Core Tip In this study, we found that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome (hucMSC-Ex) ameliorated dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis by reducing colonic inflammation and maintaining intestinal mucosa permeability, while promoting the transformation of immature pro-inflammatory macrophages into mature anti-inflammatory macrophages. In vitro, hucMSC-Ex also modulated the phenotypic changes in RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, hucMSC-Ex altered the phenotypic transformation of macrophages, thereby ameliorating experimental colitis through modulation of the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling pathway in vivo and in vitro. This study not only provides guidance for further research on molecular mechanisms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but also offers a theoretical basis for targeted therapy of IBD.
