Abstract
In brief This study reveals that orthotopic transplantation of 3D hUC-MSC spheroids is more effective than monolayer-cultured hUC-MSCs in improving POF and distinctly reducing oxidative stress through the paracrine effect, thereby preventing apoptosis and autophagy of GCs. Abstract Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a common reproductive disease in women younger than 40 years old, and studies have demonstrated that the application of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) is a promising therapy strategy for POF. Given the previously established therapeutic advantages of 3D MSC spheroids, and to evaluate their effectiveness, both 3D hUC-MSC spheroids and monolayer-cultured hUC-MSCs were employed to treat a cyclophosphamide-induced POF rat model through orthotopic transplantation. The effects of these two forms on POF were subsequently assessed by examining apoptosis, autophagy, and oxidative damage in ovarian granulosa cells (GCs). The results indicated that hUC-MSC spheroids exhibited superior treatment effects on resisting autophagy, apoptosis, and oxidative damage in GCs compared to monolayer-cultured hUC-MSCs. To further elucidate the impact of hUC-MSC spheroids in vitro, a H2O2-induced KGN cells model was established and co-cultured with both forms of hUC-MSCs. As expected, the hUC-MSC spheroids also exhibited superior effects in resisting apoptosis and autophagy caused by oxidative damage. Therefore, this study demonstrates that 3D hUC-MSC spheroids have potential advantages in POF therapy; however, the detailed mechanisms need to be further investigated. Furthermore, this study will provide a reference for the clinical treatment strategy of POF.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) offer promising therapeutic potential for various refractory diseases, presenting a novel therapeutic strategy. However, their clinical application encounters several obstacles, including low natural secretion, uncontrolled biological functions and inherent heterogeneity. On the one hand, physical stimuli can mimic the microenvironment dynamics where MSC-Exo reside. These factors influence not only their secretion but also, significantly, their biological efficacy. Moreover, physical factors can also serve as techniques for engineering exosomes. Therefore, the realm of physical factors assumes a crucial role in modifying MSC-Exo, ultimately facilitating their clinical translation. This review focuses on the research progress in applying physical factors to MSC-Exo, encompassing ultrasound, electrical stimulation, light irradiation, intrinsic physical properties, ionizing radiation, magnetic field, mechanical forces and temperature. We also discuss the current status and potential of physical stimuli-affected MSC-Exo in clinical applications. Furthermore, we address the limitations of recent studies in this field. Based on this, this review provides novel insights to advance the refinement of MSC-Exo as a therapeutic approach in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Exosomes are small vesicles containing proteins, nucleic acids, and biological lipids, which are responsible for intercellular communication. Studies have shown that exosomes can be utilized as effective drug delivery vehicles to accurately deliver therapeutic substances to target tissues, enhancing therapeutic effects and reducing side effects. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a class of stem cells widely used for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and immunotherapy. Exosomes derived from MSCs have special immunomodulatory functions, low immunogenicity, the ability to penetrate tumor tissues, and high yield, which are expected to be engineered into efficient drug delivery systems. Despite the promising promise of MSC-derived exosomes, exploring their optimal preparation methods, drug-loading modalities, and therapeutic potential remains challenging. Therefore, this article reviews the related characteristics, preparation methods, application, and potential risks of MSC-derived exosomes as drug delivery systems in order to find potential therapeutic breakthroughs.

Abstract
Exosomes are lipid-bilayered vesicles, originating from early endosomes that capture cellular proteins and genetic materials to form multi-vesicular bodies. These exosomes are secreted into extracellular fluids such as cerebrospinal fluid, blood, urine, and cell culture supernatants. They play a key role in intercellular communication by carrying active molecules like lipids, cytokines, growth factors, metabolites, proteins, and RNAs. Recently, the potential of exosomal delivery for therapeutic purposes has been explored due to their low immunogenicity, nano-scale size, and ability to cross cellular barriers. This review comprehensively examines the biogenesis of exosomes, their isolation techniques, and their diverse applications in theranostics. We delve into the mechanisms and methods for loading exosomes with mRNA, miRNA, proteins, and drugs, highlighting their transformative role in delivering therapeutic payloads. Additionally, the utility of exosomes in stem cell therapy is discussed, showcasing their potential in regenerative medicine. Insights into exosome cargo using pre- or post-loading techniques are critical for exosome theranostics. We review exosome databases such as ExoCarta, Expedia, and ExoBCD, which document exosome cargo. From these databases, we identified 25 proteins common to both exosomes and P-bodies, known for mutations in the COSMIC database. Exosome databases do not integrate with mutation analysis programs; hence, we performed mutation analysis using additional databases. Accounting for the mutation status of parental cells and exosomal cargo is crucial in exosome theranostics. This review provides a comprehensive report on exosome databases, proteins common to exosomes and P-bodies, and their mutation analysis, along with the latest studies on exosome-engineered theranostics.

