Small Extracellular Vesicles from Inflamed Adipose Derived Stromal Cells Enhance the NF-κB-Dependent Inflammatory/Catabolic Environment of Osteoarthritis by Carola Cavallo, Giulia Merli, Nicoletta Zini, Stefania D’Adamo, Luca Cattini, Michele Guescini, Brunella Grigolo, Alessandro Di Martino, Spartaco Santi, Rosa Maria Borzì, Giuseppe Filardo

“…To mimic this condition, we exposed ADSC to IL-1β, and then we investigated the effects of the isolated sEVs on chondrocytes and synoviocytes, either cultured separately or in co-culture, to tease out the effects of these “IL-1β primed sEVs” on gene and protein expression of major inflammatory and catabolic OA markers. In comparison with sEVs isolated from unstimulated ADSC, the IL-1β primed sEVs were able to propagate NF-κB activation in bystander joint cells. …”

Polydatin-Induced Shift of Redox Balance and Its Anti-Cancer Impact on Human Osteosarcoma Cells by Alessio Cimmino, Magda Gioia, Maria Elisabetta Clementi, Isabella Faraoni, Stefano Marini, Chiara Ciaccio

“…Using cell-based biochemical assays, we found that cytotoxic doses of PD (100–200 µM) promote ROS production, deplete glutathione (GSH), and elevate levels of both total iron and intracellular malondialdehyde (MDA), which are key markers of ferroptosis. Notably, the ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) partially reverse PD’s cytotoxic effects. …”

Silencing hepatic PCSK9 via novel chimeric AAV8 mitigates the progression of atherosclerosis by inhibiting inflammation in ApoE−/− mice by Xiaocui Chen, Minghui Sun, Xiang Ma, Yitong Ma, Bangdang Chen

“…Importantly, silencing PCSK9 resulted in reduced plaque areas with enhanced stability, decreased inflammatory macrophage infiltration, and lower levels of vascular and systemic inflammatory markers. These findings indicate that targeted silencing of hepatic PCSK9 significantly reduces lipid levels and effectively mitigates atherosclerosis progression by inhibiting inflammatory responses via the AAV8.P-PCSK9 shRNA vector, thereby providing critical support for its clinical translation.…”
