Objective To investigate the effects of adipose-derived stem cell released exosomes (ADSC-Exos) on wound healing in diabetic mice.Methods The ADSCs were isolated from the adipose tissue donated by the patients and cultured by enzymatic digestion. The supernatant of the 3rd generation ADSCs was used to extract Exos (ADSC-Exos). The morphology of ADSC-Exos was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The membrane-labeled proteins (Alix and CD63) were detected by Western blot, and the particle size distribution was detected by nanoparticle tracking analyzer. The fibroblasts were isolated from the skin tissue donated by the patients and cultured by enzymatic digestion. The 5th generation fibroblasts were cultured with PKH26-labeled ADSC-Exos, and observed by confocal fluorescence microscopy. The effects of ADSC-Exos on proliferation and migration of fibroblasts were observed with cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) and scratch method. Twenty-four 8-week-old Balb/c male mice were used to prepare a diabetic model. A full-thickness skin defect of 8 mm in diameter was prepared on the back. And 0.2 mL of ADSC-Exos and PBS were injected into the dermis of the experimental group (n=12) and the control group (n=12), respectively. On the 1st, 4th, 7th, 11th, 16th, and 21st days, the wound healing was observed and the wound healing rate was calculated. On the 7th, 14th, and 21st days, the histology (HE and Masson) and CD31 immunohistochemical staining were performed to observe the wound structure, collagen fibers, and neovascularization.Results ADSC-Exos were the membranous vesicles with clear edges and uniform size; the particle size was 40-200 nm with an average of 102.1 nm; the membrane-labeled proteins (Alix and CD63) were positive. The composite culture observation showed that ADSC-Exos could enter the fibroblasts and promote the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts. Animal experiments showed that the wound healing of the experimental group was significantly faster than that of the control group, and the wound healing rate was significantly different at each time point (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the wound healing of the experimental group was better. There were more microvessels in the early healing stage, and more deposited collagen fibers in the late healing stage. There were significant differences in the length of wound on the 7th, 14th, and 21st days, the number of microvessels on the 7th and 14th days, and the rate of deposited collagen fibers on the 14th and 21st days between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion ADSC-Exos can promote the wound healing in diabetic mice by promoting angiogenesis and proliferation and migration of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis.
