Abstract:
...In this study, we overexpressed the hTERT gene in Human Foreskin Fibroblast-1 cells (HFF cells) to produce hTERT-immortalized HFF cells (hT-HFF cells). We then used exosomes derived from these hT-HFF cells to treat human fibroblasts, HFF cells. Our results demonstrated that these exosomes effectively attenuated biomarkers of cellular senescence in HFF cells. Furthermore, analysis revealed that hTERT mRNA was indeed packaged into the exosomes from hT-HFF cells. This mRNA was capable of elongating telomeres and delaying cellular senescence in HFF cells. Therefore, exosomes from hT-HFF cells show potential as a treatment for age-related diseases.
