Abstract (original English)

Background Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) poses a prevalent challenge in current reperfusion therapies, with an absence of efficacious interventions to address the underlying causes. Aim To investigate whether the extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by adipose mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) derived from subcutaneous inguinal adipose tissue (IAT) under γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) induction (GABA-EVs IAT ) demonstrate a more pronounced inhibitory effect on mitochondrial oxidative stress and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Methods We investigated the potential protective effects of EVs derived from mouse ADSCs pretreated with GABA. We assessed cardiomyocyte injury using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end-labeling and Annexin V/propidium iodide assays. The integrity of cardiomyocyte mitochondria morphology was assessed using electron microscopy across various intervention backgrounds. To explore the functional RNA diversity between EVs IAT and GABA-EVs IAT , we employed microRNA (miR) sequencing. Through a dual-luciferase reporter assay, we confirmed the molecular mechanism by which EVs mediate thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP). Western blotting and immunofluorescence were conducted to determine how TXNIP is involved in mediation of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Results Our study demonstrates that, under the influence of
