Abstract
BACKGROUND: Exosomes are nanovesicles originating from multivesicular bodies that have complex functions and significant therapeutic effects in many diseases. In the present study, we successfully extracted exosomes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and assessed the effect of those exosomes on the development of the allergic response in two types of classic asthma models. METHODS: Female BALB/c mice were administrated with P. aeruginosa-derived exosomes 1 week before ovalbumin (OVA) or house dust mite (HDM) sensitization. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, serums and lung tissues were collected and analyzed for pathophysiology and immune responses. RESULTS: Our results demonstrated that P. aeruginosa-derived exosomes inhibited the development of airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR), peribronchial and perivascular inflammation in lung tissues and the level of serum IgE. Moreover, this protective effect was associated with an increase in the regulatory T cell (Treg) response and a concomitant decreased Th2 response. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, these observations demonstrated that P. aeruginosa-derived exosomes could induce protection against allergic sensitization in asthma mice, and our study provided a new insight to prevent allergic diseases.
