Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) curb important biological functions. We previously disclosed that ischemia-reperfusion (IR) induces increased release of EVs (IR-EVs) in the heart. However, the role of IR-EVs in IR pathological process remains poorly understood. Here we found that adoptive transfer of IR-EVs aggravated IR induced heart injury, and EV inhibition by GW4869 reduced the IR injury. Our in vivo and in vitro investigations substantiated that IR-EVs facilitated M1-like polarization of macrophages with increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines. Further, we disclosed the miRNA profile in cardiac EVs and confirmed the enrichment of miR-NAs, such as miR-155-5p in IR-EVs compared to EVs from the sham heart (S-EVs). In particular, IR-EVs transferred miR-155-5p to macrophages and enhanced the inflammatory response through activating JAK2/STAT1 pathway. Interestingly, IR-EVs not only boosted the local inflammation in the heart, but even triggered systemic inflammation in distant organs. Taken together, we newly identify an IR-EVs-miR-155-5p-M1 polarization axis in the heart post IR. The EVs derived from IR-injured heart contribute to both local and systemic inflammation. Importantly, EV inhibition by GW4869 is supposed to be a promising therapeutic strategy for IR injury.This publication has 61 references indexed in Scilit:
