Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a complication of hepatectomy that affects the functional recovery of the remnant liver, which has been demonstrated to be associated with pyroptosis and apoptosis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can protect against HIRI in rodents. Paracrine mechanisms of MSCs indicated that MSCs-derived exosomes (MSCs-exo) are one of the important components within the paracrine substances of MSCs. Moreover, miniature pigs are ideal experimental animals in comparative medicine compared to rodents. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate whether hepatectomy combined with HIRI in miniature pigs would induce pyroptosis and whether adipose-derived MSCs (ADSCs) and their exosomes (ADSCs-exo) could positively mitigate apoptosis and pyroptosis. The study also compared the differences in the effects and the role of ADSCs and ADSCs-exo in pyroptosis and apoptosis. Results showed that severe ultrastructure damage occurred in liver tissues and systemic inflammatory response was induced after surgery, with TLR4/MyD88/NFκB/HMGB1 activation, NLRP3-ASC-Caspase1 complex generation, GSDMD revitalization, and IL-1β, IL-18, and LDH elevation in the serum. Furthermore, expression of Fas-Fasl-Caspase8 and CytC-APAF1-Caspase9 was increased in the liver. The ADSCs or ADSCs-exo intervention could inhibit the expression of these indicators and improve the ultrastructural pathological changes and systemic inflammatory response. There was no significant difference between the two intervention groups. In summary, ADSCs-exo could effectively inhibit pyroptosis and apoptosis similar to ADSCs and may be considered a safe and effective cell-free therapy to protect against liver injury.
