Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) confer cardioprotection in acute myocardial infarction (MI) via distinctive macrophage (Mϕ) polarization. Here we demonstrate that CDC-secreted exosomes (CDCexo) recapitulate the cardioprotective effects of CDC therapy known as cellular postconditioning. Rats and pigs underwent MI induced by ischemia-reperfusion prior to intracoronary infusion of CDCexo, inert fibroblast exosomes (Fbexo; control), or vehicle. Two days later, infarct size was quantified. Macrophages were isolated from cardiac tissue or bone marrow for downstream analyses. RNA-sequencing was used to determine exosome content and alterations in gene expression profiles in Mϕ. Administration of CDCexo, but not Fbexo, after reperfusion reduces infarct size in rat and pig models of MI. Furthermore, CDCexo reduce the number of CD68+ Mϕ within infarcted tissue and modify the polarization state of Mϕ so as to mimic that induced by CDCs. CDCexo are enriched in several miRNAs (including miR-146a, miR-181b, and miR-126) relative to Fbexo. Reverse pathway analysis of whole-transcriptome data from CDCexo-primed Mϕ implicated miR-181b as a significant (p=1.3×10−21) candidate mediator of CDC-induced Mϕ polarization and protein kinase C δ (PKCδ) as a downstream target. Otherwise-inert Fbexo loaded selectively with miR-181b alter Mϕ phenotype and confer cardioprotective efficacy in a rat model of MI. Adoptive transfer of PKCδ-suppressed Mϕ recapitulates cardioprotection. Our data support the hypothesis that exosomal transfer of miR-181b from CDCs into Mϕ reduces PKCδ transcript levels and underlies the cardioprotective effects of CDCs administered after reperfusion.
