Abstract
Different categories of extracellular vesicles (EVs) are identified based on their origin and formation processes. Among these, exosomes (EXOs) originate from endosomal compartments merging with the plasma membrane, forming small lipid vesicles that transport a range of molecular cargo such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. The composition of EXOs varies depending on their cellular source, encompassing various cell types, including neutrophils, dendritic cells, and even tumor cells. Remarkably, EXOs possess inherent stability, low immunogenicity, and compatibility, making them efficient nano vectors for drug delivery. Imaging techniques like bioluminescence, fluorescence, and nuclear imaging are crucial in non-invasively tracking EXOs within living organisms. This process requires the attachment of radionuclides to the EXO's structure without altering its essential characteristics. Real-time imaging of EXOs is vital for their clinical application, and recent advancements in labeling and tracking methodologies provide insights into biodistribution, functionality, and potential pathways for EXO-mediated drug delivery. This review presents updated progress in the diverse applications of EXOs in targeted imaging across various modalities, where they function as contrast agents facilitating tissue visualization and disease tracking. Consequently, EXOs emerge as promising entities in medical diagnostics and imaging.

BURNS & TRAUMA 2024; 12:tkae021. [PMID: 39139205 PMCID: PMC11319788 DOI: 10.1093/burnst/tkae021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024]
Abstract
The healing process at a wound is made up of many types of cells, growth factors, the extracellular matrix, nerves and blood vessels all interacting with each other in complex and changing ways. Microbial colonization and proliferation are possible at the place of injury, which makes infection more likely. Because of this, any cut has a chance of getting an infection. Researchers have found that wound infections make patients more upset and cost the healthcare system a lot of money. Surgical site infections happen a lot to people who have recently had surgery. This study shows that such surgical infection is linked to a high rate of illness and death. This is shown by the fact that 25% of patients get serious sepsis and need to be transferred to an intensive care unit. In both animal models and people, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play an active role in all stages of wound healing and have positive effects. Exosomes are one of the main things MSCs release. They have effects that are similar to those of the parent MSCs. Various effector proteins, messenger RNA and microRNAs can be transported by extracellular vesicles to control the activity of target cells. This has a big impact on the healing process. These results suggest that using MSC-exosomes as a new type of cell-free therapy could be a better and safer option than whole cell therapy. This review is mostly about how to use parts of MSC-exosomes to help wound infections heal.

Macrophage exosomes mediate palmitic acid-induced metainflammation by transferring miR-3064-5p to target IκBα and activate NF-κB signaling. J Adv Res 2024:S2090-1232(24)00261-3. [PMID: 38960278 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2024.06.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION High palmitic acid (PA) levels trigger metainflammation, facilitating the onset and progression of chronic metabolic diseases. Recently, exosomes were identified as new inflammation mediators. However, the mechanism by which macrophage exosomes mediate PA-induced inflammation remains unclear. OBJECTIVES To explore how PA induces metainflammation through macrophage exosomes. METHODS Exosomes secreted by RAW264.7 mouse macrophages stimulated with PA (ExosPA) or not (Exos) were prepared by ultracentrifugation. The differential miRNAs between ExosPA and Exos were identified by high-throughput sequencing, and their targeted mRNAs and proteins were bioinformatically analyzed and verified by qPCR and western blot. Mouse macrophages and metabolic cells (AML-12 hepatocytes, C2C12 myocytes or 3T3-L1 adipocytes) were treated with ExosPA or Exos. The verified miRNAs and its targeted molecules related to inflammation were analyzed in recipient cells. Furthers, exosomes were prepared from primary peritoneal macrophages isolated from AIN93G diet-fed (Control PM-Exos) or HPD-fed (PA PM-Exos) mice. Control or PA PM-Exos were then tail vein injected (30 μg) into mice (n = 10), once a week for 2 weeks. The verified miRNA and its targets in blood, blood exosomes, and metabolic tissues were detected. Finally, measured the levels of miRNA, inflammatory factors, and fatty acids in the blood of 20 obese/overweight individuals and 20 healthy individuals. RESULTS ExoPA activate NF-κB signaling and enhance inflammatory enzyme/cytokine production in macrophages and metabolic cells. ExoPA enrich miR-3064-5p and target to inhibit IκBα as verified by exosome inhibitors and miR-3064-5p mimics and inhibitors. HPD elevates exosomal miR-3064-5p, macrophage exosomal miR-3064-5p, and inflammatory cytokine levels in mice circulation. PA PM-Exos from HPD-fed mice triggered inflammation in the circulation and metabolic tissues/organs of chow diet-fed mice. Overweight/obese individuals exhibit increased levels of circulating palmitoleic acid, exosomal miR-3064-5p, and high-sensitivity C-reactive proteins. CONCLUSIONS Macrophage exosomes transferring miR-3064-5p to target IκBα and activate NF-κB signaling in metabolic cells is a mechanism of PA-induced metainflammation.

