These microvesicles are laden with microRNAs, which assist in wound healing via angiogenesis and immune modulation. However, quick degradation and poor cellular uptake limit their regenerative capacity. Thanks to their adjustable characteristics, hydrogels can act as vehicles for transporting and sustainably releasing miRNA-SC-EVs at injury sites. Therefore, a systematic literature review was conducted on miRNA-enriched SC-EVs incorporated into hydrogels in animal skin regeneration models published from 2010 to 2024 (PROSPERO ID: CRD42024588072). Out of the 89 records, 12 met the criteria. Diabetic wounds are characterized by chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and defective macrophage polarization, resulting in less satisfactory regeneration. The hydrogels tackled these issues by shifting macrophages from a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to a healing M2 phenotype, promoting collagen production, enhancing fibroblast movement, and boosting angiogenesis. Burn injuries frequently lead to slow recovery due to hypertrophic scarring, extended inflammation, and infection. Hyaluronic acid (HA)-derived hydrogels, infused with miR-21-5p and surface-treated with polydopamine and cationic antimicrobial peptides, promoted wound healing by lowering scarring and demonstrating anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and pro-angiogenic characteristics. The cell adhesion of these hydrogels can be enhanced by adding MOFs, chitosan, and extracellular matrix elements.

Ferroptosis, a novel form of regulated cell death, has emerged as a critical player in various CCVDs, including atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, ischemia-reperfusion injury, cardiomyopathy, and ischemic/hemorrhagic strokes. This review highlights the core mechanisms of ferroptosis, its pathological implications in CCVDs, and the therapeutic potential of targeting this process. Additionally, it explores the role of Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) in mitigating ferroptosis, offering novel therapeutic strategies for CCVDs management. Ferroptosis is regulated by several key pathways. The GPX4-GSH-System Xc- axis is central to ferroptosis execution, involving GPX4 using GSH to neutralize lipid peroxides, with system Xc- being crucial for GSH synthesis. The NAD(P)H/FSP1/CoQ10 axis involves FSP1 regenerating CoQ10 via NAD(P)H, inhibiting lipid peroxidation independently of GPX4. Lipid peroxidation, driven by PUFAs and enzymes like ACSL4 and LPCAT3, and iron metabolism, regulated by proteins like TfR1 and ferritin, are also crucial for ferroptosis. Inhibiting ferroptosis shows promise in managing CCVDs. In atherosclerosis, ferroptosis inhibitors reduce iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. In myocardial infarction, inhibitors protect cardiomyocytes by preserving GPX4 and SLC7A11 levels. In ischemia-reperfusion injury, targeting ferroptosis reduces myocardial and cerebral damage. In diabetic cardiomyopathy, Nrf2 activators alleviate oxidative stress and iron metabolism irregularities. CHMs offer natural compounds that mitigate ferroptosis. They possess antioxidant properties, chelate iron, and modulate signaling pathways like Nrf2 and AMPK. For example, Salvia miltiorrhiza and Astragalus membranaceus reduce oxidative stress, while some CHMs chelate iron, reducing its availability for ferroptosis. In conclusion, ferroptosis plays a pivotal role in CCVDs, and targeting it offers novel therapeutic avenues. CHMs show promise in reducing ferroptosis and improving patient outcomes.

The levels of mRNAs and proteins were detected by qPCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. CCK-8, colony formation, EdU, and transwell assays were used to detect HCC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Immunoprecipitation and CHX assays were used to reveal the regulatory effect of high glucose on WTAP. An RNA degradation experiment was used to explore WTAP's regulation of HK2 mRNA. To demonstrate the effect of high glucose on HCC growth in vivo, a diabetic mouse model was constructed, and HCC cells were subcutaneously injected. High glucose prominently increased the global level of m6A in HCC cells. Interestingly, high glucose upregulated WTAP protein rather than mRNA expression. We found that WTAP expression was significantly upregulated in HCC tissues, especially in tumor tissues of diabetic patients. WTAP knockdown markedly attenuated high glucose-induced abilities of HCC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion. Meanwhile, WTAP overexpression significantly enhanced the malignant behaviors of HCC cells under low glucose conditions.
