Abstract Our group recently reported positive therapeutic benefit of human endometrium-derived mesenchymal stem cells (EnMSCs) delivered to infarcted rat myocardium, an effect that correlated with enhanced secretion protective cytokines and growth factors compared parallel cultures bone marrow MSCs (BMMSCs). To define more precisely the molecular mechanisms EnMSC therapy, in present study, we assessed paracrine properties derived from endometrium, marrow, adipose tissues a model myocardial...

Rationale : Autophagy can preserve cell viability under conditions of mild ischemic stress by degrading damaged organelles for ATP production, but severe ischemia, it promote death and worsen cardiac performance. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are cardioprotective when tested in animal models myocardial infarction, whether these benefits occur through the regulation autophagy is unknown. Objective: To determine transplanted MSCs reduce rate autophagic degradation (autophagic flux) infarcted...

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have been widely used for treating myocardial infarction (MI). However, low retention and short-lived therapeutic effects are still significant challenges. This study aimed to determine whether incorporation of MSC-derived sEVs in alginate hydrogel increases their the heart thereby improving effects. Methods: The optimal sodium incorporating system was determined by its release ability rheology hydrogel. Ex...

Objective— Cigarette smoking is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. Nicotine, the addictive component of cigarettes, induces mast cell (MC) release and contributes to atherogenesis. The purpose this study was determine whether nicotine accelerates atherosclerosis through MC-mediated mechanisms MC stabilizer prevents pathological process. Approach Results— Nicotine administration increased size atherosclerotic lesions in apolipoprotein E–deficient ( Apoe −/− ) mice fed a...

Green tea catechins are known to function as anticancer agents via inhibition of carcinogenesis during the initiation, promotion and progression stages. Many potential mechanisms have been proposed, yet precise mechanism lung cancer prevention by green remains unclear. microRNAs (miRs) a class 21-24 nucleotide small non-coding RNAs play critical roles throughout cellular development regulation. Emerging evidence demonstrates that influence expression miRs in human cells inhibit...

Thromboembolism is the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. Currently, for lack targeting, short half-life, low bioavailability and high bleeding risk classical thrombolytic drugs, pharmacological thrombolysis usually a slow process based on micro-pumping. In addition, frequently monitoring regulating coagulation functions are also required during (and after) thrombolysis. To address these issues, targeted anticoagulation nanoplatform (UCATS-UK) developed upconversion nanoparticles...