Abstract
This study investigates the intricate interplay between environmental pollutants and exosomes, shedding light on a novel paradigm in environmental health and disease. Cellular stress, induced by environmental toxicants or disease, significantly impacts the production and composition of exosomes, crucial mediators of intercellular communication. The heat shock response (HSR) and unfolded protein response (UPR) pathways, activated during cellular stress, profoundly influence exosome generation, cargo sorting, and function, shaping intercellular communication and stress responses. Environmental pollutants, particularly lipophilic ones, directly interact with exosome lipid bilayers, potentially affecting membrane stability, release, and cellular uptake. The study reveals that exposure to environmental contaminants induces significant changes in exosomal proteins, miRNAs, and lipids, impacting cellular function and health. Understanding the impact of environmental pollutants on exosomal cargo holds promise for biomarkers of exposure, enabling non-invasive sample collection and real-time insights into ongoing cellular responses. This research explores the potential of exosomal biomarkers for early detection of health effects, assessing treatment efficacy, and population-wide screening. Overcoming challenges requires advanced isolation techniques, standardized protocols, and machine learning for data analysis. Integration with omics technologies enhances comprehensive molecular analysis, offering a holistic understanding of the complex regulatory network influenced by environmental pollutants. The study underscores the capability of exosomes in circulation as promising biomarkers for assessing environmental exposure and systemic health effects, contributing to advancements in environmental health research and disease prevention.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex metabolic ailment marked by a global high prevalence and significant attention in primary healthcare settings due to its elevated morbidity and mortality rates. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of this disease remain subjects of ongoing investigation. Recent evidence underscores the pivotal role of the intricate intercellular communication network, wherein cell-derived vesicles, commonly referred to as extracellular vesicles (EVs), emerge as dynamic regulators of diabetes-related complications. Given that the protein cargo carried by EVs is contingent upon the metabolic conditions of the originating cells, particular proteins may serve as informative indicators for the risk of activating or inhibiting signaling pathways crucial to the progression of T2D complications. Methods In this study, we conducted a systematic review to analyze the published evidence on the proteome of EVs from the plasma or serum of patients with T2D, both with and without complications (PROSPERO: CRD42023431464). Results Nine eligible articles were systematically identified from the databases, and the proteins featured in these articles underwent Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. We identified changes in the level of 426 proteins, with CST6, CD55, HBA1, S100A8, and S100A9 reported to have high levels, while FGL1 exhibited low levels. Conclusion These proteins are implicated in pathophysiological mechanisms such as inflammation, complement, and platelet activation, suggesting their potential as risk markers for T2D development and progression. Further studies are required to explore this topic in greater detail.

Abstract
Purpose Exosomes play a key role in cell-to-cell communication by transferring their cargo to target tissues. Little is known on the course of exosome size and number in infants and children. Methods Longitudinally, we assessed the size and number of circulating exosomes at birth and at ages 2 and 7 yr in 75 infants/children born appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA; n=40) or small-for-gestational-age (SGA; n=35 with spontaneous catch-up), and related those results to concomitantly assessed measures of endocrine-metabolic health (HOMA-IR; IGF-1), body composition (by DXA at ages 0 and 2) and abdominal fat partitioning (subcutaneous, visceral and hepatic fat by MRI at age 7). Results Circulating exosomes of AGAs decreased in size (on average by 4.2%) and increased in number (on average by 77%) between birth and age 7. Circulating exosomes of SGAs (as compared to those of AGAs) had a larger size at birth [146.8 vs 137.8 nm, respectively; p=0.02], and were in lower number at ages 2 [4.3x1011 vs 5.6x1011 particles/mL, respectively; p=0.01] and 7 [6.3x1011 vs 6.8x1011 particles/mL, respectively; p=0.006]. Longitudinal changes were thus more pronounced in SGAs for exosome size, and in AGAs for exosome number. At age 7, exosome size associated (P<0.0001) to liver fat in the whole study population. Conclusion Early-life changes in circulating exosomes include a minor decrease in size and a major increase in number, and these changes may be influenced by fetal growth. Exosome size may become one of the first circulating markers of liver fat in childhood.

Abstract
Exosomes are membrane-bound vesicles that are released by most cells. They carry nucleic acids, cytokines, growth factors, proteins, lipids, and metabolites. They are responsible for inter- and intracellular communications and their role in drug delivery is well defined. Exosomes have great potential for therapeutic applications, but the clinical use is restricted because of limitations in standardized procedures for isolation, purification, and drug delivery. Bioengineering of exosomes could be one approach to achieve standardization and reproducible isolation for clinical use. Exosomes are important transporters for targeted drug delivery because of their small size, stable structure, non-immunogenicity, and non-toxic nature, as well as their ability to carry a wide variety of compounds. These features of exosomes can be enhanced further by bioengineering. In this review, possible exosome bioengineering approaches, their biomedical applications, and targeted drug delivery are discussed.

Abstract
The hallmark of chronic inflammatory diseases is immune evasion. Successful immune evasion involves numerous mechanisms to suppress both adaptive and innate immune responses. Either direct contact between cells or paracrine signaling triggers these responses. Exosomes are critical drivers of these interactions and exhibit both immunogenic and immune evasion properties during the development and progression of various chronic inflammatory diseases. Exosomes carry diverse molecular cargo, including lipids, proteins, and RNAs that are crucial for immunomodulation. Moreover, recent studies have revealed that exosomes and their cargo-loaded molecules are extensively involved in lipid remodeling and metabolism during immune surveillance and disease. Many studies have also shown the involvement of lipids in controlling immune cell activities and their crucial upstream functions in regulating inflammasome activation, suggesting that any perturbation in lipid metabolism results in abnormal immune responses. Strikingly, the expanded immunometabolic reprogramming capacities of exosomes and their contents provided insights into the novel mechanisms behind the prophylaxis of inflammatory diseases. By summarizing the tremendous therapeutic potential of exosomes, this review emphasizes the role of exosome-derived noncoding RNAs in regulating immune responses through the modulation of lipid metabolism and their promising therapeutic applications.

