| Abstract | Background Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) primarily affects young individuals and is a leading cause of total hip arthroplasty in this population. Joint-preserving regenerative therapies involving core decompression (CD), enhanced with cells, growth factors, and bone substitutes, have been developed but lack extensive validation. Exosomes are emerging as a promising regenerative therapy. Human adipose stem cell (hADSC)-derived exosomes exhibit angiogenic and wound-healing effects on damaged and diseased tissues, suggesting their potential efficacy in treating early-stage ONFH. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of hADSC-derived exosomes based on CD in a medium-sized animal model (rabbit). Methods Exosomes were extracted using the ultrafiltration filter technique from the culture supernatants of two types of hADSCs. Characterization of exosomes was performed through nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and the detection of specific biomarkers (CD9, CD63, and CD81) by western blotting. Eighteen rabbits underwent surgical vascular occlusion and intramuscular corticosteroid injections to induce ONFH. Concurrently, CD treatment with local administration of hADSC-derived exosomes (exosome group) or saline (control group) was performed. Femoral heads were harvested at 4, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively and evaluated using micro-computed tomography and tissue staining to assess the protective effects on osteonecrosis, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. Results Exosomes had average particle concentrations of 1.8 × 1012 or 1.8 × 109 particles/mL, with particle size distributions averaging 61.2 ± 14.7 or 123.1 ± 46.3 nm, and were confirmed by specific biomarkers. The exosome group exhibited a significant reduction in the severe progression of ONFH to stages 3 or 4 of the modified Ficat and Arlet classification, compared to the control group, which had four cases of stages 3 or 4. The exosome group showed significantly fewer empty lacunae in the subchondral bone area (p < 0.05) and significantly less articular cartilage injury (p < 0.05) compared to the corresponding in the control group. There were no significant differences in the microvessel number, bone trabecular structure, or volume of new bone in the medial region of the CD. Conclusions hADSC-derived exosomes can prevent the progression of ONFH by inhibiting osteonecrosis and cartilage damage. The ultrafiltration filter technique is effective for exosome extraction, indicating that exosomes hold potential as a therapeutic agent for ONFH. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