Abstract
Introduction Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an upper airway inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa. Conventional treatments such as symptomatic pharmacotherapy and allergen-specific immunotherapy have considerable limitations and drawbacks. As an emerging therapy with regenerative potential and immunomodulatory effect, mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) have recently been trialed for the treatment of various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Methods In order to achieve sustained and protected release of MSC-Exos for intranasal administration, we fabricated Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) micro and nanoparticles-encapsulated MSC-Exos (PLGA-Exos) using mechanical double emulsion for local treatment of AR. Preclinical in vivo imaging, ELISA, qPCR, flow cytometry, immunohistochemical staining, and multiomics sequencing were used for phenotypic and mechanistic evaluation of the therapeutic effect of PLGA-Exos in vitro and in vivo. Results The results showed that our PLGA platform could efficiently encapsulate and release the exosomes in a sustained manner. At protein level, PLGA-Exos treatment upregulated IL-2, IL-10 and IFN-γ, and downregulated IL-4, IL-17 and antigen-specific IgE in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced AR mice. At cellular level, exosomes treatment reduced Th2 cells, increased Tregs, and reestablished Th1/Th2 balance. At tissue level, PLGA-Exos significantly attenuated the infiltration of immune cells (e.g., eosinophils and goblet cells) in nasal mucosa. Finally, multiomics analysis discovered several signaling cascades, e.g., peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) pathway and glycolysis pathway, that might mechanistically support the immunomodulatory effect of PLGA-Exos. Discussion For the first time, we present a biomaterial-facilitated local delivery system for stem cell-derived exosomes as a novel and promising strategy for AR treatment.

Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from gestational tissues represent promising strategies for in utero treatment of congenital malformations, but plasticity and required high-risk surgical procedures limit their use. Here we propose natural exosomes (EXOs) isolated from amniotic fluid-MSCs (AF-MSCs), and their mimetic counterparts (MIMs), as valid, stable, and minimally invasive therapeutic alternatives. Methods MIMs were generated from AF-MSCs by combining sequential filtration steps through filter membranes with different porosity and size exclusion chromatography columns. Physiochemical and molecular characterization was performed to compare them to EXOs released from the same number of cells. The possibility to exploit both formulations as mRNA-therapeutics was explored by evaluating cell uptake (using two different cell types, fibroblasts, and macrophages) and mRNA functionality overtime in an in vitro experimental setting as well as in an ex vivo, whole embryo culture using pregnant C57BL6 dams. Results Molecular and physiochemical characterization showed no differences between EXOs and MIMs, with MIMs determining a 3-fold greater yield. MIMs delivered a more intense and prolonged expression of mRNA encoding for green fluorescent protein (GFP) in macrophages and fibroblasts. An ex-vivo whole embryo culture demonstrated that MIMs mainly accumulate at the level of the yolk sac, while EXOs reach the embryo. Conclusions The present data confirms the potential application of EXOs for the prenatal repair of neural tube defects and proposes MIMs as prospective vehicles to prevent congenital malformations caused by in utero exposure to drugs.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been studied for decades as candidates for cellular therapy, and their secretome, including secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs), has been identified to contribute significantly to regenerative and reparative functions. Emerging evidence has suggested that MSC-EVs alone, could be used as therapeutics that emulate the biological function of MSCs. However, just as with MSCs, MSC-EVs have been shown to vary in composition, depending on the tissue source of the MSCs as well as the protocols employed in culturing the MSCs and obtaining the EVs. Therefore, the importance of careful choice of cell sources and culture environments is receiving increasing attention. Many factors contribute to the therapeutic potential of MSC-EVs, including the source tissue, isolation technique, and culturing conditions. This review illustrates the molecular landscape of EVs derived from different types of MSC cells along with culture strategies. A thorough analysis of publicly available omic datasets was performed to advance the precision understanding of MSC-EVs with unique tissue source-dependent molecular characteristics. The tissue-specific protein and miRNA-driven Reactome ontology analysis was used to reveal distinct patterns of top Reactome ontology pathways across adipose, bone marrow, and umbilical MSC-EVs. Moreover, a meta-analysis assisted by an AI technique was used to analyze the published literature, providing insights into the therapeutic translation of MSC-EVs based on their source tissues.

