis, regulating autophagy, suppressing inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, and preventing fibrosis to facilitate AKI repair. Moreover, we highlight the interactions between macrophages and renal tubular cells through exosomes, which contribute to the progression of AKI. Additionally, exosomes and their contents show promise as potential biomarkers for diagnosing AKI. The engineering of exosomes has improved their clinical potential by enhancing isolation and enrichment, target delivery to injured renal tissues, and incorporating small molecular modifications for clinical use. However, further research is needed to better understand the specific mechanisms underlying exosome actions, their delivery pathways to renal tubular cells, and the application of multi-omics research in studying AKI.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in anti-infective treatment and organ function support technology in recent years, the mortality rate of sepsis remains high. In addition to the high costs of sepsis treatment, the increasing consumption of medical resources also aggravates economic pressure and social burden. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane vesicles released from different types of activated or apoptotic cells to mediate intercellular communication, which can be detected in both human and animal body fluids. A growing body of researches suggest that EVs play an important role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. In this review, we summarize the predominant roles of EVs in various pathological processes during sepsis and its related organ dysfunction.

Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory reaction caused by infection. Severe sepsis can lead to multiple organ dysfunction, with a high incidence rate and mortality. The molecular pathogenesis of sepsis is complex and diverse. In recent years, with further study of the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in inflammatory diseases, it has been found that EVs play a dual role in the imbalance of inflammatory response in sepsis. Due to the great advantages such as lower toxicity, lower immunogenicity compared with stem cells and better circulation stability, EVs are increasingly used for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis. The roles of EVs in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of sepsis were summarized to guide further clinical studies.

Abstract
Microbial diseases are a great threat to global health and cause considerable mortality and extensive economic losses each year. The medications for treating this group of diseases (antibiotics, antiviral, antifungal drugs, etc.) directly attack the pathogenic agents by recognizing the target molecules. However, it is necessary to note that excessive use of any of these drugs can lead to an increase in microbial resistance and infectious diseases. New therapeutic methods have been studied recently using emerging drugs such as mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which act based on two completely different strategies against pathogens including Host-Directed Therapy (HDT) and Pathogen-Directed Therapy (PDT), respectively. In the PDT approach, AMPs interact directly with pathogens to interrupt their intrusion, survival, and proliferation. These drugs interact directly with the cell membrane or intracellular components of pathogens and cause the death of pathogens or inhibit their replication. The mechanism of action of MSC-Exos in HDT is based on immunomodulation and regulation, promotion of tissue regeneration, and reduced host toxicity. This review studies the potential of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes/ATPs therapeutic properties against microbial infectious diseases especially pulmonary infections and sepsis.

Abstract
Septic acute kidney injury (SAKI) is one of the most common and life-threatening complications of sepsis. Patients with SAKI have increased mortality. However, the underlying pathogenesis is unclear, and the treatment targeting SAKI is unsatisfactory. Thus, identifying optimal biomarkers for SAKI diagnosis and treatment is an urgent requisite. Accumulating evidence indicates that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are involved in the occurrence and progression of SAKI. In the present review, we summarized the studies of ncRNAs in SAKI, including microRNAs (miRNAs), long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs). The ncRNAs are divided into protective and damage factors according to their role in SAKI, and their expression patterns, functions, and molecular mechanisms were elaborated. Next, we proposed that ncRNAs have the potential to be diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for SAKI and as new therapeutic targets. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of ncRNAs in SKAI and explored the clinical value of ncRNAs as ideal biomarkers of SAKI.

