Priming Mesenchymal Stem Cells with Lipopolysaccharide Boosts the Immunomodulatory and Regenerative Activity of Secreted Extracellular Vesicles.

ABSTRACT: Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been proposed as an alternative to live-cell administration for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). MSC-EVs can be chiefly influenced by the environment to which the MSCs are exposed. Here, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) priming of MSCs was used as a strategy to boost the natural therapeutic potential of the EVs in acute lung injury (ALI). Methods: The regenerative and immunemodulatory effect of LPS-primed MSC-EVs (LPS-EVs) and non-primed MSC-EVs (C-EVs) were evaluated in vitro on alveolar epithelial cells and macrophage-like THP-1 cells. In vivo, ALI was induced in adult male rats by the intrapulmonary instillation of HCl and LPS. Rats (n = 8 to 22/group) were randomized to receive a
