Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of human death worldwide. Exosomes act as endogenous biological vectors; they possess advantages of low immunogenicity and low safety risks, also providing tissue selectivity, including the inherent targeting the to heart. Therefore, exosomes not only have been applied as biomarkers for diagnosis and therapeutic outcome confirmation but also showed potential as drug carriers for cardiovascular targeting delivery. This review aims to summarize the progress and challenges of exosomes as novel biomarkers, especially many novel exosomal noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), and also provides an overview of the improved targeting functions of exosomes by unique engineered approaches, the latest developed administration methods, and the therapeutic effects of exosomes used as the biocarriers of medications for cardiovascular disease treatment. Also, the possible therapeutic mechanisms and the potentials for transferring exosomes to the clinic for CVD treatment are discussed. The advances, in vivo and in vitro applications, modifications, mechanisms, and challenges summarized in this review will provide a general understanding of this promising strategy for CVD treatment.

Chung HC, Keiller DR, Swain PM, Chapman SL, Roberts JD, Gordon DA. Responsiveness to endurance training can be partly explained by the number of favorable single nucleotide polymorphisms an individual possesses. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0288996. [PMID: 37471354 PMCID: PMC10358902 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0288996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Cardiorespiratory fitness is a key component of health-related fitness. It is a necessary focus of improvement, especially for those that have poor fitness and are classed as untrained. However, much research has shown individuals respond differentially to identical training programs, suggesting the involvement of a genetic component in individual exercise responses. Previous research has focused predominantly on a relatively low number of candidate genes and their overall influence on exercise responsiveness. However, examination of gene-specific alleles may provide a greater level of understanding. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate the associations between cardiorespiratory fitness and an individual's genotype following a field-based endurance program within a previously untrained population. Participants (age: 29 ± 7 years, height: 175 ± 9 cm, mass: 79 ± 21 kg, body mass index: 26 ± 7 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to either a training (n = 21) or control group (n = 24). The training group completed a periodized running program for 8-weeks (duration: 20-30-minutes per session, intensity: 6-7 Borg Category-Ratio-10 scale rating, frequency: 3 sessions per week). Both groups completed a Cooper 12-minute run test to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness at baseline, mid-study, and post-study. One thousand single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were assessed via saliva sample collections. Cooper run distance showed a significant improvement (0.23 ± 0.17 km [11.51 ± 9.09%], p < 0.001, ES = 0.48 [95%CI: 0.16-0.32]), following the 8-week program, whilst controls displayed no significant changes (0.03 ± 0.15 km [1.55 ± 6.98%], p = 0.346, ES = 0.08, [95%CI: -0.35-0.95]). A significant portion of the inter-individual variation in Cooper scores could be explained by the number of positive alleles a participant possessed (r = 0.92, R2 = 0.85, p < 0.001). These findings demonstrate the relative influence of key allele variants on an individual's responsiveness to endurance training.

Abstract
Background Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality in children and the second most common in adults. This study aimed to explore the potentially causative genes in VSD patients in the Chinese Tibetan population, and to provide a theoretical basis for the genetic mechanism of VSD. Methods Peripheral venous blood was collected from 20 VSD subjects, and whole-genome DNA was extracted. High-throughput sequencing was performed on qualified DNA samples using whole-exome sequencing (WES) technology. After filtering, detecting, and annotating qualified data, single nucleotide variations (SNVs) and insertion-deletion (InDel) markers were analyzed, and data processing software such as GATK, SIFT, Polyphen, and MutationTaster were used for comparative evaluation and prediction of pathogenic deleterious variants associated with VSD. Results A total of 4793 variant loci, including 4168 SNVs, 557 InDels and 68 unknown loci and 2566 variant genes were obtained from 20 VSD subjects through bioinformatics analysis. According to the screening of the prediction software and database, the occurrence of VSD was predicted to be associated with five inherited pathogenic gene mutations, all of which were missense mutations, including NOTCH2 (c.1396C >A:p.Gln466Lys), ATIC (c.235C >T:p.Arg79Cys), MRI1 (c.629G >A:p.Arg210Gln), SLC6A13 (c.1138G >A:p.Gly380Arg), ATP13A2 (c.1363C >T:p.Arg455Trp). Conclusion This study demonstrated that NOTCH2, ATIC, MRI1, SLC6A13, ATP13A2 gene variants were potentially associated with VSD in Chinese Tibetan population.

Abstract
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most frequent congenital cardiac malformations. Amniotic fluid (AF) contains a higher abundance of biological compounds that could reflect fetal health information. The aims of our study were to construct a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network based on AF-derived exosomal ncRNAs. We conducted whole transcriptome profiling in six pairs of AF-derived exosomes from VSD fetuses and matched healthy controls. A total of 1252 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs, 256 DE-miRNAs and 1090 DE-lncRNAs were found to be significantly altered in the VSD group. We constructed a ceRNA regulatory network including 46 mRNAs, 11 miRNAs and 47 lncRNAs. The expression level of 6 hub RNAs were validated using qRT-PCR. In conclusion, AF-derived exosomal VSD-related ceRNAs provide a basis for a better understanding of the role of ncRNAs in the pathogenesis and mechanisms of VSD, which may lead to the discovery of potential diagnostic biomarkers for fetal VSD.

Abstract
Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are complex traits that manifest in diverse clinical phenotypes such as the Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), valvular and ventricular/atrial septal defects. Genetic mechanisms of CHDs have remained largely unclear to date. Copy number variations (CNVs) have been implicated in many complex diseases but their impact has not been examined extensively in various forms of CHD lesions. We report in this study, to the best of our knowledge, the largest cohort of Saudi Arab CHD patients to date who were evaluated using genome-wide CNV analysis. In a sample of 134 Saudi Arab patients with CHD, 66 exhibited pathogenic or likely pathogenic CNVs. Notably, 21 copy number gains and 11 copy number losses were detected that encompassed 141 genes and 146 genes, respectively. The most frequent gains were on 17q21.31, 8p11.21, and 22q11.23, whereas the losses were primarily localized to 16p11.2. Interestingly, all lesions have had gains at 17q21.31. Septal defects had also gains at 8p11.21 and 22q11.23, valvular lesions at 8p11.21, 22q11.23, and 2q13, and TOF at 16p11.2. Functional and network analyses demonstrated that cardiovascular and nervous system development and function as well as cell death/survival were most significantly associated with CNVs, thus highlighting the potentially important genes likely to be involved in CHD, including NPHP1, PLCB1, KANSL1, and NR3C1. In conclusion, this genome-wide analysis identifies a high frequency of CNVs mostly in patients with septal defects, primarily influencing cardiovascular developmental and functional pathways, thereby offering a deeper insight into the complex networks involved in CHD pathogenesis.