Abstract
Our prior investigations have evidenced that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) therapy can significantly improve the outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the proteomics between BMSCs and BMSCs-Exos, and to further elucidate the potential therapeutic effect of BMSCs-Exos on RA, so as to establish a theoretical framework for the prevention and therapy of BMSCs-Exos on RA. The 4D label-free LC-MS/MS technique was used for comparative proteomic analysis of BMSCs and BMSCs-Exos. Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat model was used to investigate the therapeutic effect of BMSCs-Exos on RA. Our results showed that some homology and differences were observed between BMSCs and BMSCs-Exos proteins, among which proteins highly enriched in BMSCs-Exos were related to extracellular matrix and extracellular adhesion. BMSCs-Exos can be taken up by chondrocytes, promoting cell proliferation and migration. In vivo results revealed that BMSCs-Exos significantly improved the clinical symptoms of RA, showing a certain repair effect on the injury of articular cartilage. In short, our study revealed, for the first time, that BMSCs-Exos possess remarkable efficacy in alleviating RA symptoms, probably through shuttling proteins related to cell adhesion and tissue repair ability in CIA rats, suggesting that BMSCs-Exos carrying expressed proteins may become a useful biomaterial for RA treatment.

Abstract
In recent years, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSC) extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been used as a cell replacement therapy and have been shown to effectively overcome some of the disadvantages of cell therapy. However, the specific mechanism of action of EVs is still unclear, and there is no appropriate system for characterizing the differences in the molecular active substances of EVs produced by cells in different physiological states. We used a data-independent acquisition (DIA) quantitative proteomics method to identify and quantify the protein composition of two generations EVs from three different donors and analysed the function and possible mechanism of action of the proteins in EVs of hUC-MSCs via bioinformatics. By comparative proteomic analysis, we characterized the different passages EVs. Furthermore, we found that adaptor-related protein complex 2 subunit alpha 1 (AP2A1) and adaptor-related protein complex 2 subunit beta 1 (AP2B1) in hUC-MSC-derived EVs may play a significant role in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by regulating the synaptic vesicle cycle signalling pathway. Our work provides a direction for batch-to-batch quality control of hUC-MSC-derived EVs and their application in AD treatment.

Abstract
Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles secreted by cells and enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane containing various biologically active cargoes such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Engineered exosomes generated through genetic modification of parent cells show promise as drug delivery vehicles, and they have been demonstrated to have great therapeutic potential for treating cancer, cardiovascular, neurological, and immune diseases, but systematic knowledge is lacking regarding optimization of drug loading and assessment of delivery efficacy. This review summarizes current approaches for engineering exosomes and evaluating their drug delivery effects, and current techniques for assessing exosome drug loading and release kinetics, cell targeting, biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic outcomes are critically examined. Additionally, this review synthesizes the latest applications of exosome engineering and drug delivery in clinical translation. The knowledge compiled in this review provides a framework for the rational design and rigorous assessment of exosomes as therapeutics. Continued advancement of robust characterization methods and reporting standards will accelerate the development of exosome engineering technologies and pave the way for clinical studies.

