Abstract:
... This study was conducted to explore whether acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)-derived exosomes affect natural killer (NK) cells. Exosomes were isolated and identified from Jurkat cells and co-cultured with NK cells. Then, the cytotoxicity, viability, and release of perforin and granzyme B in NK92-MI cells were measured. PCR arrays were used to detect gene expression alterations in the transformin ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) can proliferate and differentiate into oligodendrocytes, the only myelin-forming cells in the central nervous system. Proliferating OPCs promotes remyelination in neurodegenerative diseases. Astrocytes (ASTs) are the most widespread cells in the brain and play a beneficial role in the proliferation of OPCs. Connexin 47 (Cx47) is the main component ...
... Healthy and functional alveolar bones to support implants or dentures are fundamental for dental restoration. Osteoporosis, which leads to alveolar bone resorption, is a common disease, especially in elderly patients with tooth loss. Enhanced osteoclastogenesis is the main pathogenesis of bone resorption, which is related to the paracrine regulation of BMMSCs (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells). ...
... Exosomes are involved in intercellular communication via specialized molecular cargo, such as microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the mechanisms underlying exosomal miR-19b-1-5p in bladder cancer remain largely unknown, thus, we aim to investigate the effect of exosomal miR-19b-1-5p on bladder cancer with the involvement of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase Arg (ABL2). miR-19b-1-5p and ABL2 expression ...

Abstract:
... Recent evidence has revealed a novel signaling mechanism through which brown adipose tissue (BAT)-derived exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) influence hepatic gene expression. Here, we uncover neuronal control of these miRNAs and identify exosomal miR-132-3p as a regulator of hepatic lipogenesis under cold stress conditions. Norepinephrine, a sympathetic nervous system neurotransmitter mediating cold-ind ...
... Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the most important stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment (TEM) and have been reported to regulate various cancer development. Exosomes are considered important elements involved in intercellular communication and TME regulation, while the potential function of CAFs in lung cancer immunosuppressive microenvironments remains unknown. CAFs-derived exosom ...
... The multitude of clinical trials using mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) has underscored their significance as a promising cell source for regenerative therapies. Most studies have however shown that MSCs get entrapped into the microvasculature of lungs, liver and spleen. In addition to intercellular communication, MSCs exert their effects in a paracrine manner by secretion of extracellular vesicle ...
... Zika virus (ZIKV) infection causes a public health concern because of its potential association with the development of microcephaly. During viral infections, the host innate immune response is mounted quickly to produce some endogenous functional molecules to limit virus replication and spread. Exosomes contain molecules from their cell of origin following virus infection and can enter recipient ...
... Spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) is an important risk factor for the occurrence of gastric cancer. It may be driven by a chronic inflammatory environment in which macrophage is involved. Studies have shown that intestinal metaplasia may originate from SPEM, and bile acid-induced chronic inflammation plays an important role in the process of intestinal metaplasia. However, wheth ...
... The tumour microenvironment comprises a diverse range of cells, including fibroblasts, immune cells and endothelial cells, along with extracellular matrix. In particular, fibroblasts are of significant interest as these cells are reprogrammed during tumorigenesis to become cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which in turn support cancer cell growth. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to be invol ...

Abstract:
... Modified Jianpi Yangzheng decoction (mJPYZ), as an empirical decoction of Traditional Chinese medicine has been shown significantly to prolong the survival of patients with advanced stage gastric cancer. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), has attracted attention for its important role on cellular aerobic glycolysis, however, few studies focus on PKM2 non-metabolic roles in tumor progression. Our study aim ...

... Exosomes have multiple therapeutic targets, but the effects on healing rotator cuff tear (RCT) remain unclear. As a circulating exosome, purified exosome product (PEP) has the potential to lead to biomechanical improvement in RCT. Here, we have established a simple and efficient approach that identifies the function and underlying mechanisms of PEP on cell-cell interaction using a co-culture model ...
... Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely applied in various clinical disorders, including acute lung injury (ALI). We aimed to investigate the effects of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCB-MSCs)-derived exosomal microRNA-22-3p (miR-22-3p) on lipopolysaccharid (LPS)-induced ALI via regulating frizzled class receptor 6 (FZD6). Rat lung cells were selected to construct the ...
... The pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is related to the inhibition of osteoblast differentiation. Exosomes secreted from RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLSs-exos) are associated with the pathogenesis of RA and microRNAs (miRNAs) being crucial for RA progression. Accordingly, the aim of the present study is to elucidate the effect of RA-FLS-derived exosomes on osteoblast differentiatio ...
... Cancer-derived exosomes carrying tumor-derived molecules such as miRNAs and proteins related to various phenotypes have been detected in both the bloodstream and other biofluids of patients with different cancers. Thus, our main purpose here was to determine the role of the exosomal microRNA-454 (miR-454) derived by MDA-MB-231 in self-renewal of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in ovarian cancer (OC). Ext ...
... Recent studies have shown that exosomes (Exos) derived from stem cells can be used as paracrine factors to regenerate cells and tissues via shuttling miRNAs. Exos derived from human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) have been found to alleviate mifepristone-induced endometrial stromal cell (ESC) injury in vitro. Information on the functions and mechanisms of Exos from UCMSC-in ...
... BACKGROUND: Excessive release of glutamate, oxidative stress, inflammation after ischemic brain injury can lead to demyelination. Astrocytes participate in the maturation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), and play multiple roles in the process of demyelination and remyelination. Here, we studied the role of Astrocyte-derived exosomes (AS-Exo) under ischemic conditions ...
... The neural stem cell (NSC) niche in subventricular zone (SVZ) of adult mammalian brain contains dense vascular plexus, where endothelial cells (ECs) regulate NSCs by releasing plenty of angiocrine factors. However, the role of ECs-derived exosomes, a novel type of mediators of intercellular communications, in the regulation of NSCs remains unclear. In the current study, primary NSCs isolated from ...
