Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs) have been believed to be a promising alternative for the stem cell transplantation therapy. The exosomes (Exo) from iMSCs play an important role in several kinds of life activities. The role of exosomes from iMSCs in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) induced myocardial injury (MI) has not been investigated. The Exo were isolated from iMSCs through differential centrifugation method. The SAP rat model was established with 5% sodium taurocholate injection into the distal end of the bilepancreatic duct. RT-PCR and western blotting were used to measure related gene expression. Masson trichrome and Sirius Red stainings were used to evaluate MI injury. Cardiac function was detected through cardiac ultrasound.Exo promoted cell viability through activating Akt/nuclear factor E2 related factors 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) signaling pathway  in vitro . Exo improved MI induced by SAP through activating Akt/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Exo improved cardiac function, and suppressed oxidative status in the SAP model. Exo increased the expression of von Willebrand Factor (vWF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) through activating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Our data indicated that the Exo from iMSCs could improve MI caused by SAP through activating Nrf2/HO-1 axis. These findings firstly unfold the potential application of Exo from iMSCs in treating MI induced by SAP.