[PMID: 37634980 DOI: 10.1016/j.cytogfr.2023.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized lipid bilayer-delimited particles secreted from almost all types of cells including bacteria, mammals and plants, and are presumed to be mediators of intercellular communication. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are nanoparticles with diverse diameters, ranging from 20 to 400 nm. BEVs are composed of soluble microbial metabolites, including nucleic acid, proteins, lipoglycans, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). In addition, EVs may contain quorum sensing peptides that are endowed with the ability to protect bacteria against bacteriophages, form and maintain bacterial communities, and modulate the host immune system. BEVs are potentially promising therapeutic modalities for use in vaccine development, cancer immunotherapy regimens, and drug delivery cargos. Plant-derived EVs (PEVs), such as EVs derived from herbal medicines, can be absorbed by the gut microbiota and influence the composition and homeostasis of gut microbiota. This review highlights the roles of BEVs and PEVs in bacterial and plant physiology and discusses crosstalk among gut bacteria, host metabolism and herbal medicine. In summary, EVs represent crucial communication messengers in the gut microbiota, with potential therapeutic value in the delivery of herbal medicines.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is a common pathological feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Although scientific evidence to date does not allow defining neuroinflammation as an ALS trigger, its role in exacerbating motor neuron (MNs) degeneration and disease progression is attracting research interest. Activated CNS (Central Nervous System) glial cells, proinflammatory peripheral and infiltrated T lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages, as well as the immunoreactive molecules they release, represent the active players for the role of immune dysregulation enhancing neuroinflammation. The crosstalk between the peripheral and CNS immune cells significantly correlates with the survival of ALS patients since the modification of peripheral macrophages can downregulate inflammation at the periphery along the nerves and in the CNS. As putative vehicles for misfolded protein and inflammatory mediators between cells, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have also drawn particular attention in the field of ALS. Both CNS and peripheral immune cells release EVs, which are able to modulate the behavior of neighboring recipient cells; unfortunately, the mechanisms involved in EVs-mediated communication in neuroinflammation remain unclear. This review aims to synthesize the current literature regarding EV-mediated cell-to-cell communication in the brain under ALS, with a particular point of view on the role of peripheral macrophages in responding to inflammation to understand the biological process and exploit it for ALS management.

Abstract
A nutritional intervention promotes the loss of body and visceral fat while maintaining muscle mass in breast cancer patients. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their characteristics can be potential biomarkers of disease. Here, we explore the changes in the Zeta potential of EVs; the content of miRNA-30, miRNA-145, and miRNA-155; and their association with body composition and biomarkers of metabolic risk in breast cancer patients, before and 6 months after a nutritional intervention. Clinicopathological data (HER2neu, estrogen receptor, and Ki67), anthropometric and body composition data, and plasma samples were available from a previous study. Plasma EVs were isolated and characterized in 16 patients. The expression of miRNA-30, miRNA-145, and miRNA-155 was analyzed. The Zeta potential was associated with HER2neu (β = 2.1; p = 0.00), Ki67 (β = -1.39; p = 0.007), estrogen positive (β = 1.57; p = 0.01), weight (β = -0.09; p = 0.00), and visceral fat (β = 0.004; p = 0.00). miRNA-30 was associated with LDL (β = -0.012; p = 0.01) and HDL (β = -0.02; p = 0.05). miRNA-155 was associated with visceral fat (β = -0.0007; p = 0.05) and Ki67 (β = -0.47; p = 0.04). Our results reveal significant associations between the expression of miRNA-30 and miRNA-155 and the Zeta potential of the EVs with biomarkers of metabolic risk and disease prognosis in women with breast cancer; particularly, the Zeta potential of EVs can be a new biomarker sensitive to changes in the nutritional status and breast cancer progression.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous nanoparticles secreted by almost all cell types. Reflecting the physiopathological state of the parental cell, EVs circulate in all body fluids, reaching distant cell targets and delivering different bioactive cargoes. As biological carriers, EVs influence their microenvironment altering cellular responses, being considered promising biomarkers for both physiological and pathological conditions. EVs are heterogeneous in terms of size and composition, depending on cell type and exposure to stimuli, and different methods have been developed to characterize their morphological, biophysical, and biochemical features. Among them, electron microscopy (EM) is the main technique used, however, the lack of standardized protocols makes it difficult to characterize EVs with a good reproducibility, thus using multiple approaches may represent a way to obtain more precise information. Furthermore, the relationship between architecture and function, not only in a molecular, but also in a cellular level, is gaining growing emphasis, characterizing morphometric parameters may represent a distinct, but effective approach to study the physiopathological state of the cell. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), may represent a promising method to study in detail EVs dynamics throughout the cell surface and its variations related to the physiological state, overcoming the limits of EM, and providing more reliable information. In this study, human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line, a cellular model to investigate neurodegeneration and oxidative stress, has been used to perform a comparative morphological and quantitative analysis of membrane budding and isolated large vesicles-enriched (microvesicles-like vesicles; MVs) fraction from control or oxidative stressed cells. Our main goal was to build up a methodology to characterize EVs morphology and spatial distribution over the cell surface in different physiological conditions, and to evaluate the efficacy of AFM against conventional EM. Interestingly, both microscopy techniques were effective for this analysis, but AFM allowed to reveal a differential profiling of plasma membrane budding between the physiological and the stress condition, indicating a potential relationship between mechanical characteristics and functional role. The results obtained may provide interesting perspectives for the use of AFM to study EVs, validating a morphometric approach to understand the pathophysiological state of the cell related to EVs trafficking.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are widely recognized as intercellular communication mediators. Among the different biological processes, EVs play a role in viral infections, supporting virus entrance and spread into host cells and immune response evasion. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection became an urgent public health issue with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, being responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic. Since EVs are implicated in SARS-CoV-2 infection in a morphological and functional level, they have gained growing interest for a better understanding of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and represent possible diagnostic tools to track the disease progression. Furthermore, thanks to their biocompatibility and efficient immune activation, the use of EVs may also represent a promising strategy for the development of new therapeutic strategies against COVID-19. In this review, we explore the role of EVs in viral infections with a focus on SARS-CoV-2 biology and pathogenesis, considering recent morphometric studies. The common biogenesis aspects and structural similarities between EVs and SARS-CoV-2 will be examined, offering a panoramic of their multifaceted interplay and presenting EVs as a machinery supporting the viral cycle. On the other hand, EVs may be exploited as early diagnostic biomarkers and efficient carriers for drug delivery and vaccination, and ongoing studies will be reviewed to highlight EVs as potential alternative therapeutic strategies against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
Background Exosomes are microvesicles that actively participate in signaling mechanisms and depending on their content can contribute to the development of different pathologies, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of cystatin C, CD26, and CD14 proteins in serum exosomes from patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP). Methods Serum exosomes were isolated by ultracentrifugation from 147 individuals with and without diabetes. Both anthropometric and metabolic parameters were registered from everyone. The levels of exosomal proteins cystatin C, CD26, and CD14 were quantified by ELISA. The association between protein levels and T2D or atherogenic risk factors was analyzed by linear regression and generalized regression models. Results We observed a significant correlation of increased glucose with elevated levels of Cystatin C, and an effect of T2D on the levels of CD26 (β = 45.8 pg/µg; p = 0.001) and CD14 (β = 168 pg/µg; p < 0.001) compared to subjects without T2D. CD14 was significantly related to T2D, metabolic syndrome, glucose, and the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP). Additionally, we observed a significant effect of metabolic syndrome MetS on the increase of exosomal Cystatin C and CD14. Conclusions T2D may contribute to the increase of CD14 protein contained in exosomes, as well as to the predisposition of atherogenic events development due to its relationship with the increase in serum triglyceride concentrations and the AIP score. Finally, the increased levels of CD14 and Cystatin C in exosomes are related to MetS. The analysis of exosome contents of diabetic patients remains an incipient field, so extensive characterization is crucial for their use as biomarkers or to analyze their possible contribution to diabetic complications.

