Angiogenesis is the pathological process of forming new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels. It is one of the main features of many conditions such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression. Recent studies have suggested that miRNAs play a significant role in angiogenesis. The study from Wang et al reported a novel angiomiR, miRNA-329, and its negative correlation with CD 146 expression in angiogenesis. These in vitro and in vivo studies introduce an appealing new way of treating angiogenesis by targeting CD146.

Bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSC) may be an alternative for the treatment of patients with severe coronary artery disease ineligible for either percutaneous or surgical revascularization. This case report presents a 65-year-old male patient with untreatable angina pectoris (Canadian Cardiovascular Society Class III) and severe coronary artery disease. A mixture of BMSC containing approximately 3×106 CD34+ cells was directly injected into preoperatively determined ischemic regions of the myocardium by median sternotomy. At baseline, at 3 months, and at 1 year of follow-up, echocardiography (demonstrating wall motions of 16 segments), single-photon emission computed tomography, and coronary angiography (at baseline and at 1 year) were performed to assess myocardial perfusion, left ventricular (LV) function and coronary anatomy. The patient reached Canadian Cardiovascular Society Class I after 6 months of cell implantation. The ejection fraction increased from 34% to 37% at the third month and 40% at 1 year of follow-up. At 1 year of follow-up, preoperatively akinetic mid-base septum and anteroseptal regions progressed to mild hipokinesia and severe hypokinetic mid-base-apical anterior regions and apical lateral-inferior regions became normokinesia. Single-photon emission computed tomography revealed a visible improvement in anterior and lateral segments at 1 year of follow-up. Coronary angiography showed newly developed collateral arteries at 1 year of follow-up. BMSC transplantation in a patient with severe coronary artery disease resulted in increase of LV ejection fraction, an increase of the perfusion of ischemic myocardial regions, and improvement in wall motion defects without any adverse events.

The purpose of this project was to investigate the angiogenic mechanism of bioactive borate glass for soft tissue repair in a ‘hairless’ SKH1 mouse model. Subcutaneous microvascular responses to bioactive glass microfibers (45S5, 13-93B3, and 13-93B3Cu) and bioactive glass beads (13-93, 13-93B3, and 13-93B3Cu) were assessed via: noninvasive imaging of skin microvasculature; histomorphometry of microvascular densities; and quantitative PCR measurements of mRNA expression of VEGF and FGF-2 cytokines. Live imaging via dorsal skin windows showed the formation at twoweeks of a halo-like structure infused with microvessels surrounding implanted boratebased 13-93B3 and 13-93B3Cu glass beads, a response not observed with silicate-based 13-93 glass beads. Quantitative histomorphometry of tissues implanted with plugs of 45S5, 13-93B3, and 13-93B3Cu glass microfibers revealed microvascular densities that were 1.6-, 2.3-, and 2.7-times higher, respectively, than the sham control valueswhereas 13-93, 13-93B3, and 13-93B3Cu glass beads caused the microvascular density to increase 1.3-, 1.6-, and 2.5-fold, respectively, relative to sham controls. Quantitative PCR measurements indicate a marginally significant increased expression of VEGF mRNA in tissues with 13-93B3Cu glass beads, an outcome that supported the hypothesis that copper-doped borate glass could promote VEGF expression followed by angiogenesis for enhanced wound healing.

The process of ferroptotic death is characterized by the overwhelming, iron-depending accumulation of lethal lipid ROS. Unlike other forms of apoptotic and non-apoptotic death, this requirement for ROS accumulation appears to be universal. Redox cycling is a characteristic of transition metals such as iron (Ferritin Fe3+ ⇄ Ferrous Fe2+). Iron via the Fenton reaction can exacerbate the consequences of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production, leading to the generation of hydroxyl radicals. The superoxide ion can participate in regenerating ferrous iron that is required for the Fenton reaction. An excess of iron is toxic due to its ability to engage in redox cycling and promote free radical formation. Super oxide anion generation; O2 → ・O2-. Hydrogen peroxide production; ・O2- + 2H+ + e- → H2O2. Haber-Weiss reaction; H2O2 + O2- → ・OH + OH- + O2. Fenton reaction; Fe2+ + H2O2 → Fe3+ + OH- + ・OH. Reduction to Fe(Ⅱ); Fe3+ + ・O2- → Fe2+ + O2. Ferritin is stable in iron-rich conditions, whereas it is rapidly degraded under conditions of iron starvation and ferritin degradation can be led. New blood vessel formation in angiogenesis is fundamental to tumor growth, invasion, and metastatic dissemination. Iron deficiency will lead to the dysfunction of immune system, metabolic disorders, myasthenia and anemia, whereas, excess iron also damages several vital organs. Thus, iron is essential for multiple cell functions, but is also potentially deleterious reasons of its ability to generate free oxygen radicals, iron balance by continuously recycling and reusing cellular iron, storage in ferritin, and export through ferroportin protecting cells from free iron toxicity. However. the exact molecular mechanism involved on iron imbalance in development for tumor cells and the iron overload-mediated induction of apoptosis are required to be explored in future.
