Plasma-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles From VKH Patients Suppress T Cell Proliferation Via MicroRNA-410-3p Modulation of CXCL5 Axis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Circulating exosomes regulate immune responses and induce immune tolerance in immune-mediated diseases. This study aimed to investigate the role of circulating small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome, in T-cell responses.

Methods

The sEVs were isolated from the plasma of healthy controls, patients with VKH, and other uveitis patients. The effects of autologous and allogeneic sEVs on the proliferation of circulating CD4+ T cells were evaluated. Microarray analysis of sEVs was performed to determine their differential miRNA expression profiles. The target genes of the candidate miRNA were predicted and verified. The role of both the candidate miRNA and target genes in T-cell proliferation was tested.