Sci Rep 2024; 14:121. [PMID: 38167556 PMCID: PMC10762029 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-50279-x] [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: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
The cell-derived vesicles (CDVs) obtained using a proprietary extrusion process are the foundation of BioDrone platform technology. With superior productivity and versatility, this technology has garnered increasing attention in broad applications, particularly as a drug delivery vehicle. Previously, we showed that CDVs exhibited varying levels of expression for tetraspanin and organelle membrane markers while revealing no discernible differences in physical characteristics compared to naturally produced extracellular vesicles (EVs). To further understand and utilize the therapeutic potentials of CDVs, a more comprehensive study of membrane protein profiles is necessary. In addition, it is crucial to validate that the CDVs produced from extrusion are indeed intact lipid vesicles rather than other impurities. Here, we produced multiple batches of CDVs and EVs from HEK293 cells. CDVs and EVs were subjected to the same purification processes for subsequent proteome and particle analyses. The proteome analyses revealed unique proteome signatures between CDVs, EVs, and parental cells. Extensive proteome analyses identified the nine most prominent membrane markers that are abundant in CDVs compared to cells and EVs. Subsequent western blotting and nanoparticle flow cytometry analyses confirmed that CD63, lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 1 (LAMP1), and nicastrin (NCSTN) are highly enriched in CDVs, whereas CD81, CD9, and prostaglandin F2 receptor negative regulator (PTGFRN) are more abundant in EVs. This highlights the unique membrane composition and marker signature of CDVs that are distinct from EVs. Lastly, we demonstrated that more than 90% of the CDVs are genuine lipid vesicles by combining two different classes of vesicle labeling dyes and detergents to disrupt lipid membranes. This indicates that our proprietary extrusion technology is highly compatible with other well-characterized EV production methods. The robust CDV markers identified in this study will also facilitate the engineering of CDVs to achieve enhanced therapeutic effects or tissue-selective cargo delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Menopausal and postmenopausal women often experience vaginal atrophy due to estrogen deficiency. Mesenchymal stem cell exosomes have emerged as potential therapeutic agents, capable of promoting tissue regeneration and repair. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the benefits of exosomes on VK2 cells and the therapeutic effect of topical exosomal hydrogel on atrophic vaginas. METHODS Exosomes were extracted using the high-speed centrifugation method, and their effects on VK2 cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation were observed through co-culture. The menopause model was induced by ovariectomy in rats, followed by the injection of exosome-loaded hydrogel into their vaginas. The treatment's effectiveness was evaluated by measuring vaginal epithelium thickness using HE staining, and assessing vaginal mucosa proliferation and lamina propria angiogenesis using Ki67 and anti-CD31 staining, respectively. RESULTS Exosomes significantly promoted VK2 cell proliferation and migration, but had no significant effect on differentiation. The exosome hydrogel increased the expression of Ki67 and CD31, leading to a significant improvement in epithelial thickness. CONCLUSIONS UcMSC- ex can stimulate the proliferation and migration of VK2 cells, but do not appear to promote differentiation. Topical application of exosome hydrogel enhances vaginal epithelium thickness to a certain degree, offering a promising non-hormonal therapeutic strategy to alleviate vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small vesicles that are naturally released by cells and play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication, tissue repair and regeneration. As naturally secreted EVs are limited, liposomes with different physicochemical properties, such as 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium propane (DOTAP) and linoleic acid (LA) with modifications have been formulated to improve EVs secretion for in vitro wound healing. Various analyses, including dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed to monitor the successful preparation of different types of liposomes. The results showed that cholesterol-LA liposomes significantly improved the secretion of EVs from immortalized adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) by 1.5-fold. Based on the cell migration effects obtained from scratch assay, both LA liposomal-induced EVs and cholesterol-LA liposomal-induced EVs significantly enhanced the migration of human keratinocytes (HaCaT) cell line. These findings suggested that LA and cholesterol-LA liposomes that enhance EVs secretion are potentially useful and can be extended for various tissue regeneration applications.

