Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized membranous structures involved in intercellular communication and various physiological and pathological processes. Here, we present a novel method for rapid (within 15 min), large-scale production of high-purity EVs using eMTDΔ4, a peptide derived from Noxa. The treatment of mesenchymal stem cells derived from human Wharton's jelly after trypsinization and subsequent eMTDΔ4 stimulation in a chemically defined sucrose buffer with orbital shaking led to a substantial increase (approximately 30-fold) in EV production with markedly high purity (approximately 45-fold). These EVs (TS-eEVs) showed higher regenerative and immunomodulatory potential than natural EVs obtained from the culture media after 48 h. The calcium chelator BAPTA-AM and calpain inhibitor ALLM, but not the natural EV biogenesis inhibitor GW4869, blocked the TS-eEV production induced by eMTDΔ4, indicating that the eMTDΔ4-mediated regulation of intracellular calcium levels and calpain activity are closely associated with the rapid, mass production of TS-eEVs. The present study may lead to considerable advances in EV-based drug development and production of stem cell-derived EVs for cell therapy.
