The remodeling of ovarian function: targeted delivery strategies for mesenchymal stem cells and their derived extracellular vesicles.
Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2024 March 28
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is an essential cause of reduced fertility and quality of life in young women. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and MSCs-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have the ability to migrate to damaged tissues and are considered as promising therapeutic approaches for POI. However, the homing ability and therapeutic efficacy of MSCs administered in vivo are still insufficient, and their potential tumorigenicity and multi-differentiation potential also bring many doubts about their safety. The targeting ability and migration efficiency of MSCs can be improved by genetic engineering and surface modification, thereby maximizing their therapeutic efficacy. However, the use of viral vectors also has increased safety concerns. In addition, EVs, which seem to be the current therapeutic alternative to MSCs, are still poorly targeted for distribution, although they have improved in terms of safety. This paper reviews the comparative therapeutic effects of MSCs and their derived EVs on POI, their biodistribution after in vivo administration, and the most important possible ovarian targeting strategies. Difficulties such as homogeneity and yield before clinical application are also discussed. This article will provide new insights into precision therapy and targeted drug delivery for female ovarian diseases.
