Abstract (original English)

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) refers to the deterioration of cardiac function after restoring ischemic myocardium perfusion. Stem cell exosomes have produced unique advantages in treating MI/RI. However, the roles of exosomal microRNA-223-3p (miR-223-3p) from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on MI/RI are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of exosomal miR-223-3p from ADSCs on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced H9c2 cell injuries. Our findings indicated that the separated ADSC-derived exosomes (ADSC-Exo) were spherical, with a complete cell membrane, an average diameter of 110 nm, and CD9 and CD63 expression. ADSC-Exo increased the cell viability, proliferation, glutathione (GSH) level, and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and miR-223-3p expression and decreased the apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and Fe 2+ levels and acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 (ACSL4) and transferrin receptor (TFRC) expression of H9c2 cells. Overexpressing exosomal miR-223-3p from ADSCs further strengthened the effects of ADSC-Exo on H9c2 cells. Overexpressing TFRC in H9c2 cells effectively reversed the effects of miR-223-3p overexpressed ADSC-Exo on H9c2 cells. In addition, miR-223-3p targeted and negatively regulated TFRC. This study confirmed that exosomal miR-223-3p from ADSCs alleviated H/R-induced ferroptosis of
