https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Beta-Sitosterol.html MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a pivotal role in cancer biology. Therefore, tumor suppressor (TS) miRNAs are an attractive target for cancer therapy. However, clinical trials have failed due to the difficulties in miRNA delivery, warranting the development of a novel drug delivery system (DDS). Exosomes are stable in circulation and selectively picked up by cancer cells, indicating that they can serve as a miRNA carrier. The aim of this study was to explore the possibility of exosomes as a carrier for miRNA replacement therapy for ovarian cancer (OC). First, exosomes were purified from primary-cultured omental fibroblasts of OC patients. miR-199a-3p was selected as a TS miRNA, and the synthesized miR-199a-3p was loaded into exosomes by electroporation. Treatment with miR199a-3p-loaded-exosomes (miR-199a-3p-Exo) drastically increased miR-199a-3p expression level in OC cell lines (CaOV3; 8592-, SKOV3; 67188-, and OVCAR3; 2280-fold). miR-199a-3p-Exo suppressed c-Met expression, a direct target of miR-199a-3p, and thereby inhibited cell proliferation and invasion. In a xenograft study, miR-199a-3p-Exo also drastically inhibited peritoneal dissemination in OC mice model, and diminished c-Met expression, ERK phosphorylation, and MMP2 expression in tumors. These results suggest that miRNA replacement therapy using exosomes shows promise for treatment of OC. Given that omental fibroblasts can be obtained from most OC patients, patient-derived exosomes can be utilized as a DDS for future molecular-targeted therapies.Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a major health-related problem with high incidence and mortality rates. Oxidative stress plays an important role in myocardial ischemia injury and further leads to myocardial remodeling. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a member of the fibroblast growth factors that regulate a variety of biological functions. However the function of bFGF in myocardial infarction is still
