间充质干细胞来源外泌体促心肌梗死血管新生及其机制研究进展

血管新生(angiogenesis)是机体内一个复杂的生理学和病理学过程,是治疗缺血性疾病的重要措施。大量实验研究已表明间充质干细胞(mesenchymal stem cells, MSCs)等干细胞移植可促进心肌梗死后血管新生,近期研究证实这一作用可能主要通过分泌外泌体形式介导。外泌体(exosome)通过传递与血管新生相关微RNA(microRNA, mi RNA)或蛋白质等生物活性物质,调控靶器官中与血管新生相关通路的基因表达,提高内皮细胞在缺血缺氧环境下的存活、迁移、成管能力,促进心肌梗死区域血管新生。通过基因修饰手段增强外泌体介导的心脏修复作用,以及将外泌体与生物活性肽结合形成工程外泌体来靶向缺血心肌治疗,是目前外泌体在心血管领域的热点研究方向。本文结合近年外泌体研究的相关文献,就MSCs来源外泌体促进心肌梗死血管新生的具体机制及现状研究作一综述。     

间充质干细胞来源的外泌体治疗心肌梗死的研究进展

外泌体是一种小的单层膜结构的细胞外小囊泡,可在细胞间传递蛋白质、脂质、mRNA和miRNA等物质。间充质干细胞来源的外泌体可以作为无细胞系统减少心肌梗死后梗死面积、促进心肌再生并改善心功能,其作用机制可能与激活抗炎和促存活通路、调控细胞自噬和促进血管新生等有关。通过表面修饰或改造来源细胞以提高外泌体的靶向性或改变其内含物质值得深入研究。

Exosomes from microRNA-126 overexpressing mesenchymal stem cells promote angiogenesis by targeting the PIK3R2-mediated PI3K/Akt signalling pathway

microRNA-126 (miR-126), an endothelial-specific miRNA, is associated with vascular homeostasis and angiogenesis. However, the efficiency of miR-126-based treatment is partially compromised due to the low efficiency of miRNA delivery in vivo. Lately, exosomes have emerged as a natural tool for therapeutic molecule delivery. Herein, we investigated whether exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) can be utilized to deliver miR-126 to promote angiogenesis. Exosomes were isolated from BMMSCs overexpressed with miR-126 (Exo-miR-126) by ultracentrifugation. In vitro study, Exo-miR-126 treatment promoted the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Furthermore, the gene/protein expression of angiogenesis-related vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiotensin-1 (Ang-1) were up-regulated after incubation with Exo-miR-126. Additionally, the expression level of phosphoinositol-3 kinase regulatory subunit 2 (PIK3R2) showed an inverse correlation with miR-126 in HUVECs. Particularly, the Exo-miR-126 treatment contributed to enhanced angiogenesis of HUVECs by targeting PIK3R2 to activate the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway. Similarly, Exo-miR-126 administration profoundly increased the number of newly formed capillaries in wound sites and accelerated the wound healing in vivo. The results demonstrate that exosomes derived from BMMSCs combined with miR-126 may be a promising strategy to promote angiogenesis.     

Mesenchymal stem cells from different sources and their derived exosomes: A pre-clinical perspective

Since the introduction of cell therapy as a strategy for the treatment of many diseases, mesenchymal stem cells have emerged as ideal candidates, yet the underlying mechanisms of their beneficial effects are only partially understood.At the start of the 21 st century, a paracrine effect was proposed as a mechanism of tissue repair by these cells. In addition, a role was suggested for a heterogeneous population of extracellular vesicles in cell-to-cell communication.Some of these vesicles including exosomes have been isolated from most fluids and cells, as well as from supernatants of in vitro cell cultures. Recent research in the field of regenerative medicine suggests that exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells could be a powerful new therapeutic tool. This review examines the therapeutic potential of these exosomes obtained from the sources most used in cell therapy: bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord.

内皮抑素对眼部新生血管抑制的研究进展

眼部新生血管存在于多种常见的眼病的发展过程中,对视功能危害大,是致盲的主要原因之一。包括糖尿病视网膜病变,视网膜栓塞,早产儿视网膜病变,老年性黄斑变性等眼病。由于其发病机制尚未完全清楚,因此目前仍无确切有效的药物治疗方法。内皮抑素（Endostatin,ES）是1997年首先从小鼠血管内皮瘤EOMA细胞培养上清中发现的,是胶原xⅧ的蛋白降解产物,分子质量约为20KD,为胶原xⅧc端非胶原区（NCl）内的184个氨基酸片段。ES是目前发现的最强的血管生成抑制因子,可抑制VEGF,bFGF,EGF等刺激的血管内皮细胞的增殖和迁移,诱导其凋亡,进而抑制新生血管的形成。通过抑制眼部新生血管的实验研究表明,ES是当前抗新生血管疗法中最有潜力的一种新药。本文就内皮抑素的结构特点及其对眼部新生血管的治疗研究进展作一综述。

VEGF165 induces differentiation of hair follicle stem cells into endothelial cells and plays a role in in vivo angiogenesis

Within the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family of five subtypes, VEGF165 secreted by endothelial cells has been identified to be the most active and widely distributed factor that plays a vital role in courses of angiogenesis, vascularization and mesenchymal cell differentiation. Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) can be harvested from the bulge region of the outer root sheath of the hair follicle and are adult stem cells that have multi‐directional differentiation potential. Although the research on differentiation of stem cells (such as fat stem cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells) to the endothelial cells has been extensive, but the various mechanisms and functional forms are unclear. In particular, study on HFSCs’ directional differentiation into vascular endothelial cells using VEGF165 has not been reported. In this study, VEGF165 was used as induction factor to induce the differentiation from HFSCs into vascular endothelial cells, and the results showed that Notch signalling pathway might affect the differentiation efficiency of vascular endothelial cells. In addition, the in vivo transplantation experiment provided that HFSCs could promote angiogenesis, and the main function is to accelerate host‐derived neovascularization. Therefore, HFSCs could be considered as an ideal cell source for vascular tissue engineering and cell transplantation in the treatment of ischaemic diseases.     

Expression of exosomal microRNAs during chondrogenic differentiation of human bone mesenchymal stem cells

The aim of the current study was to compare the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in exosomes derived from human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) with and without chondrogenic induction. Exosomes derived from hBMSCs were isolated and identified. Microarray analysis was performed to compare miRNA expression between exosomes derived from hBMSCs with and without chondrogenic induction, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to verify the differentially expressed miRNAs. hBMSCs were transfected with miRNA mimic to extract miRNA-overexpressed exosomes. The results showed that most exosomes exhibited a cup-shaped or round-shaped morphology with a diameter of approximately 50-200 nm and expressed CD9 and CD63. We detected 141 miRNAs that were differentially expressed with and without chondrogenic induction by over a twofold change, including 35 upregulated miRNAs, such as miR-1246, miR-1290, miR-193a-5p, miR-320c, and miR-92a, and 106 downregulated miRNAs, such as miR-377-3p and miR-6891-5p. qRT-PCR analysis validated these results. Exosomes derived from hBMSCs overexpressing miR-320c were more efficient than normal exosomes derived from control hBMSCs at promoting osteoarthritis chondrocyte proliferation, down-regulated matrix metallopeptidase 13 and up-regulated (sex determining region Y)-box 9 expression during hBMSC chondrogenic differentiation. In conclusion, we identified a group of upregulated miRNAs in exosomes derived from hBMSCs with chondrogenic induction that may play an important role in mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes in cartilage regeneration and, ultimately, the treatment of arthritis. We demonstrated the potential of these modified exosomes in the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
