Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to a method for obtaining exosomes from cultured mesenchymal stem cells. Specifically, it relates to a method for inducing cultured mesenchymal stem cells to secrete exosomes under inflammatory factors and a hypoxic environment, followed by extraction. The exosomes obtained by this method can significantly enhance the anti-inflammatory activity of the cells. The mesenchymal stem cells of this invention are obtained from fat isolation and passage culture. Background Technology

[0002] Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a type of non-hematopoietic pluripotent stem cells derived from the mesoderm. It has been confirmed that in addition to their self-renewal, self-replication, and multi-lineage differentiation potential, MSCs also have strong anti-inflammatory and inhibitory abilities against various immune cells and can induce peripheral immune tolerance.Studies have shown that MSCs inhibit the function of immune cells (such as T cells, B cells, NK cells, antigen-presenting cells, etc.) by secreting various immunomodulatory factors, such as IFN-γ and PGE2 (see: Polchert D, Sobinsky J, Douglas G, Kidd M, Moadsiri A, Reina E, et al. IFN-gamma activation of mesenchymal stem cells for treatment and prevention of graft versus host disease. European journal of immunology. 2008; 38(6):1745-55. and Spaggiari GM, Abdelrazik H, Becchetti F, Moretta L. MSCs inhibit monocyte-derived DC maturation and function by selectively interfering with the generation of immature DCs: central role of MSC-derived prostaglandin E2. Blood. 2009; 113(26):6576-83.). (see: Corcione A, Benvenuto F, Ferretti) E, Giunti D, Cappiello V, Cazzanti F, et al. Human mesenchymal stem cells modulate B-cell functions. Blood. 2006; 107(1):367-72. And Di Nicola M, CarloStella C, Magni M, Milanesi M, Longoni PD, Matteucci P, et al. Human bonemarrow stromal cells suppress T-lymphocyte proliferation induced by cellular or nonspecific mitogenic stimuli. Blood. 2002;99(10):3838-43.).

[0003] Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have low immunogenicity. MSC-based cell therapy has been successfully applied to the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, bone and cartilage defects, diabetes, and other conditions. MSCs release various cytokines and growth factors through paracrine and autocrine processes. These secreted bioactive factors can inhibit fibrosis and apoptosis, enhance angiogenesis, and participate in tissue repair and regeneration.

[0004] Mesenchymal stem cells are abundant and can be obtained from tissues such as umbilical cord, placenta, bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, fat, and amnion.

[0005] Exosomes are membrane-bound microvesicles secreted by cells, with a diameter of approximately 30–200 nm and a density ranging from 1.13 to 1.19 g / ml. Exosomes can carry a variety of proteins, mRNAs, and miRNAs similar to those of their source cells, and participate in processes such as immune regulation, cell communication, cell migration, and angiogenesis (see: Yanez-Mo M, Siljander PR, Andreu Z, Zavec AB, Borras FE, Buzas EI, et al. Biological properties of extracellular vesicles and their physiological functions. Journal of extracellular vesicles. 2015; 4:27066.). Lai et al. found that exosomes derived from MSCs can reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and confirmed that exosome miRNAs can promote angiogenesis. Therefore, exosomes may become a new direction for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases (see: Lai RC, Arslan F, Lee MM, Sze NS, Choo A, Chen TS, et al. Exosome secreted by MSC reduces myocardial ischemia / reperfusion injury. Stem cell research. 2010; 4(3):214-22.). Xin et al. found that exosomes derived from MSCs can promote the growth of neural axons by transferring miR-133b to nerve cells (see: Xin H, Li Y, Buller B, Katakowski M, Zhang Y, Wang X, et al. Exosome mediated transfer of miR-133b from multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells to neural cells contributes to neurite outgrowth. Stem cells. 2012; 30(7):1556-64.).Filipazzi et al. found that tumor cell-derived exosomes can inhibit the cytotoxicity of T cells and NK cells through the NK cell activating receptor NKG2D (natural killer group 2, member D), thereby affecting the host's immune system (see: Filipazzi P, Burdek M, Villa A, Rivoltini L, Huber V. Recent advances on the role of tumor exosomes in immunosuppression and disease progression. Seminars in cancer biology. 2012; 22(4):342-9).

