DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Ischemic cardiac and cerebral vascular diseases continue to represent a significant and growing source of morbidity and mortality despite advances in traditional treatments. Recently, novel emerging therapeutic strategies focus on stem cells. Adipose tissue derived stem cells (ASCs), which are easily acquired and have reduced surface histocompatibility antigens increasing their allo-transplantation potential, were demonstrated to have beneficial effect on ischemic heart and limb in animals likely due to a paracrine function rather than transdifferentiation. Besides secreted soluble growth factors, cell-released microvesicles (MVs) have been recently described as a new mechanism of intercellular communication. MVs play an important role in cell biologic processes not only by specifically targeting recipient cells to deliver proteins, lipids and/or trigger downstream signalng events, but also by transferring genetic material, mRNA and microRNA. Our preliminary studies for the first time demonstrated that 1). MVs are released from human ASCs (hASCs) and promote vascular endothelial cell migration, 2). They contain RNA, mostly small RNA, 3). These small RNAs, rich in angiogenesis-regulating miRNAs, are proangiogenic. Although the importance of cognate miRNA in angiogenesis and endothelial function has been addressed, the mechanism for of angiogenic effect of miRNAs present in stem cell-released MVs is so far unknown. The goal of this proposal is to unravel the mechanistic aspects of the proangiogenic effect of hASCs-MVs in detail. We hypothesize that microRNAs in MVs secreted by hASCs is proangiogenic. In Aim 1 we will examine the angiogenic effects of miRNAs in hASCs-released MVs using two loss-of-function strategies. hASCs will be transduced with Lentivirus-based specific anti-miRNA hairpin expression construct and the angiogenic potential of the ensuing MVs on the endothelial cells will be assessed. Vascular endothelial cells will be co-transfected with specific anti-miRNA inhibitor and small RNAs isolated from hASCs-released MVs and assessed for angiogenesis. In Aim 2, we will determine the target genes of proangiogenic miRNA from hASCs-released MVs in vascular endothelial cells by profiling analysis of mRNA and proteins. The predicted target genes of miRNA from hASCs-released MVs in recipient cells will be confirmed by using a 3'UTR insertion reporter constructs. These studies will expand our currently scant knowledge of mechanistic aspects of proangiogenic miRNA present in stem cell-released MVs as well as shed light on their paracrine/endocrine properties and set the basis for their use as a novel therapeutic approach for cerebro-vascular disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管传统治疗方法取得了进展，但缺血性心脑血管疾病仍然是发病率和死亡率的重要来源，且不断增长。近年来，新兴的治疗策略集中在干细胞上。脂肪组织来源的干细胞（ASC），这是容易获得的，并具有减少的表面组织相容性抗原增加其同种异体移植的潜力，被证明有有益的效果，在动物缺血的心脏和肢体可能由于旁分泌功能，而不是转分化。除了分泌的可溶性生长因子外，细胞释放的微泡（MV）最近被描述为一种新的细胞间通讯机制。MV不仅通过特异性靶向受体细胞以递送蛋白质、脂质和/或触发下游信号事件，而且通过转移遗传物质、mRNA和microRNA在细胞生物学过程中发挥重要作用。我们的初步研究首次表明：（1）。MV从人ASC（hASC）释放并促进血管内皮细胞迁移，2）。它们含有RNA，主要是小RNA，3）。这些富含血管生成调节miRNAs的小RNA是促血管生成的。尽管相关miRNA在血管生成和内皮功能中的重要性已经得到了解决，但干细胞释放的MV中存在的miRNA的血管生成作用的机制迄今为止尚不清楚。该提案的目标是详细阐明hASCs-MV的促血管生成作用的机制方面。我们假设，由hASC分泌的MV中的microRNA是促血管生成的。在目的1中，我们将使用两种功能丧失策略来检查miRNAs在hASC释放的MV中的血管生成作用。将用基于慢病毒的特异性抗miRNA发夹表达构建体转导hASC，并评估随后MV在内皮细胞上的血管生成潜力。血管内皮细胞将用特异性抗miRNA抑制剂和从hASC释放的MV分离的小RNA共转染，并评估血管生成。目的2：通过mRNA和蛋白质的表达谱分析，确定血管内皮细胞中hASCs释放的MV中促血管生成miRNA的靶基因。将通过使用3 'UTR插入报告基因构建体来确认来自受体细胞中的hASC释放的MV的miRNA的预测靶基因。这些研究将扩展我们目前对干细胞释放的MV中存在的促血管生成miRNA的机制方面缺乏的知识，并揭示其旁分泌/内分泌特性，并为其用作血管疾病的新治疗方法奠定基础。
