Abstrakt: The risk of severe disease caused by co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus (IAV) raises an annual concern for global public health. Extracellular vesicles (EV) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) possess anti-inflammatory properties that can attenuate the inflammatory cytokine levels induced by viral infection. However, the effects of MSC-EV treatment on SARS-CoV-2 and IAV co-infection have not been elucidated. In the present study, we co-induced lung epithelial cells (EpiC) with SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (S) and H1N1 influenza viral HA protein (HA) and found robust upregulation of inflammatory cytokines in comparison to those induced by either S or HA protein. Consequently, treatment of lung endothelial cells (EC) with conditioned medium from EpiC co-induced by both S and HA proteins resulted in increased apoptosis and impaired angiogenic ability, suggesting the effects of co-induction on epithelial-endothelial crosstalk. In addition, lung EpiC co-induced by both S and HA proteins showed paracrine effects on the recruitment of immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages and neutrophils. Of Note, EV derived from Wharton Jelly's MSC (WJ-EV) transferred miR-146a to recipient lung EpiC, which impaired TRAF6 and IRAK1, resulting in the downregulation of NF-κB pathway and secretion of inflammatory cytokines, rescuing the epithelial-endothelial crosstalk, and reducing the elevation of immune cell recruitment. Moreover, the anti-inflammatory properties of WJ-EV are affected by type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. WJ-EV derived from donors with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus contained less miR-146a and showed impaired ability to downregulate the NF-κB pathway and inflammatory cytokines in recipient cells. Taken together, our findings demonstrate the role of miR-146a in targeting the NF-κB pathway in the anti-inflammatory abilities of WJ-EV, which is a promising strategy to rescue the epithelial-endothelial crosstalk altered by co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 and IAV.
