T helper cells are crucial for psoriasis pathogenesis. Communication between T cells and psoriatic keratinocytes (KCs) helps drive the Th1 and Th17 response, but the underlying mechanism is not well-understood. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are emerging mediators of intercellular communication. Here, we investigated the role of KC-derived sEVs in the Th1 and Th17 response in psoriasis. We isolated and characterized sEVs from KCs under normal (untreated) and psoriatic (cytokine-treated) conditions. sEVs under both conditions exhibited a cup-shaped morphology and expressed markers CD63 and CD81. sEVs from cytokine-treated KCs can be taken up by CD4(+)T cells, leading to the induction of Th1 and Th17 polarization. Small RNA sequencing revealed that miR-381-3p was significantly increased in sEVs from cytokine-treated KCs and in CD4(+)T cells from patients with psoriasis. Moreover, sEVs-containing miR-381-3p was responsible for sEVs-induced Th1 and Th17 polarization. We further found that the miR-381-3p targeted to the 3' untranslated region of E3 ubiquitin-ligase UBR5 and stabilized ROR gamma t protein expression. It also targeted to the 3' untranslated region of FOXO1, associated with activated T-bet and ROR gamma t transcription. Taken together, we propose that psoriatic KCs transfer miR-381-3p to CD4(+)T cells through sEVs, inducing Th1 and Th17 polarization and promoting psoriasis development. Our findings motivate future studies of KC-derived sEVs or their specific cargoes as therapeutic candidates for psoriasis.