Abstract
SCOPE Phenotypic switch of macrophage polarization in adipose tissue has been associated with obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation (OATI). Therefore, we aimed to explore the possible mechanism of adipocytes-derived exosomes (ADEs) carrying microRNA-1224 (miR-1224) in M2 macrophage polarization of OATI. METHODS AND RESULTS We developed miR-1224-knockout (miR-1224-KO) mice for this study, and isolated primary adipocytes from high-fat diet (HFD) or normal diet (SD)-fed mice. ADEs were extracted and cocultured with bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). The macrophagic crown-like structures (CLS) and M1 and M2 phenotype macrophages in epididymal white adipose tissue (epiWAT) were observed by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. The obtained data indicated that miR-1224 was highly expressed in adipose tissues and adipocytes of obese mice. miR-1224 knockout decreased CLS number and increased M2 macrophages polarization in epiWAT. In addition, miR-1224 could be transferred to BMDMs via ADEs, which targeted musashi RNA binding protein 2 (MSI2) expression and inactivated Wnt/β-catenin pathway, inhibiting macrophage M2 polarization and promoting inflammatory factor release. CONCLUSION Exosomal miR-1224 derived by adipocytes targets MSI2 and blocks the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which inhibits macrophage M2 polarization and promotes inflammatory factor release, ultimately promoting OATI.

Abstract
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) constitutes a leading cause of cancer death globally. Its mortality remains unaltered despite the considerable scientific progress made in the fields of diagnostics and treatment. Exosomes comprise of small extracellular vesicles secreted by nearly all cells; their cargo contains a vast array of biomolecules, such as proteins and microRNAs. It is currently established that their role as messengers is central to a plethora of both physiologic and pathologic processes. Accumulating data have shed light on their contributions to carcinogenesis, metastasis, and immunological response. Meanwhile, the advancement of personalized targeted therapies into everyday clinical practice necessitates the development of cost-efficient treatment approaches. The role of exosomes is currently being extensively investigated towards this direction. This review aims to summarize the current pre-clinical and clinical evidence regarding the effects of exosomal applications in the timely diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic management of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Inhalation of beryllium and its compounds can cause lung injuries, resulting from inflammation and oxidative stress. Multivesicular bodies (MVB), such as exosomes, are membrane vesicles produced by early and late endosomes that mediate intercellular communications. However, the role of exosomes in beryllium toxicity has not been elucidated. This current study aimed to investigate the functional role of exosomes in lung injury resulting from beryllium sulfate (BeSO4 ). Here, Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were exposed to 4, 8, and 12 mg/kg BeSO4 by non-exposed intratracheal instillation. Murine macrophage (RAW 264.7) cells were pretreated with 50 nmol/L rapamycin (an mTOR signaling pathway inhibitor) for 30 minutes, and then cultured for 24 hours with 100 μg/mL exosomes, which had been previously isolated from the serum of 12 mg/kg BeSO4 -treated SD rats. Compared to those of the controls, exposure to BeSO4 in vivo increased LDH activity, elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γ) alongside inflammation-related proteins expression (COX-2 and iNOS), and enhanced secretion of exosomes from the SD rat's serum. Moreover, the BeSO4 -Exos-induced upregulation of LDH activity and inflammatory responses in RAW 264.7 cells can be alleviated following pretreatment with rapamycin. Collectively, these results suggest that serum exosomes play an important role in pulmonary inflammation induced by BeSO4 in RAW 264.7 cells via the mTOR pathway.

Abstract
Exosomes are a subset of nano-sized extracellular vesicles originating from endosomes. Exosomes mediate cell-to-cell communication with their cargos, which includes mRNAs, miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs. Exosomal RNAs have cell specificity and reflect the conditions of their donor cells. Notably, their detection in biofluids can be used as a diagnostic marker for various diseases. Exosomal RNAs are ideal biomarkers because their surrounding membranes confer stability and they are detectable in almost all biofluids, which helps to reduce trauma and avoid invasive examinations. However, knowledge of exosomal biomarkers remains scarce. The present review summarizes the biogenesis, secretion, and uptake of exosomes, the current researches exploring exosomal mRNAs, miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of human diseases, as well as recent techniques of exosome isolation.

