摘要
Mammalian milk exosomal miRNAs play an important role in maintaining intestinal immune homeostasis and protecting epithelial barrier function, but the specific miRNAs and whether miRNA-mediated mechanisms are responsible for these benefits remain a matter of investigation. This study isolated sheep milk-derived exosomes (sheep MDEs), identifying the enriched miRNAs in sheep MDEs, oar-miR-148a, and oar-let-7b as key components targeting TLR4 and TRAF1, which was validated by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. In dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis mice, administration of sheep MDEs alleviated colitis symptoms, reduced colonic inflammation, and systemic oxidative stress, as well as significantly increased colonic oar-miR-148a and oar-let-7b while reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and TNF-receptor-associated factor 1 (TRAF1) level. Further characterization in TNF-α-challenged Caco-2 cells showed that overexpression of these miRNAs suppressed the TLR4/TRAF1-IκBα-p65 pathway and reduced IL-6 and IL-12 production. These findings indicate that sheep MDEs exert gastrointestinal anti-inflammatory effects through the miRNA-mediated modulation of TLR4 and TRAF1, highlighting their potential in managing colitis.
