Abstract:
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of differentiating into various cell types and play a crucial role in repairing aging tissues and diseased organs. Aging manifests as a gradual loss of cellular, tissue, and organ function, leading to the progression of pathologies. Exosomes (Exos) are extracellular vesicles secreted by cells, which maintain cellular homeostasis, clear cellular debris, and facilitate communication between cells and organs. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the mechanisms for the synthesis and sorting of MSC-Exo miRNAs and summarizes the current research status of MSCs-Exos in mitigating aging and age-related diseases. It delves into the underlying molecular mechanisms, which encompass antioxidative stress, anti-inflammatory response, and the promotion of angiogenesis. Additionally, this review also discusses potential challenges in and future strategies for advancing MSC-Exo miRNA-based therapies in the treatment of aging and age-related diseases.
