New Therapeutic Strategies for the Inflammatory Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease: Emphasizing Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Associated exo-miRNA or exo-lncRNA.

The most prevalent inflammatory arthritis and a leading contributor to disability is rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although it may not have arrived in Europe until the 17th century, it was present in early Native American communities several thousand years ago. Exosomes released by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are highly immunomodulatory due to the origin of the cell. As a cell-free therapy, MSCs-exosomes are less toxic and elicit a weakened immune response than cell-based therapies. Exosomal noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are closely associated with a number of biological and functional facets of human health, especially microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Various exo-miRNAs and lncRNAs such as HAND2-AS1, miR-150-5p, miRNA-124a, and miR-320a lodged with MSC could be appropriate therapeutic ways for RA treatment. These MSC-derived exosomes affect RA disorders via different molecular pathways such as NFK-β, MAPK, and Wnt. The purpose of this review is to review the research that has been conducted since 2020 so far in the field of RA disease treatment with MSC-loaded exo-miRNAs and exo-lncRNAs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
