Objective: Exosomes have been suggested to serve as possible drug delivery vehicles due to their nanometer-size range and capability of transferring biological materials to recipient cells. Thus, whether miR-183-5p-overexpressing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (BMSC-Exos) could protect against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury by targeting FOXO1 was investigated.

Methods: Exosomes were isolated from rat BMSCs, and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) rat models were established. I/R rats were treated with Exo/NC-Exo/miR-183-5p-Exo/anti-miR-183-5p-Exo. Cardiac function, serum biochemical indices, apoptosis, myocardial infarction size, and the expression of miR-183-5p, FOXO1 and cleaved caspase 3 were assessed. Primary cardiomyocytes were isolated to establish hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) models to observe the function of miR-183-5p-Exo in vitro.

Results: Rats in the I/R group exhibited a decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS) and left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) but an increased left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), myocardial infarct size and apoptosis index (AI). In addition, in I/R rats, miR-183-5p expression was decreased, but FOXO1 and cleaved caspase 3 expression was increased. Both Exo and miR-183-5p-Exo improved the above indices in I/R rats, but miR-183-5p-Exo showed better effects. However, anti-miR-183-5p-Exo reversed the protective effect of Exo. FOXO1 was a target gene of miR-183-5p. Experiments in vitro revealed that Exo and miR-183-5p-Exo suppressed apoptosis and oxidative stress injury in H/R-induced cardiomyocytes, whereas overexpressed FOXO1 reversed the protective role of miR-183-5p-Exo.

Conclusion: BMSC-derived exosomal miR-183-5p could target FOXO1 to reduce apoptosis and oxidative stress in I/R cardiomyocytes and improve cardiac function, thereby protecting against MI/R injury.

: Resistance exercises (REs) are a type of physical activity that individuals from many age groups have been doing recreationally, both as amateurs and professionally, in their daily lives in recent years. It is crucial to understand the effects of such sports on cardiac morphology in order to maximize the benefit of training and to tailor the training content accordingly. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between training experience (TE) and left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic parameters and left atrial (LA) mechanical function in healthy subjects who regularly performed RE for different durations.

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-7 (ADAMTS-7) belongs to the family of metalloproteinases that contributes to tissue homeostasis during morphogenesis and reproduction. These metalloproteinases regulate various cell functions such as cell proliferation, are important regulators in tissue regeneration, and play a role in vascular remodelling, which is involved in atherosclerosis development. Despite the well-established association between ADAMTS-7 and atherosclerotic disease, data regarding the metalloproteinase's association with LV function remain scarce.
