GMP‐compliant manufacturing of biologically active cell‐derived vesicles produced by extrusion technology

Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by a variety of cell types have been shown to act as a natural delivery system for bioactive molecules such as RNAs and proteins. EV therapy holds great promise as a safe and cell‐free therapy for many immunological and degenerative diseases. However, t...

description Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by a variety of cell types have been shown to act as a natural delivery system for bioactive molecules such as RNAs and proteins. EV therapy holds great promise as a safe and cell‐free therapy for many immunological and degenerative diseases. However, translation to clinical application is limited by several factors, including insufficient large‐scale manufacturing technologies and low yield. We have developed a novel drug delivery platform technology, BioDrone™, based on cell‐derived vesicles (CDVs) produced from diverse cell sources by using a proprietary extrusion process. This extrusion technology generates nanosized vesicles in far greater numbers than naturally obtained EVs. We demonstrate that the CDVs are surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane with a correct membrane topology. Physical, biochemical and functional characterisation results demonstrate the potential of CDVs to act as effective therapeutics. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (UCMSC)‐derived CDVs exhibit a biological activity that is similar to UCMSCs or UCMSC‐derived EVs. Lastly, we present the establishment of a GMP‐compliant process to allow the production of a large number of UCMSC‐CDVs in a reproducible manner. GMP‐compliant manufacturing of CDVs will facilitate the preclinical and clinical evaluation of these emerging therapeutics in anti‐inflammatory or regenerative medicine. This study also represents a crucial step in the development of this novel drug delivery platform based on CDVs.
