Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSC-sEVs) are known to exert immunosuppressive functions. This study showed that MSC-sEVs specifically convert T helper 17 (Th17) cells into IL-17 low-producer (ex-Th17) cells by degrading RAR-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) at the protein level. In experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE)-induced mice, treatment with MSC-sEVs was found to not only ameliorate clinical symptoms but also to reduce the number of Th17 cells in draining lymph nodes and the central nervous system. MSC-sEVs were found to destabilize RORγt by K63 deubiquitination and deacetylation, which was attributed to the EP300-interacting inhibitor of differentiation 3 (Eid3) contained in the MSC-sEVs. Small extracellular vesicles isolated from the Eid3 knockdown MSCs by Eid3-shRNA failed to downregulate RORγt. Moreover, forced expression of Eid3 by gene transfection was found to significantly decrease the protein level of RORγt in Th17 cells. Altogether, this study reveals the novel immunosuppressive mechanisms of MSC-sEVs, which suggests the feasibility of MSC-sEVs as an attractive therapeutic tool for curing Th17-mediated inflammatory diseases.
