Engineered mammalian and bacterial extracellular vesicles as promising nanocarriers for targeted therapy

Abstract

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are nanocarriers with phospholipid bilayer structures released by most cells, play a key role in regulating physiological and pathological processes. EVs have been investigated due to their loading capacity, low toxicity, immunogenicity, and biofunctions. Although EVs have shown good potential as therapeutic vehicles, natural EVs have a poor targeting ability, which substantially reduces the therapeutic effect. Through the addition of a targeting unit into the membrane surface of EVs or inside EVs by engineering technology, the therapeutic agent can accumulate in specific cells and tissues. Here, we focus on mammalian EVs (MEVs) and bacterial EVs (BEVs), which are the two most common types of EVs in the biomedical field. In this review, we describe engineered MEVs and BEVs as promising nanocarriers for targeted therapy and summarize the biogenesis, isolation, and characterization of MEVs and BEVs. We then describe engineering techniques for enhancement of the targeting ability of EVs. Moreover, we focus on the applications of engineered MEVs and BEVs in targeted therapy, including the treatment of cancer and brain and bone disease. We believe that this review will help improve the understanding of engineered MEVs and BEVs, thereby promoting their application and clinical translation.
