Abstract

Non-healing skin wounds pose significant clinical challenges, with biologic products like exosomes showing promise for wound healing. Saliva and saliva-derived exosomes, known to accelerate wound repair, yet their extraction is difficult due to the complex environment of oral cavity. In this study, as a viable alternative, we established human minor salivary gland organoids (hMSG-ORG) to produce exosomes (MsOrg-Exo). In vitro, MsOrg-Exo significantly enhanced cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. When incorporated into a GelMA-based controlled-release system, MsOrg-Exo demonstrated controlled release, effectively improving wound closure, collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, and cellular proliferation in a murine skin wound model. Further molecular analyses revealed that MsOrg-Exo promotes proliferation, angiogenesis and the secretion of growth factors in wound sites. Proteomic profiling showed that MsOrg-Exo's protein composition is similar to human saliva and enriched in proteins essential for wound repair, immune modulation, and coagulation. Additionally, MsOrg-Exo was found to modulate macrophage polarization, inducing a shift towards M1 and M2 phenotypes in vitro within 48 h and predominantly towards the M2 phenotype in vivo after 15 days. In conclusion, our study successfully extracted MsOrg-Exo from hMSG-ORGs, confirmed the effectiveness of the controlled-release system combining MsOrg-Exo with GelMA in promoting skin wound healing, and explored the potential role of macrophages in this action.
