Abstract
Exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) exhibit considerable therapeutic potential for myocardial regeneration. In our investigation, we delved into their impact on various aspects of myocardial infarction (MI), including cardiac function, tissue damage, inflammation, and macrophage polarization in a murine model. We meticulously isolated the exosomes from TNF-α-treated BMSCs and evaluated their therapeutic efficacy in a mouse MI model induced by coronary artery ligation surgery. Our comprehensive analysis, incorporating ultrasound, serum assessment, Western blot, and qRT-PCR, revealed that exosomes from TNF-α-treated BMSCs demonstrated significant therapeutic potential in reducing MI-induced injury. Treatment with these exosomes resulted in improved cardiac function, reduced infarct area, and increased left ventricular wall thickness in MI mice. On a mechanistic level, exosome treatment fostered M2 macrophage polarization while concurrently suppressing M1 polarization. Hence, exosomes derived from TNF-α-treated BMSCs emerge as a promising therapeutic strategy for alleviating MI injury in a mouse model.

Abstract
Sciatic nerve injury (SNI) is a common type of peripheral nerve injury typically resulting from trauma, such as contusion, sharp force injuries, drug injections, pelvic fractures, or hip dislocations. It leads to both sensory and motor dysfunctions, characterized by pain, numbness, loss of sensation, muscle atrophy, reduced muscle tone, and limb paralysis. These symptoms can significantly diminish a patient's quality of life. Following SNI, Wallerian degeneration occurs, which activates various signaling pathways, inflammatory factors, and epigenetic regulators. Despite the availability of several surgical and nonsurgical treatments, their effectiveness remains suboptimal. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles with diameters ranging from 30 to 150 nm, originating from the endoplasmic reticulum. They play a crucial role in facilitating intercellular communication and have emerged as highly promising vehicles for drug delivery. Increasing evidence supports the significant potential of exosomes in repairing SNI. This review delves into the pathological progression of SNI, techniques for generating exosomes, the molecular mechanisms behind SNI recovery with exosomes, the effectiveness of combining exosomes with other approaches for SNI repair, and the changes and future outlook for utilizing exosomes in SNI recovery.

