- Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that can induce joint deformities and functional impairment, significantly impacting the overall wellbeing of individuals. Exosomes, which are cellularly secreted vesicles, possess favorable biological traits such as biocompatibility, stability, and minimal toxicity. Additionally, they contain nucleic acids, lipids, proteins, amino acids, and metabolites, serving as mediators in cellular communication and information exchange. Recent studies have demonstrated the association between exosomes and the pathogenesis of RA. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells, dendritic cells, and neutrophils exert influence on the biological functions of immune cells and joint cells, however, the precise mechanism remains largely unclarified. This comprehensive review systematically analyzes and summarizes the biological characteristics and functionalities of exosomes derived from diverse cellular sources, thus establishing a scientific foundation for the utilization of exosomes as diagnostic targets and therapeutic modalities in the context of RA.
