Background: Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IIRI) is a severe clinical condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in understanding the pathophysiology of IIRI, effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies remain limited.
Methods: Using transcriptome sequencing in a mouse model of IIRI, we identified potential biomarkers that were significantly upregulated in the IIRI group compared to the sham group. Based on these findings, we developed and evaluated a therapeutic strategy using milk-derived exosomes loaded with siRNA targeting CCL7 (M-Exo/siCCL7).
Results: Focusing on Ccl7 as a hub gene, we explored the therapeutic efficacy of milk-derived exosomes loaded with siRNA targeting Ccl7 (M-Exo/siCCL7) in the IIRI model. M-Exo/siCCL7 treatment effectively attenuated intestinal inflammation and injury, as evidenced by reduced histological damage, decreased serum markers of intestinal barrier dysfunction, and attenuated systemic inflammation.
Conclusion: Our findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying IIRI, identify potential diagnostic biomarkers, and highlight the promise of exosome-based siRNA delivery as a novel therapeutic approach for IIRI.

Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IIRI) is a complex and severe pathophysiological process characterized by oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. In recent years, the critical roles of extracellular matrix (ECM) genes and microRNAs (miRNAs) in IIRI have garnered widespread attention. This review aims to systematically summarize the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of ECM gene sets and miRNA regulatory networks in IIRI.

SET domain bifurcated 1 (SETDB1), a histone H3K9-specific methyltransferase, is crucial for heterochromatin formation and intestinal homeostasis, but its role in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remains unclear. This study investigated changes in SETDB1-mediated nuclear chromatin regulation in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) using an IRI mouse model. Jejunal samples were collected after 75 min of ischemia followed by 24 hr of reperfusion.

Introduction: Xingnao Jiutan tablets (XNJT), a compound Chinese medicine, have been applied to the treatment of the sequelae of cerebral thrombosis or cerebral hemorrhage, transient cerebral ischemia, and central retinal vein obstruction, etc., but the underlying mechanisms are not yet clear. This research focused on examining the impact of XNJT for cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (MCAO/R) injury, utilizing gut microbiota and metabolomic studies.

Introduction: Globally, ischemic stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability, posing a significant challenge in clinical practice and public health. Recent studies have reported that stroke leads to the impairment of the intestinal barrier and the migration of intestinal bacteria to multiple organs. This process exacerbates neurological damage by further impairing intestinal barrier function and leading to bacterial translocation.

Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common life-threatening condition. Inflammatory dysregulation plays a crucial role in the pathological progression of intestinal I/R injury, indicating that controlling excessive inflammatory responses can be an effective strategy for mitigating I/R injury. Herein, after establishing a correlation between cell-free DNA (cfDNA) levels and postoperative inflammatory factors in samples from patients with intestinal I/R, we tested a cfDNA-scavenging approach for the treatment of intestinal I/R injury.
