Abstract (original English)
Background Preclinical studies have suggested that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) transplantation can suppress abdominal aortic inflammation and aneurysm expansion through paracrine factors. Yet, the mechanism of action is not fully understood. In the present study, we further examined the function and mechanism of ADSC-derived exosomes (ADSC-exos) and their microRNA-17-5p (miR-17-5p) on the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression. Methods ADSC-exos were isolated and identified. DiR and PKH67 staining were used to trace ADSC-exo in vivo and in vitro. Raw264.7 cells were applied to perform in vitro experiments, while a murine AAA model induced using angiotensin II (Ang II) was used for in vivo testing. The expression level of miR-17-5p in macrophages and Ang II-treated macrophages after ADSC-exos treatment was determined using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The target relation between miR-17-5p and thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) was identified by a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Artificial activation and block of experiments of miR-17-5p and TXNIP were conducted to clarify their functions in inflammation during AAA progression. The severity of AAA between groups was assessed by maximal aorta diameter, AAA incidence, survival rate, and histological stainings. Besides, inflammasome-related proteins and mac
