Abstract:

Myocardial infarction is one of the most lethal diseases, and the progression of the disease often leads to the occurrence of chronic heart failure. Therefore, it is very important to explore new treatment methods for the prognosis of myocardial infarction. Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles with a diameter of 30-150 nm released from cells or tissue fluid. The vesicles carry specific DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, metabolic waste and other substances secreted by parental cells. As a potential treatment for myocardial infarction, it has long been confirmed in basic experiments. This article reviews the latest research progress of exosomes from different cells and tissues, engineered exosomes and exosome cell membrane fusion strategies in the treatment of myocardial infarction, and provides scientific evidence for the clinical application of exosomes.

Key words: myocardial infarction, exosomes, mesenchymal stem cells, fibroblasts, macrophages, membrane fusion, microRNAs
