description <b>Background:</b> Radiation cystitis (RC) results from chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and vascular damage. The urinary symptoms it causes have a serious impact on patients’ quality of life. Despite the improvement in irradiation techniques, the incidence of radiation cystitis remains stable over time, and the therapeutic possibilities remain limited. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) appear to offer<sup>2</sup> a promising therapeutic approach by promoting tissue repair through their paracrine action via extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) or conditioned medium from human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC-CM). We assess the therapeutic potential of MSC-EVs or MSC-CM in an <i>in vitro</i> model of RC. <b>Methods:</b><i>in vitro</i> RC was induced by irradiation of human bladder fibroblasts (HUBF) with the small-animal radiation research platform (SARRP). HUBF were induced towards an RC phenotype after 3 × 3.5 Gy irradiation in the presence of either MSC-EVs or MSC-CM, to assess their effect on fibrosis, angiogenesis, and inflammatory markers. <b>Results:</b> Our data revealed <i>in vitro</i> a higher therapeutic potential of MSC-EVs and MSC-CM in prevention of RC. This was confirmed by down-regulation of α-SMA and CTGF transcription, and the induction of the secretion of anti-fibrotic cytokines, such as IFNγ, IL10 and IL27 and the decrease in the secretion of pro-fibrotic cytokines, IGFBP2, IL1β, IL6, IL18, PDGF, TNFα, and HGF, by irradiated HUBFs, conditioned with MSC-EVs or MSC-CM. The secretome of MSC (MSC-CM) or its subsecretome (MSC-EVs) are proangiogenic, with the ability to induce vessels from HUVEC cells, ensuring the management of bladder vascular lesions induced by irradiation. <b>Conclusion:</b> MSC-EVs and MSC-CM appear to have promising therapeutic potential in the prevention of RC <i>in vitro</i>, by targeting the three main stages of RC: fibrosis, inflammation and vascular damage.