Abstract
Small extracellular vesicles (exosomes) are important components of the tumor microenvironment. They are small membrane-bound vesicles derived from almost all cell types and play an important role in intercellular communication. Exosomes transmit biological molecules obtained from parent cells, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, and are involved in cancer development. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), the most abundant contents in exosomes, are selectively packaged into exosomes to carry out their biological functions. Recent studies have revealed that exosome-delivered miRNAs play crucial roles in the tumorigenesis, progression, and drug resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In addition, exosomes have great industrial prospects in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of patients with HCC. This review summarized the composition and function of exosomal miRNAs of different cell origins in HCC and highlighted the association between exosomal miRNAs from stromal cells and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment and the progression of HCC. Finally, we described the potential applicability of exosomal miRNAs derived from mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of HCC.

Abstract
Background Long-term extensive use of glucocorticoids will lead to hormonal necrosis of the femoral head, and osteoblasts play an important role in the prevention of osteonecrosis. However, there is no complete cure for necrosis of the femoral head. Mesenchymal stem cell- (MSCs-) derived exosomes are widely used for the repair of various tissue lesions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of dexamethasone- (DEX-) induced osteoblast apoptosis and the therapeutic effect of human umbilical cord MSC- (hucMSC-) derived exosome mimetic vesicles (EMVs) on osteoblast-induced apoptosis by DEX. Methods The viability and apoptosis of primary MC3T3-E1 cells were determined by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), FITC-Annexin V/PI staining and immunoblot. The intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after DEX treatment were measured by 2', 7' -dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) staining. In this study, hucMSC-EMVs and N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) were used as therapeutic measures. The expression of B-cell lymphoma 2-associated X, Bcl 2, HO-1, and nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 and MAPK- signaling pathway in osteogenic cell MC3T3-E1 cells treated with Dex was analyzed by the immunoblotting. Results DEX significantly induced osteoblasts MC3T3-E1 apoptosis and ROS accumulation. MAPK-signaling pathway was activated in MC3T3-E1 after DEX treatment. hucMSC-EMVs intervention significantly downregulated DEX-induced MAPK-signaling pathway activation and ROS accumulation. In addition, hucMSC-EMVs can reduce the apoptosis levels in osteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells induced by DEX. Conclusions Our study confirmed that hucMSC-EMVs regulates MAPK-signaling pathway and ROS levels to inhibit DEX-induced osteoblast apoptosis.

[PMID: 37640804 PMCID: PMC10462753 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-41348-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Cancer is an abnormal, heterogeneous growth of cells with the ability to invade surrounding tissue and even distant organs. Worldwide, GLOBOCAN had an estimated 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million death rates of cancer in 2018. Among all cancers, Oral cancer (OC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, and the third most common in India, the most frequent type, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), tends to spread to lymph nodes in advanced stages. Throughout the past few decades, the molecular landscape of OSCC biology has remained unknown despite breakthroughs in our understanding of the genome-scale gene expression pattern of oral cancer particularly in lymph node metastasis. Moreover, due to tissue variability in single-cohort studies, investigations on OSCC gene-expression profiles are scarce or inconsistent. The work provides a comprehensive analysis of changed expression and lays a major focus on employing a liquid biopsy base method to find new therapeutic targets and early prediction biomarkers for lymph node metastasis. Therefore, the current study combined the profile information from GSE9844, GSE30784, GSE3524, and GSE2280 cohorts to screen for differentially expressed genes, and then using gene enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction network design, identified the possible candidate genes and pathways in lymph node metastatic patients. Additionally, the mRNA expression of discovered genes was assessed using real-time PCR, and the Human Protein Atlas database was utilized to determine the protein levels of hub genes in tumor and normal tissues. Angiogenesis was been investigated using the Chorioallentoic membrane (CAM) angiogenesis test. In a cohort of OSCC patients, fibronectin (FN1), C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 8 (CXCL8), and matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) were significantly upregulated, corroborating these findings. Our identified significant gene signature showed greater serum exosome effectiveness in early detection and clinically linked with intracellular communication in the establishment of the premetastatic niche. Also, the results of the CAM test reveal that primary OC derived exosomes may have a function in angiogenesis. As a result, our study finds three potential genes that may be used as a possible biomarker for lymph node metastasis early detection and sheds light on the underlying processes of exosomes that cause a premetastatic condition.

