Respiratory systemBronchopulmonary dysplasia; non-small cell lung cancer; ARDS; asthma inflammation; diabetic lung fibrosisImprove lung function; reduce pulmonary fibrosis; relieve pulmonary hypertensionIncrease the “M2” macrophages; mitochondrial transfer; adjusting Sirt3-mediated responses; exosomal transfer of miR-144[70, 8689]
Digestive systemIBD; intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)Suppression of inflammatory responses; improve I/R-induced intestinal damage; improve gut barrier functionIL-10; macrophage polarization; TSG-6 through hyaluronan-CD44 interactions in an Akt-dependent manner; promote Claudin-3, Claudin-2, and ZO-1 expression; NLRP3-related signaling pathways[9094]
Endocrine systemType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)Reduce blood glucose levels; reverse insulin resistanceInhibition of STZ-induced β-cell apoptosis; activation of autophagy via the AMPK pathway; blockade of the NLRP3 inflammasome activation[9597]
Immune systemRheumatoid arthritis; systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); allergic asthmaReduce joint destruction; improve the immune systemRestore the balance between memory T cells populations; miRNA-150-5p; release TGF-β1 to generate CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + T-reg cells; expand IL-10 producing lung interstitial macrophages[98102]
Nervous systemStroke; neuroinflammationImprove neurological impairment and long-term neuroprotection; attenuate neuroinflammationInhibiting STAT3-dependent autophagy; microRNA cluster miR-17-92[103107]
