Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) causes disability and significant economic and social burden. Cartilage injury is one of the main pathological features of OA, and is often manifested by excessive chondrocyte death, inflammatory response, abnormal bone metabolism, imbalance of extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism, and abnormal vascular or nerve growth. Regrettably, due to the avascular nature of cartilage, its capacity to repair is notably limited. Mesenchymal stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles (MSCs-EVs) play a pivotal role in intercellular communication, presenting promising potential not only as early diagnostic biomarkers in OA but also as efficacious therapeutic strategy. MSCs-EVs were confirmed to play a therapeutic role in the pathological process of cartilage injury mentioned above. This paper comprehensively provides the functions and mechanisms of MSCs-EVs in cartilage repair.
