Exosomes derived from Baicalin-pretreated bone mesenchymal stem cells improve Th17/Treg imbalance after hepatic ischemia–reperfusion via FGF21 and the JAK2/STAT3 pathway
Baicalin is an active compound extracted from Scutellaria baicalensis with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-derived exosomes have shown promise for the treatment of hepatic ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. This study aims to investigate the role of Baicalin-pretreated BMSCs-derived exosomes in hepatic I/R injury and its mechanisms. BMSCs were pretreated with or without Baicalin, and their exosomes (Ba-Exo and Exo) were collected and characterized. These exosomes were administered to mice via tail vein injection. Treatment with Exo and Ba-Exo significantly suppressed the elevation of ALT and AST induced by hepatic injury. Additionally, both Exo and Ba-Exo treatments resulted in a reduction in the liver weight-to-body weight ratio. RT-PCR results revealed a significant downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines with Exo and Ba-Exo treatment. Both Exo and Ba-Exo treatment improved the Th17/Treg cell imbalance induced by I/R and reduced hepatic injury. Additionally, exosomes were cocultured with normal liver cells, and the expression of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) in liver cells was elevated through Ba-Exo treatment. After treatment, the JAK2/STAT3 pathway was inhibited, and FOXO1 expression was upregulated. Finally, recombinant FGF21 was injected into mouse tail veins to assess its effects. Recombinant FGF21 injection further inhibited the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, increased FOXO1 expression, and improved the Th17/Treg cell imbalance. In conclusion, this study confirms the protective effects of Exo and Ba-Exo against hepatic I/R injury. Ba-Exo mitigates hepatic I/R injury, achieved through inducing FGF21 expression in liver cells, inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, and activating FOXO1 expression. Therefore, baicalin pretreatment emerges as a promising strategy to enhance the therapeutic capability of BMSCs-derived exosomes for hepatic I/R.
