摘要
Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is characterised by an uncontrolled inflammatory response, and current treatment strategies have limited efficacy. Although the protective effect of M2-like macrophages (M2φ) and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) has been well-documented in other inflammatory diseases, the role of M2φ-derived EVs (M2φ-EVs) in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS remains poorly understood. The present study utilised a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI to first demonstrate a decrease in endogenous M2-like alveolar macrophage-derived EVs. And then, intratracheal instillation of exogenous M2φ-EVs from the mouse alveolar macrophage cell line (MH-S) primarily led to a take up by alveolar macrophages, resulting in reduced lung inflammation and injury. Mechanistically, the M2φ-EVs effectively suppressed the pyroptosis of alveolar macrophages and inhibited the release of excessive cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β both in vivo and in vitro, which were closely related to NF-κB/NLRP3 signalling pathway inhibition. Of note, the protective effect of M2φ-EVs was partly mediated by miR-709, as evidenced by the inhibition of miR-709 expression in M2φ-EVs mitigated their protective effect against lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI in mice. In addition, we found that the expression of miR-709 in EVs derived from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was correlated negatively with disease severity in ARDS patients, indicating its potential as a marker for ARDS severity. Altogether, our study revealed that M2φ-EVs played a protective role in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS, partly mediated by miR-709, offering a potential strategy for assessing disease severity and treating ALI/ARDS.