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

Abstract
Post-transcriptional regulation by non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) can modulate the expression of genes involved in kidney physiology and disease. A large variety of ncRNA species exist, including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, piwi-interacting RNAs, small nucleolar RNAs, circular RNAs and yRNAs. Despite early assumptions that some of these species may exist as by-products of cell or tissue injury, a growing body of literature suggests that these ncRNAs are functional and participate in a variety of processes. Although they function intracellularly, ncRNAs are also present in the circulation, where they are carried by extracellular vesicles, ribonucleoprotein complexes or lipoprotein complexes such as HDL. These systemic, circulating ncRNAs are derived from specific cell types and can be directly transferred to a variety of cells, including endothelial cells of the vasculature and virtually any cell type in the kidney, thereby affecting the function of the host cell and/or its response to injury. Moreover, chronic kidney disease itself, as well as injury states associated with transplantation and allograft dysfunction, is associated with a shift in the distribution of circulating ncRNAs. These findings may provide opportunities for the identification of biomarkers with which to monitor disease progression and/or the development of therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Introduction Pneumonia-induced sepsis can cause multiple organ dysfunction including acute lung and kidney injury (ALI and AKI). Surfactant protein A (SP-A), a critical innate immune molecule, is expressed in the lung and kidney. Extracellular vesicles like exosomes are involved in the processes of pathophysiology. Here we tested one hypothesis that SP-A regulates pneumonia-induced AKI through the modulation of exosomes and cell death. Methods Wild-type (WT), SP-A knockout (KO), and humanized SP-A transgenic (hTG, lung-specific SP-A expression) mice were used in this study. Results After intratracheal infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, KO mice showed increased mortality, higher injury scores, more severe inflammation in the lung and kidney, and increased serum TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels compared to WT and hTG mice. Infected hTG mice exhibited similar lung injury but more severe kidney injury than infected WT mice. Increased renal tubular apoptosis and pyroptosis in the kidney of KO mice were found when compared with WT and hTG mice. We found that serum exosomes from septic mice cause ALI and AKI through mediating apoptosis and proptosis when mice were injected intravenously. Furthermore, primary proximal tubular epithelial cells isolated from KO mice showed more sensitivity than those from WT mice after exposure to septic serum exosomes. Discussion Collectively, SP-A attenuates pneumonia-induced ALI and AKI by regulating inflammation, apoptosis and pyroptosis; serum exosomes are important mediators in the pathogenesis of AKI.

Abstract
Cancer is designated as one of the principal causes of mortality universally. Among different types of cancer, brain cancer remains the most challenging one due to its aggressiveness, the ineffective permeation ability of drugs through the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and drug resistance. To overcome the aforementioned issues in fighting brain cancer, there is an imperative need for designing novel therapeutic approaches. Exosomes have been proposed as prospective "Trojan horse" nanocarriers of anticancer theranostics owing to their biocompatibility, increased stability, permeability, negligible immunogenicity, prolonged circulation time, and high loading capacity. This review provides a comprehensive discussion on the biological properties, physicochemical characteristics, isolation methods, biogenesis and internalization of exosomes, while it emphasizes their therapeutic and diagnostic potential as drug vehicle systems in brain cancer, highlighting recent advances in the research field. A comparison of the biological activity and therapeutic effectiveness of several exosome-encapsulated cargo including drugs and biomacromolecules underlines their great supremacy over the non-exosomal encapsulated cargo in the delivery, accumulation, and biological potency. Various studies on cell lines and animals give prominence to exosome-based nanoparticles (NPs) as a promising and alternative approach in the management of brain cancer.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a global health problem and has recently been recognized as a risk factor for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Unfortunately, there are no effective treatments to reduce or prevent AKI, which results in high morbidity and mortality rates. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has emerged as a promising strategy to prevent, to the extent possible, renal tissue from AKI. Several studies have used this strategy, which involves short or long cycles of ischemia/reperfusion (IR) prior to a potential fatal ischemic injury. In most of these studies, IPC was effective at reducing renal damage. Since the first study that showed renoprotection due to IPC, several studies have focused on finding the best strategy to activate correctly and efficiently reparative mechanisms, generating different modalities with promising results. In addition, the studies performing remote IPC, by inducing an ischemic process in distant tissues before a renal IR, are also addressed. Here, we review in detail existing studies on IPC strategies for AKI pathophysiology and the proposed triggering mechanisms that have a positive impact on renal function and structure in animal models of AKI and in humans, as well as the prospects and challenges for its clinical application.

