Abstract
A large body of animal studies across multiple laboratories has found that a subset of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC-sEVs) referred to as exosomes can improve functional recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). Sufficient pre-clinical data have been accumulated to consider how MSC-sEVs might be used clinically for the treatment of SCI. This review discusses: (1) the SCI patient population which may benefit from MSC-sEVs treatments, (2) potential sources of MSCs for production of clinically useful MSC-sEVs, (3) dosaging of MSC-sEVs required for therapeutic efficacy, (4) timing and method of delivery of the sEVs, (5) cell targets of MSC-sEVs and their mechanism of action, (6) possible protocols for producing clinically useful quantities of MSC-sEVs, and (7) the criteria for evaluating an MSC-sEVs treatment product. We conclude with some thoughts about potential protocols for clinical trials of MSC-sEVs treatment for SCI.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Neurotrauma is the flagship, peer-reviewed publication for reporting on the latest advances in both the clinical and laboratory investigation of traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. The Journal focuses on the basic pathobiology of injury to the central nervous system, while considering preclinical and clinical trials targeted at improving both the early management and long-term care and recovery of traumatically injured patients. This is the essential journal publishing cutting-edge basic and translational research in traumatically injured human and animal studies, with emphasis on neurodegenerative disease research linked to CNS trauma.