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
There is growing evidence that mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles and exosomes can significantly improve the curative effect of oxidative stress-related diseases. Mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles and exosomes (MSC-EVs and MSC-Exos) are rich in bioactive molecules and have many biological regulatory functions. In this review, we describe how MSC-EVs and MSC-Exos reduce the related markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in various systemic diseases, and the molecular mechanism of MSC-EVs and MSC-Exos in treating apoptosis and vascular injury induced by oxidative stress. The results of a large number of experimental studies have shown that both local and systemic administration can effectively inhibit the oxidative stress response in diseases and promote the survival and regeneration of damaged parenchymal cells. The mRNA and miRNAs in MSC-EVs and MSC-Exos are the most important bioactive molecules in disease treatment, which can inhibit the apoptosis, necrosis and oxidative stress of lung, heart, kidney, liver, bone, skin and other cells, and promote their survive and regenerate.

Abstract
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are produced by most cells and play an important role in cell-to-cell communication and maintaining cellular homeostasis. Their ability to transfer biological cargo to target cells makes them a promising tool for cancer drug delivery. Advances in sEV engineering, EV mimetics, and ligand-directed targeting have improved the efficacy of anticancer drug delivery and functionality. EV-based RNA interference and hybrid miRNA transfer have also been extensively used in various preclinical cancer models. Despite these developments, gaps still exist in our understanding of using sEVs to treat solid tumor malignancies effectively. This article provides an overview of the last five years of sEV research and its current status for the efficient and targeted elimination of cancer cells, which could advance cancer research and bring sEV formulations into clinical use.

Abstract
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) induced by chemotherapy is an intractable disorder with a considerable incidence that commonly results in insufficient fertility and concomitant complications in female patients. Due to limitations in the current progress in POI diagnosis and treatment, there is an urgent need to develop novel remedies to improve ovarian function and protect fertility. The ameliorative effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) and exosomes derived from them in POI treatment could be a new hope for patients. Herein, we identified exosomes from hUCMSCs (hUCMSC-Exos). Then, systematic infusion of hUCMSC-Exos was accomplished via tail intravenous injection to investigate the feasibility of the treatment of rats with chemotherapy-induced POI by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (CTX) and busulfan (BUS). Ovarian functions in the indicated group were evaluated, including oestrous cycle, serum sex hormone levels, follicle counts, ovarian pathological changes, proliferation and apoptosis of granulosa cells (GCs), and reproductive ability testing. Furthermore, the potential influence of hUCMSC-Exos on ovarian tissues was illuminated by conducting RNA-seq and multifaceted bioinformatics analyses. POI rats with hUCMSC-Exos transplantation exhibited a decrease in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and apoptosis of GCs but an increase in oestradiol (E2), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), and the number of ovarian follicles and foetuses in the uterus. And the immunomodulation- and cellular vitality-associated gene sets in rats had also undergone moderate changes. Our data indicated the feasibility of hUCMSC-Exos in improving ovarian function and protecting fertility in chemotherapy-induced POI rats. HUCMSC-Exos can improve the local microenvironment of ovarian tissue in POI rats by participating in immune regulation, cellular viability, inflammation regulation, fibrosis and metabolism, and other related signal pathways.

Abstract
Exosomes have shown promising potential as a therapeutic approach for wound healing. Nevertheless, the translation from experimental studies to commercially available treatments is still lacking. To assess the current state of research in this field, a systematic review was performed involving studies conducted and published over the past five years. A PubMed search was performed for English-language, full-text available papers published from 2018 to June 2023, focusing on exosomes derived from mammalian sources and their application in wound healing, particularly those involving in vivo assays. Out of 531 results, 148 papers were selected for analysis. The findings revealed that exosome-based treatments improve wound healing by increasing angiogenesis, reepithelization, collagen deposition, and decreasing scar formation. Furthermore, there was significant variability in terms of cell sources and types, biomaterials, and administration routes under investigation, indicating the need for further research in this field. Additionally, a comparative examination encompassing diverse cellular origins, types, administration pathways, or biomaterials is imperative. Furthermore, the predominance of rodent-based animal models raises concerns, as there have been limited advancements towards more complex in vivo models and scale-up assays. These constraints underscore the substantial efforts that remain necessary before attaining commercially viable and extensively applicable therapeutic approaches using exosomes.

