Abstract
Cell therapy has been evaluated to enhance heart function after injury. Delivered cells mostly act via paracrine mechanisms, including secreted growth factors, cytokines, and vesicles, such as exosomes (Exo). Intramyocardial injection of cardiac-resident progenitor cells (CPC)-derived Exo reduced scarring and improved cardiac function after myocardial infarction in rats. Here, we explore a clinically relevant approach to enhance the homing process to cardiomyocytes (CM), which is crucial for therapeutic efficacy upon systemic delivery of Exo. By overexpressing exosomal CXCR4, we increased the efficacy of plasmatic injection of cardioprotective Exo-CPC by increasing their bioavailability to ischemic hearts. Intravenous injection of Exo <sup>CXCR4</sup> significantly reduced infarct size and improved left ventricle ejection fraction at 4 weeks compared to Exo <sup>CTRL</sup> (p < 0.01). Hemodynamic measurements showed that Exo <sup>CXCR4</sup> improved dp/dt min, as compared to Exo <sup>CTRL</sup> and PBS group. In vitro, Exo <sup>CXCR4</sup> was more bioactive than Exo <sup>CTRL</sup> in preventing CM death. This in vitro effect was independent from SDF-1α, as shown by using AMD3100 as specific CXCR4 antagonist. We showed, for the first time, that systemic administration of Exo derived from CXCR4-overexpressing CPC improves heart function in a rat model of ischemia reperfusion injury These data represent a substantial step toward clinical application of Exo-based therapeutics in cardiovascular disease.
