Fibroblasts are major cellular components of healing wounds. In this regard, it remains to be fully understood how different paracrine signals may influence the final collagen/matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) balance in resident fibroblasts. Our previous reports have demonstrated that circulating stem cells and monocytes can be transdifferentiated into keratinocyte-like cells under certain culture conditions. These transformed cells are able to stimulate MMP-1 expression in dermal fibroblasts. However, the underlying mechanism of this cell-to-cell interaction is unknown. This study describes exosomes as a major delivery system that keratinocyte-like cells use to release proteins into the conditioned media. The exosomes exhibited distinctive size, density, and saucer-like morphology. Using PKH-26 and GFP-adenovirus infection, we demonstrated that exosomes are able to fuse and then release their protein content into dermal fibroblasts. Mass spectrometry and Western blotting identified five 14-3-3 isoforms (beta, gamma, epsilon, tau, and zeta) as MMP-1 stimulating factors for dermal fibroblasts. Immunoprecipation assays confirmed that these 14-3-3 isoforms account for almost the entire MMP-1 up-regulation induced by exosomes. In summary, our results demonstrated that circulating monocytes stimulated to be transformed into keratinocyte-like cells could promote an anti-fibrogenic commitment of dermal fibroblasts via exosomal 14-3-3 proteins.
