Abstract (original English)

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and their extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have been described to have important roles in tissue regeneration, including tissue repair, control of inflammation, enhancing angiogenesis, and regulating extracellular matrix remodeling. MSC-EVs have many advantages for use in regeneration therapies such as facility for dosage, histocompatibility, and low immunogenicity, thus possessing a lower possibility of rejection. In this work, we address the potential activity of MSC-EVs isolated from adipose-derived MSCs (ADMSC-EVs) cultured on cross-linked dextran microcarriers, applied to test the scalability and reproducibility of EV production. Isolated ADMSC-EVs were added into cultured human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF-1), keratinocytes (HaCat), endothelial cells (HUVEC), and THP-1 cell-derived macrophages to evaluate cellular responses (i.e., cell proliferation, cell migration, angiogenesis induction, and macrophage phenotype-switching). ADMSC viability and phenotype were assessed during cell culture and isolated ADMSC-EVs were monitored by nanotracking particle analysis, electron microscopy, and immunophenotyping. We observed an enhancement of HaCat proliferation; NHDF-1 and HaCat migration; endothelial tube formation on HUVEC; and the expression of inflammatory cytokines in THP-1-derived macrophages. The increased expression of TGF-β and IL-1β was
