This study investigates the potential of induced mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (iMSC-EVs) in regulating AMPK signaling and lipid metabolism. The findings suggest that iMSC-EVs can inhibit free fatty acid release, improve hepatic steatosis, reduce fatty acid transport to the liver, and alleviate inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and apoptosis in NASH. iMSC-EVs show promise as cell-free therapeutics for NASH.
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a chronic liver disease associated with metabolic syndrome. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are essential signaling mediators containing functional biomolecules. EVs are secreted from various cell types, and recent studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs have therapeutic potential against immune and metabolic diseases. In this study, we investigated whether EVs from induced mesenchymal stem cells (iMSC-EVs) regulate AMPK signaling and lipid metabolism using cell-based studies and two different mouse models of NASH (methionine/choline-deficient diet-induced and ob/ob mice). Protein analysis revealed that iMSC-EVs carry cargo proteins with the potential to regulate lipid metabolism. iMSC-EVs inhibited free fatty acid release from adipose tissues by downregulating the activity of lipolytic genes in NASH. In addition, iMSC-EVs improved hepatic steatosis by modulating AMPK signaling, which plays essential role in metabolic homeostasis in the liver. Moreover, iMSC-EVs reduced CD36 expression, contributing to the blockade of free fatty acid transport to the liver of NASH mice. Finally, iMSC-EVs reduced inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and apoptosis while promoting hepatic regeneration of the NASH liver. In conclusion, iMSC-EVs can potentially serve as cell-free therapeutics for NASH owing to their multifaceted modality.
