The effects of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC EVs) on multidrug-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-PA)-induced pneumonia remain unclear.
MicroRNA array and RT-PCR were used to select the major microRNA in MSC EVs. Human peripheral blood monocytes were obtained and isolated from qualified patients. The crosstalk between MSCs/MSC EVs and macrophages in vitro was studied. MDR-PA pneumonia models were further established in C57BL/6 mice and MSC EVs or miR-466 overexpressing MSC EVs were intratracheally instilled.
MiR-466 was highly expressed in MSC EVs. MSCs and miR-466 promoted macrophage polarization toward Type 2 phenotype through TIRAP-MyD88-NFκB axis. Moreover, cocultured macrophages with miR-466 overexpressing MSCs significantly increased the phagocytosis of macrophages. MSC EVs significantly reduced mortality and decreased influx of BALF neutrophils, proinflammatory factor levels, protein, and bacterial load in murine MDR-PA pneumonia. Administration of miR-466 overexpressing MSC EVs further alleviated the inflammatory severity.
MSC-derived EVs containing high levels of miR-466 may partly participate in host immune responses to MDR-PA. Both MSCs and MSC EVs have therapeutic effects in treating MDR-PA-induced pneumonia.
间充质基质细胞(MSCs)和 MSC 衍生的细胞外囊泡(MSC EVs)对多重耐药铜绿假单胞菌(MDR-PA)诱导性肺炎的影响尚不清楚。
采用 microRNA 阵列和 RT-PCR 从合格患者中选择 MSC EVs 中的主要 microRNA。从合格患者中获得并分离人外周血单核细胞。研究了 MSC/MSC EVs 与体外巨噬细胞之间的串扰。进一步在 C57BL/6 小鼠中建立 MDR-PA 肺炎模型,并经气管内滴注 MSC EVs 或 miR-466 过表达 MSC EVs。
miR-466 在 MSC EVs 中高表达。MSCs 和 miR-466 通过 TIRAP-MyD88-NFκB 轴促进巨噬细胞向 2 型表型极化。此外,与过表达 miR-466 的 MSCs 共培养的巨噬细胞明显增加了巨噬细胞的吞噬作用。MSC EVs 可显著降低 MDR-PA 肺炎小鼠的死亡率,减少 BALF 中性粒细胞、促炎因子水平、蛋白和细菌负荷的流入。给予 miR-466 过表达 MSC EVs 可进一步减轻炎症严重程度。
含有高水平 miR-466 的 MSC 衍生 EVs 可能部分参与宿主对 MDR-PA 的免疫反应。MSCs 和 MSC EVs 对治疗 MDR-PA 诱导性肺炎均具有治疗作用。