Identification of porcine fast/slow myogenic exosomes and their regulatory effects on lipid accumulation in intramuscular adipocytes. J Anim Sci Biotechnol 2024; 15:73. [PMID: 38824596 PMCID: PMC11144342 DOI: 10.1186/s40104-024-01029-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pork quality is affected by the type of muscle fibers, which is closely related to meat color, tenderness and juiciness. Exosomes are tiny vesicles with a diameter of approximately 30-150 nm that are secreted by cells and taken up by recipient cells to mediate communication. Exosome-mediated muscle-fat tissue crosstalk is a newly discovered mechanism that may have an important effect on intramuscular fat deposition and with that on meat quality. Various of adipose tissue-derived exosomes have been discovered and identified, but the identification and function of muscle exosomes, especially porcine fast/slow myotube exosomes, remain unclear. Here, we first isolated and identified exosomes secreted from porcine extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus (SOL), which represent fast and slow muscle, respectively, and further explored their effects on lipid accumulation in longissimus dorsi adipocytes. RESULTS Porcine SOL-derived exosomes (SOL-EXO) and EDL-derived exosomes (EDL-EXO) were first identified and their average particle sizes were approximately 84 nm with double-membrane disc- shapes as observed via transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, the intramuscular fat content of the SOL was greater than that of the EDL at 180 days of age, because SOL intramuscular adipocytes had a stronger lipid-accumulating capacity than those of the EDL. Raman spectral analysis revealed that SOL-EXO protein content was much greater than that of EDL-EXO. Proteomic sequencing identified 72 proteins that were significantly differentially expressed between SOL-EXO and EDL-EXO, 31 of which were downregulated and 41 of which were upregulated in SOL-EXO. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that muscle-fat tissue interactions occur partly via SOL-EXO promoting adipogenic activity of intramuscular adipocytes.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common invasive cancer in women. M2 macrophage exosomes promote cancer development and play multiple roles in the tumor microenvironment, but the mechanism of action by which M2 macrophage exosomes promote BC remains unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism by which M2 macrophage-derived exosomes promote the development of breast cancer. We collected BC tissues and determined the expression of LINC00470, followed by the establishment of M2 macrophages in culture and the isolation and identification of M2 macrophage exosomes. Next, we investigated the effects of M2 macrophage exosomes on BC cell proliferation, invasion, miR-199a-3p promoter methylation, and the expression of LINC00470, myc, DNMT3A, and miR-199a-3p. Finally, LINC00470 expression was inhibited in M2 macrophage exosomes, while miR-199a-3p expression was inhibited in BC cells, and changes in BC cell proliferation, invasion, miR-199a-3p promoter methylation, and the expression of LINC00470, myc, DNMT3A, and miR-199a-3p were analyzed. We demonstrated that LINC00470 was highly expressed in BC tissues, M2-type macrophages were successfully induced in vitro, and Dil-labeled M2 macrophage exosomes could successfully enter MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. Coculture of M2 macrophage exosomes with MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells significantly enhanced the proliferation and invasion of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells, upregulated the expression of LINC00470, myc, and DNMT3A and downregulated the expression of miR-199a-3p. Moreover, the inhibition of LINC00470 expression in M2 macrophage exosomes significantly downregulated the expression of LINC00470, myc, and DNMT3A in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells, upregulated the expression of miR-199a-3p, and hypomethylated the promoter of the miR-199a-3p locus. Moreover, inhibition of LINC00470 expression in M2 macrophage-derived exosomes significantly attenuated the proliferation and invasive ability of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells, while miR-199a-3p inhibitor transfection reversed this effect. Collectively, these findings indicated that M2-type macrophage-derived exosomes promote BC proliferation and migration by regulating miR-199a-3p promoter methylation through the LINC00470-mediated myc/DNMT3a axis.

Abstract
Articular cartilage injuries present a significant global challenge, particularly in the aging population. These injuries not only restrict movement due to primary damage but also exacerbate elderly degenerative lesions, leading to secondary cartilage injury and osteoarthritis. Addressing osteoarthritis and cartilage damage involves overcoming several technical challenges in biological treatment. The use of induced mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs) with functional gene modifications emerges as a solution, providing a more stable and controllable source of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) with reduced heterogeneity. Furthermore, In addition, this review encompasses strategies aimed at enhancing exosome efficacy, comprising the cultivation of MSCs in three-dimensional matrices, augmentation of functional constituents within MSC-derived exosomes, and modification of their surface characteristics. Finally, we delve into the mechanisms through which MSC-exosomes, sourced from diverse tissues, thwart osteoarthritis (OA) progression and facilitate cartilage repair. This review lays a foundational framework for engineering iMSC-exosomes treatment of patients suffering from osteoarthritis and articular cartilage injuries, highlighting cutting-edge research and potential therapeutic pathways.

Abstract
Exosome-based therapy has emerged as a promising strategy for addressing diverse disorders, indicating the need for further exploration of the potential therapeutic effects of the exosome cargos. This study introduces "enhanced exosomes", a novel type of exosomes developed through a novel cell culture system. These specific exosomes may become potent therapeutic agents for treating ovarian disorders. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the protein and miRNA cargo compositions of enhanced exosomes and naïve exosomes. Our findings revealed distinct cargo compositions in enhanced exosomes, featuring upregulated proteins such as EFEMP1, HtrA1, PAM, and SDF4, suggesting their potential for treating ovarian disorders. MicroRNA profiling revealed that miR-1-3p, miR-103a-3p, miR-122-5p, miR-1271-5p, miR-133a-3p, miR-184, miR-203a-3p, and miR-206 are key players in regulating ovarian cancer and chemosensitivity by affecting cell cycle progression, cell proliferation, and cell development. We examined polycystic ovary syndrome and premature ovarian insufficiency and identified the altered expression of various miRNAs, such as miR-125b-5p and miR-130b-3p, for diagnostic insights. This study highlights the potential of enhanced exosomes as new therapeutic agents for women's reproductive health, offering a detailed understanding of the impact of their cargo on ovarian disorders.