[0006] Exosomes, membrane vesicles secreted by living cells, were first discovered in 1983. With further research, they have been found to perform functions such as transporting proteins and nucleic acids, specifically targeting receptor cells, exchanging proteins and lipids, triggering downstream signaling events, and participating in intercellular communication, thus gaining increasing attention. Exosomes carry two types of proteins: non-specific and cell-specific. The former, likely related to the biogenesis and biological functions of exosomes, mainly includes cytosolic proteins, proteins involved in intracellular signal transduction, various metabolic enzymes, heat shock proteins, and tetraspan proteins. The other type consists of specific proteins, which are only present in exosomes secreted by certain specific cells. These cell-derived exosomes are closely related to their biological functions; for example, molecularly derived exosomes contain MHC class II molecules. Therefore, exosomes from different cell sources carry different signaling molecules and perform different functions. For example, exosomes secreted by tumor cells can mediate angiogenesis, tumor cell proliferation, and immune escape, while dendritic cell-derived exosomes can elicit an effective anti-tumor immune response. Existing studies have found that exosomes contain cell-derived protein rRNA and microRNA, and that exosomes can cross biological barriers to deliver functional nucleic acid molecules between cells, thereby performing various biological functions. Therefore, exosomes are expected to become a novel drug delivery route and gene therapy vector.

[0007] Exosomes are nanoscale lipid-encapsulated structures that encapsulate proteins, mRNA, and microRNA. They are naturally present in bodily fluids, including blood, saliva, urine, and breast milk. Exosomes are membrane-bound vesicles secreted by living cells, originating from late-stage endosomes (also known as multivesicular bodies). Almost all cells, including tumor cells, can produce and release exosomes. Released from cellular secretion, exosomes spread through bodily fluids such as blood and can eventually be phagocytosed by other cells, serving as important mediators of intercellular communication. Exosomes secreted by both host cells and tumor cells participate in cell growth, proliferation, metabolism, and regulation. Immune cells and tumor cells can also exchange information through exosomes. This communication plays a dual role in regulating tumor immunity: exosomes can both induce anti-tumor responses by inhibiting immune cells (DCs, NK cells, CD4+, CD8+ T cells, etc.) and induce or regulate immunosuppression in cell populations (MDSCs, Tregs, Bregs).

[0008] Current research has found that exosomes secreted by mesenchymal stem cells carry a variety of effective cytokines, proteins, and small nucleic acid molecules, which can effectively mediate cell proliferation, apoptosis, and functional regulation. Studies have shown that exosomes contain vascular endothelial growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, tumor necrosis factor, and tumor growth factor, which can inhibit apoptosis and fibrosis, promote angiogenesis and mitosis, and mediate immune responses. Experiments have demonstrated that insulin-like growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor carried by exosomes secreted by mesenchymal stem cells are key factors in the treatment of acute kidney injury. In terms of immunology, the lipid membrane surface of exosomes secreted by mesenchymal stem cells expresses various membrane proteins, such as coagulation factors, tumor necrosis factor, MHC I / II molecules, and CCR5 chemokine receptors. These lipid membrane surface proteins play an important role in resisting inflammation.

[0009] Currently, there are various methods and approaches for exosome extraction. Existing methods mainly employ ultracentrifugation or expensive column chromatography kits. However, ultracentrifugation results in inconsistent exosome quality, inconsistent yields, lengthy centrifugation times, and sometimes even failure to separate exosomes due to centrifugation time or speed, wasting time and money. Column chromatography kits are typically only suitable for obtaining small quantities of exosomes and are also expensive.