Abstract
ObjectiveStudies have shown that remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) can effectively attenuate ischemic-reperfusion injury in the heart and brain, but the effect on ischemic-reperfusion injury in patients with kidney transplantation or partial nephrectomy remains controversial. The main objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate whether RIC provides renal protection after renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing kidney transplantation or partial nephrectomy.MethodsA computer-based search was conducted to retrieve relevant publications from the PubMed database, Embase database, Cochrane Library and Web of Science database. We then conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that met our study inclusion criteria.ResultsEleven eligible studies included a total of 1,145 patients with kidney transplantation or partial nephrectomy for systematic review and meta-analysis, among whom 576 patients were randomly assigned to the RIC group and the remaining 569 to the control group. The 3-month estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was improved in the RIC group, which was statistically significant between the two groups on kidney transplantation [P < 0.001; mean difference (MD) = 2.74, confidence interval (CI): 1.41 to 4.06; I2 = 14%], and the 1- and 2-day postoperative Scr levels in the RIC group decreased, which was statistically significant between the two groups on kidney transplantation (1-day postoperative: P < 0.001; MD = 0.10, CI: 0.05 to 0.15, I2 = 0; 2-day postoperative: P = 0.006; MD = 0.41, CI: 0.12 to 0.70, I2 = 0), but at other times, there was no significant difference between the two groups in Scr levels. The incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) decreased, but there was no significant difference (P = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.67 to 1.26). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of cross-clamp time, cold ischemia time, warm ischemic time, acute rejection (AR), graft loss or length of hospital stay.ConclusionOur meta-analysis showed that the effect of remote ischemia conditioning on reducing serum creatinine (Scr) and improving estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) seemed to be very weak, and we did not observe a significant protective effect of RIC on renal ischemic-reperfusion. Due to small sample sizes, more studies using stricter inclusion criteria are needed to elucidate the nephroprotective effect of RIC in renal surgery in the future.

