Figure 1.
Antiproliferative and antiremodeling role of MSC-NVs in pulmonary hypertension as shown by the study of Hu and colleagues (6). Upper panel: Production of MSC-NVs from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Left: Dysregulation of miR-125b-5p and miR-100-5p in lung tissue from patients with PAH and rats with monocrotaline-induced PH. Middle and right: Treatment with MSC-NVs carrying miR-125b-5p and miR-100-5p cargo decrease PDGF-induced proliferation and migration of PASMCs and reduce pulmonary vascular remodeling and PH in rats. MCT = monocrotaline; MSC-NVs = mesenchymal stem cells-derived nanovesicles; PAH = pulmonary arterial hypertension; PASMCs = pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells; PDGF = platelet-derived growth factor; PH = pulmonary hypertension.
