Here, we evaluated the efficacy of exosomes derived from human placental mesenchymal stem cells (hpMSCs) in mitigating ALI in a murine model of AP.  We also investigated the role of hsa-let-7i-5p, the most abundant miRNA in hpMSC-derived exosomes, in this respect.Methods:  Adult male C57BL\/6 mouse AP models were administered hpMSC-derived exosomes (APExo group) or phosphate-buffered saline (AP group) intra-tracheally.  After 48 h, the mice were euthanized and evaluated.  The effects of hsa-let-7i-5p were assessed by specific inhibition or overexpression.Results:  Compared with the APExo group, the AP group exhibited significantly greater ALI, as evidenced by histological damage, increased lung injury scores, impaired lung function, increased leukocyte infiltration, and elevated tissue edema (all P &lt; 0.05).  The untreated AP group also showed more inflammation, characterized by nuclear factor-\u03baB upregulation, macrophage M1 polarization, and cytokine level elevation (tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1, interleukin-1\u03b2, and interleukin-6), as well as increased oxidation and activation of the apoptosis pathway (all P &lt; 0.05).  Notably, the therapeutic effects of hpMSC-derived exosomes were compromised by specific inhibition of hsa-let-7i-5p.  Furthermore, engineered exosomes derived from genetically modified RAW264.7 overexpressing hsa-let-7i-5p demonstrated therapeutic effects against AP similar to those obtained with hpMSC-derived exosomes.Conclusions:  In a murine AP model, intra-tracheal administration of hpMSC-derived exosomes has ALI-mitigating effects, involving inflammation, oxidation, and apoptosis modulation, with hsa-let-7i-5p playing a pivotal mediating role.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4097\/kja.25037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]],"date-time":"2025-07-01T04:49:33Z","timestamp":1751345373000},"page":"114-129","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4097\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Human placental mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes carrying hsa-let-7i-5p mitigate lung injury in a murine model of aspiration pneumonia"],"prefix":"10.4097","volume":"79","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9605-9837","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ching-Wei","family":"Chuang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9840-987X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hong-Phuc Nguyen","family":"Vo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6020-9998","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yen-Hua","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3951-5197","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"I-Lin","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-5788-5208","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Chao-Yuan","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1006-6762","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Chun-Jen","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2573","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/nejm200103013440908"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12788\/jhm.3154"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocp.2018.03.011"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamda.2019.03.029"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/qco.0000000000000524"},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"231","volume-title":"Aspiration pneumonia.