Cell Biosci 2023; 13:57. [PMID: 36927808 PMCID: PMC10018930 DOI: 10.1186/s13578-023-00999-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To study the protective effects of delayed remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) against spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury (SCIRI) in mice and determine whether SIRT3 is involved in this protection and portrayed its upstream regulatory mechanisms. METHODS In vivo, WT or SIRT3 global knockout (KO) mice were exposed to right upper and lower limbs RIPC or sham ischemia. After 24 h, the abdominal aorta was clamped for 20 min, then re-perfused for 3 days. The motor function of mice, number of Nissl bodies, apoptotic rate of neurons, and related indexes of oxidative stress in the spinal cord were measured to evaluate for neuroprotective effects. The expression and correlation of SIRT3 and NMDAR were detected by WB and immunofluorescence. In vitro, primary neurons were exacted and OGD/R was performed to simulate SCIRI in vivo. Neuronal damage was assessed by observing neuron morphology, detecting LDH release ratio, and flow cytometry to analyze the apoptosis. MnSOD and CAT enzyme activities, GSH and ROS level were also measured to assess neuronal antioxidant capacity. NMDAR-AMPK-PGC-1α signaling was detected by WB to portray upstream regulatory mechanisms of RIPC regulating SIRT3. RESULTS Compared to the SCIRI mice without RIPC, mice with RIPC displayed improved motor function recovery, a reduced neuronal loss, and enhanced antioxidant capacity. To the contrary, the KO mice did not exhibit any effect of RIPC-induced neuroprotection. Similar results were observed in vitro. Further analyses with spinal cord tissues or primary neurons detected enhanced MnSOD and CAT activities, as well as increased GSH level but decreased MDA or ROS production in the RIPC + I/R mice or NMDA + OGD/R neurons. However, these changes were completely inhibited by the absence of SIRT3. Additionally, NMDAR-AMPK-PGC-1α signaling was activated to upregulate SIRT3 levels, which is essential for RIPC-mediated neuroprotection. CONCLUSIONS RIPC enhances spinal cord ischemia tolerance in a SIRT3-dependent manner, and its induced elevated SIRT3 levels are mediated by the NMDAR-AMPK-PGC-1α signaling pathway. Combined therapy targeting SIRT3 is a promising direction for treating SCIRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Acute kidney injury (AKI) is often associated with poor patient outcomes. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have a marked therapeutic effect on renal recovery. This study sought to explore the functional mechanism of EVs from adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) in tubular epithelial cell (TEC) repair in AKI. METHODS ADSCs were cultured and EVs were isolated and identified. In vivo and in vitro AKI models were established using lipopolysaccharide (LPS). RESULTS EVs increased human kidney 2 (HK-2) cell viability; decreased terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling-positive cells and levels of kidney injury molecule 1, cleaved caspase-1, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD, gasdermin D-N, IL-18 and IL-1β; and elevated pro-caspase-1. EVs carried miR-21-5p into LPS-induced HK-2 cells. Silencing miR-21-5p partly eliminated the ability of EVs to suppress HK-2 cell pyroptosis and inflammation. miR-21-5p targeted toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and inhibited TEC pyroptosis and inflammation after AKI by inhibiting TLR4. TLR4 overexpression blocked the inhibitory effects of EVs on TEC pyroptosis and inflammation. EVs suppressed the nuclear factor-κB/NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NF-κB/NLRP3) pathway via miR-21-5p/TLR4. Finally, AKI mouse models were established and in vivo assays verified that ADSC-EVs reduced TEC pyroptosis and inflammatory response and potentiated cell repair by mediating miR-21-5p in AKI mice. CONCLUSIONS ADSC-EVs inhibited inflammation and TEC pyroptosis and promoted TEC repair in AKI by mediating miR-21-5p to target TLR4 and inhibiting the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening disease that results from a severe systemic inflammatory response due to infection. Mesenchymal stromal cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSC sEVs) are able to transfer bioactive molecules and have been demonstrated to play an important role in the pathophysiological process of sepsis. Herein the authors aimed to investigate the potential role and downstream molecular mechanism of MSC sEVs in sepsis. METHODS MSC sEVs were acquired by ultracentrifugation and then injected into a cecal ligation and puncture mouse model. The efficacy of MSC sEVs in both in vitro and in vivo models of sepsis was evaluated. RESULTS MSC sEV therapy improved survival, reduced sepsis-induced inflammation, attenuated pulmonary capillary permeability and improved liver and kidney function in septic mice. In addition, the authors found that microRNA-21a-5p (miR-21a-5p) was highly enriched in MSC sEVs, could be transferred to recipient cells, inhibited inflammation and increased survival in septic mice. Furthermore, the authors demonstrated that MSC sEV miR-21a-5p suppressed inflammation by targeting toll-like receptor 4 and programmed cell death 4. The therapeutic efficacy of MSC sEVs was partially abrogated by transfection with miR-21a-5p inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, the authors' data suggest that miR-21a-5p-bearing MSC sEVs may be a prospective and effective sepsis therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction, caused by dysregulation of the host response to infection. To understand the underlying mechanisms of sepsis, the vast spectrum of extracellular vesicles (EVs) is gaining importance in this research field. A connection between EVs and sepsis was shown in 1998 in an endotoxemia pig model. Since then, the number of studies describing EVs as markers and mediators of sepsis increased steadily. Extracellular vesicles in sepsis could be friends and foes at the same time depending on their origin and cargo. On the one hand, transfer of EVs or outer membrane vesicles can induce sepsis or systemic inflammatory response syndrome with comparable efficiency as well-established methods, such as cecal ligation puncture or lipopolysaccharide injection. On the other hand, EVs could provide certain therapeutic effects, mediated via reduction of reactive oxygen species, inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, influence on macrophage polarization and apoptosis, as well as increase of anti-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, EVs could be helpful in the diagnosis of sepsis. Extracellular vesicles of different cellular origin, such as leucocytes, macrophages, platelets, and granulocytes, have been suggested as potential sepsis biomarkers. They ensure the diagnosis of sepsis earlier than classical clinical inflammation markers, such as C-reactive protein, leucocytes, or IL-6. This review summarizes the three roles of EVs in sepsis-mediator/inducer, biomarker, and therapeutic tool.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 110:154623. [PMID: 36608504 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neohesperidin dihydrochalbazone (NHDC) shows a range of pharmacological actions, however, in septic acute kidney injury (AKI), the effect of NHDC is little known. PURPOSE To assess the role of NHDC against AKI and the possible mechanisms. METHODS In vivo, we used different concentration of NHDC (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg) treated septic AKI model of mice. Moreover, in vitro, in HK-2 cells, a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced cell model was treated with 10, 20, and 30 μM NHDC. Next, kidney tissue pathologic change, marker of renal injury, apoptosis, and inflammatory factors were assessed using hematoxylin and eosin staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling, and western blot. HK-2 cell apoptosis and viability were assessed via flow cytometry and cell counting kit-8. In HK-2 cells and tissues, NLRP3, caspase 1, ASC, and P38/ERK 1/2/JNK pathway related protein levels were tested using western blot. RESULTS NHDC (100 and 200 mg/kg) significantly attenuated kidney injury in caecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-treated mice. In CLP-treated mice, the level of BUN, Scr, KIM-1, and NAGL was reduced by 100 and 200 mg/kg NHDC. Furthermore, 100 and 200 mg/kg NHDC inhibited inflammation by reducing the production of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β, and inhibited oxidative stress by regulating the change of MDA, SOD, GSH, and CAT. NHDC (100 and 200 mg/kg) inhibited renal cell apoptosis by increasing Bcl2 protein expression and inhibiting Bax and cleaved caspase-3 protein expression. Additionally, NHDC (100 and 200 mg/kg) inhibited the protein levels of phosphorylated (p)-P38, p-JNK, p-ERK 1/2, NLRP3, caspase 1, ASC. In vitro, in LPS-stimulated HK-2 cells, NHDC (20 and 30 μM) increased cell viability, reduced cell apoptosis, restrained inflammation by reducing the content of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β, and inhibited the protein expression of caspase 1, NLRP3, ASC, p-P38, p-JNK, and p-ERK1/2. Importantly, the promotive effect of NHDC on HK-2 cell viability was reversed by DHR (an activator of P38 MAPK signaling pathway), and DHR reversed the inhibitive effects of NHDC on HK-2 cell apoptosis and inflammation. CONCLUSION For the first time, NHDC was found to inhibit oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in AKI model, which was related to the inhibition of P38 MAPK pathways. Our findings provided the theoretical basis for NHDC on the prevention of AKI.

