Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized vesicles, released from many cell types including cardiac cells, have recently emerged as intercellular communication tools in cell dynamics. EVs are an important mediator of signaling within cells that influencing the functional behavior of the target cells. In heart complex, cardiac cells can easily use EVs to transport bioactive molecules such as proteins, lipids, and RNAs to the regulation of neighboring cell function. Cross-talk between intracardiac cells plays pivotal roles in the heart homeostasis and in adaptive responses of the heart to stress. EVs were released by cardiomyocytes under baseline conditions, but stress condition such as hypoxia intensifies secretome capacity. EVs secreted by cardiac progenitor cells and cardiosphere-derived cells could be pinpointed as important mediators of cardioprotection and cardiogenesis. Furthermore, EVs from many different types of stem cells could potentially exert a therapeutic effect on the damaged heart. Recent evidence shows that cardiac-derived EVs are rich in microRNAs, suggesting a key role in the controlling of cellular processes. EVs harboring exosomes may be clinically useful in cell-free therapy approaches and potentially act as prognosis and diagnosis biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases.
细胞外囊泡 (EVs) 是一种纳米大小的囊泡,由包括心肌细胞在内的许多细胞类型释放,最近作为细胞动态中的细胞间通讯工具出现。EVs 是细胞内信号转导的重要介质,影响靶细胞的功能行为。在心脏中,心肌细胞可以很容易地利用 EVs 将生物活性分子如蛋白质、脂质和 RNA 运送到邻近细胞功能的调节中。心脏细胞之间的串扰在心脏稳态和心脏对压力的适应性反应中起着关键作用。EVs 在基础条件下由心肌细胞释放,但缺氧等应激条件会增强分泌能力。心肌祖细胞和心脏球源性细胞分泌的 EVs 可以被确定为心脏保护和心脏发生的重要介质。此外,来自许多不同类型干细胞的 EVs 可能对受损心脏发挥治疗作用。最近的证据表明,心脏来源的 EVs 富含 microRNAs,表明它们在控制细胞过程中起着关键作用。携带外泌体的 EVs 在无细胞治疗方法中可能具有临床应用价值,并可能作为心血管疾病的预后和诊断生物标志物。
