Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are suggested to promote angiogenesis in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aimed to explore the underlying mechanism of BMSCs-EVs in AMI-induced heart failure (HF). BMSCs were isolated and verified, and EVs were purified and identified. After establishment of AMI-induced HF models, rats were treated with BMSCs-EVs and/or overexpressing (ov)/knocking down (kd) bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2). Cardiac function, myocardial histopathological changes, angiogenesis, and vascular regeneration density were measured. Levels of pro-angiogenesis factors and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were detected. The viability and angiogenesis of hypoxic human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were measured. After BMSCs-EV treatment, the cardiac function of HF rats was improved, myocardial fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration were decreased, angiogenesis was increased, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis was inhibited. BMP2 was significantly upregulated in the myocardium. Ov-BMP2-BMSCs-EVs alleviated myocardial fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration, and promoted angiogenesis of HF rats, and improved the activity and angiogenesis of hypoxic HUVECs, while kd-BMP2-BMSCs-EVs showed limited protection against AMI-induced HF. BMSCs-EVs deliver BMP2 to promote angiogenesis and improve cardiac function of HF rats.
