While reperfusion therapy is vital for patient survival post-heart attack, it also causes further tissue injury, known as myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in clinical practice. Exploring ways to attenuate I/R injury is of clinical interest for improving post-ischemic recovery. A platelet-inspired nanocell (PINC) that incorporates both prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-modified platelet membrane and cardiac stromal cell-secreted factors to target the heart after I/R injury is introduced. By taking advantage of the natural infarct-homing ability of platelet membrane and the overexpression of PGE2 receptors (EPs) in the pathological cardiac microenvironment after I/R injury, the PINCs can achieve targeted delivery of therapeutic payload to the injured heart. Furthermore, a synergistic treatment efficacy can be achieved by PINC, which combines the paracrine mechanism of cell therapy with the PGE2/EP receptor signaling that is involved in the repair and regeneration of multiple tissues. In a mouse model of myocardial I/R injury, intravenous injection of PINCs results in augmented cardiac function and mitigated heart remodeling, which is accompanied by the increase in cycling cardiomyocytes, activation of endogenous stem/progenitor cells, and promotion of angiogenesis. This approach represents a promising therapeutic delivery platform for treating I/R injury.}, number={4}, journal={ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS}, author={Su, Teng and Huang, Ke and Ma, Hong and Liang, Hongxia and Dinh, Phuong-Uyen and Chen, Justin and Shen, Deliang and Allen, Tyler A. and Qiao, Li and Li, Zhenhua and et al.}, year={2019}, month={Jan} }

The constitution of exosomes, as well as their biological activity, largely depends on the cells that secrete them. We isolated exosomes from explant-derived cardiac stromal cells from patients with heart failure (FEXO) or from normal donor hearts (NEXO) and compared their regenerative activities in vitro and in vivo. Patients in the FEXO group exhibited an impaired ability to promote endothelial tube formation and cardiomyocyte proliferation in vitro. Intramyocardial injection of NEXO resulted in structural and functional improvements in a murine model of acute myocardial infarction. In contrast, FEXO therapy exacerbated cardiac function and left ventricular remodeling. microRNA array and PCR analysis revealed dysregulation of miR-21-5p in FEXO. Restoring miR-21-5p expression rescued FEXO's reparative function, whereas blunting miR-21-5p expression in NEXO diminished its therapeutic benefits. Further mechanistic studies revealed that miR-21-5p augmented Akt kinase activity through the inhibition of phosphatase and tensin homolog. Taken together, the heart failure pathological condition altered the miR cargos of cardiac-derived exosomes and impaired their regenerative activities. miR-21-5p contributes to exosome-mediated heart repair by enhancing angiogenesis and cardiomyocyte survival through the phosphatase and tensin homolog/Akt pathway.}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF CLINICAL INVESTIGATION}, publisher={American Society for Clinical Investigation}, author={Qiao, Li and Hu, Shiqi and Liu, Suyun and Zhang, Hui and Ma, Hong and Huang, Ke and Li, Zhenhua and Su, Teng and Vandergrif, Adam and Tang, Junnan and et al.}, year={2019}, month={Jun}, pages={2237–2250} }

We recently showed that two intracellular chaperones, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and cysteine string protein (CSP), associate with MARCKS in the secretory mechanism. To elucidate more fully MARCKS-HSP70 interactions in this process, studies were performed in well-differentiated normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells maintained in air-liquid interface culture utilizing specific pharmacological inhibition of HSP70 with pyrimidinone MAL3-101 and siRNA approaches. The results indicate that HSP70 interaction with MARCKS is enhanced after exposure of the cells to the protein kinase C activator/mucin secretagogue, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Pretreatment of NHBEs with MAL3-101 attenuated in a concentration-dependent manner PMA-stimulated mucin secretion and interactions among HSP70, MARCKS, and CSP. In additional studies, trafficking of MARCKS in living NHBE cells was investigated after transfecting cells with fluorescently tagged DNA constructs: MARCKS-yellow fluorescent protein, and/or HSP70-cyan fluorescent protein. Cells were treated with PMA 48 h posttransfection, and trafficking of the constructs was examined by confocal microscopy. MARCKS translocated rapidly from plasma membrane to cytoplasm, whereas HSP70 was observed in the cytoplasm and appeared to associate with MARCKS after PMA exposure. Pretreatment of cells with either MAL3-101 or HSP70 siRNA inhibited translocation of MARCKS. These results provide evidence of a role for HSP70 in mediating mucin secretion via interactions with MARCKS and that these interactions are critical for the cytoplasmic translocation of MARCKS upon its phosphorylation.}, number={8}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY-LUNG CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR PHYSIOLOGY}, author={Fang, Shijing and Crews, Anne L. and Chen, Wei and Park, Joungjoa and Yin, Qi and Ren, Xiu-Rong and Adler, Kenneth B.}, year={2013}, month={Apr}, pages={L511–L518} }

A peptide identical to the N-terminus of MARCKS (the MANS peptide), shown previously to inhibit the function of MARCKS in various cell types, was used. We investigated whether this MARCKS-related peptide could affect migration of macrophages, using the mouse macrophage-like J774A.1 cell line and primary murine macrophages. Both of these cell types migrated in response to the chemoattractants macrophage/MCPs, MCP-1 (25-100 ng/ml) or C5a (5-20 ng/ml). Cells were preincubated (15 min) with MANS or a mis-sense control peptide (RNS), both at 50 μM, and effects on migration determined 3 h after addition of chemoattractants. The movement and interactions of MARCKS and actin also were followed visually via confocal microscopy using a fluorescently labeled antibody to MARCKS and fluorescently tagged phalloidin to identify actin. MANS, but not RNS, attenuated migration of J774A.1 cells and primary macrophages in response to MCP-1 or C5a, implicating MARCKS in the cellular mechanism of directed migration. Exposure of cells to MCP-1 resulted in rapid phosphorylation and translocation of MARCKS from plasma membrane to cytosol, whereas actin appeared to spread through the cell and into cell protrusions; there was visual and biochemical evidence of a transient interaction between MARCKS and actin during the process of migration. These results suggest that MARCKS is involved in directed migration of macrophages via a process involving its phosphorylation, cytoplasmic translocation, and interaction with actin.}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Leukocyte Biology}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Green, T.
