Human amniotic fluid stem cells (hAFS) have shown a distinct secretory profile and significant regenerative potential in several preclinical models of disease. Nevertheless, little is known about the detailed characterization of their secretome. Herein we show for the first time that hAFS actively release extracellular vesicles (EV) endowed with significant paracrine potential and regenerative effect. c-KIT hAFS were isolated from leftover samples of amniotic fluid from prenatal screening and stimulated to enhance EV release (24 hours 20% O versus 1% O preconditioning). The capacity of the c-KIT hAFS-derived EV (hAFS-EV) to induce proliferation, survival, immunomodulation, and angiogenesis were investigated in vitro and in vivo. The hAFS-EV regenerative potential was also assessed in a model of skeletal muscle atrophy (HSA-Cre, Smn mice), in which mouse AFS transplantation was previously shown to enhance muscle strength and survival. hAFS secreted EV ranged from 50 up to 1,000 nm in size. In vitro analysis defined their role as biological mediators of regenerative, paracrine effects while their modulatory role in decreasing skeletal muscle inflammation in vivo was shown for the first time. Hypoxic preconditioning significantly induced the enrichment of exosomes endowed with regenerative microRNAs within the hAFS-EV. In conclusion, this is the first study showing that c-KIT hAFS dynamically release EV endowed with remarkable paracrine potential, thus representing an appealing tool for future regenerative therapy.

人羊水干细胞(hAFS)在几种疾病的临床前模型中表现出独特的分泌谱和显著的再生潜力。然而,人们对其分泌组的详细特征知之甚少。本文首次表明,hAFS 可主动释放具有显著旁分泌潜能和再生作用的细胞外囊泡(EV)。从产前筛查中遗留的羊水样本中分离出 c-KIT hAFS,并刺激其增强 EV 释放(24 小时 20% O 与 1% O 预处理)。研究了 c-KIT hAFS 衍生的 EV(hAFS-EV)在体外和体内诱导增殖、存活、免疫调节和血管生成的能力。还在骨骼肌萎缩模型(HSA-Cre、Smn 小鼠)中评估了 hAFS-EV 的再生潜力,先前的研究表明,小鼠 AFS 移植可增强肌肉力量和存活。hAFS 分泌的 EV 大小在 50 到 1000nm 之间。体外分析定义了它们作为再生、旁分泌作用的生物介质的作用,而它们在体内减少骨骼肌炎症的调节作用则是首次被证明。低氧预处理显著诱导了富含再生 microRNA 的外泌体在 hAFS-EV 中的富集。总之,这是第一项表明 c-KIT hAFS 动态释放具有显著旁分泌潜能的 EV 的研究,因此代表了未来再生治疗的一种有吸引力的工具。《干细胞转化医学》2017;6:1340-1355。
