[h=3]Abstract[/h] The innate immune system is important for the efficacy of vaccines, but excessive innate immune responses can cause adverse reactions after vaccination. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are enriched in the blood and can deliver functional RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), to recipient cells, thereby mediating intercellular communication. However, the role of EVs in controlling the innate immune responses to vaccines has not been fully elucidated. Here, we found that miR-451a is abundant in human serum EVs and that its presence in blood-circulating EVs affects the innate immune responses of macrophages and dendritic cells to inactivated whole-virus vaccines (WV) against influenza. miR-451a in human serum EVs was stable for a week in healthy subjects, and its levels gradually fluctuated over several months. miR-451a within serum EVs was internalized into serum-cultured macrophages and dendritic cells and reduced endogenous 14-3-3ζ protein levels and decreased the expression of type I IFN and interleukin 6 in response to WV stimulation. miR-451a levels in blood-circulating EVs were positively correlated with intracellular miR-451a levels in mouse splenic CD11c[SUP]+[/SUP] cells and inversely correlated with the innate immune response to inactivated WV in vivo These findings suggest that miR-451a in circulating EVs is internalized into recipient cells in vivo and that this internalization results in an attenuation of the innate immune response to WV. Moreover, a microarray analysis identified several other miRNAs that affect the macrophage response to inactivated WV. Our results reveal that miRNAs in circulating EVs significantly modify the responses of macrophages and dendritic cells to inactivated WV.
