Intravenous Administration of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosome Alleviates Spinal Cord Injury by Regulating Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation through Exosomal miR-125a-3p.

ABSTRACT: Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to devastating sequelae, demanding effective treatments. Recent advancements have unveiled the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) produced by infiltrated neutrophils in exacerbating secondary inflammation after SCI, making it a potential target for treatment intervention. Previous research has established that intravenous administration of stem cell-derived exosomes can mitigate injuries. While stem cell-derived exosomes have demonstrated the ability to modulate microglial reactions and enhance blood-brain barrier integrity, their impact on neutrophil deactivation, especially in the context of NETs, remains poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the effects of intravenous administration of MSC-derived exosomes, with a specific focus on N
