technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical technology, and relates to a preparation method and application of exosomes expressing ACE2 protein. Background technique
[0002] The novel coronavirus belongs to the genus Coronavirus, and its basic structure consists of M protein, S protein, N protein, E protein, genomic single-stranded RNA and envelope. Studies have shown that the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 infecting the human body is similar to that of the S protein, which combines with the ACE2 protein of human cells to mediate the virus infecting the host.
[0003] Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a homologue of carboxypeptidase ACE. Under physiological conditions, ACE converts angiotensin I (Ang I) to angiotensin II (Ang II), thereby activating renin-vascular Tensin system (RAS), and ACE2, as a negative regulator of RAS, negatively regulates the activation of RAS by cutting and inactivating Ang II, thereby regulating the homeostasis of the bo...