Abstract
The pathologies of the kidney and heart have instigated a large number of researchers around the world to try to better understand what the exact connectors responsible for the emergence and establishment of these diseases are. The classification of these pathologies into different types of cardiorenal syndromes (CRSs) over the last 15 years has greatly contributed to understanding pathophysiological and diagnostic aspects, as well as treatment strategies. However, with the advent of new technologies classified as "Omics", a new range of knowledge and new possibilities have opened up in order to effectively understand the intermediaries between the kidney-heart axis. The universe of micro-RNAs (miRNAs), epigenetic factors, and components present in extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been protagonists in studying different types of CRSs. Thus, the new challenge that is imposed is to select and link the large amount of information generated from the use of large-scale analysis techniques. The present review seeks to present some of the future perspectives related to understanding CRSs, with an emphasis on CRS type 3.

Abstract
Sepsis is a potentially fatal complication of burns and trauma that can cause acute kidney injury (AKI) with substantial morbidity and mortality, but this disease is poorly understood. Despite medical advances, effective therapeutic regimens for septic AKI remain uncommon. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs that influence the translation of target messenger RNAs in a variety of biological processes. Emerging evidence has shown that miRNAs are intimately associated with septic AKI. The goal of this review was to summarize recent advances in the profound understanding of the functional role of miRNAs in septic AKI, as well as to provide new insights into miRNAs as feasible biomarkers and therapeutic targets for septic AKI.

Abstract
Hypoxia induces changes in the secretion of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in several non-neuronal cells and pathological conditions. EVs are packed with biomolecules, such as microRNA(miR)-21-5p, which respond to hypoxia. However, the true EV association of miR-21-5p, and its functional or biomarker relevance, are inadequately characterised. Neurons are extremely sensitive cells, and it is not known whether the secretion of neuronal EVs and miR-21-5p are altered upon hypoxia. Here, we characterised the temporal EV secretion profile and cell viability of neurons under hypoxia. Hypoxia induced a rapid increase of miR-21a-5p secretion in the EVs, which preceded the elevation of hypoxia-induced tissue or cellular miR-21a-5p. Prolonged hypoxia induced cell death and the release of morphologically distinct EVs. The EVs protected miR-21a-5p from enzymatic degradation but a remarkable fraction of miR-21a-5p remained fragile and non-EV associated. The increase in miR-21a-5p secretion may have biomarker potential, as high blood levels of miR-21-5p in stroke patients were associated with significant disability at hospital discharge. Our data provides an understanding of the dynamic regulation of EV secretion from neurons under hypoxia and provides a candidate for the prediction of recovery from ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Sepsis is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. The early diagnosis and effective treatment of sepsis still face challenges due to its rapid progression, dynamic changes, and strong heterogeneity among different individuals. To develop novel strategies to control sepsis, a better understanding of the complex mechanisms of sepsis is vital. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane vesicles released from cells through different mechanisms. In the disease state, the number of EVs produced by activated or apoptotic cells and the cargoes they carry were altered. They regulated the function of local or distant host cells in autocrine or paracrine ways. Current studies have found that EVs are involved in the occurrence and development of sepsis through multiple pathways. In this review, we focus on changes in the cargoes of EVs in sepsis, the regulatory roles of EVs derived from host cells and bacteria, and how EVs are involved in multiple pathological processes and organ dysfunction in sepsis. Overall, EVs have great application prospects in sepsis, such as early diagnosis of sepsis, dynamic monitoring of disease, precise therapeutic targets, and prevention of sepsis as a vaccine platform.

