Abstract

Aims: Naturally secreted nanovesicles, known as exosomes, play important roles in stem cell-mediated cardioprotection. We have previously demonstrated that atorvastatin (ATV) pretreatment improved the cardioprotective effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of this study was to investigate if exosomes derived from ATV-pretreated MSCs exhibit more potent cardioprotective function in a rat model of AMI and if so to explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods and results: Exosomes were isolated from control MSCs (MSC-Exo) and ATV-pretreated MSCs (MSCATV-Exo) and were then delivered to endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes in vitro under hypoxia and serum deprivation (H/SD) condition or in vivo in an acutely infarcted Sprague-Dawley rat heart. Regulatory genes and pathways activated by ATV pretreatment were explored using genomics approaches and functional studies. In vitro, MSCATV-Exo accelerated migration, tube-like structure formation, and increased survival of endothelial cells but not cardiomyocytes, whereas the exosomes derived from MSCATV-Exo-treated endothelial cells prevented cardiomyocytes from H/SD-induced apoptosis. In a rat AMI model, MSCATV-Exo resulted in improved recovery in cardiac function, further reduction in infarct size and reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis compared to MSC-Exo. In addition, MSCATV-Exo promoted angiogenesis and inhibited the elevation of IL-6 and TNF-α in the peri-infarct region. Mechanistically, we identified lncRNA H19 as a mediator of the role of MSCATV-Exo in regulating expression of miR-675 and activation of proangiogenic factor VEGF and intercellular adhesion molecule-1. Consistently, the cardioprotective effects of MSCATV-Exo was abrogated when lncRNA H19 was depleted in the ATV-pretreated MSCs and was mimicked by overexpression of lncRNA H19. Conclusion: Exosomes obtained from ATV-pretreated MSCs have significantly enhanced therapeutic efficacy for treatment of AMI possibly through promoting endothelial cell function. LncRNA H19 mediates, at least partially, the cardioprotective roles of MSCATV-Exo in promoting angiogenesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
