Purpose: The formation of macrophage-derived foam cells via the uptake of modified lipoproteins is a pivotal development event in atherosclerosis. It has been reported that clinical and experimental myocardial infarction could accelerate atherosclerosis. Several studies have suggested the critical role of exosomes in cardiovascular diseases. However, the role of exosomes from patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients in atherogenesis remains unclear.
Patients And Methods: Serum exosomes from AMI patients (AMI-Exo) and control individuals (Con-Exo) were isolated and characterized. These exosomes were studied in vitro and in vivo to determine their impact on macrophage foaming and atherogenesis.
Results: Our results showed that AMI-Exo promoted foam cell formation in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-treated macrophages and progression of atherosclerosis in high-fat/cholesterol diet-fed ApoE mice together with a significantly upregulated levels of lectin-like ox-LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1). The miR-186-5p was found to be downregulated in AMI-Exo and macrophages administered with AMI-Exo. Moreover, serum exosomal miR-186-5p achieved high diagnostic performance for AMI. Luciferase reporter assay indicated that miR-186-5p directly inhibited LOX-1. The endogenous or exogenous miR-186-5p deficiency enhanced lipid accumulation by upregulating LOX-1, whereas miR-186-5p mimics had a reverse effect.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the current findings suggest that dysregulated miR-186-5p in AMI-Exo may explain the contribution of acute ischemia events to the advancement of atherosclerosis by enhancing macrophage foaming via its target, LOX-1.

Aim: Sepsis is a potentially fatal condition characterized by organ failure resulting from an abnormal host response to infection, often leading to liver and kidney damage. Timely recognition and intervention of these dysfunctions have the potential to significantly reduce sepsis mortality rates. Recent studies have emphasized the critical role of serum exosomes and their miRNA content in mediating sepsis-induced organ dysfunction.

: Sjögren's syndrome (SS), an autoimmune disease, was characterized by sicca syndrome and systemic manifestations, presenting significant treatment challenges. Exosomes, naturally derived nanoparticles containing bioactive molecules, have garnered interest in regenerative medicine. The present study aimed to elucidate the immunoregulatory properties and mechanism of exosomes obtained from the stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED-exos) in SS-induced sialadenitis.

Background: Cancer treatments are still limited by various challenges, such as off-target drug delivery, posttreatment inflammation, and the hypoxic conditions in the tumor microenvironment; thus, the development of effective therapeutics remains highly desirable. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles with a size of 30-200 nm that have been widely applied as drug carriers over the last decade. In this study, melanoma-derived exosomes were used to develop a perfluorocarbon (PFC) drug nanocarriers loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) and camptothecin (CPT) (ICFESs) for targeted cancer photochemotherapy.

Exosomes have emerged as a powerful biomarker for early cancer diagnosis, however, accurately detecting cancer-derived exosomes in biofluids remains a crucial challenge. In this study, we present a novel label-free electrochemical biosensor utilizing titanium dioxide nanotube array films (TiONTAs) for the sensitive detection of exosomes in complex biological samples. This innovative biosensor takes advantage of the excellent electrochemical properties of TiONTAs and their specific interactions with the phosphate groups of exosomes.

Background: Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SIONFH) is a universal hip articular disease and is very hard to perceive at an early stage. The understanding of the pathogenesis of SIONFH is still limited, and the identification of efficient diagnostic biomarkers is insufficient. This research aims to recognize and validate the latent exosome-related molecular signature in SIONFH diagnosis by employing bioinformatics to investigate exosome-related mechanisms in SIONFH.