[PMID: 35172728 PMCID: PMC8851843 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-022-02508-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) represents a severe cardiovascular disease with limited therapeutic agents. This study was aimed to elucidate the role of the exosomes derived from human placental mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs-Exos) in MI. METHODS PMSCs were isolated and cultured in vitro, with identification by both transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). To further investigate the effects of PMSC-Exos on MI, C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into Sham group, MI group, and PMSC-Exos group. After 4 weeks of the intervention, cardiac function was assessed by cardiac echocardiography, electrocardiogram and masson trichrome staining; lipid indicators were determined by automatic biochemical instrument; inflammatory cytokines were measured by cytometric bead array (CBA); gut microbiota, microbial metabolites short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were separately investigated by 16S rRNA high throughput sequencing, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and tachypleus amebocyte lysate kit; transcriptome analysis was used to test the transcriptional components (mRNA\miRNA\cirRNA\lncRNA) of PMSC-Exos. RESULTS We found that human PMSC-Exos were obtained and identified with high purity and uniformity. MI model was successfully established. Compared to MI group, PMSC-Exos treatment ameliorated myocardial fibrosis and left ventricular (LV) remodeling (P < 0.05). Moreover, PMSC-Exos treatment obviously decreased MI molecular markers (AST/BNP/MYO/Tn-I/TC), pro-inflammatory indicators (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1), as well as increased HDL in comparison with MI group (all P < 0.05). Intriguingly, PMSC-Exos intervention notably modulated gut microbial community via increasing the relative abundances of Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Actinobacteria, Akkermansia, Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Thauera and Ruminiclostridium, as well as decreasing Firmicutes (all P < 0.05), compared with MI group. Furthermore, PMSC-Exos supplementation increased gut microbiota metabolites SCFAs (butyric acid, isobutyric acid and valeric acid) and decreased LPS in comparison with MI group (all P < 0.05). Correlation analysis indicated close correlations among gut microbiota, microbial SCFAs and inflammation in MI. CONCLUSIONS Our study highlighted that PMSC-Exos intervention alleviated MI via modulating gut microbiota and suppressing inflammation.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a world health problem increasing dramatically. The onset of CKD is driven by several mechanisms; among them, metabolic reprogramming and changes in redox signaling play critical roles in the advancement of inflammation and the subsequent fibrosis, common pathologies observed in all forms of CKD. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived membrane packages strongly associated with cell-cell communication since they transfer several biomolecules that serve as mediators in redox signaling and metabolic reprogramming in the recipient cells. Recent studies suggest that EVs, especially exosomes, the smallest subtype of EVs, play a fundamental role in spreading renal injury in CKD. Therefore, this review summarizes the current information about EVs and their cargos’ participation in metabolic reprogramming and mitochondrial impairment in CKD and their role in redox signaling changes. Finally, we analyze the effects of these EV-induced changes in the amplification of inflammatory and fibrotic processes in the progression of CKD. Furthermore, the data suggest that the identification of the signaling pathways involved in the release of EVs and their cargo under pathological renal conditions can allow the identification of new possible targets of injury spread, with the goal of preventing CKD progression.

Abstract
The incidence of age associated chronic diseases has increased in recent years. Although several diverse causes produce these phenomena, abundant evidence shows that oxidative stress plays a central role. In recent years, numerous studies have focused on elucidating the role of oxidative stress in the development and progression of both aging and chronic diseases, opening the door to the discovery of new underlying mechanisms and signaling pathways. Among them, senolytics and senomorphics, and extracellular vesicles offer new therapeutic strategies to slow the development of aging and its associated chronic diseases by decreasing oxidative stress. In this review, we aim to discuss the role of extracellular vesicles in human cardiorenal syndrome development and their possible role as biomarkers, targets, or vehicles of drugs to treat this syndrome.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), as nano-/micro-scale vehicles, are membranous particles containing various cargoes including peptides, proteins, different types of RNAs and other nucleic acids, and lipids. These vesicles are produced by all cell types, in which stem cells are a potent source for them. Stem cell-derived EVs could be promising platforms for treatment of infectious diseases and early diagnosis. Infectious diseases are responsible for more than 11 million deaths annually. Highly transmissible nature of some microbes, such as newly emerged severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), drives researcher's interest to set up different strategies to develop novel therapeutic strategies. Recently, EVs-based diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have been launched and gaining momentum very fast. The efficiency of stem cell-derived EVs on treatment of clinical complications of different viruses and bacteria, such as SARS-CoV-2, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli has been demonstrated. On the other hand, microbial pathogens are able to incorporate their components into their EVs. The microbe-derived EVs have different physiological and pathological impacts on the other organisms. In this review, we briefly discussed biogenesis and the fate of EVs. Then, EV-based therapy was described and recent developments in understanding the potential application of stem cell-derived EVs on pathogenic microorganisms were recapitulated. Furthermore, the mechanisms by which EVs were exploited to fight against infectious diseases were highlighted. Finally, the deriver challenges in translation of stem cell-derived EVs into the clinical arena were explored.