Abstract
Obesity is a global health crisis that contributes to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Obesity's comorbid association with a variety of diseases, from metabolic syndrome to neurodegenerative disease, underscores the critical need to better understand the pathobiology of obesity. Adipose tissue, once seen as an inert storage depot, is now recognized as an active endocrine organ, regulating metabolic and systemic homeostasis. Recent studies spotlight the theranostic utility of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as novel biomarkers and drivers of disease, including obesity-related complications. Adipose-derived EVs (ADEVs) have garnered increased interest for their roles in diverse diseases, however robust isolation and characterization protocols for human, cell-specific EV subsets are limited. Herein, we directly address this technical challenge by establishing a multiparametric analysis framework that leverages bulk and single EV characterization, mRNA phenotyping and proteomics of human ADEVs directly from paired visceral adipose tissue, cultured mature adipocyte conditioned media, and plasma from obese subjects undergoing bariatric surgery. Importantly, rigorous EV phenotyping at the tissue and cell-specific level identified top 'adipose liquid biopsy' candidates that were validated in circulating plasma EVs from the same patient. In summary, our study paves the way toward a tissue and cell-specific, multiparametric framework for studying tissue and circulating adipose EVs in obesity-driven disease.

Abstract
Viruses have developed many mechanisms by which they can stimulate or inhibit inflammation and cause various diseases, including viral respiratory diseases that kill many people every year. One of the mechanisms that viruses use to induce or inhibit inflammation is exosomes. Exosomes are small membrane nanovesicles (30-150 nm) released from cells that contain proteins, DNA, and coding and non-coding RNA species. They are a group of extracellular vesicles that cells can take up to produce and mediate communication. Intercellular effect exosomes can deliver a broad confine of biological molecules, containing nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, to the target cell, where they can convey therapeutic or pathogenic consequences through the modulation of inflammation and immune processes. Recent research has shown that exosomes can deliver entire virus genomes or virions to distant target cells, then the delivered viruses can escape the immune system and infect cells. Adenoviruses, orthomyxoviruses, paramyxoviruses, respiratory syncytial viruses, picornaviruses, coronaviruses, and rhinoviruses are mostly related to respiratory diseases. In this article, we will first discuss the current knowledge of exosomes. We will learn about the relationship between exosomes and viral infections, and We mention the inflammations caused by viruses in the airways, the role of exosomes in them, and finally, we examine the relationship between the viruses as mentioned earlier, and the regulation of inflammatory pathways that play a role in causing the disease.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a catastrophic injury to the central nervous system (CNS) that can lead to sensory and motor dysfunction, which seriously affects patients' quality of life and imposes a major economic burden on society. The pathological process of SCI is divided into primary and secondary injury, and secondary injury is a cascade of amplified responses triggered by the primary injury. Due to the complexity of the pathological mechanisms of SCI, there is no clear and effective treatment strategy in clinical practice. Exosomes, which are extracellular vesicles of endoplasmic origin with a diameter of 30-150 nm, play a critical role in intercellular communication and have become an ideal vehicle for drug delivery. A growing body of evidence suggests that exosomes have great potential for repairing SCI. In this review, we introduce exosome preparation, functions, and administration routes. In addition, we summarize the effect and mechanism by which various exosomes repair SCI and review the efficacy of exosomes in combination with other strategies to repair SCI. Finally, the challenges and prospects of the use of exosomes to repair SCI are described.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles released from various cell types that have emerged as powerful new therapeutic option for a variety of diseases. EVs are involved in the transmission of biological signals between cells and in the regulation of a variety of biological processes, highlighting them as potential novel targets/platforms for therapeutics intervention and/or delivery. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate new aspects of EVs' biogenesis, biodistribution, metabolism, and excretion as well as safety/compatibility of both unmodified and engineered EVs upon administration in different pharmaceutical dosage forms and delivery systems. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of essential physiological and pathological roles of EVs in different organs and organ systems. We provide an overview regarding application of EVs as therapeutic targets, therapeutics, and drug delivery platforms. We also explore various approaches implemented over the years to improve the dosage of specific EV products for different administration routes.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle and adipose tissues (ATs) are secretory organs that release secretory factors including cytokines and exosomes. These factors mediate muscle-adipose crosstalk to regulate systemic metabolism via paracrine and endocrine pathways. Myokines and adipokines are cytokines secreted by skeletal muscle and ATs, respectively. Exosomes loaded with nucleic acids, proteins, lipid droplets, and organelles can fuse with the cytoplasm of target cells to perform regulatory functions. A major regulatory component of exosomes is miRNA. In addition, numerous novel myokines and adipokines have been identified through technological innovations. These discoveries have identified new biomarkers and sparked new insights into the molecular regulation of skeletal muscle growth and adipose deposition. The knowledge may contribute to potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets in metabolic disease.