[0010] There are some existing reports on methods for isolating and extracting exosomes. For example, CN106282107A (Chinese Patent Application No. 201610779165.2) discloses a method for isolating exosomes from human placental mesenchymal stem cells; CN105708861A (Chinese Patent Application No. 201610149852.6) discloses the use of exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in the preparation of drugs for treating ankylosing spondylitis; CN105267240A (Chinese Patent Application No. 201410781765.3) discloses the use of exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells; CN104382827A (Chinese Patent Application No. 201410705462.3) discloses the use of exosomes from human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells; and CN103767985A (Chinese Patent Application No. 201210402915.6) discloses the preparation and application of exosomes secreted from human blood or mesenchymal stem cells. However, existing technologies that use mesenchymal stem cell culture supernatants from various sources to extract exosomes all suffer from drawbacks such as low yield and complex processes.

[0011] A type of stem cell with multipotent differentiation potential has been isolated from adipose tissue and successfully differentiated into adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and myocytes in a specialized in vitro culture system. These differentiateable stem cells are recognized as adipose-derived mesenchymal cells, or adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). ADSCs are a type of stem cell with multipotent differentiation potential isolated from adipose tissue in recent years. They possess the characteristic of differentiating into multiple germ layers, including the ability to differentiate into mesoderm, endoderm, and ectoderm cells, and can secrete many potentially beneficial growth factors and cytokines. Cell-based therapies to promote wound healing are rapidly developing. Adipose-derived stem cells are a group of pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells that can differentiate into other cell lines. A large number of adipose-derived cells exist in the non-adipose (mesenchymal) fragments of adipose tissue and are easily isolated and obtained.

[0012] Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are recommended as an adjunctive treatment for various tissue defects. Angiogenesis is a crucial step in wound healing; the formation of new blood vessels is essential for supporting granulation tissue formation and the survival and expansion of keratinocytes to heal wounds. Therefore, it is believed that ADSCs promote wound healing by rapidly inducing angiogenesis. Furthermore, ADSCs have also shown to promote wound healing through cell differentiation and the secretion of long-term factors that promote collagen synthesis and dermal fibroblast migration.

[0013] Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been combined with extracellular matrix scaffold components for use in animal skin and soft tissue wounds, revealing that ADSCs promote scaffold vascularization. Studies have shown that the wound-healing-promoting effect of ADSCs is related to their ability to promote epithelialization and granulation tissue formation, and ADSCs also possess potential epidermal cell differentiation capabilities. Further research suggests that the distant differentiation capacity of ADSCs is a response of pluripotent ADSCs to the wound microenvironment. ADSCs contribute to local vascular remodeling through direct differentiation into vascular endothelial cells and the secretion of angiogenesis factors, both of which benefit vascular regeneration. In other words, ADSCs promote wound healing through cell differentiation and angiogenesis. Furthermore, ADSCs have been combined with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a well-known factor involved in normal wound healing, for wound treatment. Research indicates a synergistic effect, potentially promoting wound healing by increasing PGF levels.

[0014] In theory, cell therapy holds great promise because pluripotent stem cells or progenitor cells promote wound healing by regenerating missing tissue and continuously providing numerous beneficial factors. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which adipose-derived stem cells contribute to wound healing still require further investigation. The remodeling of local blood vessels by adipose-derived stem cells includes direct differentiation into vascular endothelial cells and the secretion of angiogenesis factors, both of which are beneficial for vascular regeneration.