Hepatic small extracellular vesicles promote microvascular endothelial hyperpermeability during NAFLD via novel-miRNA-7. J Nanobiotechnology 2021; 19:396.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A recent study has reported that patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are more susceptible to coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), which may predict major adverse cardiac events. However, little is known regarding the causes of CMD during NAFLD. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of hepatic small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in regulating the endothelial dysfunction of coronary microvessels during NAFLD. RESULTS We established two murine NAFLD models by feeding mice a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet for 4 weeks or a high-fat diet (HFD) for 16 weeks. We found that the NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-dependent endothelial hyperpermeability occurred in coronary microvessels during both MCD diet and HFD-induced NAFLD. The in vivo and in vitro experiments proved that novel-microRNA(miR)-7-abundant hepatic sEVs were responsible for NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent endothelial barrier dysfunction. Mechanistically, novel-miR-7 directly targeted lysosomal associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) and promotes lysosomal membrane permeability (LMP), which in turn induced Cathepsin B-dependent NLRP3 inflammasome activation and microvascular endothelial hyperpermeability. Conversely, a specific novel-miR-7 inhibitor markedly improved endothelial barrier integrity. Finally, we proved that steatotic hepatocyte was a significant source of novel-miR-7-contained hepatic sEVs, and steatotic hepatocyte-derived sEVs were able to promote NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent microvascular endothelial hyperpermeability through novel-miR-7. CONCLUSIONS Hepatic sEVs contribute to endothelial hyperpermeability in coronary microvessels by delivering novel-miR-7 and targeting the LAMP1/Cathepsin B/NLRP3 inflammasome axis during NAFLD. Our study brings new insights into the liver-to-microvessel cross-talk and may provide a new diagnostic biomarker and treatment target for microvascular complications of NAFLD.

Abstract
Exosomes play a role as mediators of cell-to-cell communication, thus exhibiting pleiotropic activities to homeostasis regulation. Exosomal non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), mainly microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), are closely related to a variety of biological and functional aspects of human health. When the exosomal ncRNAs undergo tissue-specific changes due to diverse internal or external disorders, they can cause tissue dysfunction, aging, and diseases. In this review, we comprehensively discuss the underlying regulatory mechanisms of exosomes in human diseases. In addition, we explore the current knowledge on the roles of exosomal miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs in human health and diseases, including cancers, metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases, to determine their potential implication in biomarker identification and therapeutic exploration.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a type of chronic relapsing inflammatory disease. The pathogenesis of IBD is still unclear, which may involve environmental factors, genetic factors, intestinal microbiota disorder, and abnormal immune responses. Exosomes (30–150 nm) are found in various body fluids, including blood, saliva, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. Exosomes mediate intercellular communication and regulate cell biological activity by carrying non-coding RNAs, proteins, and lipids. There is evidence that exosomes are involved in the pathogenesis of IBD. In view of the important roles of exosomes in the pathogenesis of IBD, this work systematically reviews the latest research progress of exosomes in IBD, especially the roles of exosomes as non-coding RNA delivery systems in the pathogenesis of IBD, including a disordered immune response, barrier function, and intestinal microbiota. The review will help to clarify the pathogenesis of IBD and explore new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for patients with IBD.

Abstract
Mast cells are major effector cells in eliciting allergic responses. They also play a significant role in establishing innate and adaptive immune responses, as well as in modulating tumor growth. Mast cells can be activated upon engagement of the high-affinity receptor FcεRI with specific IgE to multivalent antigens or in response to several FcεRI-independent mechanisms. Upon stimulation, mast cells secrete various preformed and newly synthesized mediators. Emerging evidence indicates their ability to be a rich source of secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, which convey biological functions. Mast cell-derived EVs can interact with and affect other cells located nearby or at distant sites and modulate inflammation, allergic response, and tumor progression. Mast cells are also affected by EVs derived from other cells in the immune system or in the tumor microenvironment, which may activate mast cells to release different mediators. In this review, we summarize the latest data regarding the ability of mast cells to release or respond to EVs and their role in allergic responses, inflammation, and tumor progression. Understanding the release, composition, and uptake of EVs by cells located near to or at sites distant from mast cells in a variety of clinical conditions, such as allergic inflammation, mastocytosis, and lung cancer will contribute to developing novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles secreted by most cells that contain a variety of biological molecules, such as lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. They have been recognized as important mediators for long-distance cell-to-cell communication and are involved in a variety of biological processes. Exosomes have unique advantages, positioning them as highly effective drug delivery tools and providing a distinct means of delivering various therapeutic agents to target cells. In addition, as a new clinical diagnostic biomarker, exosomes play an important role in many aspects of human health and disease, including endocrinology, inflammation, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. In this review, we summarize the development of exosome-based drug delivery tools and the validation of novel biomarkers, and illustrate the role of exosomes as therapeutic targets in the prevention and treatment of various diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic stellate cell (HSC) differentiation/activation is central to liver fibrosis and is innately linked to the immune response to liver injury. Exosomes (EXOs) are important means of communication between cell populations. This study sought to characterize EXO release from HSCs and the effect of HSC-EXOs on macrophage cytokine release/function. METHODS Liver from a rat fibrosis model was analyzed for EXO expression and localization. Quiescent and culture-activated rat and mouse HSCs and activated human HSCs were analyzed for microRNA expression. Mouse, rat, and human HSCs were culture-activated and EXOs purified from culture medium prior to addition to macrophages, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) mRNA and protein measured. The effect of activated HSC-EXOs on macrophage migration was assayed. RESULTS Activation of rat HSCs led to increased EXO production in vivo, an effect mirrored by in vitro rat HSC culture-activation. Culture activation of mouse and rat HSCs led to altered EXO microRNA profiles, with a similar microRNA profile detected in activated human HSCs. Addition of activated HSC-EXOs to macrophages stimulated IL-6 and TNFα mRNA expression and protein secretion in mouse and human macrophages, but not for rat HSC-EXO-macrophages. Addition of human EXOs to macrophages stimulated migration, effects mirrored by the direct addition of rhIL-6 and rhTNFα. CONCLUSIONS HSC-EXOs associate with macrophages and stimulate cytokine synthesis-release and macrophage migration. Constructing a comprehensive understanding of EXO interactions between liver cell populations in the setting of inflammation/fibrosis increases the potential for developing new diagnostic/therapeutic approaches.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:3575. [PMID: 33808259 PMCID: PMC8036647 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18073575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Revised: 03/12/2021] [Accepted: 03/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
In recent years, lipid metabolism has gained greater attention in several diseases including cancer. Dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism is a key component in breast cancer malignant transformation. In particular, de novo lipogenesis provides the substrate required by the proliferating tumor cells to maintain their membrane composition and energetic functions during enhanced growth. However, it appears that not all breast cancer subtypes depend on de novo lipogenesis for fatty acid replenishment. Indeed, while breast cancer luminal subtypes rely on de novo lipogenesis, the basal-like receptor-negative subtype overexpresses genes involved in the utilization of exogenous-derived fatty acids, in the synthesis of triacylglycerols and lipid droplets, and fatty acid oxidation. These metabolic differences are specifically associated with genomic and proteomic changes that can perturb lipogenic enzymes and related pathways. This behavior is further supported by the observation that breast cancer patients can be stratified according to their molecular profiles. Moreover, the discovery that extracellular vesicles act as a vehicle of metabolic enzymes and oncometabolites may provide the opportunity to noninvasively define tumor metabolic signature. Here, we focus on de novo lipogenesis and the specific differences exhibited by breast cancer subtypes and examine the functional contribution of lipogenic enzymes and associated transcription factors in the regulation of tumorigenic processes.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GB) is one of the most malignant types of central nervous system tumours, classified as grade IV by the World Health Organization. Despite the therapeutic advances, the prognosis is ominous, with a median survival of about 12-15 months post diagnosis. Although therapeutic options available can increase the survival, they are ineffective in treating patients with GB. Impairing factors such as the blood-brain barrier, cancer stem cells, and infiltration into brain parenchyma lead to failure of current therapies. Therefore, clinicians need novel/alternative effective strategies to treat GB. Due to their ability to preserve healthy tissues and to provide an effective and long-lasting response, stem cells (SCs) with tropism for tumour cells have attracted considerable attention in the scientific community. As is the case here, SCs can be used to target brain tumour cancer cells, especially high-grade malignant gliomas like GB, by overcoming the resistance and exerting benefits for patients affected with such lethal disease. Herein, we will discuss the research knowledge regarding SC-based therapy for the treatment of GB, focalising our attention on SCs and SC-released extracellular vesicles modified to express/load different antitumour payloads, as well as on SCs exploited as a diagnostic tool. Advantages and unresolved issues of anticancer SC-based therapy will also be considered.

