It has been well reported that adipose tissue-d erived stem cell
(ASC) secretes various soluble factors, that is growth factors,
cytokines, exosomes that can rescue damaged cells. [1] Exosome,
a 30- to 150-n m-s ized extracellular vesicle that is secreted from
most cell types, is formed within endosomal compartments and
released into the extracellular milieu. [2] It has been demon-
strated that exosomes possess similar functional properties of
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from which they are derived, [3]
and due to such functions, exosomes are regarded now as a
communicator between tissues. [4] Functionally, exosomes can
reduce the immune recognition, so that the integrity of cell
membrane can be maintained. [5] A study of stem cell transplan-
tation therapy demonstrated that the role of MSCs in cell-t o-
cell communication was exerted through a paracrine mechanism
and that exosomes play a major role in this process. [6] Other
findings also described that the conditioned media of ASC
(ASC-C M) [7] or exosomes [8] were able to promote the migration
of dermal fibroblasts during the process of wound healing. [7] F I G U R E 1 Proliferation and migration effect of human ASC-exos
