Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although the effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (ADSC-exos) on wound healing with different doses are shown in various studies, efficient and sufficient doses of ADSC-exos are still unknown. The study aimed to determine the optimal dose of ADSC-exos in wound healing. METHODS The 45 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups, with seven animals in each. After dorsal circular defects were created, each wound was injected as follows: group 1: saline, group 2: 10 μg/mL of ADSC-exos, group 3: 100 μg/mL of ADSC-exos, group 4: 200 μg/mL of ADSC-exos, and group 5: 400 μg/mL of ADSC-exos. The effects of ADSC-exos on epithelization, angiogenesis, and collagen formation were analyzed macroscopically, histopathologically, and immunohistochemically on day 14. RESULTS A total of 200 μg/mL and 400 μg/mL ADSC-exos groups had higher epithelial tongue length, epithelial tongue area, and angiogenesis scores than the other groups. Although there was no statistical difference in fibrosis scores among groups, collagen fibers were becoming well-organized as the ADSC-exos doses increased. While the wound area was clinically smaller in the 200 μg/mL ADSC-exos group, there was no statistically significant difference among groups on day 14. CONCLUSIONS A total of 200 μg/mL of ADSC-exos was found to be the adequate and effective dose for re-epithelialization and angiogenesis in cutaneous wound healing. Moreover, the collagen density increased with a more regular pattern in the 200 μg/mL group, which can be important in scar regulation.

Abstract
We aim to investigate the effect of RVG-Lamp2b-modified exosomes (exos) loaded with neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) on facial nerve injury. Exos were collected from control cells (Ctrl Exo) or bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells co-transfected with RVG-Lamp2b and NT-3 plasmids (RVG-NT-3 Exo) by gradient centrifugation and identified by western blotting, transmission electron microscopy, and nanoparticle tracking analysis. Effect of RVG-NT-3 Exo on oxidative stress damage was determined by analysis of the morphology, viability, and ROS production of neurons. Effect of RVG-NT-3 Exo on facial nerve axotomy (FNA) was determined by detecting ROS production, neuroinflammatory reaction, microglia activation, facial motor neuron (FMN) death, and myelin sheath repair. Loading NT-3 and modifying with RVG-Lamp2b did not alter the properties of the exos. Moreover, RVG-NT-3 Exo could effectively target neurons to deliver NT-3. Treatment with RVG-NT-3 Exo lowered H2O2-induced oxidative stress damage in primary neurons and Nsc-34 cells. RVG-NT-3 Exo treatment significantly decreased ROS production, neuroinflammatory response, FMN death, and elevated microglia activation and myelin sheath repair in FNA rat models. Our findings suggested that RVG-NT-3 Exo-mediated delivery of NT-3 is effective for the treatment of facial nerve injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a clinical manifestation of hypoxic respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, COVID-19 still lacks of effective clinical treatments so far. As a promising potential treatment against COVID-19, stem cell therapy raised recently and had attracted much attention. Here we review the mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cell-based treatments against COVID-19, and provide potential cues for the effective control of COVID-19 in the future. METHODS Literature is obtained from databases PubMed and Web of Science. Key words were chosen for COVID- 19, acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, mesenchymal stem cells, stem cell therapy, and therapeutic mechanism. Then we summarize and critically analyze the relevant articles retrieved. RESULTS Mesenchymal stem cell therapy is a potential effective treatment against COVID-19. Its therapeutic efficacy is mainly reflected in reducing severe pulmonary inflammation, reducing lung injury, improving pulmonary function, protecting and repairing lung tissue of the patients. Possible therapeutic mechanisms might include immunoregulation, anti-inflammatory effect, tissue regeneration, anti-apoptosis effect, antiviral, and antibacterial effect, MSC - EVs, and so on. CONCLUSION Mesenchymal stem cells can effectively treat COVID-19 through immunoregulation, anti-inflammatory, tissue regeneration, anti-apoptosis, anti-virus and antibacterial, MSC - EVs, and other ways. Systematically elucidating the mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cell-based treatments for COVID-19 will provide novel insights into the follow-up research and development of new therapeutic strategies in next step.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are a major complication in patients with diabetes. Here, we identify a therapeutic circRNA and load it into small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) to treat diabetic wounds in preclinical models. We show that circCDK13 can stimulate the proliferation and migration of human dermal fibroblasts and human epidermal keratinocytes by interacting with insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 in an N6-Methyladenosine-dependent manner to enhance CD44 and c-MYC expression. We engineered sEVs that overexpress circCDK13 and show that local subcutaneous injection into male db/db diabetic mouse wounds and wounds of streptozotocin-induced type I male diabetic rats could accelerate wound healing and skin appendage regeneration. Our study demonstrates that the delivery of circCDK13 in sEVs may present an option for diabetic wound treatment.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant public health problem and is one of the most challenging medical conditions worldwide. It is the severe complications that make this disease more intricate. A diabetic wound is one of these complications. Patients with diabetes are at higher risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Due to the ineffectiveness of Conventional treatments, growth in limb amputation, morbidity, and mortality have been recognized, which indicates the need for additional treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can significantly improve wound healing. However, there are some risks related to stem cell therapy. Exosome therapy is a new treatment option for diabetic wounds that has shown promising results. However, an even more advanced form called cell-free therapy using exosomes has emerged. This upgraded version of stem cell therapy offers improved efficacy and eliminates the risk of cancer progression. Exosome therapy promotes wound healing from multiple angles, unlike traditional methods that primarily rely on the body's self-healing ability and only provide wound protection. Therefore, exosome therapy has the potential to replace conventional treatments effectively. However, further research is necessary to distinguish the optimal type of stem cells for therapy, ensure their safety, establish appropriate dosing, and identify the best management trail. The present study focused on the current literature on diabetic wound ulcers, their treatment, and mesenchymal stem cell and exosome therapy potential in DFU.