Abstract
Refractory skin defects such as pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and vascular ulcers represent a challenge for clinicians and researchers in many aspects. The treatment strategies for wound healing have high cost and limited efficacy. To ease the financial and psychological burden on patients, a more effective therapeutic approach is needed to address the chronic wound. MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-exosomes), the main bioactive extracellular vesicles of the paracrine effect of MSCs, have been proposed as a new potential cell-free approach for wound healing and skin regeneration. The benefits of MSC-exosomes include their ability to promote angiogenesis and cell proliferation, increase collagen production, regulate inflammation, and finally improve tissue regenerative capacity. However, poor targeting and easy removability of MSC-exosomes from the wound are major obstacles to their use in clinical therapy. Thus, the concept of bioengineering technology has been introduced to modify exosomes, enabling higher concentrations and construction of particles of greater stability with specific therapeutic capability. The use of biomaterials to load MSC-exosomes may be a promising strategy to concentrate dose, create the desired therapeutic efficacy, and maintain a sustained release effect. The beneficial role of MSC-exosomes in wound healing is been widely accepted; however, the potential of bioengineering-modified MSC-exosomes remains unclear. In this review, we attempt to summarize the therapeutic applications of modified MSC-exosomes in wound healing and skin regeneration. The challenges and prospects of bioengineered MSC-exosomes are also discussed.

