Extracellular vesicles are critical regulators of host-parasite interactions. We previously demonstrated that Schistosoma japonicum EVs contain a remarkably high abundance of host miR-148a. Here, we characterised the abundance of miR-148a in circulation, in peripheral immune cells, and in plasma EVs of S. japonicum-infected mice. The results suggested the high abundance of miR-148a in macrophages to be likely linked to S. japonicum EVs. Additionally, miR-148a was found to target PTEN through the PI3K/AKT pathway to regulate cytokine production in macrophages. Consequently, our findings suggest that high abundance of miR-148a in macrophages may be associated with S. japonicum EVs, and regulate the host immune response during schistosome infection.
