Background  Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and death worldwide. Studies have indicated that microRNAs in mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes are crucial for treating various diseases.    Methods  Human umbilical cord MSC (hucMSC)-derived exosomes (hucMSC-exo) were isolated and used to treat cardiomyocytes that underwent hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury. Bioluminescence assessment was used to study binding of miRNA to its targeting gene.    Results  We found that H/R decreased the viability of AC16 cells, increased the expression of NLRP3, and activated caspase-1(p20) and GSDMD-N as well as release of IL-1β and IL-18, and such effects were abolished by administration of hucMSC-exo. Administration of exosomes from negative scramble miRNA (NC)-transfected hucMSCs blocked H/R-caused lactate dehydrogenase release, pyroptosis, and over-regulation of NLRP3 and activated caspase-1(p20) and GSDMD-N as well as release of IL-1β and IL-18. More importantly, in comparison to exsomes from NC-transfected hucMSCs, exsomes from miR-100-5p-overexpressing hucMSCs had more obvious effects, and those from miR-100-5p-inhibitor-transfected hucMSCs showed fewer effects. Functional study showed that miR-100-5p bound to the 3’-untranslated region (3’-UTR) of FOXO3 to suppress its transcription. Moreover, overexpression of FOXO3 abolished the protective effects of miR-100-5p.    Conclusion  Enriched miR-100-5p in hucMSC-exo suppressed FOXO3 expression to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation and suppress cytokine release and, therefore, protected cardiomyocytes from H/R-induced pyroptosis and injury.
