Abstract

ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been reported to exert therapeutic effects on immunoregulation, tissue repair, and regeneration from the bench to the bedside. Increasing evidence demonstrates that extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from MSCs could contribute to these effects and are considered as a potential replacement for stem cell‐based therapies. However, the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of EV‐based treatment in hepatic ischemia‐reperfusion injury (IRI) remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that human umbilical cord MSC‐EVs (huc‐MSC‐EVs) could protect against IRI‐induced hepatic apoptosis by reducing the infiltration of neutrophils and alleviating oxidative stress in hepatic tissue in vivo . Meanwhile, huc‐MSC‐EVs reduced the respiratory burst of neutrophils and prevented hepatocytes from oxidative stress‐induced cell death in vitro . Interestingly, we found that the mitochondria‐located antioxidant enzyme, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), was encapsulated in huc‐MSC‐EVs and reduced oxidative stress in the hepatic IRI model. Knockdown of MnSOD in huc‐MSCs decreased the level of MnSOD in huc‐MSC‐EVs and attenuated the antiapoptotic and antioxidant capacities of huc‐MSC‐EVs, which could be partially rescued by MnSOD mimetic manganese (III) 5, 10, 15, 20‐tetrakis (4‐benzoic acid) porphyrin (MnTBAP). In summary, these findings provide new clues to reveal the therapeutic effects of huc‐MSC‐EVs on hepatic IRI and evaluate their preclinical application.—Yao, J., Zheng, J., Cai, J., Zeng, K., Zhou, C., Zhang, J., Li, S., Li, H., Chen, L., He, L., Chen, H., Fu, H., Zhang, Q., Chen, G., Yang, Y., Zhang, Y.
