Abstract
Exosomes are the self-packed nanoscale vesicles (nanovesicles) derived from late endosomes and released from the cells to the extracellular milieu. Exosomal biogenesis is based on endosomal pathway to form the nanovesicles surrounded by membrane originated from plasma membranes of the parental cells. During biogenesis, exosomes selectively encapsulate an array of biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, metabolites, etc.), thereby conveying diverse messages for cell-cell communications. Once released, these exosomal contents trigger signaling and trafficking that play roles in cell growth, development, immune responses, homeostasis, remodeling, etc. Recent advances in exosomal research have provided a wealth of useful information that enhances our knowledge on the roles for exosomes in pathogenic mechanisms of human diseases involving a wide variety of organ systems. In the kidney, exosomes play divergent roles, ranging from pathogenesis to therapeutics, based on their original sources and type of interventions. Herein, we summarize and update the current knowledge on the divergent roles of exosomes involving the pathogenesis, diagnostics, prognostics, and therapeutics in various groups of kidney diseases, including acute kidney injury, immune-mediated kidney diseases (e.g., IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, membranous nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis), chronic kidney disease (caused by diabetic nephropathy and others), renal cell carcinoma, nephrolithiasis, kidney transplantation and related complications, and polycystic kidney disease. Finally, the future perspectives on research in this area are discussed.
