Abstract

Myocardial infarction (MI), one type of ischemic heart disease, is a major cause of disability and mortality worldwide. Currently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) have been proven to be a potentially promising therapeutic treatment for MI. However, the inconvenience of isolation, the low productivity, and the high cost of EVs greatly limits their application in clinic. In this study, we constructed novel biomimetic ADSC-derived nanovesicles (ADSC NVs) to achieve cell-free therapy for MI. Here, we firstly developed a novel Mel@NVs delivery system consisting of engineered ADSC NVs with melatonin (Mel). Then, the characterization and properties of Mel@NVs were performed. The effect of Mel@NVs on cellular oxidative stress and myocardial infarction repair was conducted. The results showed that Mel@NVs treatment under ischemia mimic condition reduced cell apoptosis from 42.59 ± 2.69% to 13.88 ± 1.77%. Moreover, this novel engineered Mel@NVs could ameliorate excessive ROS generation, promote microvessel formation, and attenuate cardiac fibrosis, which further alleviates mitochondrial dysfunction and finally enhance myocardial repair. Hence, the engineered NVs show a potential strategy for MI therapy.

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.