Abstract
As time goes by, the morbidity of diabetes mellitus continues to rise, and the economic burden of diabetic foot ulcers as a common and serious complication of diabetes is increasing. However, currently there is no unified clinical treatment strategy for this complication, and the therapeutic efficacy is unsatisfactory. Recent studies have revealed that biological effects of exosomes involved in multiple stages of the process of wound closure are similar to source cells. Compared with source cells, exosomes possess lowly immunogenicity, highly stability and easily stored, etc. Accumulating evidence confirmed that exosomes promote diabetic wound healing through various pathways such as promoting angiogenesis, collagen fiber deposition, and inhibiting inflammation. The superior therapeutic efficacy of exosomes in accelerating diabetic cutaneous wound healing has attracted an increasing attention. Notably, the molecular mechanisms of exosomes vary among different sources in the chronic wound closure of diabetes. This review focuses on the specific roles and mechanisms of different cell- or tissue-derived exosomes relevant to wound healing. Additionally, the paper provides an overview of the current pre-clinical and clinical applications of exosomes, illustrates their special advantages in wound repair. Furthermore, we discuss the potential obstacles and various solutions for future research on exosomes in the management of diabetic foot ulcer. The aim is to offer novel insights and approaches for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer.

Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Exosomes Antagonize the Inhibitory Effect of Dihydrotestosterone on Hair Follicle Growth by Activating Wnt/ β-Catenin Pathway. Stem Cells Int 2023; 2023:5548112. [PMID: 37810630 PMCID: PMC10551537 DOI: 10.1155/2023/5548112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The most prevalent type of alopecia is androgenetic alopecia (AGA), which has a high prevalence but no effective treatment. Elevated dihydrotestosterone (DHT) level in the balding area was usually thought to be critical in the pathophysiology of AGA. The canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a key role in promoting hair follicle development and sustaining the hair follicle cycle. Adipose-derived stem cell exosomes (ADSC-Exos) are widely used in the field of regenerative medicine due to the advantages of being cell free and immune privileged. Still, few studies have reported the therapeutic effect on hair disorders. As a result, we sought to understand how ADSC-Exos affected hair growth and explore the possibility that ADSC-Exos could counteract the hair-growth-inhibiting effects of DHT. This research using human hair follicle organs, in vitro dermal papilla cells, and in vivo animal models showed that ADSC-Exos not only encouraged healthy hair growth but also counteracted the inhibitory effects of DHT on hair growth. Additionally, we discovered that ADSC-Exos increased Ser9 phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β levels and facilitated nuclear translocation of β-catenin, which may have been blocked by the specific Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway inhibitor dickkopf-related protein 1. Our findings suggested that ADSC-Exos are essential for hair regeneration, which is anticipated to open up new therapeutic possibilities for clinical alopecia, particularly for the treatment of AGA.

