Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a progressive neurodegenerative disease with no cure. Treatment of AD relies on administering drugs that only subside the symptoms. In recent studies, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-exosomes have been marked to possess therapeutic potential for treating AD. This study aims to systematically review and analyse findings that focus on the isolation, characterisation, and sources of MSC-derived exosomes used to unravel the therapeutic potential of these exosomes targeting AD using in vitro and in vivo models. It is hypothesised that MSC-exosomes exhibit high therapeutic potential for AD treatment by exerting various modes of action. PubMed, Scopus, and Medline were used to find relevant published works from January 2016 until December 2020, using assigned keywords including "Alzheimer's disease", "secretome", and "exosomes". Only research articles meeting the predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria were selected and analysed. The risk of bias was assessed using the Office of Health Assessment and Translation tool (OHAT). A total of 17 eligible in vivo and in vitro studies were included in this review. Bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) were the most used source for exosome isolation, even though studies on exosomes from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and human umbilical cord stem cells (HUCSCs) provide more information on the characteristics. When the risk of bias was assessed, the studies presented various levels of biases. Notably, the in vitro and in vivo studies revealed neuroprotective properties of MSC-exosomes through different modes of action to alleviate AD pathology. Our review discovered that most MSC exosomes could degrade Aβ plaques, enhance neurogenesis, extenuate neuroinflammatory response through microglial activation, regulate apoptosis and reduce oxidative stress. Delivery of exosomal micro-RNAs was also found to reduce neuroinflammation. Findings from this review provided convincing systematic evidence highlighting the therapeutic properties of MSC-derived exosomes as a prospective source for cell-free (acellular) therapy in treating AD.
期刊介绍:
Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics (CBB) aims to publish papers on the nature of the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms underlying the structure, control and function of cellular systems
The reports should be within the framework of modern biochemistry and chemistry, biophysics and cell physiology, physics and engineering, molecular and structural biology. The relationship between molecular structure and function under investigation is emphasized.
Examples of subject areas that CBB publishes are:
· biochemical and biophysical aspects of cell structure and function;
· interactions of cells and their molecular/macromolecular constituents;
· innovative developments in genetic and biomolecular engineering;
· computer-based analysis of tissues, cells, cell networks, organelles, and molecular/macromolecular assemblies;
· photometric, spectroscopic, microscopic, mechanical, and electrical methodologies/techniques in analytical cytology, cytometry and innovative instrument design
For articles that focus on computational aspects, authors should be clear about which docking and molecular dynamics algorithms or software packages are being used as well as details on the system parameterization, simulations conditions etc. In addition, docking calculations (virtual screening, QSAR, etc.) should be validated either by experimental studies or one or more reliable theoretical cross-validation methods.
