Hypoxia-Elicited Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Alleviate Myocardial Infarction by Promoting Angiogenesis through the miR-214/Sufu Pathway

Figure 7

Effects and mechanisms of hypoxia pretreatment promote angiogenesis of huMSC-derived sEVs after myocardial infarction. Hypoxia pretreatment upregulates the expression level of miR-214 and increased miR-214 expression in the vesicles (MSChyp-sEVs). MSChyp-sEVs can be efficiently internalized by endothelial cells and activates hedgehog pathway resulting in modulation of angiogenesis.
