Research progress of exosomes in pathogenesis and treatment of preeclampsia.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a critical and severe disease in obstetrics, which seriously affects maternal and neonatal life safety and long-term prognosis. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of PE are complex, and no unified conclusion has been reached. The types and number of exosomes and their transport substances in PE patients changed. The study of exosomes in PE patients helps clarify the etiology, diagnosis, effective treatment, accurate monitoring, and prognosis. The published articles were reviewed. Exosomes may affect endothelial and vascular production and function, participate in maternal-fetal immune regulation, and transport substances such as miRNAs, lncRNAs, and proteins involved in the development of PE. Detection of the contents of exosomes can help in the early diagnosis of PE, and can help to improve PE by inhibiting the action of exosomes or preventing their binding to target organs. Exosomes may be involved in the development of PE, and exosomes can be used as markers for predicting the onset of PE and tracking the disease process and determining the prognosis, and exosomes have great potential in the treatment of PE.

Research progress of exosomes from different sources in myocardial ischemia.

Ischemic heart disease refers to the imbalance between the supply and demand of myocardial blood; it has various causes and results in a class of clinical diseases characterized by myocardial ischemia (MI). In recent years, the incidence of cardiovascular disease has become higher and higher, and the number of patients with ischemic heart disease has also increased year by year. Traditional treatment methods include drug therapy and surgical treatment, both of which have limitations. The former maybe develop risks of drug resistance and has more significant side effects, while the latter may damage blood vessels and risk infection. At this stage, a new cell-free treatment method needs to be explored. Many research results have shown that exosomes from different cell sources can protect the ischemic myocardium via intercellular action methods, such as promoting angiogenesis, inhibiting myocardial fibrosis, apoptosis and pyroptosis, and providing a new basis for the treatment of MI. In this review, we briefly introduce the formation and consequences of myocardial ischemia and the biology of exosomes, and then focus on the role and mechanism of exosomes from different sources in MI. We also discuss the role and mechanism of exosomes pretreated with Chinese and Western medicines on myocardial ischemia. We also discuss the potential of exosomes as diagnostic markers and therapeutic drug for MI.

Research progress of exosomes in drug resistance of breast cancer.

Since breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, there are currently a variety of treatment methods available, including chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, molecular targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, etc. Breast cancer recurrence and metastasis, despite many treatment modalities, constitute a considerable threat to patients' survival time and pose a clinical challenge that is difficult to tackle precisely. Exosomes have a very special and crucial role in the treatment of drug resistance in breast cancer as a carrier of intercellular communication in the tumor microenvironment. Exosomes and breast cancer treatment resistance have been linked in a growing number of clinical investigations in recent years. This paper covers the status of research on exosomes in the treatment of breast cancer drug resistance and offers theoretical guidance for investigating new strategies to treat breast cancer drug resistance.

Finally, we further summarized the opportunities and challenges of exosomes for precision medicine. The extension of exosome research to the field of ophthalmology will help advance current diagnostic and therapeutic methods. Tiny exosomes have huge potential.

Research progress of exosomes in orthopedics

Exosomes are nano-extracellular vesicles secreted by a variety of cells. They are composed of a double-layer membrane that can transport a variety of proteins, coding and non-coding genes, and bioactive substances. Exosomes participate in information transmission between cells and regulate processes such as cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and phenotypic transformation. They have broad prospects in the occurrence, development, and treatment of many diseases including orthopedics. Exosomes derived from different types of bone cells such as mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and their precursors are recognized to play pivotal roles in bone remodeling processes including osteogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and angiogenesis. This articlesummarizes the characteristics of exosomes and their research progress in bone remodeling, bone tumors, vascular skeletal muscle injury, spinal cord injury, degenerative disc diseases, cartilage degeneration, osteoarthritis, necrosis of the femoral head, and osteoporosis.

Research Advance of Exosomes in the Immune Microenvironment of Hematological Malignancies--Review

Exosomes are microvesicles that can be secreting in many kinds of cells, under the condition of normal and pathology. Exosomes contain abundant proteins, miRNAs and RNA fragments, which play an important role in communicating between cells, especially non-contact cells. The interaction between blood tumor cells and immune microenvironment is inseparable from the involvement of exosomes. Exosomes are involved in the interaction among tumor cells, NK cells, T cells, stromal cells and endothelial cells, such as promoting the proliferation of blood tumor cells, helping blood tumor cells to achieve immune evasion, promoting angiogenesis and migration of tumor cells. Therefore, exosomes are closely related to the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of hematological tumors. In this review, the basic characteristics of exosomes, the important role of exosomes in the immune microenvironment of hematological tumors, and the research progress of exosomes in clinical applications was sammrized briefly.

Research progress of exosomes in epithelial-mesenchymal transition

Exosome, a membranous vesicle with biological activity, not only transmits active substances between cells but also transfers information between cells to participate in cell communication. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process by which epithelial cells acquire migratory and invasive properties to become mesenchymal stem cells. EMT is essential for the development of a spectrum of diseases. Studies have shown that exosomes have dual effects on EMT to, on the one hand, promote EMT and tumor cell invasion and metastasis and accelerate angiogenesis and tumor growth; on the other hand, exosomes can suppress tumor cell invasion, inhibit fibrosis of the heart, liver and kidney, and improve myocardial infarction by inhibiting EMT. Exosomes modulate EMT-related signaling pathways by carrying EMT-related proteins or miRNA to exert their bi-directional regulatory effects.