Abstract
Preconditioning episodes of ischemia/reperfusion (IR) induce protection against acute kidney injury (AKI), however their long-term effect still unknown. We evaluated AKI to chronic kidney disease (CKD) transition, after three-mild or three-severe episodes of IR. AKI was induced by single bilateral IR (1IR), or three episodes of IR separated by 10-day intervals (3IR) of mild (20 min) or severe (45 min) ischemia. Sham-operated rats served as controls. During 9-months, the 1IR group (20 or 45 min) developed CKD evidenced by progressive proteinuria and renal fibrosis. In contrast, the long-term adverse effects of AKI were markedly ameliorated in the 3IR group. The acute response in 3IR, contrasted with the 1IR group, that was characterized by an increment in heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and an anti-inflammatory response mediated by a NFkB-p65 phosphorylation and IL-6 decrease, together with an increase in TGF-β, and IL-10 expression, as well as in M2-macrophages. In addition, three episodes of IR downregulated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers expression, CHOP and BiP. Thus, repeated episodes of IR with 10-day intervals induced long-term renal protection accompanied with HO-1 overexpression and M2-macrophages increase.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles form a complex intercellular communication network, shuttling a variety of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, including regulatory RNAs, such as microRNAs. Transfer of these molecules to target cells allows for the modulation of sets of genes and mediates multiple paracrine and endocrine actions. EVs exert broad pro-inflammatory, pro-oxidant, and pro-apoptotic effects in sepsis, mediating microvascular dysfunction and multiple organ damage. This deleterious role is well documented in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. On the other hand, protective effects of stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles have been reported in experimental models of sepsis. Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles recapitulate beneficial cytoprotective, regenerative, and immunomodulatory properties of parental cells and have shown therapeutic effects in experimental models of sepsis with kidney and lung involvement. Extracellular vesicles are also likely to play a role in deranged kidney-lung crosstalk, a hallmark of sepsis, and may be key to a better understanding of shared mechanisms underlying multiple organ dysfunction. In this review, we analyze the state-of-the-art knowledge on the dual role of EVs in sepsis-associated kidney/lung injury and repair. PubMed library was searched from inception to July 2022, using a combination of medical subject headings (MeSH) and keywords related to EVs, sepsis, acute kidney injury (AKI), acute lung injury (ALI), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Key findings are summarized into two sections on detrimental and beneficial mechanisms of actions of EVs in kidney and lung injury, respectively. The role of EVs in kidney-lung crosstalk is then outlined. Efforts to expand knowledge on EVs may pave the way to employ them as prognostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets to prevent or reduce organ damage in sepsis.