Abstract
The slow healing and nonhealing of diabetic wounds have long posed challenges for clinical practitioners. In the presence of elevated glucose levels, the body's regulatory mechanisms undergo alterations that impede normal wound healing processes, including cell proliferation, cytokine release, and growth factor activity. Consequently, the advancement of stem cell technology has sparked growing interest in utilizing stem cells and their derivatives as potential therapeutic agents to enhance diabetic wound healing. This paper aims to provide an academic review of the therapeutic effects of adipose-derived stem cell-EXOs (ADSC-EXOs) in diabetic wound healing. As a cell-free therapy, exosomes (EXOs) possess a multitude of proteins and growth factors that have been shown to be advantageous in promoting wound healing and mitigating the potential risks associated with stem cell therapy. By examining the current knowledge on ADSC-EXOs, this review seeks to offer insights and guidance for the potential application of EXOs in the treatment of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Serum amyloid A (SAA) subtypes 1-3 are well-described acute phase reactants that are elevated in acute inflammatory conditions such as infection, tissue injury, and trauma, while SAA4 is constitutively expressed. SAA subtypes also have been implicated as playing roles in chronic metabolic diseases including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and possibly in autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Distinctions between the expression kinetics of SAA in acute inflammatory responses and chronic disease states suggest the potential for differentiating SAA functions. Although circulating SAA levels can rise up to 1,000-fold during an acute inflammatory event, elevations are more modest (∼5-fold) in chronic metabolic conditions. The majority of acute-phase SAA derives from the liver, while in chronic inflammatory conditions SAA also derives from adipose tissue, the intestine, and elsewhere. In this review, roles for SAA subtypes in chronic metabolic disease states are contrasted to current knowledge about acute phase SAA. Investigations show distinct differences between SAA expression and function in human and animal models of metabolic disease, as well as sexual dimorphism of SAA subtype responses.

Abstract
Introduction: Lung cancer has long been at the forefront of all cancers in terms of incidence and mortality. Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for 40% of all lung cancer types. Exosomes can act as biomarkers of tumors and thus play an important role. Methods: In this article, high-throughput sequencing of miRNAs in plasma exosomes from lung adenocarcinoma patients and healthy individuals was performed to obtain 87 upregulated miRNAs, which were then combined with data from the GSE137140 database uploaded by others for screening. The database included 1566 preoperative lung cancer patients, 180 postoperative patients, and 1774 non-cancerous controls. We overlapped the miRNAs upregulated in the serum of lung cancer patients in the database relative to those of non-cancer controls and post-operative patients with the upregulated miRNAs obtained from our next-generation sequencing to obtain nine miRNAs. Two miRNAs that were not reported as tumor markers in lung cancer, hsa-miR-4454 and hsa-miR-619-5p, were selected from them and then validated by qRT-PCR, and further analysis of miRNAs was performed using bioinformatics. Results: Real-time quantitative PCR showed that the expression levels of hsa-miR-4454 and hsa-miR-619-5p in plasma exosomes of patients with lung adenocarcinoma were significantly up-regulated. The AUC values of hsa-miR-619-5p and hsa-miR-4454 were 0.906 and 0.975, respectively, both greater than 0.5, showing good performance. The target genes of miRNAs were screened by bioinformatics methods, and the regulatory network between miRNAs and lncRNAs and mRNAs was studied. Discussion: Our work demonstrated that hsa-miR-4454 and hsa-miR-619-5p have the potential to be used as biomarkers for the early diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Although the clinical application and transformation of exosomes are still in the exploration stage, the prospects are promising and have a profound impact on the future transformation medicine of exosomes. However, due to the limitation of production and poor targeting ability of exosomes, the extensive and rich biological functions of exosomes are restricted, and the potential of clinical transformation is limited. The current research is committed to solving the above problems and expanding the clinical application value, but it lacks an extensive, multi-angle, and comprehensive systematic summary and prospect. Therefore, we reviewed the current optimization strategies of exosomes in medical applications, including the exogenous treatment of parent cells and the improvement of extraction methods, and compared their advantages and disadvantages. Subsequently, the targeting ability was improved by carrying drugs and engineering the structure of exosomes to solve the problem of poor targeting ability in clinical transformation. In addition, we discussed other problems that may exist in the application of exosomes. Although the clinical application and transformation of exosomes are still in the exploratory stage, the prospects are promising and have a profound impact on drug delivery, clinical diagnosis and treatment, and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs), including cardiovascular disease (CVD), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and type 2 diabetes (T2D), are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The growing prevalence of CVD is mostly attributed to the aging population and common occurrence of risk factors, such as high systolic blood pressure, elevated plasma glucose, and increased body mass index, which led to a global epidemic of obesity, MetS, and T2D. Oxidant–antioxidant balance disorders largely contribute to the pathogenesis and outcomes of CMDs, such as systemic essential hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke, and MetS. Enhanced and disturbed generation of reactive oxygen species in excess adipose tissue during obesity may lead to increased oxidative stress. Understanding the interplay between adiposity, oxidative stress, and cardiometabolic risks can have translational impacts, leading to the identification of novel effective strategies for reducing the CMDs burden. The present review article is based on extant results from basic and clinical studies and specifically addresses the various aspects associated with oxidant–antioxidant balance disorders in the course of CMDs in subjects with excess adipose tissue accumulation. We aim at giving a comprehensive overview of existing knowledge, knowledge gaps, and future perspectives for further basic and clinical research. We provide insights into both the mechanisms and clinical implications of effects related to the interplay between adiposity and oxidative stress for treating and preventing CMDs. Future basic research and clinical trials are needed to further examine the mechanisms of adiposity-enhanced oxidative stress in CMDs and the efficacy of antioxidant therapies for reducing risk and improving outcome of patients with CMDs.

