This letter concerns the isolation, characterization, and functional assessment of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from Wharton's Jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) and their effects on macrophages and stellate cells.

The absence of additional characterization techniques, such as nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) or density gradient purification raises concerns about the reliability of the size distribution data obtained via dynamic light scattering (DLS).

Cellular morphology and expression levels of moDC-specific markers (CD80, CD86, CD11c, CD14 and HLA-DR) were analysed using electron microscopy (EM) and flow cytometry (FCM), respectively. Differentially expressed lncRNAs and their functions were predicted using gene sequencing, gene ontology and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes.

However, the regulatory mechanisms upstream of SIAT7A in this context remain poorly elucidated. Previous study demonstrated that KLF4 activates the <i>SIAT7A</i> gene in ischemic myocardium by binding to its promoter region. Nevertheless, the potential involvement of KLF4 in regulating SIAT7A expression in Ang II-induced hypertrophic cardiomyocytes remains uncertain. This study seeks to deepen the underlying mechanisms of the KLF4 and SIAT7A interaction in the progression of Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy. The results showed a concurrent increase in SIAT7A and KLF4 levels in hypertrophic myocardium of essential hypertension patients and in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes stimulated by Ang II. In vitro experiments revealed that reducing KLF4 levels led to a decrease in both SIAT7A synthesis and Sialyl-Tn antigen expression, consequently inhibiting Ang II-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Intriguingly, reducing SIAT7A levels also resulted in decreased KLF4 expression and suppression cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Consistent with this, elevating SIAT7A levels increased KLF4 expression and exacerbated cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Additionally, a time-course analysis indicated that KLF4 expression preceded that of SIAT7A. Luciferase reporter assays further confirmed that modulating <i>SIAT7A</i> levels directly influenced the transcriptional activity of <i>KLF4</i> in cardiomyocytes. In summary, KLF4 expression is upregulated in cardiomyocytes treated with Ang II, which subsequently induces the expression of SIAT7A. The elevated levels of SIAT7A, in turn, enhance the transcription of <i>KLF4</i>.

Machine learning models were constructed to predict outcomes based on apelin/APJ expression, and experimental validation was conducted to explore the pathway's impact on HCC angiogenesis. Single cell analysis revealed an overexpression of APJ/Aplin in the endothelium. The stemness of endothelial cell (EC) with high apelin/APJ was enhanced, as well as the expression of TGFb, oxidative stresses and PI3K/AKT pathway genes. Spatial transcriptomics confirmed that EC populations with high APJ scores were enriched within the tumour. Machine learning models showed high prognostic accuracy.
