Apoptotic Vesicles Attenuate Acute Lung Injury via CD73-Mediated Inhibition of Platelet Activation and NETosis by Tan L, Zhang C, Kou X, Zhao L, Wu D, Li J, Yu C, Xu T, Gao L, Mao X, Zhao C

“…Additionally, the role of CD73 in mediating these effects was thoroughly investigated.Results: ApoVs inhibit platelet activation, thereby impeding the infiltration of neutrophils into the lung and the initiation of NETosis, ultimately alleviating ALI. Remarkably, apoVs were enriched with CD73, which was critical for apoV-mediated repression of platelet activation and neutrophil NETosis, as well as the therapeutic effects observed in lung injury.Conclusion: This study reveals that apoVs inhibit platelet activity and neutrophil NETosis via CD73, offering an innovative and effective cell-free therapeutic strategy for ALI/ARDS. …”
