摘要

Treg dysfunction in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) remains mechanistically unclear. We investigated ICM plasma small extracellular vesicles (ICM-sEVs) in Treg regulation and post-MI remodeling. Flow cytometry assessed Treg frequency. ICM-sEV miRNA sequencing revealed miR-223-3p enrichment, validated using miR-223−/− and Foxp3GFP/+ mice. ICM patients and mice exhibited elevated Treg numbers but suppressed Foxp3. miR-223-3p was upregulated in ICM-sEVs and inversely correlated with functional Tregs. ICM-sEVs administration aggravated ventricular remodeling post myocardial infarction (MI) in mice while reducing Treg frequency and elevating miR-223-3p in vitro. miR-223 knockdown increased Treg cell number and Foxp3 expression, whereas miR-223 overexpression reversed the phenotype. ICM-sEVs aggravate ventricular remodeling post-MI and promote miR-223-3p-mediated Treg cell dysfunction.

Graphical Abstract

This study demonstrated a dysfunctional phenotype in Treg cells from ICM patients and probably correlated with miR-223-3p from ICM sEVs. ICM-sEVs aggravated ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction and worsened cardiac function through dysfunctional Treg cells mediated by miR-223-3p
