Apoptosis

AP

Regulate inflammatory cytokines; reduce the infiltration of inflammatory cells; reduce the necrosis of acinar cells; the NF-κB signaling pathway

The activation of AR42J pancreatic acinar cells was induced by taurolithocholate treatment

Co-culture

2016

[56]

 

Diabetes

Inhibit the apoptosis of rats β cells; alleviate the condition of T2DM

The rat model of T2DM using a high-fat diet and streptozotocin (STZ)

Intravenous injection

2018

[57]

 

PaCa

As miRNA loaders; Inhibit the proliferation or invasion of PDAC; increase apoptosis and cell cycle arrest

PDAC cells

Co-culture

2019

[58, 59]

   

Panc28 cancer cells and the xenograft nude mice model

Co-culture and intravenous injection

2020

 

Immune regulation

Diabetes

Increase the number of the regulatory T cells; improve autoimmune T1DM; No effect on lymphocyte proliferation index

Streptozotocin-induced of the type-1 diabetes mellitus

Intraperitoneal injections

2018

[70]

Angiogenesis

PaCa

Downregulation/upregulation of CCAT1 from exosomes derived from PANC-1 cells; reduce/enhance the angiogenesis ability of HUVECs in vivo and in vitro

PC cells (PANC-1)

Co-culture

2021

[80]

  

Overexpression of miR-138-5p; upregulated CCAT1 expression; regulation of angiogenesis

  

2021

[80]

Cell migration and proliferation

PaCa

Promote the growth of Panc-1 and BxPC3 cells; increase the growth of Panc-1 cells in xenograft tumor models

Nude mice were inoculated subcutaneously on both flanks with human pancreatic cancer Panc-1 cells

Administered via intratumoral injection

2021

[87]

 

Diabetes

Enter fibroblasts, promote the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts

8-week-old Balb/c male mice were used to prepare a diabetic model

Injected into the dermis

2020