[0015] The application prospects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) have been validated through their use in various animal models of diseases. They have been used to intervene in the treatment of diabetes, liver damage repair, bladder reconstruction, type 2 diabetic eczema, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, cognitive impairment, stroke, intervertebral disc repair, glioblastoma treatment, bone defects, post-traumatic angiogenesis, rheumatoid arthritis, cleft lip and palate, heart failure, colitis, and urinary incontinence. Some researchers have transformed ADSCs into cardiomyocytes, reprogramming mature stem cells and improving the treatment of heart disease. Others have injected ADSCs, combined with fibrin glue, into the left ventricular wall of rats with myocardial infarction; ADSCs show great promise for clinical tissue engineering treatment of myocardial infarction. Furthermore, ADSCs, used as seed cells in a mesh scaffold, successfully repaired skull injuries in dogs, providing a potential clinical treatment for skull injuries. Studies have shown that injecting adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) from the abdominal fat of heart patients into their hearts reduced cardiac damage and increased blood flow. Six months after the injection, the patients' hearts showed improved oxygenation, and the left ventricle pumped 3.5 times more blood. Spelt imaging demonstrated a 5.7% increase in cardiac pumping capacity in patients receiving ADMSCs, and MRI scans showed a decrease in the average myocardial scar area from 31.6% to 15.4%. These findings were presented at the 2010 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions. During tissue repair, ADMSCs can regulate growth hormones and cytokines in surrounding tissues, preventing apoptosis. Experiments have shown that ADMSCs can secrete various skin growth factors, such as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), to promote fibroblast proliferation and possess anti-photoaging, antioxidant, anti-wrinkle, and anti-ultraviolet radiation effects. Research using ADMSCs to treat complex anal ulcers has entered Phase II clinical trials. Furthermore, human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells have been transplanted into the breasts of patients with breast atrophy, uneven size, or those requiring breast augmentation. The resulting breasts are symmetrical and balanced in size. Mammograms show that the repaired breasts are naturally soft, completely free of calcification, cysts, and obvious injection scars. Recent clinical studies have shown that intramuscular injection of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells also has some therapeutic effect on diabetic foot and arteriosclerosis obliterans. Six months after injection, patients experienced relief of resting pain, a significant increase in painless walking distance, and no complications were observed. Trials have shown that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells induced into islet-like cells and reinfused into diabetic patients, with a 23-month follow-up, resulted in a decrease in exogenous insulin usage, an increase in average weight, and no discomfort or side effects.

[0016] Scholars have discovered that adipose tissue participates in wound repair. When adipocytes are stimulated by trauma, gene expression undergoes stress response, leading to increased secretion of genes involved in the inflammatory matrix, including TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, intercellular adhesion factors, chemokines, acute response proteins, and receptors. These factors regulate the intrinsic therapeutic mechanisms by which adipocytes participate in repair, and this regulatory system warrants further consideration. The research findings enrich the theoretical foundation for wound repair. In clinical applications, fat transfusion therapy can achieve ideal therapeutic effects by accelerating wound repair in deep skin lesions affecting the subdermal fat layer. International researchers have also used tissue engineering techniques to prepare artificial skin containing adipocytes, collagen, and elastin. Clinical applications have shown that this reduces wound contraction caused by tissue repair of full-thickness skin defects, suggesting the presence of repair-functional factors and cells within adipose tissue.

[0017] The strong and rapid adhesion of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells to the extracellular matrix has enabled the development of specific methods for screening and culturing human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells both domestically and internationally. Furthermore, the biological properties of stem cells allow for enhanced function, avoidance of potentially harmful genes, and control over differentiation time and different differentiation directions. These advantages provide irreplaceable guidance in basic research, clinical treatment, stem cell therapy research, skin regeneration and repair, and the construction of highly tissue-engineered skin.

[0018] Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs), as mesenchymal stem cells derived from fat, are easy to obtain, with an extraction efficiency 40 times higher than that of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and they proliferate faster under in vitro culture conditions. They possess multi-lineage differentiation capabilities, capable of differentiating into adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, cardiomyocytes, and even nerve cells. Current Phase I and Phase II clinical trials have demonstrated that ADSCs are safe and effective in repairing injuries to various organs, including the heart, rectum, and breast. Furthermore, studies have confirmed that ADSCs promote skin regeneration and repair.

