Acellular cardiac scaffolds enriched with MSC-derived extracellular vesicles limit ventricular remodelling and exert local and systemic immunomodulation in a myocardial infarction porcine model.

ABSTRACT: Rationale: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) are a potential therapy for cardiac healing after myocardial infarction (MI). Nevertheless, neither their efficient administration nor therapeutic mechanisms are fully elucidated. Here, we evaluate the preclinical efficacy of a tissue engineering approach to locally deliver porcine cardiac adipose tissue MSC-EV (cATMSC-EV) in an acute MI pig model. Methods: After MI by permanent ligation of the coronary artery, pigs (n = 24) were randomized to Untreated or treated groups with a decellularised pericardial scaffold filled with peptide hydrogel and cATMSC-EV purified by size exclusion chromatography (EV-Treated group) or buffer (Control group), placed over the post-infarcted myocardium. Results: After 30 days, cardiac MRI showed an improved cardiac function in EV-Treated animals, with significantly higher right ventricle ejection fraction (+20.8% in EV-Treated; p = 0.026), and less ventricle dilatation, indicating less myocardial remodelling. Scar size was reduced, with less fibrosis in the distal myocardium (-42.6% Col I in EV-Treated vs Untreated; p = 0.03), a 2-fold increase in vascular density (EV-Treated; p = 0.019) and less CCL2 transcription in the infarct core. EV-treated animals had less macrophage infiltration in the infarct core (-31.7% of CD163⁺ cells/field in EV-Treated; p = 0.026), but 5.8 times more expressing anti-inflammatory CD73 (p = 0.015). Systemically, locally delivered cATMSC-EV also triggered a systemic effect, doubling the circulating IL-1ra (p = 0.01), and reducing the PBMC rush 2d post-MI, the TNFα and GM-CSF levels at 30d post-MI, and modulating the CD73⁺ and CCR2⁺ monocyte populations, related to immunomodulation and fibrosis modulation. Conclusions: These results highlight the potential of cATMSC-EV in modulating hallmarks of ischemic injury for cardiac repair after MI.

Project description:Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are spontaneously released by Gram-negative bacteria, including Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, which causes contagious pleuropneumonia in pigs and leads to considerable economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. A. pleuropneumoniae OMVs have previously been demonstrated to contain Apx toxins and proteases, as well as antigenic proteins. Nevertheless, comprehensive characterizations of their contents and interactions with host immune cells have not been made. Understanding the protein compositions and immunomodulating ability of A. pleuropneumoniae OMVs could help illuminate their biological functions and facilitate the development of OMV-based applications. In the current investigation, we comprehensively characterized the proteome of native A. pleuropneumoniae OMVs. Moreover, we qualitatively and quantitatively compared the OMV proteomes of a wild-type strain and three mutant strains, in which relevant genes were disrupted to increase OMV production and/or produce OMVs devoid of superantigen PalA. Furthermore, the interaction between A. pleuropneumoniae OMVs and porcine alveolar macrophages was also characterized. Our results indicate that native OMVs spontaneously released by A. pleuropneumoniae MIDG2331 appeared to dampen the innate immune responses by porcine alveolar macrophages stimulated by either inactivated or live parent cells. The findings suggest that OMVs may play a role in manipulating the porcine defense during the initial phases of the A. pleuropneumoniae infection. IMPORTANCE Owing to their built-in adjuvanticity and antigenicity, bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are gaining increasing attention as potential vaccines for both human and animal use. OMVs released by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, an important respiratory pathogen in pigs, have also been investigated for vaccine development. Our previous studies have shown that A. pleuropneumoniae secretes OMVs containing multiple immunogenic proteins. However, immunization of pigs with these vesicles was not able to relieve the pig lung lesions induced by the challenge with A. pleuropneumoniae, implying the elusive roles that A. pleuropneumoniae OMVs play in host-pathogen interaction. Here, we showed that A. pleuropneumoniae secretes OMVs whose yield and protein content can be altered by the deletion of the nlpI and palA genes. Furthermore, we demonstrate that A. pleuropneumoniae OMVs dampen the immune responses in porcine alveolar macrophages stimulated by A. pleuropneumoniae cells, suggesting a novel mechanism that A. pleuropneumoniae might use to evade host defense.