Abstract
There are several types of kidney diseases with complex causes. If left untreated, these diseases irreversibly progress to end-stage renal disease. Thus, their early diagnosis and targeted treatment are important. Exosomes—extracellular vesicles released by a variety of cells—are ideal carriers for DNA, RNA, proteins, and other metabolites owing to their bilayer membranes. Studies have shown that almost all renal cells can secrete exosomes. While research on exosomal microRNAs in the context of renal diseases begun only recently, rapid progress has been achieved. This review summarizes the changes in exosomal microRNA expression in different kidney diseases. Thus, it highlights the diagnostic and prognostic value of these exosomal microRNAs. Further, this review analyzes their roles in the development of different kidney diseases, guiding research on molecular mechanisms and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by degrading or repressing the translation of their target messenger RNAs. As miRNAs are critical regulators of cellular homeostasis, their dysregulation is a crucial component of cell and organ injury. A substantial body of evidence indicates that miRNAs are involved in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease and allograft damage. Different subsets of miRNAs are dysregulated during AKI, chronic kidney disease and allograft rejection, which could reflect differences in the physiopathology of these conditions. miRNAs that have been investigated in AKI include miR-21, which has an anti-apoptotic role, and miR-214 and miR-668, which regulate mitochondrial dynamics. Various miRNAs are downregulated in diabetic kidney disease, including the miR-30 family and miR-146a, which protect against inflammation and fibrosis. Other miRNAs such as miR-193 and miR-92a induce podocyte dedifferentiation in glomerulonephritis. In transplantation, miRNAs have been implicated in allograft rejection and injury. Further work is needed to identify and validate miRNAs as biomarkers of graft function and of kidney disease development and progression. Use of combinations of miRNAs together with other molecular markers could potentially improve diagnostic or predictive power and facilitate clinical translation. In addition, targeting specific miRNAs at different stages of disease could be a promising therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a leading cause of death worldwide. It arises from blood reflowing after tissue hypoxia induced by ischemia that causes severe damages due to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and the activation of inflammatory responses. Exosomes are the smallest members of the extracellular vesicles' family, which originate from nearly all eukaryotic cells. Exosomes have a great potential in the treatment of I/R injury either in native or modified forms. Native exosomes are secreted by different cell types, such as stem cells, and contain components such as specific miRNA molecules with tissue protective properties. On the other hand, exosome bioengineering has recently received increased attention in context of current advances in the purification, manipulation, biological characterization, and pharmacological applications. There are various pre-isolation and post-isolation manipulation approaches that can be utilized to increase the circulation half-life of exosomes or the availability of their bioactive cargos in the target site. In this review, the various therapeutic actions of native exosomes in different I/R injury will be discussed first. Exosome bioengineering approaches will then be explained, including pre- and post-isolation manipulation methods, applicability for delivery of bioactive agents to injured tissue, clinical translation issues, and future perspectives.

Abstract
Inflammation is an indispensable biological process stimulated by infection and injuries. Inflammatory mechanisms related to extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are small membrane structures carrying various molecules, were summarized in this review. Emerging evidence from animal studies has highlighted the role of EVs in modulating inflammatory responses, by transporting various molecules involved in host defense. In this review, we have discussed the role of EV miRNAs in inflammation. Rodent studies associated with extracellular miRNAs in inflammatory diseases, published from 2012 to 2022, were explored from PUBMED, EMBASE, and MEDLINE. A total of 95 studies were reviewed. In summary, EV-associated miRNAs play a key role in various diseases, including organ injury, immune dysfunction, neurological disease, metabolic syndrome, vesicular disease, arthritis, cancer, and other inflammatory diseases. Diverse EV-associated miRNAs regulate inflammasome activation and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels by targeting genes.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is defined as a complex and dynamic tissue entity composed of endothelial, stromal, immune cells, and the blood system. The homeostasis and evolution of the TME are governed by intimate interactions among cellular compartments. The malignant behavior of cancer cells, such as infiltrating growth, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, is predominantly dependent on the bidirectional communication between tumor cells and the TME. And such dialogue mainly involves the transfer of multifunctional regulatory molecules from tumor cells and/or stromal cells within the TME. Interestingly, increasing evidence has confirmed that exosomes carrying regulatory molecules, proteins, and nucleic acids act as an active link in cellular crosstalk in the TME. Notably, extensive studies have identified non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), that could be encapsulated by exosomes, which regulate the coordinated function within the TME and thus participate in cancer development and progression. In this review, we summarize recent literature around the topic of the functions and mechanisms of exosomal ncRNAs in the TME and highlight their clinical significance.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a serious sepsis complication and the prevailing cause of death. Circulating plasma exosomes might exert a key role in regulating intercellular communication between immunological and structural cells, as well as contributing to sepsis-related organ damage. However, the molecular mechanisms by which exosome-mediated intercellular signaling exacerbate ALI in septic infection remains undefined. Therefore, we investigated the effect of macrophage-derived exosomal APN/CD13 on the induction of epithelial cell necrosis. Exosomal APN/CD13 levels in the plasma of septic mice and patients with septic ALI were found to be higher. Furthermore, increased plasma exosomal APN/CD13 levels were associated with the severity of ALI and fatality in sepsis patients. We found remarkably high expression of APN/CD13 in exosomes secreted by LPS-stimulated macrophages. Moreover, c-Myc directly induced APN/CD13 expression and was packed into exosomes. Finally, exosomal APN/CD13 from macrophages regulated necroptosis of lung epithelial cells by binding to the cell surface receptor TLR4 to induce ROS generation, mitochondrial dysfunction and NF-κB activation. These results demonstrate that macrophage-secreted exosomal APN/CD13 can trigger epithelial cell necroptosis in an APN/CD13-dependent manner, which provides insight into the mechanism of epithelial cell functional disorder in sepsis-induced ALI. Necroptosis of lung epithelial cells is regulated by aminopeptidase N levels in circulating plasma exosomes in patients and mice with sepsis-induced acute lung injury.