[0019] ADSCs exhibit inherent advantages in several aspects. Belonging to the monocyte family, ADSCs are a type of adult stem cell. Derived from processed adipose tissue, they grow in cell culture dishes using adherent and adhesive methods and possess diverse differentiation capabilities. They can differentiate not only into adipocytes but also into myocytes, chondrocytes, nerve cells, vascular endothelial cells, osteocytes, etc., thus finding widespread application in tissue engineering. For example, ADSCs can self-replicate and differentiate into adipocytes, playing a role in tissue regeneration; ADSCs can differentiate into vascular endothelial cells or peripheral cells; ADSCs can secrete angiogenesis factors under hypoxic or other conditions; when ADSCs are transplanted together with adipocytes, they can differentiate into endothelial cells, preventing fibrosis and fat necrosis, and improving fat survival rate; recent studies have shown that ADSCs can express various cytokines such as VEGF, IGF, TGF-β1, bFGF, and EGF, and also prevent apoptosis and maintain adipocyte survival rate by expressing angiogenesis factors such as VEGF and IGF-1.

[0020] Numerous methods for culturing adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells have been disclosed in the prior art. For example, CN106479970A (201611050980.1) discloses a method for large-scale culture of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells; CN104762260A (201510197879.8) relates to a method for preparing adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells; CN104974984A (application number 201510173453.9) discloses a method for expanding and culturing mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue; CN106 Application No. 520686A (201610887111.8) discloses a method for culturing adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells; Application No. 201010580537.1 (CN101984049A) discloses a method for isolating mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue; Application No. 201110310461.5 (CN102329783A) discloses a method for isolating adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells from the tumescent fluid in a surgical liposuction procedure.

[0021] In addition, the inventors of this application also provided an effective method for isolating and culturing primary adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in Chinese patent ZL2020113812050.

[0022] However, the art still anticipates new methods for isolating and extracting exosomes, particularly exolizing them through mesenchymal stem cell secretion in a simple, readily available, and high-yield manner. Furthermore, the art also anticipates providing a method for treating inflammatory diseases, such as a method for treating inflammatory diseases using exosomes. In particular, the art particularly anticipates providing a method for treating inflammatory diseases using exosomes isolated from human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The object of this invention is to provide a novel method for isolating and extracting exosomes, particularly a method that enables the simple, readily available, and high-yield extraction of exosomes from mesenchymal stem cell secretion. It has been unexpectedly discovered that the method of this invention can advantageously achieve the above-mentioned object. This invention is based on this discovery.

[0024] The mesenchymal stem cells involved in this invention are derived from adipose tissue.

[0025] Therefore, the first aspect of the present invention provides exosomes isolated and extracted using adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, having an average particle size of 50 to 200 nm, for example, having an average particle size of 75 to 150 nm.

[0164] Although MSC-derived exosomes possess numerous advantages, such as promoting angiogenesis, cell proliferation, growth, and migration, the vast majority of MSC-derived exosomes cultured using conventional methods do not exhibit significant effects in mediating inflammation regulation. Therefore, this invention designs a method to induce MSC culture and isolate purified exosomes secreted by MSCs using a hypoxia partial pressure combined with inflammatory factor stimulation. These exosomes demonstrate excellent inflammation-regulating effects in vitro, providing a novel approach for exosome-based treatment of inflammatory diseases. Attached Figure Description

IL-1β, sodium tartrate, and lysine hydrochloride were then added to the culture medium to a concentration of 12 ng / mL, 0.125 mg / mL, and 2.5 mg / mL, respectively. The flasks were then incubated for another 24 hours.

[0241] (2) Discard the culture medium and replace it with fresh MSC complete culture medium. Continue to culture the cells in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator until the cell confluence is ≥80%.

[0242] (3) Discard the culture medium, wash 3 times with PBS, then add 15 mL of MSC complete culture medium to each bottle, and then incubate in a 37℃, 2% O2, 5% CO2 incubator for 48 hours.

