| Abstract | Background Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) refers to the loss of ovarian function under the age of 40 and results in amenorrhea and infertility. Our previous studies have shown that transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and MSC-derived exosomes in chemotherapy-induced POI mouse ovaries can reverse the POI and eventually achieve pregnancy. Based on our recent studies, MSC-derived exosomes have almost equal therapeutic potentials as transplanted MSCs. However, it is still unclear whether exosomes can completely replace MSCs in POI treatment. For the reliable application of cell-free treatment for POI patients using exosomes, there is a need to understand whether there is any outcome and effectiveness difference between MSC and MSC-derived exosome treatment. Methods Comparing the therapeutic effect of intravenous injection using MSCs and equal amounts of exosomes in a POI mouse model will reveal the difference between the two therapeutic resources. In this study, we induced POI in C57/BL6 mice by chemotherapy (CXT) using a standard protocol. We then injected four different doses of MSCs or equal amounts of commercialized MSC-derived exosomes by retro-orbital injection post-CXT. Result After MSC/exosome treatment, tissue and serum samples were harvested to analyze molecular changes after treatment, while other mice in parallel experiments underwent breeding experiments to compare the restoration of fertility. Both the MSC- and exosome-treated groups had a restored estrous cycle and serum hormone levels compared to untreated POI mice. The pregnancy rate in the MSC-treated group was 60–100% after treatment, while the pregnancy rate in the exosome-treated group was 30–50% after treatment. Interestingly, in terms of long-term effects, MSC-treated mice still showed a 60–80% pregnancy rate in the second round of breeding, while the exosome-treated group became infertile again in the second round of breeding. Conclusions Although there were some differences in the efficacy between MSC treatment and exosome treatment, both treatments were able to achieve pregnancy in the POI mouse model. In conclusion, we report that MSC-derived exosomes are a promising therapeutic option to restore ovarian function in POI conditions similar to treatment with MSCs. |

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.
