Effects of exosomes derived from Trichinella spiralis infective larvae on intestinal epithelial barrier function.

ABSTRACT: Muscle larvae of Trichinella spiralis parasitize the host intestinal epithelium. The mechanisms of exosomes participating in the invasion of T. spiralis muscle larvae are unclear. Hence, the purpose of this study was to explore the effect of exosomes derived from T. spiralis infective larvae (TsExos) on the barrier function of porcine small intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2). First, TsExos were successfully obtained, and their ingestion by epithelial cells was validated. Furthermore, the optimal induction condition was determined by the CCK8 kit, and we found that exposure to 150 μg/mL TsExos for 12/24 h decreased the viability of IPEC-J2 cells by 30%. Based on this outcome, the effects of TsExos on cell biological processes and tight junctions were studied. After coincubation of TsExos