[0243] (4) Transfer 30 ml of cell supernatant (from two culture flasks) into a 50 ml centrifuge tube and centrifuge as follows:

[0245] Centrifuge at 1500g, 4℃ for 25 minutes (to further remove cell debris and other impurities), and transfer the supernatant to another (high-speed) centrifuge tube;

[0246] Centrifuge at 12000g, 4℃ for 25 minutes (to further remove smaller cell debris and impurities), and filter the supernatant through a 0.22μm filter membrane (PES filter membrane, millipore) and place it in another (ultra-speed) centrifuge tube;

[0247] Centrifuge at 80000g, 4℃ for 120 minutes, and discard the supernatant;

[0248] (5) Add 25 ml of sterile PBS to the centrifuge tube to resuspend the exosome precipitate, centrifuge at 120000 g and 4 °C for 75 minutes, discard the supernatant, add 1 mL of sterile PBS to resuspend the exosome, and obtain 1 ml of exosome suspension, which can be stored at -80 °C and / or aliquoted for performance testing.

[0249] Example 3c: Referring to Examples 3, 3a and 3b respectively, the only difference is that sodium tartrate is not added in step (1), resulting in three batches of exosomes, which can be recorded as Example 3c1, Example 3c2 and Example 3c3 respectively.

[0250] Example 3d: Refer to Examples 3, 3a and 3b respectively, except that lysine hydrochloride is not added in step (1), and three batches of exosomes are obtained, which can be recorded as Example 3d1, Example 3d2 and Example 3d3 respectively.

[0251] Example 4: Transmission electron microscopy observation of exosome particles

[0252] 1. Take 50 μl of the separated and purified exosome precipitate, add an equal volume of 2.5% glutaraldehyde, and fix in a 4℃ refrigerator for 1 hour;

[0253] 2. Add 20 μl of the fixed exosome suspension to the front side of the copper mesh and let it stand for 20 min;

[0254] 3. Carefully absorb the excess solution with absorbent filter paper; then rinse the copper mesh with ultrapure water 5 times, 30 seconds each time, and blot dry with filter paper.

[0255] 4. Add 1 drop of 2% uranium acetate staining solution to the front of the copper mesh, stain for 1 minute, and then use filter paper to blot away the excess staining solution along the edge of the copper mesh.

[0256] 5. Place the copper mesh in room temperature air to dry naturally. After it is completely dry, observe it on the machine and calculate and statistically analyze the particle size and distribution of exosomes.

[0257] The exosomes (suspensions) obtained in the various embodiments of the present invention were tested using the above methods. The number of exosomes obtained from 1.2 × 10^6 cells (2 culture flasks) in each example was calculated. The results were as follows: the number of exosome particles in Example 2, Example 2a, and Example 2b were 9.4 × 10^9, 8.7 × 10^9, and 11.4 × 10^9, respectively; the number of exosome particles in Example 3, Example 3a, and Example 3b were 124.3 × 10^9, 133.2 × 10^9, and 109.8 × 10^9, respectively; the number of exosome particles in Example 3c1, Example 3c2, and Example 3c3 were 12.2 × 10^9, 9.7 × 10^9, and 10.3 × 10^9, respectively; and the number of exosome particles in Example 3d1, Example 3d2, and Example 3d3 were 9.2 × 10^9, 9.8 × 10^9, and 11.6 × 10^9, respectively. Taking the exosomes in Example 2 as an example, the initial number of MSC cells was 1.2 × 10^6 cells, and the volume of exosomes obtained was 1 ml. The measured concentration of exosomes was 9.4 × 10^9 particles / mL, which is equivalent to obtaining 9.4 × 10^9 exosomes from 1.2 × 10^6 cells. The phrase "9.4 × 10^9 exosomes" above refers to 9.4 multiplied by 10 to the power of 9 exosomes; other similar expressions have similar meanings.

The average particle size of all exosomes obtained in Examples 2, 2a, 2b, 3, 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d was measured to be in the range of 102–144 nm. For example, the peak particle size of the exosomes in Example 3 was 113.7 ± 4.4 nm, and the average particle size was 131.7 ± 1.6 nm. Figure 3 A scatter plot of the particle size distribution of exosomes from Example 3 is shown. Figure 4 The particle size distribution curve of exosomes from Example 3 is shown.

The positive expression rate of CD9 was 78.3%, and the positive expression rate of CD81 was 95.4%. The expression levels of the exosomal membrane proteins CD9 and CD81 obtained in other examples are similar to those in Example 3. Figure 5 and Figure 6 No significant difference.

