Myocardial infraction (MI) is a severe disease with great mortality. Mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes display protection against MI. MicroRNA-129-5p was reported to exert anti-inflammation activity by targeting high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). In the present study, the effects of MSCs derived exosomes overexpressing miR-129-5p on MI were evaluated. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were transfected with miR-129-5p for exosomes isolation. Myocardial infraction mice model was established and administrated exosomes overexpressing miR-129-5p. The cardiac function, expression of HMGB1, inflammatory cytokines, apoptosis and fibrosis in heart tissues were measured. miR-129-5p inhibited HMGB1 expression in BMSCs. Myocardial infraction mice treated with exosomes overexpressing miR-129-5p had enhanced cardiac function and decreased expression of HMGB1 and production of inflammatory cytokines. Exosomes overexpressing miR-129-5p further prevented apoptosis and fibrosis. Exosome-mediated transfer of miR-129-5p suppressed inflammation in MI mice by targeting HMGB1.

Background: Advances in treatment have swiftly alleviated systemic inflammation of Takayasu's arteritis (TAK), while subclinical vascular inflammation and the ensuing arterial remodeling continue to present unresolved challenges in TAK. The phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is regarded as the first step in vascular pathology and contributes to arterial remodeling. Exosomes facilitate the transfer and exchange of proteins and specific nucleic acids, thereby playing a significant role in intercellular communication.

Despite advances in treatment, the prognosis of osteosarcoma (OS) patients is unsatisfactory, and searching for possible targets is substantial. Fibroblast growth factor inducible type 14 (FN14), a plasma membrane protein, is involved in wound healing, angiogenesis, proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammation. However, its implication in OS development and progression has not been completely characterized.

Exosomes, which are known to transport diverse proteins from parent cells to recipient cells, consequently influence the biological activities of the recipient cells. Among those proteins, the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), plays a crucial role as it is implicated in cell adhesion and signaling processes. As exosomal EpCAM potentially affects the migration of recipient cells, direct visualization with high spatial resolution is essential to better understand this impact and the role of exosomal EpCAM in recipient cells.

Parkinson' s disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Our research has demonstrated that the levels of interleukin (IL)-17A are elevated in the SN of rodent models of PD, and that IL-17A accelerates neurodegeneration in PD depending on microglial activation. Furthermore, existing studies indicate that exosomes released by activated microglia may play a significant role as mediators of neurodegeneration in PD.

Fibroblasts play a crucial role in diabetic wound healing, and their senescence is the cause of delayed wound repair. It was reported that fibroblasts can secrete exosomes that can mediate a vital role in diabetic complications. Our purpose is to examine the biological function of high glucose (HG)-induced senescent fibroblasts from the perspective of exosomes and reveal the mechanism at cellular and animal levels.
