Abstract
Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) exhibits tissue-specific pro- or anti-angiogenic effects. Previous studies have demonstrated that matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBVs) act as key bioactive components of dECM, replicating various biological functions such as anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. Building on this evidence, this study hypothesized that MBVs derived from cartilage and small intestinal submucosa (SIS) modulate angiogenesis through the selective packaging of miRNAs. Cartilage-derived MBVs (cMBVs) and SIS-derived MBVs (sMBVs) were isolated, characterized, and analyzed for their miRNA profiles using RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR validation. The interactions between MBVs and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were assessed by examining proliferation, adhesion, migration, and tube formation in comparison to the parent ECM. Angiogenic modulation was further evaluated using a mouse Matrigel plug assay and a rabbit corneal neovascularization (NV) model. Our results demonstrated that anti-angiogenic miRNAs (e.g., miR-140-3p, miR-455-5p, and miR-148a-5p) were predominant in cMBVs, suppressing endothelial cell activity and angiogenesis, while pro-angiogenic miRNAs (e.g., miR-143-3p, miR-181a, and miR-21-5p) were prevalent in sMBVs, enhancing vessel formation. In vivo, cMBVs significantly inhibited vascular invasion and neovessel formation, whereas sMBVs promoted angiogenesis in both models. These findings confirm that MBVs reflect the tissue-specific angiogenic regulatory functions of their parent ECM, and highlight their potential as therapeutic tools for targeted modulation of angiogenesis in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.
期刊介绍:
Biomaterials Advances, previously known as Materials Science and Engineering: C-Materials for Biological Applications (P-ISSN: 0928-4931, E-ISSN: 1873-0191). Includes topics at the interface of the biomedical sciences and materials engineering. These topics include:
• Bioinspired and biomimetic materials for medical applications
• Materials of biological origin for medical applications
• Materials for "active" medical applications
• Self-assembling and self-healing materials for medical applications
• "Smart" (i.e., stimulus-response) materials for medical applications
• Ceramic, metallic, polymeric, and composite materials for medical applications
• Materials for in vivo sensing
• Materials for in vivo imaging
• Materials for delivery of pharmacologic agents and vaccines
• Novel approaches for characterizing and modeling materials for medical applications
Manuscripts on biological topics without a materials science component, or manuscripts on materials science without biological applications, will not be considered for publication in Materials Science and Engineering C. New submissions are first assessed for language, scope and originality (plagiarism check) and can be desk rejected before review if they need English language improvements, are out of scope or present excessive duplication with published sources.
Biomaterials Advances sits within Elsevier''s biomaterials science portfolio alongside Biomaterials, Materials Today Bio and Biomaterials and Biosystems. As part of the broader Materials Today family, Biomaterials Advances offers authors rigorous peer review, rapid decisions, and high visibility. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
