Induced pluripotent stem cells-derived exosomes (iPSCs-Exo) can effectively treat spinal cord injury (SCI) in mice. But the role of iPSCs-Exo in SCI mice and its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This research intended to study the effects and molecular mechanism of iPSCs-Exo in SCI mice models. The feature of iPSCs-Exo was determined by transmission electron microscope (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and western blot. The effects of iPSCs-Exo in the SCI mice model were evaluated by Basso Mouse Scale (BMS) scores and H&E staining. The roles of iPSCs-Exo and miR-199b-5p in LPS-treated BMDM were verified by immunofluorescence, RT-qPCR, and Cytokine assays. The target genes of miR-199b-5p were identified, and the function of miR-199b-5p and its target genes on LPS-treated BMDM was explored by recuse experiment. iPSCs-Exo improved motor function in SCI mice model , shifted the polarization from M1 macrophage to M2 phenotype, and regulated related inflammatory factors expression to accelerate the SCI recovery in LPS-treated BMDM . Meanwhile, miR-199b-5p was a functional player of iPSCs-Exo, which could target hepatocyte growth factor (Hgf). Moreover, miR-199b-5p overexpression polarized M1 macrophage into M2 phenotype and promoted neural regeneration in SCI. The rescue experiments confirmed that miR-199b-5p induced macrophage polarization and SCI recovery by regulating Hgf and Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathways. The miR-199b-5p-bearing iPSCs-Exo might become an effective method to treat SCI.
