Exosomes Secreted by Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Following FK506 Stimulation Reduce Autophagy of Macrophages in Spine after Nerve Crush Injury

Macrophages emerge in the milieu around innervated neurons after nerve injuries. Following nerve injury, autophagy is induced in macrophages and affects the regulation of inflammatory responses. It is closely linked to neuroinflammation, while the immunosuppressive drug tacrolimus (FK506) enhances n...

Sumario:Macrophages emerge in the milieu around innervated neurons after nerve injuries. Following nerve injury, autophagy is induced in macrophages and affects the regulation of inflammatory responses. It is closely linked to neuroinflammation, while the immunosuppressive drug tacrolimus (FK506) enhances nerve regeneration following nerve crush injury and nerve allotransplantation with additional neuroprotective and neurotrophic functions. The combined use of FK506 and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) was employed in cell therapy for organ transplantation and vascularized composite allotransplantation. This study aimed to investigate the topical application of exosomes secreted by ADSCs following FK506 treatment (ADSC-F-exo) to the injured nerve in a mouse model of sciatic nerve crush injury. Furthermore, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) were used to profile the potential exosomal proteins involved in autophagy. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that nerve crush injuries significantly induced autophagy in the dorsal root ganglia and dorsal horn of the spinal segments. Locally applied ADSC-F-exo significantly reduced autophagy of macrophages in the spinal segments after nerve crush injury. Proteomic analysis showed that of the 22 abundant exosomal proteins detected in ADSC-F-exo, heat shock protein family A member 8 (HSPA8) and eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 (EEF1A1) are involved in exosome-mediated autophagy reduction.
