Matrix bound nanovesicles and their use
A composition is disclosed herein that includes isolated ECM-derived nanovesicles and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Methods are producing the ECM-derived nanovesicles are also disclosed. These ECM-derived nanovesicles can be included in pharmaceutical compositions, bioscaffolds, and devices. Methods for using these ECM-derived nanovesicles are provided.
1. A method of increasing M2 macrophages in a subject, comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising isolated nanovesicles derived from an extracellular matrix, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the nanovesicles do not express CD63 or CD81, or are CD63 lo CD81 lo , and wherein the nanovesicles are derived from urinary bladder matrix (UBM) extracellular matrix or small intestinal submucosa (SIS) extracellular matrix, thereby increasing M2 macrophages in the subject.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has an ulcer, a burn or a blister due to abrasion or chemical injury, and wherein the method accelerates healing of the ulcer, burn or blister.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nanovesicles are isolated from extracellular matrix by:
(a) digesting the extracellular matrix with an enzyme to produce digested extracellular matrix;
(b) centrifuging the digested extracellular matrix to remove collagen fibril remnants, thereby producing a fibril-free supernatant;
(c) centrifuging the fibril-free supernatant to isolate solid materials; and
(d) suspending the solid materials in a carrier,
thereby isolating the nanovesicles from the extracellular matrix.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method increases a remodeling response of the macrophages in the subject.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method reduces pro-inflammatory macrophages in the subject.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method increases the proliferation and/or differentiation of the macrophages.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has a wound involving damage to dermis or epidermis, an eye wound, a dental tissue wound, or an oral cavity wound.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is an organ transplant recipient, a subject with graft versus host disease, or a subject with myocardial infarction.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has a surgical or non-surgical wound and the method promotes wound healing.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the subject has impaired wound healing.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the nanovesicles are administered locally to the site of the wound.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nanovesicles are CD63 lo CD81 lo as measured by flow cytometry or Western blot.
13. A method of increasing M2 macrophages in a subject, comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising isolated nanovesicles derived from an extracellular matrix, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the nanovesicles do not express CD63 or CD81, or are CD63 lo CD81 lo , and wherein the nanovesicles comprise miR-145 and/or miR-181, thereby increasing M2 macrophages in the subject.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the subject has an ulcer, a burn or a blister due to abrasion or chemical injury, and wherein the method accelerates healing of the ulcer, burn or blister.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the nanovesicles are isolated from extracellular matrix by:
(a) digesting the extracellular matrix with an enzyme to produce digested extracellular matrix;
(b) centrifuging the digested extracellular matrix to remove collagen fibril remnants, thereby producing a fibril-free supernatant;
(c) centrifuging the fibril-free supernatant to isolate solid materials; and
(d) suspending the solid materials in a carrier,
thereby isolating the nanovesicles from the extracellular matrix.
16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the method increases a remodeling response of the macrophages in the subject.
17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the method reduces pro-inflammatory macrophages in the subject.
18. The method of claim 13 , wherein the method increases the proliferation and/or differentiation of the macrophages.
19. The method of claim 13 , wherein the subject has a wound involving damage to dermis or epidermis, an eye wound, a dental tissue wound, or an oral cavity wound.
20. The method of claim 13 , wherein the subject is an organ transplant recipient, a subject with graft versus host disease, or a subject with myocardial infarction.
21. The method of claim 13 , wherein the subject has a surgical or non-surgical wound and the method promotes wound healing.
22. The method of claim 21 , wherein the subject has impaired wound healing.
23. The method of claim 21 , wherein the nanovesicles are administered locally to the site of the wound.
24. The method of claim 13 , wherein the nanovesicles are derived from urinary bladder matrix (UBM) extracellular matrix or small intestinal submucosa (SIS) extracellular matrix.
25. The method of claim 13 , wherein the nanovesicles are CD631CD811º as measured by flow cytometry or Western blot.
26. The method of claim 13 , wherein the nanovesicles are derived from dermis extracellular matrix.
27. The method of claim 13 , wherein the nanovesicles are derived from intestine, liver, heart, esophagus, spleen, stomach, umbilical cord, pericardium, cardiac tissue, or skeletal muscle extracellular matrix.