Abstract
Exosome therapy holds great promise as a novel approach to improve acute skin wound healing. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of exosome biology and its potential applications in acute skin wound healing and beyond. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles secreted by various stem cells, have emerged as potent mediators of intercellular communication and tissue repair. One advantage of exosome therapy is its ability to avoid potential risks associated with stem cell therapy, such as immune rejection or stem cells differentiating into unwanted cell types. However, further research is necessary to optimize exosome therapy, not only in the areas of exosome isolation, characterization, and engineering, but also in determining the optimal dose, timing, administration, and frequency of exosome therapy. Thus, optimization of exosome therapy is critical for the development of more effective and safer exosome-based therapies for acute skin wound healing and other diseases induced by cancer, ischemia, or inflammation. This review provides valuable insights into the potential of exosome therapy and highlights the need for further research to optimize exosome therapy for clinical use.

Recombinant human collagen I/carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogel loaded with long-term released hUCMSCs derived exosomes promotes skin wound repair. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:130843. [PMID: 38484819 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stem cell exosomes are beneficial in accelerating wound repair. However, the therapeutic function is limited due to its rapid clearance in vivo. To improve the functionality of exosomes in cutaneous wound healing, a novel hydrogel was designed and fabricated by recombinant human collagen I and carboxymethyl chitosan loaded with exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs), named as the rhCol I/CMC-Exos hydrogel. METHODS Exosomes were extracted from hUCMSCs and were characterizated by TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy), and biomarker detection. The rhCol I hydrogel, rhCol I/carboxymethyl chitosan (rhCol I/CMC) hydrogel and the rhCol I/CMC-Exos hydrogel composites were cross-linked by genipin. These materials were assessed and compared for their physical characteristics, including cross-sectional morphology, porosity, pore distribution, and hydrophilicity. Cell biocompatibility on biomaterials was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and CFDA staining, as well as assessed in vivo through histological examination of major organs in mice. Effects of the hydrogel composite on wound healing were further evaluated by using the full-thickness skin defect mice model. RESULTS Successful extraction of hUCMSCs-derived exosomes was confirmed by TEM,Western Blotting and flow cytometry. The synthesized rhCol I/CMC-Exos hydrogel composite exhibited cytocompatibility and promoted cell growth in vitro. The rhCol I/CMC-Exos hydrogel showed sustained release of exosomes. In the mice full skin-defects model, the rhCol I/CMC-Exos-treated group showed superior wound healing efficiency, with 15 % faster wound closure compared to controls. Histological examinations revealed thicker dermis formation and more balanced collagen deposition in wounds treated with rhCol I/CMC-Exos hydrogel. Mechanistically, the application of rhCol I/CMC-Exos hydrogel increased fibroblasts proliferation, alleviated inflammation responses as well as promoted angiogenesis, thereby was beneficial in promoting skin wound healing and regeneration. CONCLUSION Our study, for the first time, introduced recombinant human Collagen I in fabricating a novel hydrogel loaded with hUCMSCs-derived exosomes, which effectively promoted skin wound closure and regeneration, demonstrating a great potential in severe skin wound healing treatment.

