AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of using ultrasound (US) and microbubbles to deliver CD151 in treating myocardial infarction (MI) in rabbits.
- The experimental design included five groups of MI rabbits treated with different combinations of CD151 and ultrasound conditions to evaluate changes in CD151 expression and heart function after treatment.
- Results showed that CD151 delivery improved heart function and increased vessel density in the heart, suggesting that US microbubbles can enhance the therapeutic effects of CD151 for myocardial infarction.
Article Abstract
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate whether ultrasound (US) and microbubble-mediated delivery of Cluster of Differentiation 151 (CD151) could enhance the therapeutic effects of CD151 on myocardial infarction (MI).
Methods: A rabbit model of MI was established by a modified Fujita method. Then, 50 MI rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups, including G1 (CD151 plasmid and physiological saline in the presence of US); G2 (CD151 and Sonovue in the presence of US); G3 (CD151 and Sonovue in the absence of US); G4 (Sonovue in the absence of US), and a control group (physiological saline in the absence of US). After 14 days of treatment, the expression of CD151 was detected by Western blot. Besides, vessel density of peri-infarcted myocardium was measured by immunohistochemistry, and cardiac function was analyzed by echocardiography.
Results: The rabbit model of MI was established successfully. CD151 injection increased the expression of CD151 and microvessel density in the myocardium of MI rabbits. Heart function was significantly improved by CD151, which exhibited increased left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular fractional shortening and a reduced Tei index. Besides, US Sonovue significantly increased the expression efficiency of CD151.
Conclusion: US microbubble was an effective vector for CD151 delivery. CD151 might be an effective therapeutic target for MI.

To clarify the protective effects of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) against photodamage, we utilized nude mouse skin with or without SAT. Skin and fibroblasts were treated with adipose tissue-derived extracellular vesicles (AT-EVs) or extracellular vesicles derived from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC-EVs) to demonstrate that SAT protects the overlying skin from photodamage primarily through AT-EVs. Surprisingly, AT-EVs stimulated fibroblast proliferation more rapidly than ADSC-EVs did.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of global mortality, with current screening and diagnostic methods often lacking in sensitivity and specificity. In our endeavor to develop precise, objective, and easily accessible diagnostic biomarkers for NSCLC, this study aimed to leverage rapidly evolving liquid biopsy techniques in the field of pathology to differentiate NSCLC patients from healthy controls by isolating peripheral blood samples and enriching extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing lung-derived proteins (thyroid transcription factor-1 [TTF-1] and surfactant protein B [SFTPB]), along with the cancer-associated protein CD151 EVs. Additionally, for practical applications, we established a nano-flow cytometry assay to detect plasma EVs readily.

Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) often leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome and multi-organ dysfunction, driven by a dysregulated immune response, including a cytokine storm with elevated proinflammatory cytokine levels. Natural killer (NK) cells are part of the innate immune system with a fundamental role in the defense against viral infections. However, during COVID-19 acute infection, they exhibit an altered phenotype and impaired functionality contributing to the immunopathogenesis of the disease.

Heterogeneous extracellular vesicles (EVs) from various types of tumours are acknowledged for inducing the formation of pre-metastatic "niches" in draining lymph nodes (LNs) to promote lymphatic metastasis. In order to identify the specific subpopulations of EVs involved, we performed high-resolution proteomic analysis combined with nanoflow cytometry of bladder cancer (BCa) tissue-derived EVs to identify a novel subset of tumour-derived EVs that contain integrin α6 (ITGA6EVs) and revealed the positive correlation of ITGA6EVs with the formation of pre-metastatic niche in draining LNs and lymphatic metastasis in multicentre clinical analysis of 820-case BCa patients. BCa-derived ITGA6EVs induced E-selectin (SELE)-marked lymphatic remodelling pre-metastatic niche and promoted metastasis in draining LNs through delivering cargo circRNA-LIPAR to lymphatic endothelial cells in vivo and in vitro.
