Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UMSCs) derived exosomes (exosome) can repair the heart after myocardial infarction (MI) by delivering circ-0001273 and its mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Through the Sprague Dawley (SD) rat MI model was established, at the same time, we designed si-circ-0001273. Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), exosome and si-circ-0001273-exosome were transplanted into ischemic hearts of rat, respectively. Through the echocardiography, hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) method to detect the rat heart recovery. Meanwhile, H9c2 was treated with hypoxic serum-free serum to construct an in vitro apoptosis model to further explore the effect of circ-0001273 on myocardial cell apoptosis. RESULTS: Compared with the exosome-treated group, the left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) and shortened fraction (FS) of the rat heart was remarkably reduced and the cardiac structure was more disordered in the si-circ-0001273-exosome-treated group. Meanwhile, in vitro TUNEL staining and flow cytometry detection, results showed that compared with the exosome co-culture group, the incidence of H9C2 cell apoptosis in the si-circ-0001273-exosome co-culture group was obviously increased. CONCLUSIONS: Circ-0001273 can remarkably inhibit the occurrence of myocardial cell apoptosis in ischemic environment, promote MI repair, and provide a good reference for clinical treatment.