Abstract
Alopecia is a common medical condition affecting both sexes. Dermal papilla (DP) cells are the primary source of hair regeneration in alopecia patients. Therapeutic applications of extracellular vesicles (EVs) are restricted by low yields, high costs, and their time-consuming collection process. Thus, engineered nanovesicles (eNVs) have emerged as suitable therapeutic biomaterials in translational medicine. We isolated eNVs by the serial extrusion of fibroblasts (FBs) using polycarbonate membrane filters and serial and ultracentrifugation. We studied the internalization, proliferation, and migration of human DP cells in the presence and absence of FB-eNVs. The therapeutic potential of FB-eNVs was studied on ex vivo organ cultures of human hair follicles (HFs) from three human participants. FB-eNVs (2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 µg/mL) significantly enhanced DP cell proliferation, with the maximum effect observed at 7.5 µg/mL. FB-eNVs (5 and 10 µg/mL) significantly enhanced the migration of DP cells at 36 h. Western blotting results suggested that FB-eNVs contain vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-a. FB-eNV treatment increased the levels of PCNA, pAKT, pERK, and VEGF-receptor-2 (VEGFR2) in DP cells. Moreover, FB-eNVs increased the human HF shaft size in a short duration ex vivo. Altogether, FB-eNVs are promising therapeutic candidates for alopecia.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the loss of articular cartilage and is also an age-related disease. Recently, stem cell therapy for cartilage repair has emerged. The stem cells need to be cultured with a fetal bovine serum (FBS)-supplemented medium. The effect of FBS-containing exosomes on the differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMSCs) is unknown. The morphology, proliferation, surface marker expressions, and trilineage differentiation ability of two groups of HUCMSCs, cultured with conventional (FBS) and exosome-depleted FBS (Exo(-)FBS), were evaluated. In a mouse OA model after two groups of HUCMSCs transplantation, the rotarod activity, histology, and immunohistochemistry (type II collagen, aggrecan, IL-1β, and MMP13) of the cartilage were evaluated. The Exo(-)FBS-cultured HUCMSCs, like FBS-cultured HUCMSCs, displayed classic MSC characteristics, including spindle-shaped morphology, surface marker expression (positive for CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, and HLA-ABC and negative for CD34, CD45, and HLA-DR), and trilineage differentiation (chondrogenesis, osteogenesis, and adipogenesis). The Exo(-)FBS-cultured HUCMSCs proliferated significantly slower than those of the FBS-cultured HUCMSCs (p < 0.01). The trilineage gene expression of PPAR-γ, FABP4, APAL, type II collagen, aggrecan, and SOX9 was significantly increased in the Exo(-)FBS-cultured HUCMSCs than in the FBS-cultured HUCMSCs and undifferentiated controls. The Exo(-)FBS- and FBS-cultured HUCMSCs-transplanted mice showed a better rotarod activity than in the control OA mice (n = 3 in each group). A significant histological improvement in hyaline cartilage destruction after the transplantation of both types of FBS-cultured HUCMSCs was noted when compared with the OA knees. The Exo(-)FBS-cultured HUCMSCs-transplanted knees showed a higher International Cartilage Repair Society histological score (p < 0.05), staining intensity of type II collagen (p < 0.01), and aggrecan (p < 0.01) than in the control knees. Moreover, both types of the FBS-cultured HUCMSCs-transplanted knees significantly decreased the expression of MMP13 and IL-1β compared to that in the OA knees (p < 0.01). The Exo(-)FBS-cultured HUCMSCs harbor chondrogenic potential and attenuated cartilage destruction in a mouse OA model. Our study provides a basis for future clinical trials using Exo(-)FBS-cultured stem cells to treat OA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop exosome-mimetics derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (EM) as a novel nanoscale drug delivery system(nanoDDS) with improved tumor targeting activity, therapeutic effect, and biosafety, and to evaluate the therapeutic effect of doxorubicin loaded EM (EM-Dox) on neuroblastoma (NB) in vitro and in vivo. METHODS EM was prepared by serial extrusion of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), ammonium sulfate gradient method was used to promote the active loading of doxorubicin, and EM-Dox was obtained after removal of free doxorubicin by dialysis. The obtained EM and EM-Dox were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), Western Blot assay(WB), and the yield of exosomes and EM was further compared. Confocal fluorescent microscopy was used to verify the uptake of EM-Dox and free doxorubicin (Free-Dox) by NB cells. CCK-8 assay, cell cycle assay, and cell apoptosis assay were used to evaluate the antitumor effect of EM-Dox on NB cells in vitro. In addition, the targeted therapeutic effect and biosafety of EM-Dox against NB were evaluated in tumor-bearing nude mice. RESULTS TEM, NTA, and WB verified that both EM and EM-Dox feature highly similar morphology, size and marker protein expression in comparison with naturally occurred exosomes, but the particle size of EM-Dox increased slightly after loading doxorubicin. The protein yield and particle yield of EM-Dox were 16.8 and 26.3-folds higher than those of exosomes, respectively. Confocal fluorescent microscopy showed that EM and doxorubicin had a definite co-localization. EM-Dox was readily internalized in two well-established human NB cell lines. The intracellular content of doxorubicin in cells treated with EM-Dox was significantly higher than that treated with Free-Dox. CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry confirmed that EM-Dox could inhibit NB cell proliferation, induce G2/M phase cell cycle arrest, and promote NB cell apoptosis in vitro. In vivo bioluminescence imaging results demonstrated that EM-Dox effectively targets NB tumors in vivo. Compared with Free-Dox, EM-Dox had a significantly increased inhibitory effect against NB tumor proliferation and progression in vivo, without inducing any myocardial injury. CONCLUSIONS EM-Dox showed significantly increased anti-tumor activity in comparison with free doxorubicin in vitro and in vivo, and scalable EMs may represent a new class of NanoDDS that can potentially replace naturally occurred exosomes in preclinical or clinical translations.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a type of metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, primarily caused by defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Long-term chronic hyperglycemia can lead to diabetes-related complications, causing damage, dysfunction, and failure of different organs. However, traditional insulin and oral drug therapy can only treat the symptoms but not delay the progressive failure of pancreatic beta cells or prevent the emergence of diabetic complications. Mesenchymal stem cells have received extensive attention due to their strong immunoregulatory functions and regeneration effects. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) have been proposed as a novel treatment for diabetic patients as they have demonstrated superior efficiency to mesenchymal stem cells. This review summarizes the therapeutic effects, mechanisms, challenges, and future prospects of MSC-Exos in treating diabetes mellitus and its related complications. This review supports the potential use of MSC-Exos in future regenerative medicine to overcome the current difficulties in clinical treatment, particularly in treating diabetes.
