    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence has indicated that exosomes serve as key regulators in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study was determined to investigate the effect of M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (M2-Exos) in AMI and the further mechanism. METHODS: M2 macrophages were induced and M2-exos were isolated and verified. The AMI mouse model was prepared by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) and then intravenously injected with the isolated M2-exos. The mouse cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and TUNEL assay were conducted to examine myocardial lesion and apoptosis in cardiac tissues. The expressions of associated molecules were detected by quantitative real time-PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot. MTT assay, Flow cytometry and Dual-luciferase reporter assay were carried out to detect cell viability, apoptosis and the interaction of miRNA and the target. RESULT: M2-Exos could promote cardiac repair in AMI mice. M2-Exos suppressed apoptosis and enhanced viability of hypoxia-induced cardiomyocytes through delivery of miR-1271-5p. SOX6 is a direct target of miR-1271-5p. miR-1271-5p decreased cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by hypoxia and alleviated cardiac injury in AMI via down-regulating SOX6 expression. CONCLUSION: We identified that M2-Exos could carry miR-1271-5p to reduce apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and promote cardiac repair via down-regulating SOX6.
