The application relates to the technical field of biological
medicine, and discloses an engineered
exosome, a preparation method and purposes thereof. The method comprises the following steps: introducing an exogenous
nucleic acid coding a human TIMP3
protein into endothelial
progenitor cells to construct engineered cells, and obtaining exosomes by separating and purifying the supernatant after culture. The engineered
exosome is secreted by the endothelial
progenitor cells and is efficiently loaded with the TIMP3, and has both
cell homing characteristics and
protease inhibition functions. The
exosome can significantly inhibit
matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) activity, reduce
extracellular matrix degradation, and improve the
structural stability of a
blood vessel wall. The application provides a novel and efficient
cell-free delivery strategy for treating
aortic dissection,
aneurysm and other vascular remodeling diseases.
