Abstract:

Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) have emerged as one of the most promising stem cell types for cardiac protection and repair. Exosomes are required for the regenerative effects of human CDCs and mimic the cardioprotective benefits of CDCs such as anti-apoptotic effect in animal myocardial infarction (MI) models. Here we aimed to investigate the anti-apoptotic effect of the hypoxic and normoxic human CDCs-derived exosomes on induced apoptosis in human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CMs). In this study, CDCs were cultured under normoxic (18% O2) and hypoxic (1% O2) conditions and CDC-exosomes were isolated from conditioned media by differential ultracentrifugation. Cobalt chloride as hypoxia-mimetic agents at a high concentration was used to induce apoptosis in hESC-CMs. The caspase-3/7 activity was determined in apoptosis-induced hESC-CMs. The results indicated that the caspase-positive hESC-CMs were significantly decreased from 30.63 ± 1.44% (normalized against untreated cardiomyocytes) to 1.65 ± 0.1 and 1.1 ± 1.09 in the presence of normoxic exosomes (N-exo) at concentration of 25 and 50 μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, hypoxic exosomes (H-exo) at concentration of 25 and 50 μg/mL led to 8.75 and 12.86 % reduction in caspase-positive cells, respectively. The anti-apoptotic activity of N-exo at the concentrations of 25 and 50 μg/mL was significantly higher than H-exo. These results could provide insights into optimal preparation of CDCs which would greatly influence the anti-apoptotic effect of CDC-exosomes. Totally, CDC-secreted exosomes have the potential to increase the survival of cardiomyocytes by inhibiting apoptosis. Therefore, CDC-exosomes can be developed as therapeutic strategy in ischemic cardiac disease.

Ubiquitinated Proteins in Exosomes Secreted by Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells

We provide evidence at the molecular level that ubiquitinated proteins are present in exosomes shed by myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC). Ubiquitin was selected as a post-translational modification of interest because it is known to play a determinant role in the endosomal trafficking that culminates in exosome release. Enrichment was achieved by two immunoprecipitations, first at the pro...

Effect of Aerobic Training, Vitamin D, and Injection of Adipose Tissue-Derived Stem Cells on Some Apoptotic and Anti-Apoptotic Indices of Beta-Pancreatic Cells in Diabetic Rats

Background and purpose: Apoptosis is a protective cellular process that plays an important role in the development and homeostasis of natural tissues as well as disease-causing factors. Current study aimed at determining the effect of aerobic training, Vitamin D, and injection of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on some apoptotic and anti-apoptotic indices of beta-pancreatic cells of s...

The anti-apoptotic effect of ghrelin in the renal tissue of chronic hypoxic rats

Introduction: Ghrelin is an endogenous peptide that has diverse functions in the body. One of the newly recognized roles of this peptide is its antiapoptotic effect. However, this function has not been investigated in normobaric hypoxia- induced apoptosis in body organs. This study will examine the effect of ghrelin treatment on Bax-Bcl-2 gene expression in the kidney of chronic hypoxic rats. ...

MicroRNA expression profiles of human left ventricle derived cardiac cells in normoxic and hypoxic conditions

Studies in the cardiovascular research field have demonstrated the vital roles of microRNAs for proper cardiovascular development and functional maintenance. The involvement of aberrant microRNA expression leading to ontogenesis of cardiovascular diseases lends further support of the regulatory role of microRNAs in heart function. Hypoxic insult is one of the major factors that trigger downstre...
