摘要: 目的 研究心脏祖细胞来源的外泌体(CPCs-Exos)对心肌梗死(MI)小鼠调节性T细胞(Treg)分化的影响及其作用机制。方法 结扎小鼠左冠状动脉前降支制备MI动物模型。所有小鼠随机分成3组,即对照组(只开胸,不结扎)、MI组(结扎左冠状动脉前降支)和CPCs-Exos组(结扎左冠状动脉前降支后尾静脉注射CPCs-Exos)。收集小鼠血清与心脏组织,流式细胞术与全自动生化仪检测Treg细胞、CD4+IL-10+T细胞百分比及LDH、CK-MB含量,TTC染色检测小鼠心肌梗死面积。收集小鼠脾脏naive CD4+T细胞,并将细胞分成对照组、CD4+T细胞活化组(CD3+CD28)、CPCs-Exos处理活化CD4+T细胞组(CD3+CD28+CPCs-Exos)、mTOR 激活剂(CD3 + CD28 + CPCs- Exos + mTOR activator)与抑制剂组(CD3 + CD28 + CPCs- Exos + mTORinhibitor)。Western blotting法检测细胞中mTOR、p-mTOR表达水平,流式细胞术检测Treg、CD4+IL-10+T细胞百分比。结果 整体动物实验结果显示,与对照组相比,MI组小鼠心肌梗死面积显著增加,血清中CK-MB(P=0.0002)、LDH(P<0.001)显著增多,Treg、CD4+IL-10+T细胞有增加趋势。与MI组相比,CPCs-Exos组小鼠梗死面积降低,CK-MB(P=0.003)、LDH(P=0.003)含量减少,Treg 细胞(P=0.001)、CD4+IL-10+T(P=0.004)细胞百分比显著增加。离体细胞水平结果显示,与Control组相比,CD3+CD28组Treg细胞(P=0.03)、CD4+IL-10+T细胞百分比(P=0.004),mTOR(P=0.04)、p-mTOR(P=0.04)表达水平有增加趋势;与 CD3+CD28 组相比,CD3+CD28+CPCs-Exos 组 Treg 细胞(P=0.01)、CD4 +IL-10+T 细胞百分比(P=0.004),mTOR(P=0.009)、p-mTOR(P=0.009)表达水平显著增加。与CD3+CD28+CPCs-Exos组相比,CD3+CD28+CPCs-Exos+mTOR activator组Treg细胞(P=0.04)、CD4+IL-10+T细胞(P=0.01)百分比显著增加,而CD3+CD28+CPCs-Exos+mTOR inhibitor组Treg细胞(P=0.04)、CD4+IL-10+T细胞百分比(P=0.04)显著降低。结论 CPCs-Exos能够诱导Treg细胞分化,其机制与mTOR途径有关。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of cardiac progenitor cells-derived exosomes (CPCs-Exo) on Treg differentiation in mice with myocardial infarction (MI). Methods Mouse models of MI established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) were treated with CPCs-Exos, and naive CD4+ T cells were isolated from the spleen of the mice and divided into control group, CD4+T cell activation group (CD3+CD28), CPCs-Exos stimulation group (CD3+CD28+CPCs-Exos), mTOR activator group (CD3+CD28+CPCs-Exos+mTOR activator) and mTOR inhibitor group (CD3+CD28+CPCs-Exos+mTOR inhibitor). Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of mTOR and p-mTOR in the treated cells. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the percentages of Treg and CD4+ IL-10+ T cells. The infarct size of the mice were measured with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazole chloride (TTC) staining, and serum levels of LDH and CK-MB were detected using an automatic biochemical analyzer. Results Compared with the control group, the mouse models of MI showed significantly increased release of LDH (P<0.001) and CK-MB (P=0.0002) and increased percentages of Treg and CD4+ IL-10+ T cells. Treatment with CPC-Exos effectively reduced the MI area and lowered serum levels of LDH (P=0.003) and CK-MB (P=0.003) and the percentages of Tregs (P=0.001) and CD4+ IL-10+ T cells (P=0.004) in the MI mouse models. In the isolated CD4+ T cells, CPCs-Exos treatment significantly up-regulated the percentages of Treg (P=0.01) and CD4+IL-10+ T cells (P=0.004) and increased the expression of mTOR (P=0.009) and p-mTOR (P=0.009), and these effects could be further enhanced by the mTOR activator but obviously attenuated by the mTOR inhibitor. Conclusion CPCs-Exos promotes the differentiation of Treg in mice with MI by modulating the mTOR signaling pathway.
