Exosomes Released by Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Attenuate Lung Injury Induced by Intestinal Ischemia Reperfusion via the TLR4/NF-?B Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a primary component of multiple organ dysfunction syndromes triggered by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IIR) which results in high mortality. Existing treatment options remain unsatisfactory. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown considerable promise as a biological therapy for ALI in preclinical studies. However, there are many limitations to stem cell treatment. This study aimed to investigate whether MSC-derived exosomes, a non-cellular alternative, are able to act in a protective capacity similar to that of MSCs for ALI triggered by IIR in a rat model and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods: The IIR model involved occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery of a rat for 75 min then reperfusion for 20 h. Rats then received an intravenous injection of either bone marrow-derived MSCs or MSC-derived exosomes. Pathologic alteration of lung tissue, levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, apoptotic proteins and TLR4/NF-?B signaling were measured to evaluate the therapeutic effect of treatment with either MSCs or exosomes. Results: Manifestations of acute lung injury after IIR were observed as edema and hemorrhage of alveoli and mesenchyme, and inflammatory cell infiltration. MSCs and MSC-derived exosomes both attenuated IIR-induced lung damage by decreased apoptosis and inflammation accompanied by down-regulation of TLR4 and NF-?B expression. Conclusions: MSC-derived exosomes provide protection similar to that of MSCs against IIR-induced ALI via inhibition of TLR4/NF-?B signaling, suggesting that a potential strategy against IIR-mediated acute lung injury could be therapy with exosomes as a non-cellular alternative to MSC transplantation.

Project description:BackgroundSteatotic livers tolerate ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) poorly, increasing the risk of organ dysfunction. Ferroptosis is considered the initiating factor of organ IRI. Heme oxygenase oxygen-1 (HO-1)-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) (HO-1/BMMSCs) can reduce hepatic IRI; however, the role of ferroptosis in IRI of steatotic grafts and the effect of HO-1/BMMSCs-derived exosomes (HM-exos) on ferroptosis remain unknown.MethodsA model of rat liver transplantation (LT) with a severe steatotic donor liver and a model of hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R) of steatotic hepatocytes were established. Exosomes were obtained by differential centrifugation, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in liver after HM-exo treatment were detected using RNA sequencing. The expression of ferroptosis markers was analyzed. microRNA (miRNA) sequencing was used to analyze the miRNA profiles in HM-exos.ResultsWe verified the effect of a candidate miRNA on ferroptosis of H/R treated hepatocytes, and observed the effect of exosomes knockout of the candidate miRNA on hepatocytes ferroptosis. In vitro, HM-exo treatment reduced the IRI in steatotic grafts, and enrichment analysis of DEGs suggested that HM-exos were involved in the regulation of the ferroptosis pathway. In vitro, inhibition of ferroptosis by HM-exos reduced hepatocyte injury. HM-exos contained more abundant miR-124-3p, which reduced ferroptosis of H/R-treated cells by inhibiting prostate six transmembrane epithelial antigen 3 (STEAP3), while overexpression of Steap3 reversed the effect of mir-124-3p. In addition, HM-exos from cell knocked out for miR-124-3p showed a weakened inhibitory effect on ferroptosis. Similarly, HM-exo treatment increased the content of miR-124-3p in grafts, while decreasing the level of STEAP3 and reducing the degree of hepatic ferroptosis.ConclusionFerroptosis is involved in the IRI during LT with a severe steatotic donor liver. miR-124-3p in HM-exos downregulates Steap3 expression to inhibit ferroptosis, thereby attenuating graft IRI, which might be a promising strategy to treat IRI in steatotic grafts.

Project description:TLR4/NF-ÎºB signaling plays a central mediator in response to danger signals released in the muscle ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). This study was designed to profile TLR4/NF-ÎºB-responsive microRNAs (miRNAs) in the skeletal muscles following IRI. Following 2 h of ischemia and subsequent reperfusion for indicated times (0 h, 4 h, 1 d, and 7 d) of the isolated thigh skeletal muscles based on femoral artery perfusion of C57BL/6, Tlr4â/â, and NF-ÎºBâ/âmice, the muscle specimens were analyzed with an miRNA array to detect the TLR4/NF-ÎºB-responsive miRNAs. Male C57BL/6 mice (10â12 weeks of age, 22â35 g) were purchased from BioLasco (Taiwan). Tlr4â/â (C57BL/10ScNJ) and NF-ÎºBâ/â (B6.Cg-Nfkb1tm1Bal/J) mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA). All housing conditions were established and surgical procedures, analgesia, and assessments were performed in an AAALAC-accredited, SPF facility following national and institutional guidelines. Animal protocols were approved by the IACUC of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Mice were anesthetized with an anesthetic cocktail consisting of 0.1 mg/g ketamine and 0.01 mg/g xylazine, given as an intraperitoneal injection (0.01 ml/g body weight). After the induction of anesthesia, the mice were restrained in a supine position on a heating pad to maintain body temperature at 37Â°C. The quadriceps muscle perfused based on the femoral artery of the mouse was carefully isolated away from the femoral bone and the underlying adductor muscle group. In the ischemic group, ischemia was induced by placing a microvascular clamp carefully across the proximal site of vascular pedicle for 2 h and then the microvascular clamp was removed. Good vascular inflow and outflow through the pedicle was verified under direct magnified vision. In the sham-operated control group, the muscle was isolated without microvascular clamp being applied. The incision wound was closed with interrupted sutures (4-0 nylon) and the animals were allowed to awaken in the remaining periods of reperfusion. The harvested muscles were frozen in isopentane chilled in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80Â°C. For the miRNA array experiments, the isolated skeletal muscles of C57BL/6 mice after 2 h of ischemia and 0 h, 4 h, 1 d, and 7 d of reperfusion as well as of Tlr4â/âand NF-ÎºBâ/â mice after 2 h of ischemia and 1 d of reperfusion were used in 3 replicate experiments.