Abstract
Exosomes are the smallest subset of extracellular signaling vesicles secreted by most cells with the ability to communicate with other tissues and cell types over long distances. Their use in regenerative medicine has gained tremendous momentum recently due to their ability to be utilized as therapeutic options for a wide array of diseases/conditions. Over 5000 publications are currently being published yearly on this topic, and this number is only expected to dramatically increase as novel therapeutic strategies continue to be developed. Today exosomes have been applied in numerous contexts including neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer's disease, central nervous system, depression, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, post-traumatic stress disorders, traumatic brain injury, peripheral nerve injury), damaged organs (heart, kidney, liver, stroke, myocardial infarctions, myocardial infarctions, ovaries), degenerative processes (atherosclerosis, diabetes, hematology disorders, musculoskeletal degeneration, osteoradionecrosis, respiratory disease), infectious diseases (COVID-19, hepatitis), regenerative procedures (antiaging, bone regeneration, cartilage/joint regeneration, osteoarthritis, cutaneous wounds, dental regeneration, dermatology/skin regeneration, erectile dysfunction, hair regrowth, intervertebral disc repair, spinal cord injury, vascular regeneration), and cancer therapy (breast, colorectal, gastric cancer and osteosarcomas), immune function (allergy, autoimmune disorders, immune regulation, inflammatory diseases, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis). This scoping review is a first of its kind aimed at summarizing the extensive regenerative potential of exosomes over a broad range of diseases and disorders.

Abstract
These protocols describe modified methods that use Ficoll-Paque density gradient for umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells and explant method for Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The Ficoll-Paque density gradient method allows to obtain mesenchymal stem cells while eliminating monocytic cells. In this method, precoating the cell culture flasks with fetal bovine serum helps remove the monocytic cells and instruct more pure mesenchymal stem cells. On the other hand, the explant method for Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cell is user-friendly and cost-effective than enzymatic methods. In this chapter, we provide a collection of protocols to obtain mesenchymal stem cells from human umbilical cord blood and Wharton's jelly.

Abstract
ADSCs are a large number of mesenchymal stem cells in Adipose tissue, which can be applied to tissue engineering. ADSCs have the potential of multi-directional differentiation, and can differentiate into bone tissue, cardiac tissue, urothelial cells, skin tissue, etc. Compared with other mesenchymal stem cells, ADSCs have a multitude of promising advantages, such as abundant number, accessibility in cell culture, stable function, and less immune rejection. There are two main methods to use ADSCs for tissue repair and regeneration. One is to implant the "ADSCs-scaffold composite" into the injured site to promote tissue regeneration. The other is cell-free therapy: using ADSC-exos or ADSC-CM alone to release a large number of miRNAs, cytokines and other bioactive substances to promote tissue regeneration. The tissue regeneration potential of ADSCs is regulated by a variety of cytokines, signaling molecules, and external environment. The differentiation of ADSCs into different tissues is also induced by growth factors, ions, hormones, scaffold materials, physical stimulation, and other factors. The specific mechanisms are complex, and most of the signaling pathways need to be further explored. This article reviews and summarizes the mechanism and clinical application of ADSCs in tissue injury repair so far, and puts forward further problems that need to be solved in this field, hoping to provide directions for further research in this field.