Abstract
Objectives Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a loose set of kidney diseases accompanied by a variety of syndromes, which is a serious threat to human life and health. Some alkaloids are derived from various Chinese herbs have been widely concerned in the improvement of AKI. This review provides the research progress of alkaloids in AKI experimental models and discusses the related molecular mechanisms. Key Findings. Alkaloids can protect AKI through various mechanisms including antioxidant stress, improvement of mitochondrial damage, reduction of cell death, induction of autophagy, and inhibition of inflammation. These mechanisms are mainly related to the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, inhibition of ferroptosis and apoptosis, regulation of PINK1/Parkin pathway, inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB pathway and NLRP3 inflammatory bodies, upregulation of Klotho protein level and so on. In addition, there are a few alkaloids that have certain toxicity on the kidney. Conclusion Alkaloids have been shown to significantly improve AKI, but only in pharmacological studies. This paper summarizes the main experimental models currently used in AKI research and describes some representative alkaloids based on recent research. Their potential roles in the prevention and treatment of AKI through different mechanisms are highlighted.

Abstract
Regeneration requires cellular proliferation, differentiation, and other processes that are regulated by secreted cues originating from cells in the local environment. Recent studies suggest that signaling by extracellular vesicles (EVs), another mode of paracrine communication, may also play a significant role in coordinating cellular behaviors during regeneration. EVs are nanoparticles composed of a lipid bilayer enclosing proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and other metabolites, and are secreted by most cell types. Upon EV uptake by target cells, EV cargo can influence diverse cellular behaviors during regeneration, including cell survival, immune responses, extracellular matrix remodeling, proliferation, migration, and differentiation. In this review, we briefly introduce the history of EV research and EV biogenesis. Then, we review current understanding of how EVs regulate cellular behaviors during regeneration derived from numerous studies of stem cell-derived EVs in mammalian injury models. Finally, we discuss the potential of other established and emerging research organisms to expand our mechanistic knowledge of basic EV biology, how injury modulates EV biogenesis, cellular sources of EVs in vivo, and the roles of EVs in organisms with greater regenerative capacity.

Abstract
An element, iron, a process, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and a molecule, ascorbate, were chosen in our study to show their dual functions and their role in cell fate decision. Iron is a critical component of numerous proteins involved in metabolism and detoxification. On the other hand, excessive amounts of free iron in the presence of oxygen can promote the production of potentially toxic ROS. They can result in persistent oxidative stress, which in turn can lead to damage and cell death. At the same time, ROS—at strictly regulated levels—are essential to maintaining the redox homeostasis, and they are engaged in many cellular signaling pathways, so their total elimination is not expedient. Ascorbate establishes a special link between ROS generation/elimination and cell death. At low concentrations, it behaves as an excellent antioxidant and has an important role in ROS elimination. However, at high concentrations, in the presence of transition metals such as iron, it drives the generation of ROS. In the term of the dual function of these molecules and oxidative stress, ascorbate/ROS-driven cell deaths are not necessarily harmful processes—they can be live-savers too.
