Exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSC-Ex) play important roles in immune and inflammation diseases. However, the role of hUCMSC-Ex in atherosclerosis has not been elucidated. In this study, the isolated exosomes were identified by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis. Exosome marker protein levels were increased in the hUCMSC-Ex compared with those in hUCMSC suspension, indicating that exosomes were successfully isolated from hUCMSCs. Furthermore, eosinophils were treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to construct inflammation model and then incubated with hUCMSC-Ex derived from hUCMSCs which were transfected with miR-100-5p mimic or miR-100-5p inhibitor. We found that hUCMSC-Ex increased miR-100-5p expression, inhibited cell migration, promoted cell apoptosis, and reduced inflammatory cytokine levels in ox-LDL-treated eosinophils, and miR-100-5p overexpression in hUCMSCs enhanced these effects, while miR-100-5p inhibition reversed these effects. Moreover, frizzled 5 (FZD5) was a target gene of miR-100-5p. FZD5 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effects of hUCMSC-Ex-miR-100-5p on cell progression and inflammation in eosinophils. Additionally, hUCMSC-Ex-miR-100-5p decreased the expression of cyclin D1 and β-catenin proteins. Wnt/β-catenin pathway activator BML-284 effectively reversed the effects of hUCMSC-Ex-miR-100-5p on cell progression and inflammation in eosinophils. ApoE-/- mice were fed with high-fat diet to construct an atherosclerosis mice model, and hUCMSC-Ex was injected into mice. hUCMSC-Ex reduced atherosclerotic plaque area and inflammation response in atherosclerosis mice. This study demonstrates that hUCMSC-Ex-miR-100-5p inhibits cell progression and inflammatory response in eosinophils via the FZD5/Wnt/β-catenin pathway, thereby alleviating atherosclerosis progression.
人脐带间充质干细胞来源的外泌体(hUCMSC-Ex)在免疫和炎症性疾病中发挥重要作用。然而,hUCMSC-Ex 在动脉粥样硬化中的作用尚未阐明。在本研究中,通过透射电子显微镜和纳米颗粒跟踪分析鉴定分离的外泌体。与 hUCMSC 悬浮液相比,外泌体标记蛋白水平升高,表明成功地从 hUCMSCs 中分离出外泌体。此外,用氧化低密度脂蛋白(ox-LDL)处理嗜酸性粒细胞构建炎症模型,然后用转染 miR-100-5p 模拟物或 miR-100-5p 抑制剂的 hUCMSC-Ex 孵育 ox-LDL 处理的嗜酸性粒细胞。我们发现 hUCMSC-Ex 增加了 miR-100-5p 的表达,抑制了细胞迁移,促进了细胞凋亡,并降低了 ox-LDL 处理的嗜酸性粒细胞中的炎症细胞因子水平,hUCMSC 中的 miR-100-5p 过表达增强了这些作用,而 miR-100-5p 抑制则逆转了这些作用。此外,卷曲蛋白 5(FZD5)是 miR-100-5p 的靶基因。FZD5 过表达逆转了 hUCMSC-Ex-miR-100-5p 对嗜酸性粒细胞增殖和炎症的抑制作用。此外,hUCMSC-Ex-miR-100-5p 降低了 cyclin D1 和 β-catenin 蛋白的表达。Wnt/β-catenin 通路激活剂 BML-284 有效逆转了 hUCMSC-Ex-miR-100-5p 对嗜酸性粒细胞增殖和炎症的作用。载脂蛋白 E 基因敲除(ApoE-/-)小鼠用高脂饮食喂养构建动脉粥样硬化小鼠模型,并注射 hUCMSC-Ex。hUCMSC-Ex 减少了动脉粥样硬化小鼠的动脉粥样硬化斑块面积和炎症反应。本研究表明,hUCMSC-Ex-miR-100-5p 通过 FZD5/Wnt/β-catenin 通路抑制嗜酸性粒细胞的增殖和炎症反应,从而减轻动脉粥样硬化的进展。
