Recent reports have highlighted the significance of stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) signaling pathway mediated pyroptosis, and inflammation in cardiovascular disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that exercise training effectively prevents cardiac pyroptosis and inflammation in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. However, it is currently unknown whether exercise reduces pyroptosis and inflammation in obese hearts by targeting the STING-NLRP3 signaling pathway. We investigated the impact of an 8-week aerobic exercise regimen on cardiac function, pyroptosis, inflammation, and the STING-NLRP3 signaling pathway in HFD-induced obese mice. Additionally, to explore the underlying mechanism of STING in exercise-mediated cardioprotection, we administered intraperitoneal injections of the STING agonist diABZI to the mice. Furthermore, to investigate the role of the STING-NLRP3 signaling pathway in HFD-induced cardiac dysfunction, we administered adeno-associated virus 9 (AAV9) encoding shRNA targeting STING (shRNA-STING) via tail vein injection to knockdown STING expression specifically in mouse hearts. After one week of AAV9 injection, we intraperitoneally injected nigericin as an NLRP3 agonist. We first found that aerobic exercise effectively suppressed HFD-mediated upregulation of STING and NLRP3 in the hearts. Moreover, we demonstrated that the protective effect of aerobic exercise in HFD-induced cardiac dysfunction, pyroptosis, and inflammation was impaired by stimulating the STING pathway using diABZI. Additionally, activation of the NLRP3 with nigericin abolished the ameliorative effect of STING deficiency in HFD-induced cardiac dysfunction, pyroptosis, and inflammation. Based on these findings, we concluded that 8-week aerobic exercise alleviates HFD-induced cardiac dysfunction, pyroptosis, and inflammation by targeting STING-NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Published datasets from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus with accession numbers GSE62203 and GSE197850 were selected for analysis. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by the online tool GEO2R. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed using the DAVID online database.

Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to validate the expression levels of hub genes. A total of 73 common DEGs were identified in both datasets, including 47 upregulated and 26 downregulated genes. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses revealed that the DEGs were significantly enriched in metabolism, hypoxia response, apoptosis, cell proliferation regulation, and cytoplasmic and HIF signalling pathways.

Nonetheless, conflicting evidence exists regarding the distinct impacts of MSCs on tumor progression, with some studies suggesting promotion while others indicate suppression of tumor cell growth. Considering that oxidative stress is implicated in the dynamic interaction between components of the TME and tumor cells, we investigated the contribution of exosomes released by hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-treated MSCs to murine mammary tumor growth and progression. Additionally, we aimed to identify the underlying mechanism through which MSC-derived exosomes affect breast tumor growth and angiogenesis. Our findings demonstrated that exosomes released by H₂O₂-treated, stress-induced MSCs (St-MSC Exo) promoted breast cancer cell progression by inducing the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and markers associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Further clarification revealed that the promoting effect of St-MSC Exo on VEGF expression may, in part, depend on activating STAT3 signaling in BC cells. In contrast, exosomes derived from untreated MSCs retarded JAK1/STAT3 phosphorylation and reduced VEGF expression. Additionally, our observations revealed that the activation of the transcription factor NF-κB in BC cells, stimulated with St-MSC Exo, occurs concurrently with an increase in intracellular ROS production. Moreover, we observed that the increase in VEGF secretion into the conditioned media of 4T1 BC, mediated by St-MSC Exo, positively influenced endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and vascular behavior in vitro. In turn, our in vivo studies confirmed that St-MSC Exo, but not exosomes derived from untreated MSCs, exhibited a significant promoting effect on breast tumorigenicity. Collectively, our findings provide new insights into how MSCs may contribute to modulating the TME.
