Model: Sja-miR-71a in S. japonicum egg-derived EVs suppresses liver fibrosis in schistosomiasis by targeting semaphorin 4D. S. japonicum egg-derived EVs can inhibit the activation of HSCs, and this inhibition is mediated via the high expression of Sja-miR-71a. Sja-miR-71a attenuates the liver fibrosis in S. japonicum infection by Sema4D/TGF-β1 axis and Sema4D/IL-13 axis. In addition, Sja-miR-71a suppression of liver fibrosis is partly mediated by regulating Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg balance via inhibiting Sema4D.
