Extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stromal cells mitigate intestinal toxicity in a mouse model of acute radiation syndrome.
Model: Lethal whole-body irradiation with an Alphee medical accelerator; dose ranging at 15, 13, 12 and 10 Gy, with 10 Gy used for all therapy experiments, producing acute radiation syndrome with gastrointestinal injury
Extracellular vesicles, but not MSC, significantly delayed death after 10 Gy irradiation (log-rank p < 0.0001), reducing the instantaneous risk of death by 85% (hazard ratio 0.15) and delaying LD50 by 3.5 days. They prevented the radiation-induced rise in gut permeability (5.7 +/- 1.0 versus 9.1 +/…
