Article Abstract

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have protective effects on the cornea, lacrimal gland, retina, and photoreceptor cell damage, which may be mediated by exosomes (exos) released by MSCs.

Aim: To investigate the ameliorating effect of exos derived from different MSCs on retinal ganglion cell (RGC) injury induced by hydrostatic pressure.

Methods: The RGC injury model was constructed by RGC damage under different hydrostatic pressures (40, 80, 120 mmHg). Then RGCs were cultured with adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC)-Exos and bone marrow-derived stem cell (BMSC)-Exos. Cell Counting Kit-8, transmission electron microscopy, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and western blotting were performed to detect the ameliorating effect of exos on pressure-induced RGC injury.

Results: ADSC-Exos and BMSC-Exos were successfully isolated and obtained. The gibbosity of RGCs was lower, the cells were irregularly ellipsoidal under pressure, and the addition of ADSC-Exos and BMSC-Exos significantly restored RGC morphology. Furthermore, the proliferative activity of RGCs was increased and the apoptosis of RGCs was inhibited. Moreover, the levels of lactate dehydrogenase and apoptosis-related proteins were increased, and the concentrations of antiapoptotic proteins and neurotrophic factors were decreased in damaged RGCs. However, the above indicators were significantly improved after ADSC-Exos and BMSC-Exos treatment.

Conclusion: These findings indicated that ADSC-Exos and BMSC-Exos could ameliorate RGC injury caused by hydrostatic pressure by inhibiting apoptosis and increasing the secretion of neurotrophic factors.

Exosomes-loaded hydrogels have potential value in wound treatment. Current studies focus on improving hydrogels' biocompatibility and optimizing different stem cell-derived exosomes for better therapeutic effect. Herein, we present a novel biocompatible recombinant human collagen (RHC) hydrogel loading with different MSCs-derived exosomes for promoting wound healing.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the effectiveness of stem cell-derived exosomes in treating ischemic stroke and examined the best ways to administer them.
  • A comprehensive review of research found that different administration routes (intravenous, intranasal, intracerebral) varied in success, with intravenous being the most effective in reducing stroke-related damage.
  • Specific types of exosomes, particularly those from adipose and bone marrow stem cells, showed significant benefits in reducing stroke damage, while engineered exosomes performed better than their unmodified counterparts.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a collective term for nanoscale or microscale vesicles secreted by cells that play important biological roles. Mesenchymal stem cells are a class of cells with the potential for self-healing and multidirectional differentiation. In recent years, numerous studies have shown that EVs, especially those secreted by mesenchymal stem cells, can promote the repair and regeneration of various tissues and, thus, have significant potential in regenerative medicine.
