The Emerging Role of Small Extracellular Vesicles in Inflammatory Airway Diseases

Abstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are produced and released by all cells and are present in all body fluids. They exist in a variety of sizes, however, small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), the EV subset with a size range from 30 to 150 nm, are of current interest. By transporting a complex cargo that includes genetic material, proteins, lipids, and signaling molecules, sEVs can alter the state of recipient cells. The role of sEVs in mediating inflammatory processes and responses of the immune system is well-documen… Show more

“…ApoVs are mostly composed of protein, nucleotides, lipids, and metabolites [41,42]. They are thought to be an evolutionarily conserved method of intercellular communication, sending signals from parent cells to the extracellular environment to control the activity of recipient cells [42].…”

“…Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a persistent inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinus mucosa with multifactorial etiology, including genetic, environmental, bacterial, and immunological contributions [ 88 ]. Traditionally, CRS was classified phenotypically as occurring with (CRSwNP) or without nasal polyps, which failed to account for the range of mechanisms which can cause the disease [ 89 ]. The European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2020 advises against phenotypic classification and instead focuses on the pathophysiology of CRS to classify [ 90 ].…”

“…EVs are secreted by the lining of the respiratory tract similar to any other cell in the body and their role in the pathogenesis of lung diseases has been established in previous studies. 133 , 134 Recent studies show that EVs and viruses are interdependent on each other for cellular entry and exit owing to their similar physicochemical properties, for example, size and heterogeneous size distribution. 134 Therefore, trials using EVs loaded with antiviral medications to block viral intracellular entry can be explored.…”