[0274] Example 6: Detection of exosome protein content

[0275] This example uses the Pierce™ Protein Quantitative Kit (catalog number: 23225, Thermo Scientific) for testing.

[0276] 1. Take 10 μl of 5 mg / mL BCA (2,2-biquinoline-4,4-dicarboxylate disodium salt) standard, dilute with PBS to a final concentration of 0.5 mg / mL, and use this as the BCA standard solution. Add 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 20 μL of this standard solution to the protein standard wells of a 96-well plate, and add PBS to bring the total to 20 μL.

[0277] 2. Dilute the exosome sample appropriately and add 20 μL to the wells of a 96-well plate. Since pipettes have a larger margin of error when taking small amounts of sample, the points before the standard line may not be very accurate. Therefore, try to ensure the sample concentration point falls within half of the standard line.

[0278] 3. Add 200 μL of BCA working solution to each well and incubate at 37°C for 15-30 minutes. Measure the OD value at A562 nm using a microplate reader and calculate the protein concentration based on the standard curve.

[0279] The standard curve is y = 0.9999x - 0.0488, where x is the OD value and y is the exosome protein concentration in mg / ml.

[0280] The exosomes (suspensions) obtained in each embodiment of the present invention were detected using the above methods. The protein content of exosomes obtained from 1.2 × 10^6 cells in each embodiment was calculated. The results were as follows: the protein content of Examples 2, 2a, and 2b was 66.4 μg, 56.2 μg, and 71.7 μg, respectively; the protein content of Examples 3, 3a, and 3b was 276.8 μg, 303.7 μg, and 297.4 μg, respectively; and the protein content of the six exosome samples in Examples 3c and 3d was in the range of 61–74 μg.

[0281] Example 7: An ELISA assay to detect the immunomodulatory effect of exosomes on TNF-α secretion by PBMC cells

[0282] Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses. It is primarily produced by activated monocytes and macrophages and functions in vivo in two forms: transmembrane TNF (tmTNF) and secreted TNF (sTNF). tmTNF is distributed as a membrane protein on cells that secrete TNF-α, and after activation and cleavage by the TACE (TNF-α-converting enzyme), it is converted into sTNF. There are two types of TNFα receptors (TNFRⅠ and TNFRⅡ), present on the surface of various cells. The binding of TNFα to TNFR often induces apoptosis, inflammation, and tumorigenesis.

[0283] The exosomes secreted by mesenchymal stem cells in the method of this invention can inhibit the release of TNF-α from lymphocytes. In this experiment, exosomes extracted and purified from mesenchymal stem cells and PBMCs were co-cultured in a certain ratio. Then, the expression level of TNF-α in the cell supernatant was detected by ELISA. The inhibitory ability of exosomes on the release of TNF-α from lymphocytes was detected by analyzing the changes in the expression level of TNF-α.

[0284] 1. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy adults using the Ficoll method. PBMCs were resuspended in serum-free immunocellular medium (Miltenyi, containing 2.5% serum substitute) to adjust the PBMC density to 4 × 10^5 / ml. Then, 50 μl of CD3 / CD28 magnetic beads (Thermofisher) were added to each ml of PBMC suspension. After mixing the PBMCs and magnetic beads, 0.5 ml of PBMCs was added to the wells of a 24-well plate, and 50 μl of a suspension containing 1 × 10^7 exosomes was added to each well. Experimental wells (PBMCs activated with magnetic beads and with added exosomes), control wells (PBMCs activated with magnetic beads but without added exosomes), negative wells (PBMCs not activated with magnetic beads), and blank wells (containing only serum-free immunocellular medium).

[0285] 2. After co-culturing for 5 days, collect the supernatant of the co-culture medium; then centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes; collect the supernatant.

[0286] 3. Remove the TNF-α detection ELISA kit (R&D Systems) and reagents from the refrigerator and place them at room temperature (equilibrate to room temperature before use). Remove the microplate strips and place them in the microplate strip holder. Put the remaining microplate strips back into the foil bag, seal it, and put it back in the refrigerator.

