ABSTRACT: Background
Exosomes, microvesicles, carry and release several vital molecules across cells, tissues, and organs. Epicardial adipose tissue exosomes are critical in the development and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). It is hypothesized that exosomes may transport causative molecules from inflamed tissue and deliver to the target tissue and progress CAD. Thus, identifying and inhibiting the CAD-associated proteins that are being transported to other cells via exosomes will help slow the progression of CAD.Methods
This study uses a systems biological approach that integrates differential gene expression in the CAD, exosomal cargo assessment, protein network construction, and functional enrichment to identify the crucial exosomal cargo protein target. Meanwhile, a
