Exosomal hsa_circ_0093884 derived from endothelial progenitor cells promotes therapeutic neovascularization via miR-145/SIRT1 pathway

Le résumé fourni par la source

Therapeutic neovascularization is a strategy to promote blood vessel growth and improve blood flow, which is critical to tissue repair and regeneration in ischemic diseases. Here, we investigated the role of endothelial progenitor cell - derived exosomes (EPC-Exos) in therapeutic neovascularization and clarified the mechanism of hsa_circ_0093884 in EPC-Exos mediated neovascularization. Injection of EPC-Exos improved mouse ischemic hindlimb perfusion, promoted angiogenesis in Matrigel plugs and mouse skin wound healing. In vitro coculture with EPC-Exos improved HUVEC proliferation, angiogenic and migration ability, while alleviated hypoxia-induced apoptosis. hsa_circ_0093884 was identified from eleven types of circRNA derived from SIRT1 and proved to be enriched in EPC-Exos. Overexpression of hsa_circ_0093884 in EPC-Exos further enhanced the angiogenic capacity, while knockdown of hsa_circ_0093884 abolished the benefits. Mechanistically, EPC-Exos mediated shuttling of hsa_circ_0093884 induced cytoplasmic sponge of miR-145, thereby releasing repression of SIRT1. In vitro co-transfection indicated silence of miR-145 further strengthened the angiogenic effect of hsa_circ_0093884, while overexpression of miR-145 inhibited hsa_circ_0093884 mediated angiogenesis and abolished the beneficial effect of EPC-Exos. Furthermore, in vivo experiments using endothelial specific SIRT1 conditional knockout mice indicated hsa_circ_0093884 overexpressing EPC-Exos failed to promote therapeutic neovascularization in SIRT1cKO mice. Collectively, our results demonstrated that EPC-Exos promoted therapeutic neovascularization through hsa_circ_0093884/miR-145/SIRT1 axis.