[0287] 4. Take one TNF-α standard, add 0.95 ml of deionized water, and gently pipette to dissolve PGE2, preparing a standard stock solution with a concentration of 10000 pg / ml. Incubate the dissolved PGE2 standard at room temperature for 1 minute, and gently shake the TNF-α standard 2-3 times every 4-5 minutes. Then, take seven 1.5 ml EP tubes and dilute the TNF-α standard into different concentration gradients using Calibrator Diluent RD6-12: 1000 pg / ml, 500 pg / ml, 250 pg / ml, 125 pg / ml, 62.5 pg / ml, 31.3 pg / ml, and 15.6 pg / ml.

[0288] 5. Sample dilution: For each sample to be tested, take an appropriate amount of the sample and dilute it with Calibrator Diluent RD6-12 to an exosome protein concentration of 5 μg / ml;

[0289] 6. Sample addition and incubation: Add 50 μl of Assay Diluent RD1F to each well of the microplate; add 50 μl of culture medium to each well, repeating 3 times as a control group; add 50 μl of standard solutions of different concentrations to each well, repeating 3 times each; add 50 μl of diluted sample to each well, repeating 3 times each; carefully cover the microplate with the membrane and shake at 450 rpm at room temperature for 2 hours.

[0290] 7. Carefully peel off the film, pour out the liquid inside the microplate, and invert the microplate onto absorbent paper and tap it a few times; add 300μl of 1×Wash Buffer to each well, then pour out the 1×Wash Buffer, and invert the microplate onto absorbent paper and tap it a few times; repeat 3 times.

[0291] 8. Add 200 μl of TNF-α Conjugate to each well, carefully cover with a new membrane, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours;

[0292] 9. Carefully peel off the film, pour out the liquid inside the microplate, and invert the microplate onto absorbent paper and tap it a few times; add 300μl of 1×Wash Buffer to each well, then pour out the 1×Wash Buffer, and invert the microplate onto absorbent paper and tap it a few times; repeat 3 times.

[0293] 10. Add 200 μl of Substrate Solution to each well and let it stand at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes; then add 50 μl of Stop Solution to each well.

[0294] 11. Read OD value: Place the microplate into the microplate reader (Thermofisher, Multiscan), then set the microplate reader program, detect the absorbance at a wavelength of 450nm, and perform data analysis;

[0295] 12. After subtracting the average OD value of the blank group from the results, the Origin software was used to plot the standard curve. The theoretical concentration at each point of the standard curve was used as the X-axis and the absorbance value as the Y-axis. Logarithmic transformation was performed on both sides, and the four-parameter method was used for fitting. The standard curve was plotted, the absorbance value of the sample was input, and the TNF-α concentration value of the sample was calculated.

[0296] The above method was used to determine the level of TNF-α secretion by PBMCs inhibited by exosomes. Results:

[0297] The TNF-α level in the negative group was 802.2 pg / ml.

[0298] The TNF-α level in the control group was 5203.7 pg / ml.

[0299] In Examples 2, 2a, and 2b, the TNF-α levels in the experimental groups ranged from 1044 to 1307 pg / ml. For example, in Example 2, the TNF-α level in the experimental group was 1143.2 pg / ml.

[0300] The TNF-α levels in the experimental groups of Examples 3, 3a, and 3b ranged from 1103 to 1367 pg / ml. For example, the TNF-α level in the experimental group of Example 3 was 1241.4 pg / ml.

[0301] The TNF-α levels in the experimental groups of Examples 3c and 3d were in the range of 1173–1407 pg / ml.

[0302] Example 8: RT-PCR analysis of the inhibitory effect of exosomes on TNF-α gene expression in PBMCs

[0303] 1.

After centrifugation at 300 g for 5 minutes, the supernatant was discarded, and 1 ml of Trizol reagent (Life) was added to the precipitate. The precipitate was incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow for complete lysis.
