METHOD FOR PRODUCING EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES FROM THREE-DIMENSIONALLY CULTURED STEM CELLS

The present disclosure relates to a method for producing extracellular vesicles from three-dimensionally cultured stem cells. The method of the present disclosure can produce stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles with a high yield through orbital shaking culture of stem cell aggregates in the presence of TGF-β and thus can be usefully used in an industrial-scale mass production process of exosomes that can be utilized as a pharmaceutical ingredient substituting for a cell therapeutic agent. Furthermore, the exosomes obtained by the method of the present disclosure have significantly improved immunoregulatory functions as compared to the exosomes produced by the existing method and, therefore, can be applied as a superior therapeutic composition for various inflammations or autoimmune diseases.

Extracellular Vesicles Engineered to Be Loaded with Distinct RNA Cargo for Improved Therapeutic Efficacy

The present invention provides extrcellular vesicles, such as exosomes, engineered to be loaded with miR-345, which may be further loaded with, e.g., miR-146a and let-7b, and/or further be depleted of miR-10a and/or miR-10b. The present invention also provides an assay method, wherein the amounts of miR-345, miR146a, and let-7b in a sample of extracellular vesicles are positively associated with potency, and wherein the amount of miR-10b in a sample of extracellular vesicles is negatively associated with potency.
