Spinal cord injury is among the most fatal diseases. The complicated inhibitory microenvironment requires comprehensive mitigation. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are natural biocarriers of cell paracrine secretions that bear functions regulation. However, effective retention, release, and integration exosomes into injured spinal tissue poorly defined. Herein, an innovative implantation strategy established using human MSC-derived immobilized in a peptide-modified...

Vascular integrity helps maintain brain microenvironment homeostasis, which is critical for the normal development and function of central nervous system. It known that neural cells can regulate vascular integrity. However, due to high complexity neurovascular interactions involved, understanding regulation still rudimentary. Using intact zebrafish larvae cultured rodent cells, we find neurons transfer miR-132, a highly conserved neuron-enriched microRNA, via secreting exosomes endothelial...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) repair infarcted heart through paracrine mechanism. We sought to compare the effectiveness of MSCs and MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) in repairing hearts identify how MSC-Exo mediated cardiac is regulated. In a rat myocardial infarction model, we found that inhibited fibrosis, inflammation, improved function. The beneficial effects were significantly superior compared MSCs. To explore potential mechanisms underlying MSC-Exo’s effects, performed several vitro...

Adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) have been considered as an attractive therapeutic tool. Accumulating evidence indicates that the healing effects of ADSCs are mainly related to paracrine action rather than transdifferentiation. Data show expression miR-93-5p has a cardio-protective effect after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). To identify whether miR-93-5p-encapsulating exosomes form better effect, we investigated inflammatory factors and miR-30d-5p in clinical levels. A rat model AMI...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play a significant role in cancer initiation and metastasis, sometimes by releasing exosomes that mediate cell communication delivering microRNAs (miRNAs). This study aimed to investigate the effects of exosomal miR-133b derived from MSCs on glioma behaviors. Microarray-based analysis identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) glioma. The expression patterns EZH2 along with interaction between them were clarified was altered examine their functions...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most intractable malignancy, with an only 6% 5-year relative survival rate. The dismal therapeutic effect attributed to chemotherapy resistance and unique pathophysiology abundant inflammatory cytokines abnormal hyperplasia extracellular matrix (ECM). Based on theory that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) can influence tumorous microenvironment malignant growth PDAC, we employed exosomes (Exos) derived from BM-MSCs as...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are believed to exert their regenerative effects through differentiation and modulation of inflammatory responses. However, the relationship between severity inflammation cell-mediated tissue repair has not been formally investigated. In this study, we applied different concentrations dexamethasone (Dex) anti-CD3-activated splenocyte cultured with or without MSCs. As expected, Dex exhibited a classical dose-dependent inhibition T-cell proliferation....
