Mesenchymal Stromal Cell-Derived Exosomes Attenuate Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury through miR-182-Regulated Macrophage Polarization

ABSTRACT: Aims: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) gradually become attractive candidates for cardiac inflammation modulation, yet understanding of the mechanism remains elusive. Strikingly, recent studies indicated that exosomes secreted by MSCs might be a novel mechanism for the beneficial effect of MSCs transplantation after myocardial infarction. We therefore explored the role of MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) in the immunomodulation of macrophages after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and its implications in cardiac injury repair. Methods and Results: Exosomes were isolated from the supernatant of MSCs using a gradient centrifugation method. Administration of MSC-Exo through intramyocardial injection after myocardial ischemia reperfusion reduced infarct size and alleviated inflammation level in heart and serum. Systemic depletion of macrophages with clodronate liposomes abolished the curative effects of MSC-Exo. MSC-Exo modified the polarization of M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages both in vivo and in vitro. miRNA-sequencing of MSC-Exo and bioinformatics analysis implicated miR-182 as a potent candidate mediator of macrophage polarization and TLR4 as a downstream target. Diminishing miR-182 in MSC-Exo partially attenuated its modulation of macrophage polarization. Likewise, knock down of TLR4 also conferred cardioprotective efficacy and reduced inflammation level in a mouse model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. Conclusion: Our data indicates that MSC-Exo attenuates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury via shuttling miR-182 that modifies the polarization state of macrophages. This study sheds new light on the application of MSC-Exo a potential therapeutic tool for myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Project description:Rationale and Objectives: Cellular therapies are hampered by poor survival and growth of grafts. We recently showed that the survival and repairing capacity of transplanted adult cells may be improved by co-expression of the anti-senescence telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and anti-apoptotic myocardin (MYOCD). The current study aimed at testing whether forced co-expression of TERT and MYOCD improves post-infarct revascularization and tissue repair by adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AT-MSCs). Methods: We transplanted AT-MSCs engineered to overexpress MYOCD and TERT in a murine model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We analyzed the immunoregulatory properties of AT-MSCs on post-AMI. We characterized in vitro and in vivo paracrine effects of AT-MSCs and their interactions with murine cardiospheres (CSps), all as parts of their reparative repertoire. Results: When transplanted into infarcted hearts of C57BL/6 mice, “rejuvenated” AT-MSCs overexpressing TERT and MYOCD (rAT-MSCs) decreased fibrosis and the intrafibrotic CD3 and B220 lymphocyte infiltration, and increased arteriolar density as well as ejection fraction compared with saline or mock-transduced AT-MSCs. These effects were accompanied by increased numbers of Ki-67+ and CD117+ cells, and the expression of cardiac actin and β-myosin heavy chain within the infarcted hearts. Both rAT-MSCs and their conditioned medium (CM) stimulated intracellular Ca2+ flux in CSps. CSp-derived cells had increased survival when preconditioned with CM or exosome-enriched fraction (Exo+) from rAT-MSCs and then exposed to simulated ischemia/reperfusion. Proteomic analysis of rAT-MSCs-Exo+ predicted the activation of vascular development and the inhibition of immune cell trafficking. Elevated concentration of miR-320a, miR-150-5p and miR-126-3p associated with regulation of apoptosis and vasculogenesis was confirmed in rAT-MSCs-Exo+. Conclusions: rAT-MSCs promote vasculogenesis and cell survival and reduce post-AMI inflammatory responses in a murine model of AMI. An integrated experimental and computational analysis revealed that Exo+ is the active component of the paracrine secretion by rAT-MSCs, with pro-angiogenic and pro-survival activities.