The profile of circulating extracellular vesicles depending on the age of the donor potentially drives the rejuvenation or senescence fate of hematopoietic stem cells. Exp Gerontol 2023; 175:112142.

Abstract
Blood donor age has become a major concern due to the age-associated variations in the content and concentration of circulating extracellular nano-sized vesicles (EVs), including exosomes. These EVs mirror the state of their parental cells and transfer it to the recipient cells via biological messengers such as microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs). Since the behavior of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is potentially affected by the miRs of plasma-derived EVs, a better understanding of the content of EVs is important for the safety and efficacy perspectives in blood transfusion medicine. Herein, we investigated whether the plasma-derived EVs of young (18-25 years) and elderly human donors (45-60 years) can deliver "youth" or "aging" signals into human umbilical cord blood (hUCB)-derived HSCs in vitro. The results showed that EVs altered the growth functionality and differentiation of HSCs depending on the age of the donor from which they are derived. EVs of young donors could ameliorate the proliferation and self-renewal potential of HSCs whereas those of aged donors induced senescence-associated differentiation in the target cells, particularly toward the myeloid lineage. These findings were confirmed by flow cytometric analysis of surface markers and microarray profiling of genes related to stemness (e.g., SOX-1, Nanog) and differentiation (e.g., PU-1). The results displayed an up-regulation of miR-29 and miR-96 and a down-regulation of miR-146 in EVs derived from elderly donors. The higher expression of miR-29 and miR-96 contributed to the diminished expression of CDK-6 and CDKN1A (p21), promoting senescence fate via cell growth suppression, while the lower expression of miR-146 positively regulates TRAF-6 expression to accelerate biological aging. Our findings reveal that plasma-derived EVs from young donors can reverse the aging-associated changes in HSCs, while vice versa, the EVs from elderly donors rather promote the senescence process.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived membrane vesicles which play an important role in cell-to-cell communication and physiology. EVs deliver biological information from producing to recipient cells by transport of different cargo such as proteins, mRNAs, microRNAs, non-coding RNAs and lipids. Adipose tissue EVs could regulate metabolic and inflammatory interactions inside adipose tissue depots as well as distal tissues. Thus, adipose tissue EVs are assumed to be implicated in obesity-associated pathologies, notably in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study we for the first time characterize EVs secreted by visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) of patients with obesity and T2DM with standard methods as well as analyze their morphology with cryo-electron microscopy. Cryo-electron microscopy allowed us to visualize heterogeneous population of EVs of various size and morphology including single EVs and EVs with internal membrane structures in samples from obese patients as well from the control group. Single vesicles prevailed (up to 85% for SAT, up to 75% for VAT) and higher proportion of EVs with internal membrane structures compared to SAT was typical for VAT. Decreased size of single and double SAT EVs compared to VAT EVs, large proportion of multilayered EVs and all EVs with internal membrane structures secreted by VAT distinguished obese patients with/without T2DM from the control group. These findings could support the idea of modified biogenesis of EVs during obesity and T2DM.

