Rationale: Long-term exercise provides reliable cardioprotection via mechanisms still incompletely understood. Although traditionally considered a thermogenic tissue, brown adipose tissue (BAT) communicates with remote organs (eg, the heart) through its endocrine function. BAT expands in response to exercise, but involvement remains undefined. Objective: This study investigated whether small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) secreted by and their contained microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate...

Background: Cell therapy remains the most promising approach against ischemic heart injury. However, poor survival of engrafted stem cells in environment limits their therapeutic efficacy for cardiac repair after myocardial infarction. CTRP9 (C1q/tumor necrosis factor–related protein-9) is a novel prosurvival cardiokine with significantly downregulated expression Here we tested hypothesis that might be required healthy microenvironment promoting implanted cell and cardioprotection. Methods:...

Abstract Few intravenously administered mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) engraft to the injured myocardium, thereby limiting their therapeutic efficacy for treatment of ischemic heart injury. Here, it is found that irisin pretreatment increases cardiac homing adipose tissue‐derived MSCs (ADSCs) by single and multiple intravenous injections mice with MI/R more than fivefold, which subsequently antiapoptotic, proangiogenic, antifibrotic effects in rats underwent MI/R. RNA sequencing, Kyoto...

BACKGROUND: Myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction underpins the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF), yet therapeutic options to restore myocardial function are scarce. Epigenetic modifications DNA (mtDNA), such as methylation, play a pivotal role in modulating homeostasis. However, their involvement HF remains unclear. METHODS: Experimental models were established through continuous angiotensin II and phenylephrine (AngII/PE) infusion or prolonged ischemia/reperfusion injury. The landscape N 6...

Background Poor engraftment of intramyocardial stem cells limits their therapeutic efficiency against myocardial infarction ( MI )‐induced cardiac injury. Transglutaminase cross‐linked Gelatin (Col‐Tgel) is a tailorable collagen‐based hydrogel that becoming an excellent biomaterial scaffold for cellular delivery in vivo. Here, we tested the hypothesis Col‐Tgel increases retention intramyocardially‐injected cells, and thereby reduces post‐ Methods Results Adipose‐derived mesenchymal ADSC s)...

Abstract Bile acid metabolites have been increasingly recognized as pleiotropic signaling molecules that regulate cardiovascular functions, but their role in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC)‐based therapy has never investigated. It is found overexpression of farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a main for bile acids, improves the retention and cardioprotection adipose tissue‐derived MSC (ADSC) administered by intramyocardial injection mice with myocardial infarction (MI), which shows enhanced...

BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has become the most prevalent type of heart failure, but effective treatments are lacking. Cardiac lymphatics play a crucial role in maintaining health by draining fluids and immune cells. However, their involvement HFpEF remains largely unexplored. METHODS: We examined cardiac lymphatic alterations mice comorbid obesity hypertension, tissues from patients HFpEF. Using genetically engineered mouse models various cellular...

Hyperglycemia aggravates brain damage caused by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and increases the permeability of blood‑brain barrier (BBB). However, there are relatively few studies on morphological changes BBB. The present study aimed to investigate effect hyperglycemia BBB following I/R injury. Streptozotocin‑induced hyperglycemic citrate‑buffered saline‑injected normoglycemic rats were subjected 30 min middle artery occlusion. Neurological deficits evaluated. Brain infarct volume was...
