ProblemOur previous studies demonstrated that trophoblast-derived exosomes induced synthesis and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) by macrophages. The objective of this study was to characterize the mechanism and receptors associated with this induction.Method of studyExosomes were isolated from Sw71 trophoblast-conditioned media by ultrafiltration and ultracentrifugation. Using macrophages isolated from normal donors, cytochalasin D was used to block exosome uptake. Induction of IL-1 beta mRNA was investigated by qRT-PCR, pro-IL-1 beta protein by western immunoblotting, and mature IL-1 beta release by ELISA. RGD peptides were used to block fibronectin binding by macrophage alpha 5 beta 1 integrin.ResultsUptake of exosomes by macrophages was completely blocked by pretreatment with cytochalasin D. Although induction of some cytokines (such as C4A and CCL11) requires uptake, induction of IL-1 beta occurred without exosome internalization. Cytochalasin D treatment did not inhibit exosome-mediated induction of IL-1 beta mRNA, production of the proprotein, or release of mature IL-1 beta. Blocking of fibronectin binding using RGD peptides demonstrated the abrogation of exosome-mediated IL-1 beta production.ConclusionAlthough trophoblast-derived exosomes have been demonstrated to induce IL-1 beta, this is the first demonstration of IL-1 beta induction by exosome-associated fibronectin. Based on this pro-inflammatory role of exosome-associated fibronectin, it may represent an important general immunoregulatory mechanism.