Abstract
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that can participate in autoimmune diseases. The purpose of this study was to explore whether circulating exosomes are involved in Graves' disease (GD) pathogenesis. In this study, serum exosomes were extracted from 26 healthy controls (HC-EXO), 26 GD patients (GD-EXO), and 7 Graves' ophthalmopathy patients (GO-EXO). For each group, the total protein content was detected, and thyrotropin receptor, insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R), heat shock protein 60 (HSP60), and cluster of differentiation (CD) 63 expression were analyzed by Western blotting (WB). Healthy volunteer-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and HC-EXO or GD-EXO were cocultured for 24 h, and immunofluorescence was used to observe the locations of the exosomes and toll-like receptor (TLR) 2/3. CD11c+TLR2+ and CD11c+TLR3+ cell percentages were determined by flow cytometry. Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), toll/interleukin (IL)-1 receptor domain-containing adaptor inducing interferon-β (TRIF) and p-P65 expression were analyzed by WB. IL-6 and IL-1β supernatant levels were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results showed that the total protein concentration was similar among GD-EXO, GO-EXO, and HC-EXO. IGF-1R and HSP60 expression was significantly higher in GD-EXO and GO-EXO than in HC-EXO. After coculturing PBMCs with GD-EXO or HC-EXO for 24 h, GD-EXO could bind to TLR2/3. GD-EXO significantly increased CD11c+TLR2+ and CD11c+TLR3+ cell percentages; MyD88, TRIF, and p-P65 protein expression; and IL-6 and IL-1β levels. In conclusion, we first demonstrated that GD-EXO and GO-EXO highly expressed IGF-1R and HSP60. GD-EXO may induce an inflammatory response through the TLR/NF-κB signaling pathway and be involved in the pathogenesis of GD.

Abstract
Since the first descriptions of hepatocyte-released exosome-like vesicles in 2008, the number of publications describing Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) released by liver cells in the context of hepatic physiology and pathology has grown exponentially. This growing interest highlights both the importance that cell-to-cell communication has in the organization of multicellular organisms from a physiological point of view, as well as the opportunity that these circulating organelles offer in diagnostics and therapeutics. In the present review, we summarize systematically and comprehensively the myriad of works that appeared in the last decade and lighted the discussion about the best opportunities for using EVs in liver disease therapeutics.

Abstract
Obstructive nephropathy favors the progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD), a severe health problem worldwide. The unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model is used to study the development of fibrosis. Impairment of renal mitochondria plays a crucial role in several types of CKD and has been strongly related to fibrosis onset. Nevertheless, in the UUO model, the impairment of mitochondria, their relationship with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induction and the participation of both to induce the fibrotic process remain unclear. In this review, we summarize the current information about mitochondrial bioenergetics, redox dynamics, mitochondrial mass, and biogenesis alterations, as well as the relationship of these mitochondrial alterations with ER stress and their participation in fibrotic processes in UUO models. Early after obstruction, there is metabolic reprogramming related to mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation impairment, triggering lipid deposition, oxidative stress, (calcium) Ca2+ dysregulation, and a reduction in mitochondrial mass and biogenesis. Mitochondria and the ER establish a pathological feedback loop that promotes the impairment of both organelles by ER stress pathways and Ca2+ levels dysregulation. Preserving mitochondrial and ER function can prevent or at least delay the fibrotic process and loss of renal function. However, deeper understanding is still necessary for future clinically-useful therapies.

