摘要：To inhibit the immune inflammation in the allografts can be beneficial to organ transplantation. This study aims to induce the donor antigen specific regulatory T cells (Treg cell) inhibit the immune inflammation in the allograft heart. In this study, peripheral exosomes were purified from the mouse serum. A heart transplantation mouse model was developed. The immune inflammation of the allograft heart was assessed by histology and flow cytometry. The results showed that the donor antigen-specific T helper (Th)2 pattern inflammation was observed in the allograft hearts; the inflammation was inhibited by immunizing the recipient mice with the donor-derived exosomes. Purified peripheral exosomes contained integrin MMP1a; the latter induced CD4⁺ T cells to express Fork head protein-3 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β via inhibiting the Th2 transcription factor, GATA binding protein 3, in CD4⁺ T cells. Administration with the donor-derived exosomes significantly prolonged the allograft heart survival. We conclude that the donor-derived peripheral exosomes have the capacity to inhibit the immune inflammation in the allograft heart via inducing specific Treg cells, implicating that administration with the donor-derived exosomes may be beneficial to cardiac transplantation.
