The systemic inflammatory milieu plays an important role in the age-related decline in functional integrity, but its contribution to age-related disease (e.g., stroke) remains largely unknown. To determine the role of systemic inflammatory milieu in ischemic stroke. Here, we report that systemic administration of serum exosomes from young rats (Y-exo) into aged ischemic rats improved short- and long-term functional outcomes after ischemic stroke and reduced synaptic loss. By contract, similar injections of serum exosomes from aged rats (O-exo) into aged ischemic rats worsened sensorimotor deficits through exacerbation of synaptic dysfunction due to excessive microglial phagoptosis (primary phagocytosis). Our proteomic analysis further revealed that the expression of CD46, a C3b/C4b-inactivating factor, was higher in Y-exo, compared to O-exo. Whereas the prevalence of pro-inflammatory mediators (C1q, C3a and C3b) in serum exosomes increased with age. Microglial expression of C3a/b and C3aR increased after O-exo treatment, compared with Y-exo and vehicle groups. Administration of a selective C3aR inhibitor or microglial depletion attenuated synaptic dysfunction associated with O-exo treatment and improved post-stroke functional recovery. Our data suggest that the levels of pro-inflammatory mediators in serum exosomes increase with age and are associated with worsened stroke outcomes through excessive C3aR-dependent microglial phagoptosis. Modulation of this process may serve as a promising therapy for stroke and other age-related brain disorders. Circulating exosomes could act as a neuroinflammatory mediators in systemic inflammation and contribute to age-related decline in functional integrity. However, their role in ischemic stroke remains unexplored. In this study, we found that aging blood exosomes progressively accumulate peripheral pro-inflammatory mediators and could cross the BBB to prime and excessively activate microglia via a C3aR-dependent mechanism. This process is facilitated by ischemic stroke resulting in synaptic damage, reduced synaptic function, and elevated sensorimotor and cognitive deficits. By replacing aging exosomes with young exosomes, it is possible to reverse the decline of synaptic and neurological functions and deliver therapeutic benefits after stroke. Thus, the peripheral and central immune systems are engaged in a continuous crosstalk via complement-microglial interactions and their modulation may serve as a promising therapeutic tool in ischemic stroke and other age-related brain diseases.
