Abstract
Purpose
The bidirectional regulation of macrophages and exosomes provides a meaningful research direction for the treatment of complications arising from both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, there is currently no comprehensive evaluation of the bidirectional regulatory role of macrophages and exosomes in diabetic complications. In this review, we aim to provide the detailed process of the bidirectional regulation mechanism of macrophages and exosomes, and how macrophage-associated exosomes use this mechanism to make it better applied to clinical practice through biotechnology.
Methods
Therefore, we summarized the bidirectional regulation mechanism of macrophages and exosomes and the application based on the bidirectional regulation mechanism from two aspects of inflammation and insulin resistance.
Results
As key regulators of the immune system, macrophages are crucial in the progression of diabetic complications due to their significant impact on the regulation of cellular metabolism, inflammation, and insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, exosomes, as innovative mediators of intercellular communication, transport miRNAs, proteins, and various bioactive molecules, influencing the occurrence and progression of diabetic complications through the regulation of inflammation and insulin resistance. The bidirectional regulation between macrophages and exosomes provides a promising pathway for the treatment of diabetic complications aimed at regulating the immune response and improving insulin sensitivity.
Conclusions
Understanding the complexity of the interaction between macrophages and exosomes can advance the treatment of diabetic complications and drug development, and bringing more innovative and effective treatment strategies for diabetic complications.
期刊介绍:
The field of cellular and molecular bioengineering seeks to understand, so that we may ultimately control, the mechanical, chemical, and electrical processes of the cell. A key challenge in improving human health is to understand how cellular behavior arises from molecular-level interactions. CMBE, an official journal of the Biomedical Engineering Society, publishes original research and review papers in the following seven general areas:
Molecular: DNA-protein/RNA-protein interactions, protein folding and function, protein-protein and receptor-ligand interactions, lipids, polysaccharides, molecular motors, and the biophysics of macromolecules that function as therapeutics or engineered matrices, for example.
Cellular: Studies of how cells sense physicochemical events surrounding and within cells, and how cells transduce these events into biological responses. Specific cell processes of interest include cell growth, differentiation, migration, signal transduction, protein secretion and transport, gene expression and regulation, and cell-matrix interactions.
Mechanobiology: The mechanical properties of cells and biomolecules, cellular/molecular force generation and adhesion, the response of cells to their mechanical microenvironment, and mechanotransduction in response to various physical forces such as fluid shear stress.
Nanomedicine: The engineering of nanoparticles for advanced drug delivery and molecular imaging applications, with particular focus on the interaction of such particles with living cells. Also, the application of nanostructured materials to control the behavior of cells and biomolecules.
