T3 is the biologically more active thyroid hormone. DCs are specialized antigen presenting cells. T3 activate mice DCs (T3-DCs) inducing Th1 and Th17 proinflammatory, and cytotoxic responses, restraining Tregs. On this basis, antitumor antigen-specific T3-DCs based vaccination strategies were exploited successfully for melanoma and colon cancer in mice. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized membrane vesicles that play key roles in intercellular communication. We reported that EVs released by T3-DCs (T3-EVs) activated syngeneic DCs with a pro-inflammatory profile, contributing to paracrine DC communication in vitro. To go further, the aim of this study was to evaluate the adaptive modulatory role of T3-EVs. Bone marrow DCs obtained from C57BL/6 WT mice were stimulated (or not) with T3 (10nM) for 18h. DC-EV fractions were isolated by differential ultracentrifugation of culture supernatants (2,000g: 2K; 10,000g: 10K; and 100,000g: 100K). Allogenic splenocytes were obtained from BALB/c mice and stimulated with DC-EV fractions of T3-stimulated and Control (C) cells for 6 days. Intracellular and secreted cytokine production were analyzed by flow cytometry and ELISA. Statistical analysis: Sidak´s multiple comparisons test. P
