ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a progressive lung disorder with a high mortality rate; its therapy remains limited due to the inefficiency of drug delivery. In this study, the system of drug delivery of nintedanib (Nin) by exosomes derived from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs-Exo, Exo) was developed to effectively deliver Nin to lung lesion tissue to ensure enhanced anti-fibrosis therapy.METHODS:
The bleomycin (BLM)-induced PF model was constructed in vivo and in vitro. The effects of Exo-Nin on BLM-induced PF and its regulatory mechanism were examined using RT-qPCR, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and H&E staining.RESULTS:
We found Exo-Nin significantly improved BLM-induced PF in vivo and in vitro compared to Nin and Exo groups alone. Mechanistically, Exo-Nin alleviated fibrogenesis by suppressing endothelial-mesenchymal transition through the down-regulation of the TGF-ß/Smad pathway and the attenuation of oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro.CONCLUSIONS:
Utilizing adipose stem cell-derived exosomes as carriers for Nin exhibited a notable enhancement in therapeutic efficacy. This improvement can be attributed to the regenerative properties of exosomes, indicating promising prospects for adipose-derived exosomes in cell-free therapies for PF. IMPACT The system of drug delivery of nintedanib (Nin) by exosomes derived from adipose-derived stem cells was developed to effectively deliver Nin to lung lesion tissue to ensure enhanced anti-fibrosis therapy. The use of adipose stem cell-derived exosomes as the carrier of Nin may increase the therapeutic effect of Nin, which can be due to the regenerative properties of the exosomes and indicate promising prospects for adipose-derived exosomes in cell-free therapies for PF.
