| خلاصه مقاله | Exosomes are extracellular nanovesicles that resemble plasma
membranes and are released by various cells to facilitate intercellular
communication and modulate immune responses against pathogens. Their internal
contents are safeguarded by a bilayer membrane. Plant-derived exosomes have
distinct characteristics, and given the challenges and costs associated with
extracting human exosomes—along with their potential to activate the immune
system—plant exosomes may be a more advantageous alternative. This study is the
first to extract and characterize exosomes from parsley, focusing on their
morphological features and effects on healthy human fibroblast cells. The
ultracentrifugation method was employed to isolate the exosomes, which were then
prepared for dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) analysis. The findings indicated that parsley exosomes are quite small,
measuring approximately 70 nm, with a negative zeta potential. Subsequent tests,
including the Bradford assay, were conducted to assess the presence of proteins
within the exosomes, revealing a significant protein content. Additionally,
polysaccharide compounds and freeze-drying techniques were utilized to stabilize
the exosomes. Ultimately, the positive effects on fibroblast cell proliferation
suggest that these exosomes hold great promise for wound healing applications. |