Abstract
Tendon-bone insertion (TBI) injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament injury and rotator cuff injury, are the most common soft tissue injuries. In most situations, surgical tendon/ligament reconstruction is necessary for treating such injuries. However, a significant number of cases failed because healing of the enthesis occurs through scar tissue formation rather than the regeneration of transitional tissue. In recent years, the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been well documented in animal and clinical studies, such as chronic paraplegia, non-ischemic heart failure, and osteoarthritis of the knee. MSCs are multipotent stem cells, which have self-renewability and the ability to differentiate into a wide variety of cells such as chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and adipocytes. Numerous studies have suggested that MSCs could promote angiogenesis and cell proliferation, reduce inflammation, and produce a large number of bioactive molecules involved in the repair. These effects are likely mediated by the paracrine mechanisms of MSCs, particularly through the release of exosomes. Exosomes, nano-sized extracellular vesicles (EVs) with a lipid bilayer and a membrane structure, are naturally released by various cell types. They play an essential role in intercellular communication by transferring bioactive lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, such as mRNAs and miRNAs, between cells to influence the physiological and pathological processes of recipient cells. Exosomes have been shown to facilitate tissue repair and regeneration. Herein, we discuss the prospective applications of MSC-derived exosomes in TBI injuries. We also review the roles of MSC-EVs and the underlying mechanisms of their effects on promoting tendon-bone healing. At last, we discuss the present challenges and future research directions.

Abstract
Solid organ and composite tissue allotransplanation have been widely applied to treat end-stage organ failure and massive tissue defects, respectively. Currently there are a lot of research endeavors focusing on induction of transplantation tolerance, to relieve the burden derived from long-term immunosuppressant uptake. The mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated with potent immunomodulatory capacities and applied as promising cellular therapeutics to promote allograft survival and induce tolerance. As a rich source of adult MSCs, adipose tissue provides additional advantages of easy accessibility and good safety profile. In recent years, the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) isolated from adipose tissues following enzymatic or mechanical processing without in vitro culture and expansion has demonstrated immunomodulatory and proangiogenic properties. Furthermore, the secretome of AD-MSCs has been utilized in transplantation field as a potential "cell-free" therapeutics. This article reviews recent studies that employ these adipose-derived therapeutics, including AD-MSCs, SVF, and secretome, in various aspects of organ and tissue allotransplantation. Most reports validate their efficacies in prolonging allograft survival. Specifically, the SVF and secretome have performed well for graft preservation and pretreatment, potentially through their proangiogenic and antioxidative capacities. In contrast, AD-MSCs were suitable for peri-transplantation immunosuppression. The proper combination of AD-MSCs, lymphodepletion and conventional immunosuppressants could consistently induce donor-specific tolerance to vascularized composite allotransplants (VCA). For each type of transplantation, optimizing the choice of therapeutics, timing, dose, and frequency of administration may be required. Future progress in the application of adipose-derived therapeutics to induce transplantation tolerance will be further benefited by continued research into their mechanisms of action and the development of standardized protocols for isolation methodologies, cell culture, and efficacy evaluation.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells are expected to be applied to regenerative medicine for various incurable diseases including liver cirrhosis. Although microRNAs contained in extracellular vesicles (EV-miRNAs) have been implicated in their regenerative effects, the precise mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Tamoxifen-inducible adipocyte-specific insulin receptor knockout (iFIRKO) mice are known to exhibit acute adipose tissue regeneration with increased numbers of adipose stem and progenitor cells (ASPCs). Because adipose tissue is the major source of circulating EV-miRNAs, we investigated alterations in serum EV-miRNAs in iFIRKO mice. A comprehensive analysis using miRNA sequencing on serum EVs revealed that most EV-miRNAs were decreased due to the loss of mature adipocytes, but there were 19 EV-miRNAs that were increased in the serum of iFIRKO mice. Among them, miR-144-3p and miR-486a-3p were found to be increased in the liver as well as serum EVs. While the expression levels of pri-miR-144-3p and pri-miR-486a-3p were not increased in the liver, they were elevated in the adipose tissue, suggesting that these miRNAs may be delivered from ASPCs increased in the adipose tissue to the liver via EVs. Increased hepatocyte proliferation was observed in the liver of iFIRKO mice, and we found that both miR-144-3p and miR-486a-3p have a function to promote hepatocyte proliferation by suppressing Txnip expression as a target gene. miR-144-3p and miR-486a-3p can be candidate therapeutic tools for conditions requiring hepatocyte proliferation, such as liver cirrhosis, and our current study suggests that examining EV-miRNAs secreted in vivo may lead to the discovery of miRNAs involved in regenerative medicine that have not been identified by in vitro analysis.