Abstract
Regeneration after tissue injury is a dynamic and complex process, and angiogenesis is necessary for normal physiological activities and tissue repair. Induced pluripotent stem cells are a new approach in regenerative medicine, which provides good model for the study of difficult-to-obtain human tissues, patient-specific therapy, and tissue repair. As an innovative cell-free therapeutic strategy, the main advantages of the treatment of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived exosomes are low in tumorigenicity and immunogenicity, which become an important pathway for tissue injury. This review focuses on the mechanism of the angiogenic effect of iPSCs-derived exosomes on wound repair in tissue injury and their potential therapeutic targets, with a view to providing a theoretical basis for the use of iPSCs-derived exosomes in clinical therapy.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases are complex, chronic inflammatory conditions initiated by the loss of immunological tolerance to self-antigens. Nowadays, there is no effective and useful therapy for autoimmune diseases, and the existing medications have some limitations due to their nonspecific targets and side effects. During the last few decades, it has been established that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have immunomodulatory functions. It is proposed that MSCs can exert an important therapeutic effect on autoimmune disorders. In parallel with these findings, several investigations have shown that MSCs alleviate autoimmune diseases. Intriguingly, the results of studies have demonstrated that the effective roles of MSCs in autoimmune diseases do not depend on direct intercellular communication but on their ability to release a wide spectrum of paracrine mediators such as growth factors, cytokines and extracellular vehicles (EVs). EVs that range from 50 to 5,000 nm were produced by almost any cell type, and these nanoparticles participate in homeostasis and intercellular communication via the transfer of a broad range of biomolecules such as modulatory proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), lipids, cytokines, and metabolites. EVs derived from MSCs display the exact properties of MSCs and can be safer and more beneficial than their parent cells. In this review, we will discuss the features of MSCs and their EVs, EVs biogenesis, and their cargos, and then we will highlight the existing discoveries on the impacts of EVs from MSCs on autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis rheumatic, inflammatory bowel disease, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune liver diseases, Sjögren syndrome, and osteoarthritis, suggesting a potential alternative for autoimmune conditions therapy.

Abstract
Intrauterine adhesion (IUA), also referred to as Asherman Syndrome (AS), results from uterine trauma in both pregnant and nonpregnant women. The IUA damages the endometrial bottom layer, causing partial or complete occlusion of the uterine cavity. This leads to irregular menstruation, infertility, or repeated abortions. Transcervical adhesion electroreception (TCRA) is frequently used to treat IUA, which greatly lowers the prevalence of adhesions and increases pregnancy rates. Although surgery aims to disentangle the adhesive tissue, it can exacerbate the development of IUA when the degree of adhesion is severer. Therefore, it is critical to develop innovative therapeutic approaches for the prevention of IUA. Endometrial fibrosis is the essence of IUA, and studies have found that the use of different types of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can reduce the risk of endometrial fibrosis and increase the possibility of pregnancy. Recent research has suggested that exosomes derived from MSCs can overcome the limitations of MSCs, such as immunogenicity and tumorigenicity risks, thereby providing new directions for IUA treatment. Moreover, the hydrogel drug delivery system can significantly ameliorate the recurrence rate of adhesions and the intrauterine pregnancy rate of patients, and its potential mechanism in the treatment of IUA has also been studied. It has been shown that the combination of two or more therapeutic schemes has broader application prospects; therefore, this article reviews the pathophysiology of IUA and current treatment strategies, focusing on exosomes combined with hydrogels in the treatment of IUA. Although the use of exosomes and hydrogels has certain challenges in treating IUA, they still provide new promising directions in this field.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wounds are primarily caused by infection, inflammation, and angiogenesis-related disorders. An ideal approach for treating chronic diabetic wounds is by combining anti-infection strategies, immune microenvironment regulation, and angiogenesis promotion. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) can promote the proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells, thereby promoting angiogenesis. However, the low stability and inability to target lesions limit its application. Polymorphonuclear neutrophil-derived exosomes (PMNExo) exhibit good delivery properties and can be used for the therapeutic delivery of VEGF. Furthermore, they retain the antibacterial ability of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). Nonetheless, low PMNExo generation impedes its therapeutic applications. In this study, we prepared exosome mimetics (EM) from PMNs using the extrusion process; as a result, exosome yield significantly improved. To increase the residence of exosomes, an extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel, a thermosensitive material that can function as an in situ gel in vivo, was used as an exosome carrier. The active peptides in the ECM regulated the immune microenvironment of the wound. In summary, we loaded ECM with VEGF-encapsulated activated neutrophil exosome mimetics (aPMNEM) to develop VEGF-aPMNEM-ECM hybrid hydrogel for treating chronic wounds. The hydrogel accelerates the regeneration of chronic diabetic wounds. Our study provides a prospective therapy platform involving cytokines for treating different diseases.

