Telocytes (TCs), a newly identified type of mesenchymal cell since 2010, possess substantial potential in maintaining tissue homeostasis, orchestrating organ development, and facilitating tissue regeneration. Their distribution in blood, the adventitia of blood vessels, and the intima implies a close association with vascular function. Ischemic heart disease (IHD), a significant challenge in cardiovascular disease, is characterized by the occlusion of major vessels, obstruction of collateral circulation, and disruption of the capillary network-pathological features closely linked to endothelial cell damage. Myocardial tissue is rich in cardiac telocytes (cTCs), which, following myocardial injury, can secrete numerous miRNAs that promote angiogenesis, including miR-let-7e, miR-10a, and miR-126-3p. This indicates that cTCs may have therapeutic potential for IHD. The primary mechanism by which cTCs-derived exosomes exert paracrine effects is through reducing endothelial cell injury, suggesting that enhancing the production of cTCs could offer a novel therapeutic approach for treating IHD.
2010年以来新发现的一种间充质细胞——间充质干细胞,在维持组织内稳态、协调器官发育和促进组织再生方面具有巨大潜力。它们在血液、血管外膜和内膜中的分布表明与血管功能密切相关。缺血性心脏病(IHD)是心血管疾病中的一项重大挑战,其特征是主要血管闭塞、侧支循环受阻以及毛细血管网络破坏——这些病理特征与内皮细胞损伤密切相关。心肌组织富含心脏间充质干细胞(cTCs),在心肌损伤后,cTCs可分泌多种促进血管生成的微小RNA(miRNAs),包括miR-let-7e、miR-10a和miR-126-3p。这表明cTCs可能对IHD具有治疗潜力。cTCs衍生的外泌体发挥旁分泌作用的主要机制是通过减少内皮细胞损伤,这表明增加cTCs的产生可能为治疗IHD提供一种新的治疗方法。
