Exosome-like nanoparticles from intestinal mucosal cells carry prostaglandin E2 and suppress activation of liver NKT cells.

ABSTRACT: Regulation and induction of anergy in NKT cells of the liver can inhibit autoimmune and antitumor responses by mechanisms that are poorly understood. We investigated the effects of PGE2, delivered by intestinal, mucus-derived, exosome-like nanoparticles (IDENs), on NKT cells in mice. In this study, we demonstrate that IDENs migrate to the liver where they induce NKT cell anergy. These effects were mediated by an IDENs' PGE2. Blocking PGE2 synthesis attenuated IDENs inhibition of induction of IFN-? and IL-4 by ?-galactosylceramide (?-GalCer)-stimulated liver NKT cells in a PGE2 E-type prostanoid 2/E-type prostanoid 4 receptor-mediated manner. Proinflammatory conditions enhanced the migration of IDENs to the liver where ?-GalCer and PGE2 induced NKT anergy in response to subsequent ?-GalCer stimulation. These findings demonstrate that IDENs carrying PGE2 can be transferred from the intestine to the liver, where they act as immune modulators, inducing an anergic-like state of NKT cells. These reagents might be developed as therapeutics for autoimmune liver diseases.

Project description:Background & aimsAfter allogeneic transplantation, murine stem cells (SCs) for interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), electrical pacemaker, and neuromodulator cells of the gut, were incorporated into gastric ICC networks, indicating in vivo immunosuppression. Immunosuppression is characteristic of bone marrow- and other non-gut-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are emerging as potential therapeutic agents against autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, we investigated whether gut-derived ICC-SCs could also mitigate experimental colitis and studied the mechanisms of ICC-SC-mediated immunosuppression in relation to MSC-induced pathways.MethodsIsolated ICC-SCs were studied by transcriptome profiling, cytokine assays, flow cytometry, mixed lymphocyte reaction, and T-cell proliferation assay. Mice with acute and chronic colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium and T-cell transfer, respectively, were administered ICC-SCs intraperitoneally and evaluated for disease activity by clinical and pathological assessment and for ICC-SC homing by live imaging.ResultsUnlike strain-matched dermal fibroblasts, intraperitoneally administered ICC-SCs preferentially homed to the colon and reduced the severity of both acute and chronic colitis assessed by clinical and blind pathological scoring. ICC-SCs profoundly suppressed T-cell proliferation in vitro. Similar to MSCs, ICC-SCs strongly expressed cyclooxygenase 1/2 and basally secreted prostaglandin E2. Indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, countered the ICC-SC-mediated suppression of T-cell proliferation. In contrast, we found no role for regulatory T-cell-, programmed death receptor-, and transforming growth factor-β-mediated mechanisms reported in MSCs; and transcriptome profiling did not support a relationship between ICC-SCs and MSCs.ConclusionsMurine ICC-SCs belong to a class different from MSCs and potently mitigate experimental colitis via prostaglandin E2-mediated immunosuppression.
