Extracellular vesicles derived from HuMSCs alleviate daunorubicin-induced cardiac microvascular injury via miR-186-5p/PARP9/STAT1 signal pathway
Introduction It is essential to acknowledge that the cardiovascular toxicity associated with anthracycline drugs can be partially attributed to the damage inflicted on blood vessels and endothelial cells. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the potential to repair cellular processes and promote tissue regeneration through the transfer of signaling molecules such as miRNAs. In the present study, we investigated the effects of MSC-EVs on daunorubicin (DNR)-damaged human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMEC) and developing blood vessels of Chicken Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) in vivo. Materials and methods We constructed in vitro and in vivo models of DNR-damaged endothelial cells and developing blood vessel. Scratch wound assays, EdU assays, tube formation assays, and SA-β-Gal staining were used to evaluate the effects of MSC-EVs on cell migration, proliferation, angiogenesis capacity and cell senescence. Blood vessel area was used to assess the effects of MSC-EVs on CAM vasculature. RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory molecules. RNA sequencing was employed to compare differential gene expression and downstream regulatory mechanisms. RNA interference experiments and miRNA mimic overexpression experiments were used to validate the regulatory effects of target genes and downstream signaling pathways. Results We found that MSC-EVs improved the migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis of HCMEC, while also alleviating cellular senescence. The angiogenic effect on the developing blood vessels was confirmed in vivo. We identified that MSC-EVs downregulated the expression of PARP9, thereby inhibiting the STAT1/pSTAT1 signaling pathway. This downregulation effect is likely mediated by the transfer of miR-186-5p from MSC-EVs to HCMEC. Overexpression of miR-186-5p in DNR-damaged HCMEC also exhibited the aforementioned downregulation effect. In vivo, the introduction of miR-186-5p mimics enhanced angiogenesis in the CAM model. Conclusions To summarize, our study reveals that MSC-EVs can restore the cellular function of DNR-damaged HCMEC and alleviate cellular senescence through the miR-185-5p-PARP9-STAT1/pSTAT1 pathway. This finding highlights the potential of MSC-EVs as a therapeutic strategy for mitigating the detrimental effects of anthracycline-induced endothelial damage.
