摘要
Exosomes(exos)widely distributed in a variety of biological fluids,including blood,urine,saliva,sputum,breast milk,cerebrospinal fluid,and ascites,contain specific bioactive contents which are involved in physiological and pathological processes,such as signal molecular transfer,substance metabolism,gene regulation,and immune regulation.Macrophages are important innate immune cells which usually act as the first line of defense against infection,and can switch between different functional phenotypes in response to the changes around the microenvironment.Evidence suggests that macrophage-derived exos exert a crucial effect on infection,inflammation,regeneration,tumors,fibrosis,and other lesions in multiple human diseases.However,the role and mechanism of macrophage-derived exos in liver diseases remain to be explored.This review summarizes the current researches on the role and possible mechanism of macrophage-derived exos in liver diseases,with the purpose of providing new potential targets and directions for diagnostic biomarker and clinical treatment of liver diseases.