Abstract
Wound repair is a complex problem for both clinical practitioners and scientific investigators. Conventional approaches to wound repair have been associated with several limitations, including prolonged treatment duration, high treatment expenses, and significant economic and psychological strain on patients. Consequently, there is a pressing demand for more efficacious and secure treatment modalities to enhance the existing treatment landscapes. In the field of wound repair, cell-free therapy, particularly the use of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos), has made notable advancements in recent years. Exosomes, which are small lipid bilayer vesicles discharged by MSCs, harbor bioactive constituents such as proteins, lipids, microRNA (miRNA), and messenger RNA (mRNA). These constituents facilitate material transfer and information exchange between the cells, thereby regulating their biological functions. This article presents a comprehensive survey of the function and mechanisms of MSC-Exos in the context of wound healing, emphasizing their beneficial impact on each phase of the process, including the regulation of the immune response, inhibition of inflammation, promotion of angiogenesis, advancement of cell proliferation and migration, and reduction of scar formation.

Abstract
Skin wounds are characterized by injury to the skin due to trauma, tearing, cuts, or contusions. As such injuries are common to all human groups, they may at times represent a serious socioeconomic burden. Currently, increasing numbers of studies have focused on the role of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in skin wound repair. As a cell-free therapy, MSC-derived EVs have shown significant application potential in the field of wound repair as a more stable and safer option than conventional cell therapy. Treatment based on MSC-derived EVs can significantly promote the repair of damaged substructures, including the regeneration of vessels, nerves, and hair follicles. In addition, MSC-derived EVs can inhibit scar formation by affecting angiogenesis-related and antifibrotic pathways in promoting macrophage polarization, wound angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and cell migration, and by inhibiting excessive extracellular matrix production. Additionally, these structures can serve as a scaffold for components used in wound repair, and they can be developed into bioengineered EVs to support trauma repair. Through the formulation of standardized culture, isolation, purification, and drug delivery strategies, exploration of the detailed mechanism of EVs will allow them to be used as clinical treatments for wound repair. In conclusion, MSC-derived EVs-based therapies have important application prospects in wound repair. Here we provide a comprehensive overview of their current status, application potential, and associated drawbacks.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has been the third commonest cancer in the world. The prognosis of patients with CRC is related to the molecular subtypes and gene mutations, which is prone to recurrence, metastasis, and drug resistance. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a group of progenitor ones with the capabilities of self-renewal, multi-directional differentiation, and tissue re-population, which could be isolated from various kinds of tissues and be differentiated into diverse cell types. In recent years, MSCs are applied for mechanisms study of tissue repairing, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and autoimmune-related disease, and tumor development, with the advantages of anti-inflammation, multi-lineage differentiation, and homing capability. Integrating the chemotherapy and MSCs therapy might provide a novel treatment approach for CRC patients. In this review, we summarize the current progress in the integrated treatment of integrating the MSCs and chemotherapy for CRC.

Abstract
Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFDs), which include pelvic organ prolapse (POP), stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and anal incontinence (AI), are common degenerative diseases in women that have dramatic effects on quality of life. The pathology of PFDs is based on impaired pelvic connective tissue supportive strength due to an imbalance in extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism, the loss of a variety of cell types, such as fibroblasts, muscle cells, peripheral nerve cells, and oxidative stress and inflammation in the pelvic environment. Fortunately, exosomes, which are one of the major secretions of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), are involved in intercellular communication and the modulation of molecular activities in recipient cells via their contents, which are bioactive proteins and genetic factors such as mRNAs and miRNAs. These components modify fibroblast activation and secretion, facilitate ECM modelling, and promote cell proliferation to enhance pelvic tissue regeneration. In this review, we focus on the molecular mechanisms and future directions of exosomes derived from MSCs that are of great value in the treatment of PFD.

Abstract
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play a critical role in cardiac cell therapy by delivering molecular cargo and mediating cellular signaling. Among sEV cargo molecule types, microRNA (miRNA) is particularly potent and highly heterogeneous. However, not all miRNAs in sEV are beneficial. Two previous studies using computational modeling identified miR-192-5p and miR-432-5p as potentially deleterious in cardiac function and repair. Here, we show that knocking down miR-192-5p and miR-432-5p in cardiac c-kit+ cell (CPC)-derived sEVs enhances the therapeutic capabilities of sEVs in vitro and in a rat in vivo model of cardiac ischemia reperfusion. miR-192-5p- and miR-432-5p-depleted CPC-sEVs enhance cardiac function by reducing fibrosis and necrotic inflammatory responses. miR-192-5p-depleted CPC-sEVs also enhance mesenchymal stromal cell-like cell mobilization. Knocking down deleterious miRNAs from sEV could be a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of chronic myocardial infarction.