Abstract
More and more exosome-based therapeutics are being developed with advances in nanotechnology and precision medicine. Exosome is a kind of tiny vesicles with a bilayer of phospholipids, which can transfer biological macromolecules to recipients to influence the biological process. M2 macrophages are closely related to the occurrence and development of serious diseases such as tumor. In addition to the traditional concept of macrophage functions such as opsonization, secretion of cytokines and other soluble factors, some studies have found that the exosome derived from M2 macrophages can influence the development of disease by carrying microRNA, long noncodingRNA and functional proteins to regulate target gene expression as well as related proteins synthesis recently. Here, we outlined the biogenesis of the exosome and its biological functions in disease. Then we focused on elucidating the effects of the exosome derived from M2 macrophages on several diseases and its mechanisms. Finally, we discussed the appropriateness and inappropriateness in existing potential applications based on exosomes and macrophages.

Abstract
Summary: Exosomes are extracellular vesicles released by the vast majority of cell types both in vivo and ex vivo, upon the fusion of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) with the cellular plasma membrane. Two main functions have been attributed to exosomes: their capacity to transport proteins, lipids and nucleic acids between cells and organs, as well as their potential to act as natural intercellular communicators in normal biological processes and in pathologies. From a clinical perspective, the majority of applications use exosomes as biomarkers of disease. A new approach uses exosomes as biologically active carriers to provide a platform for the enhanced delivery of cargo in vivo. One of the major limitations in developing exosome-based therapies is the difficulty of producing sufficient amounts of safe and efficient exosomes. The identification of potential proteins involved in exosome biogenesis is expected to directly cause a deliberate increase in exosome production. In this review, we summarize the current state of knowledge regarding exosomes, with particular emphasis on their structural features, biosynthesis pathways, production techniques and potential clinical applications.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of tumor-derived exosomal RNA eIF4E (exo-eIF4E) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its correlation with prognosis. Material/Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data was exacted to investigate the role of tissue eIF4E in NSCLC. We enrolled 99 NSCLC patients and 40 healthy volunteers with corresponding serum samples in this study. The levels of exo-eIF4E in the peripheral blood of each group were tested by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The chi-squared test and the log-rank test were applied to analyze the correlation between the expression levels of exo-eIF4E and the patients’ clinical-pathological data, including the overall survival. Results TCGA data showed that increased eIF4E in NSCLC tissues was associated with late-stage disease (P=0.0497) and inferior overall survival (P=0.017). The expression of exo-eIF4E in the serum of the NSCLC group was significantly higher than that in healthy individuals (P<0.001). Furthermore, advanced TNM stage (P=0.003), distant metastasis (P=0.008), and serum positive cytokeratin fragment 19 (CYFRA21-1) (P=0.023) are more likely present in NSCLC patients with higher exo-eIF4E expression. Moreover, the multivariate combined with univariate analyses verified exo-eIF4E as an independent prognostic factor for shorter overall survival (P=0.01) and progression-free survival (P=0.005). Shorter overall survival (P=0.0005) and inferior progression-free survival (P=0.0017) are more likely present in NSCLC patients with higher exo-eIF4E. Conclusions Tumor-derived exo-eIF4E in serum can be a practical tool to predict the prognosis of NSCLC.

Abstract
Despite significant efforts made to treat cardiovascular disease (CVD), more than half of cardiovascular events still occur in asymptomatic subjects devoid of traditional risk factors. These observations underscore the need for the identification of new biomarkers for the prevention of atherosclerosis, the main underlying cause of CVD. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and lymphatic vessel function are emerging targets in this context. EVs are small vesicles released by cells upon activation or death that are present in several biological tissues and fluids, including blood and lymph. They interact with surrounding cells to transfer their cargo, and the complexity of their biological content makes these EVs potential key players in several chronic inflammatory settings. Many studies focused on the interaction of EVs with the most well-known players of atherosclerosis such as the vascular endothelium, smooth muscle cells and monocytes. However, the fate of EVs within the lymphatic network, a crucial route in the mobilization of cholesterol out the artery wall, is not known. In this review, we aim to bring forward evidence that EVs could be at the interplay between lymphatic function and atherosclerosis by summarizing the recent findings on the characterization of EVs in this setting.

Abstract
Exosomes are small membranous vesicles implicated in intercellular signalling. Through their uncanny ability to carry and deliver donor cellular cargo (biomolecules) to target cells, they exert a profound effect on the regular functioning of healthy cells and play a significant role in pathogenesis and progression of several diseases, including cancer. The composition and number of endogenously circulating exosomes frequently vary, which is often reflective of the pathophysiological status of the cell. Applicability of exosomes derived from normal cells as a drug carrier with or without modifying their intraluminal and surface components are generally tested. Conversely, exosomes also are reported to contribute to resistance towards several anti-cancer therapies. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the role of exosomes in cancer progression, resistance and the potential use of exosomes as a delivery vehicle of cancer therapeutics. In this review, we summarize the recent advancements in the exploitation of exosomes as a drug delivery vehicle. We also discuss the role of exosomes in conferring resistance to anti-cancer therapeutics. While this review is focused on cancer, the exosome-based drug delivery and resistance is also applicable to other human diseases.

Abstract
Discovered in the late 1980s as an extracellular vesicle of endosomal origin secreted from reticulocytes, exosomes recently gained scientific attention due to its role in intercellular communication. Exosomes have now been identified to carry cell-specific cargo of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and other biologically active molecules. Exosomes can be selectively taken up by neighboring or distant cells, which has shown to result in structural and functional responses in the recipient cells. Recent advances indicate the regulation of exosomes at various steps, including their biogenesis, selection of their cargo, as well as cell-specific uptake. This review will shed light on the differences between the type of extracellular vesicles. In this review, we discuss the recent progress in our understanding of the regulation of exosome biogenesis, secretion, and uptake.
