Studies showing immunomodulatory role of mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes.

Articles Conclusion of the Study Reference
Immunomodulatory potential of human adipose mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes on in vitro stimulated T cells MSCs-derived exosomes are a cell-derived product that could be considered as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of inflammation-related diseases. [31]
Immunomodulatory effects of mesenchymal stromal cells-derived exosome IDO showed no significant changes in PBMCs exposed to MSCs-derived exosome. They conclude that exosome and MSCs might differ in their immune-modulating activities and mechanisms. [14]
Mesenchymal stromal cell exosomes ameliorate experimental bronchopulmonary dysplasia and restore lung function through macrophage immunomodulation The MSC-derived exosome mechanism of action is associated with modulation of lung macrophage phenotype. [32]
Mesenchymal stem cell and derived exosome as small RNA carrier and Immunomodulator to improve islet transplantation This work elucidated the mechanisms of RNA delivery from hBMSCs to human islets and the immunosuppressive effect of hBMSC and peripheral blood mononuclear cell co-cultured exosomes for improving islet transplantation. [33]
Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes: immunomodulatory evaluation in an antigen-induced synovitis porcine model The study suggested immunomodulatory effect of the exosomes and pointed out that they may represent a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of synovitis. [34]
Immunomodulatory effects of mesenchymal stem cell–derived exosomes on experimental type-1 autoimmune diabetes AD-MSC’s exosomes exert ameliorative effects on autoimmune T1DM through increasing regulatory T-cell population and their products without a change in the proliferation index of lymphocytes, which makes them more effective and practical candidates. [35]
Study of immunomodulatory function of exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) The hUC-MSCs-exosome has the immunomodulatory function in vitro, which could be a new therapeutic agent for the treatment of immune disorders. [36]
Primed mesenchymal stem cells package exosomes with metabolites associated with immunomodulation MSCs exposed to priming culture conditions undergo glycolytic reprogramming, which homogenizes MSCs’ metabolomic profile [37]
The secretome of mesenchymal stromal cells: role of extracellular vesicles in immunomodulation Mesenchymal stromal cells influence the cells of the immune system. This influence is mainly due to the release of paracrine factors [38]
Mesenchymal stem cells secrete immunologically active exosomes Infusion of MSC exosomes enhanced the survival of allogenic skin graft in mice and increased Tregs. [1]
Mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (Exos) are more immunosuppressive than microparticles (MPs) in inflammatory arthritis MSCs-derived MPs and Exos exerted an anti-inflammatory role on T and B lymphocytes independently of MSCs priming. [88]