The effectiveness of cell-derived exosome therapy for diabetic wound: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Ageing Res Rev 2023; 85:101858. [PMID: 36669689 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2023.101858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of diabetes among the elderly population is significant and rising annually. One of the most severe and frequent complications of diabetes mellitus is the diabetic wound, which has long-term negative effects on patients' finances, mental health, and functional abilities. Exosomes, a cell-free therapy, have emerged as a promising novel treatment for diabetic wounds, but their mechanism is still not entirely understood. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of exosomes in the management of diabetic wounds. METHODS We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science for pertinent studies that described the therapeutic benefits of exosomes on diabetic wound models that were released before October 17, 2022. The outcome indicators consisted of wound healing rate, neovascular density, re-epithelialization rate, collagen deposition, scar width, and inflammatory factors. RevMan 5.4 software was used to conduct all statistical analyses. RESULTS A total of 21 studies with 323 animals were identified in this meta-analysis. Pooled analyses demonstrated that exosome therapy was shown to be superior to control therapy in terms of wound healing rate (SMD = 5.42; 95 %CI = 4.40-6.44; P < 0.00001), neovascular density (SMD = 5.48; 95 %CI = 4.31-6.64; P < 0.00001), re-epithelialization rate (SMD = 5.06; 95 %CI = 3.75-6.37; P < 0.00001), collagen deposition (SMD = 4.78; 95 %CI = 3.58-5.98; P < 0.00001), scar width (SMD = -8.10; 95 %CI = -10.31 to -5.89; P < 0.00001). Additionally, the expression of inflammatory factors was significantly downregulated in the exosome treatment group. CONCLUSIONS According to this meta-analysis of the current trials, exosome therapy can enhance the quality of diabetic wounds, especially when used in conjunction with novel dressings. To demonstrate the most efficient exosomes and therapeutic parameters for the treatment of diabetic wounds, future studies should conduct sizable, randomized, double-blind trials with high-quality, long-term follow-ups.

Abstract
Background Radiation ulcers are a common and severe injury after uncontrolled exposure to ionizing radiation. The most important feature of radiation ulcers is progressive ulceration, which results in the expansion of radiation injury to the nonirradiated area and refractory wounds. Current theories cannot explain the progression of radiation ulcers. Cellular senescence refers to as irreversible growth arrest that occurs after exposure to stress, which contributes to tissue dysfunction by inducing paracrine senescence, stem cell dysfunction and chronic inflammation. However, it is not yet clear how cellular senescence facilitates the continuous progression of radiation ulcers. Here, we aim to investigate the role of cellular senescence in promoting progressive radiation ulcers and indicate a potential therapeutic strategy for radiation ulcers. Methods Radiation ulcer animal models were established by local exposure to 40 Gy X-ray radiation and continuously evaluated for >260 days. The roles of cellular senescence in the progression of radiation ulcers were assessed using pathological analysis, molecular detection and RNA sequencing. Then, the therapeutic effects of conditioned medium from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (uMSC-CM) were investigated in radiation ulcer models. Results Radiation ulcer animal models with features of clinical patients were established to investigate the primary mechanisms responsible for the progression of radiation ulcers. We have characterized cellular senescence as being closely associated with the progression of radiation ulcers and found that exogenous transplantation of senescent cells significantly aggravated them. Mechanistic studies and RNA sequencing suggested that radiation-induced senescent cell secretions were responsible for facilitating paracrine senescence and promoting the progression of radiation ulcers. Finally, we found that uMSC-CM was effective in mitigating the progression of radiation ulcers by inhibiting cellular senescence. Conclusions Our findings not only characterize the roles of cellular senescence in the progression of radiation ulcers but also indicate the therapeutic potential of senescent cells in their treatment.