Abstract
Due to its prominent secretory activity, adipose tissue (AT) is now considered a major player in the crosstalk between organs, especially with skeletal muscle. In which, exosomes are effective carriers for the intercellular material transfer of a wide range of molecules that can influence a series of physiological and pathological processes in recipient cells. Considering their underlying roles, the regulatory mechanisms of adipose-secreted exosomes and their cellular crosstalk with skeletal muscle have received great attention in the field. In this review, we describe what is currently known of adipose-secreted exosomes, as well as their applications in skeletal muscle pathophysiology.

Abstract
A wound occurs when the epidermis and dermis of the skin are damaged internally and externally. The traditional wound healing method is unsatisfactory, which will prolong the treatment time and increase the treatment cost, which brings economic and psychological burdens to patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new method to accelerate wound healing. As a cell-free therapy, exosome derived from stem cell (EdSC) offers new possibilities for wound healing. EdSC is the smallest extracellular vesicle secreted by stem cells with diameters of 30–150 nm and a lipid bilayer structure. Previous studies have found that EdSC can participate in and promote almost all stages of wound healing, including regulating inflammatory cells; improving activation of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells; and adjusting the ratio of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ. We reviewed the relevant knowledge of wounds; summarized the biogenesis, isolation, and identification of exosomes; and clarified the pharmacological role of exosomes in promoting wound healing. This review provides knowledge support for the pharmacological study of exosomes.

Abstract
Exosomes are widely distributed extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are currently a major research hotspot for researchers based on their wide range of sources, stable membrane structure, low immunogenicity, and containing a variety of biomolecules. A large number of literatures have shown that exosomes and exosome cargoes (especially microRNAs) play an important role in the activation of inflammation, development of tumor, differentiation of cells, regulation of immunity and so on. Studies have found that exosomes can stimulate the immune response of the body and participate in the occurrence and development of various diseases, including autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, the potential of exosomes as therapeutic tools in various diseases has also attracted much attention. Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is one of the most common autoimmune diseases, mainly composed of Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), which affects the health of many people and has a genetic predisposition, but its pathogenesis is still being explored. Starting from the relevant biological characteristics of exosomes, this review summarizes the current research status of exosomes and the association between exosomes and some diseases, with a focus on the situation of AITD and the potential role of exosomes (including substances in their vesicles) in AITD in combination with the current published literature, aiming to provide new directions for the pathogenesis, diagnosis or therapy of AITD.Supplemental data for this article is available online at.
