“…Macrophages can be divided into activated macrophages (M1 phenotype) and alternatively activated macrophages (M2 phenotype). [ 45 ] The transformation of pro‐inflammatory M1 macrophages into reparative M2 macrophages is a key step in promoting wound healing, leading to the regression of inflammation and the promotion of tissue repair. CD86, the main synergistic factor that induces T lymphocyte proliferation and interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) production, is a characteristic marker of M1 macrophages.…”

Post‐injury infection and wound healing are recurrent daily life problems. Therefore, the necessity of developing a biomaterial with antibacterial and wound‐healing properties is paramount. Based on the special porous structure of hydrogel, this work modifies recombinant collagen and quaternary ammonium chitosan and fused them with silver nanoparticles (Ag@mental‐organic framework (Ag@MOF)) with antibacterial properties, and asiaticoside‐loaded liposomes (Lip@AS) with anti‐inflammatory/vascularization effects to form the rColMA/QCSG/LIP@AS/Ag@MOF (RQLAg) hydrogel. The prepared hydrogel possesses good sustainable release capabilities of Ag+ and AS and exhibits concentration‐dependent swelling properties, pore size, and compressive strength. Cellular experiments show that the hydrogel exhibit good cell compatibility and promote cell migration, angiogenesis, and M1 macrophage polarization. Additionally, the hydrogels exhibit excellent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. In vivo, Sprague Dawley rats burn‐wound infection model showed that the RQLAg hydrogel could efficiently promote wound healing and has stronger healing promoting abilities than those of Aquacel Ag. In summary, the RQLAg hydrogel is expected to be an excellent material for accelerating open wound healing and preventing bacterial infections.

Rapid endothelialization still remains challenging for blood-contacting biomaterials, especially for long-term, functional, small-diameter vascular grafts. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mimicking QK peptide holds great promise in promoting vascular endothelial cellular activities such as adhesion, spreading, proliferation, and migration. Syndecans are transmembrane proteoglycans that are highly expressed on cell surfaces, including vascular endothelial cells, which can act as docking receptors to provide binding sites for a variety of cellular growth and signaling molecules. Herein, a novel peptide QK-AG73 that coupled the QK domain with the syndecan binding peptide AG73 was proposed, aiming to synergistically enhance the interaction with vascular endothelial cells. In addition, mechanically matched bioactive scaffolds based on poly(L-lactide-co-εcaprolactone) were successfully prepared by surface functionalization of the covalently combined QK-AG73 peptide. The result showed that the adhesion of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was increased by approximately 2-fold on QK-AG73-modified surface compared with those modified with a single QK or AG73 peptide. Moreover, surface functionalization of electrospun scaffolds by this QK-AG73 peptide was more efficient in specifically promoting the proliferation of HUVECs and allowing them to grow with an elongated cobblestone-like cell morphology. It was hypothesized that both VEGF receptors and transmembrane syndecan receptors were involved in cellular regulation by the QK-AG73 peptide, which resulted in synergistic improvement of the interactions with vascular endothelial cells and provided a promising strategy to promote endothelialization of small-diameter vascular grafts.

“…Vascular injury, caused by blood flow shear stress, inflammation and fibrosis, is the pathological foundation and causes of multi-cardiovascular diseases. Meanwhile, vascular injury usually occurs after the surgery of arterial occlusive disease, such as carotid endarterectomy, balloon dilatation surgeries and so on [ 12 , 13 ]. The regeneration of injured vascular is a complex but orderly process.…”

“…These systems have obvious advantages for systematic delivery of drugs in cardiovascular diseases, e.g. membrane encapsulating drugs at nanoscale can protect them from immune system and increase drug delivery efficiency with low toxicity [ 13 , 70 ]. Due to different cell-derived EVs playing distinct roles in the process of vascular regeneration, it is important to select suitable EV systems for the therapy of vascular injured diseases.…”

The progression of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction leads to serious vascular injury, highlighting the urgent need for targeted regenerative therapy. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) composed of a lipid bilayer containing nuclear and cytosolic materials are relevant to the progression of cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, EVs from multiple cells will deliver bioactive cargo in pathological cardiovascular and regulate the biological function of recipient cells, such as inflammation, proliferation, angiogenesis, and polarization. However, because the targeting and bioactivity of natural EVs are subject to several limitations, bioengineered EVs have achieved wide advancements in biomedicine. Bioengineered EVs involve three main ways to acquire including 1) Modification of the EVs after isolation; 2) Modification of producer cells before EVs’ isolation; 3) Synthesize EVs using natural or modified cell membranes, and encapsulating drugs or bioactive molecules into EVs. In this review, we firstly summarize the cardiovascular injury-related disease and describe the role of different cells and EVs in vascular regeneration. We also discuss the application of bioengineered EVs from different producer cells to cardiovascular diseases. Finally, we summarize the molecular that can be modified in EVs to specifically target abnormal cells in injured vascular.