Abstract
Beauty is an eternal pursuit of all people. Wound repair, anti-aging, inhibiting hyperpigmentation and hair loss are the main demands for medical aesthetics. At present, the repair and remodeling of human body shape and function in medical aesthetics are often achieved by injection of antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin, stem cell therapy. However, there are some challenges, such as difficulty controlling the injection dose, abnormal local contour, increased foreign body sensation, and the risk of tumor occurrence and deformity induced by stem cell therapy. Exosomes are tiny vesicles secreted by cells, which are rich in proteins, nucleic acids and other bioactive molecules. They have the characteristics of low immunogenicity and strong tissue penetration, making them ideal for applications in medical aesthetics. However, their low yield, strong heterogeneity, and long-term preservation still hinder their application in medical aesthetics. In this review, we summarize the mechanism of action, administration methods, engineered production and preservation technologies for exosomes in medical aesthetics in recent years to further promote their research and industrialization in the field of medical aesthetics.

Abstract
The well-orchestrated process of wound healing may be negatively impacted from interrupted or incomplete tissue regenerative processes. The healing potential is further compromised in patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic venous insufficiency, critical limb ischemia, and immunocompromised conditions, with a high health care burden and expenditure. Stem cell-based therapy has shown promising results in clinical studies. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC Exos) may favorably impact intercellular signaling and immunomodulation, promoting neoangiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and neoepithelization. This article gives an outline of the biogenesis and mechanism of extracellular vesicles (EVs), particularly exosomes, in the process of tissue regeneration and discusses the use of preconditioned exosomes, platelet-rich plasma-derived exosomes, and engineered exosomes in three-dimensional bioscaffolds such as hydrogels (collagen and chitosan) to prolong the contact time of exosomes at the recipient site within the target tissue. An appropriate antibiotic therapy based on culture-specific guidance coupled with the knowledge of biopolymers helps to fabricate nanotherapeutic materials loaded with MSC Exos to effectively deliver drugs locally and promote novel approaches for the management of chronic wounds.

Abstract
Free tissue flap transplantation is a classic and important method for the clinical repair of tissue defects. However, ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury can affect the success rate of skin flap transplantation. We used a free abdomen flap rat model to explore the protective effects of exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs-exosomes) against the IR injury of the skin flap. Exosomes were injected through the tail vein and the flaps were observed and obtained on day 7. We observed that BMSCs-exosomes significantly reduced the necrotic lesions of the skin flap. Furthermore, BMSCs-exosomes relieved oxidative stress and reduced the levels of inflammatory factors. Apoptosis was evaluated via the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay and Western blot analysis of Bax, Bcl-2. Simultaneously, BMSCs-exosomes promoted the formation of new blood vessels in the IR flap, as confirmed by the increased expression level of VEGFA and the fluorescence co-staining of CD31 and PCNA. Additionally, BMSCs-exosomes considerably increased proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and promoted angiogenesis in vitro. BMSCs-exosomes could be a promising cell-free therapeutic candidate to reduce IR injury and promote the survival of skin flaps.

Role and Function of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Fibroblast in Cutaneous Wound Healing. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10061391. [PMID: 35740413 PMCID: PMC9219688 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10061391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Skin wounds often repair themselves completely over time; however, this is true only for healthy individuals. Although various studies are being conducted to improve wound-healing therapy outcomes, the mechanisms of wound healing and regeneration are not completely understood yet. In recent years, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been reported to contribute significantly to wound healing and regeneration. Understanding the function of MSCs will help to elucidate the fundamentals of wound healing. MSCs are multipotent stem cells that are used in regenerative medicine for their ability to self-renew and differentiate into bone, fat, and cartilage, with few ethical problems associated with cell harvesting. Additionally, they have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties and antifibrotic effects via paracrine signaling, and many studies have been conducted to use them to treat graft-versus-host disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and intractable cutaneous wounds. Many substances derived from MSCs are involved in the wound-healing process, and specific cascades and pathways have been elucidated. This review aims to explain the fundamental role of MSCs in wound healing and the effects of MSCs on fibroblasts.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been proven to have superior potential to be used astherapeutic candidates in various disorders. Nevertheless, the clinical application of these cells have been restricted because of their tumorigenic properties. Increasing evidence has established that the valuable impacts of MSCs are mainly attributable to the paracrine factors including extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are nanosized double-layer phospholipid membrane vesicles contain various proteins, lipids and miRNAs which mediate cell-to-cell communications. Due to their inferior immunogenicity and tumorigenicity, as well as easier management, EVs have drawn attention as potential cell-free replacement therapy to MSCs. For that reason, herein, we reviewed the recent findings of researches on different MSC-EVs and their effectiveness in the treatment of several autoimmune and rheumatic diseases including multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus as well as Sjogren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases.

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.
