Osteosarcoma is prone to metastasis and has a low long-term survival rate. The drug treatment of osteosarcoma, side effects of treatment drugs, and prognosis of patients with lung metastasis continue to present significant challenges, and the efficacy of drugs used in the treatment of osteosarcoma remains low. The development of new therapeutic drugs is urgently needed. In this study, we successfully isolated Pinctada martensii mucilage exosome-like nanovesicles (PMMENs). Our findings demonstrated that PMMENs inhibited the viability and proliferation of 143B cells, induced apoptosis, and inhibited cell proliferation by suppressing the activation of the ERK1/2 and Wnt signaling pathways. Furthermore, PMMENs inhibited cell migration and invasion by downregulating N-cadherin, vimentin, and matrix metalloprotease-2 protein expression levels. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that differential genes were co-enriched with differential metabolites in cancer signaling pathways. These results suggest that PMMENs may exert anti-tumor activity by targeting the ERK1/2 and Wnt signaling pathways. Moreover, tumor xenograft model experiments showed that PMMENs can inhibit the growth of osteosarcoma in mice. Thus, PMMENs may be a potential anti-osteosarcoma drug.
