Exosomes
What are Exosomes?
Exosomes are small, single-membrane, secreted vesicles (40 nm to 100 nm) released from cells upon the fusion of a multivesicular body (MVB) containing intraluminal vesicles with the plasma membrane. Exosomes contain many membrane-associated protein complexes. Exosomes contain RNA and can transfer these extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) in functional form to other cells and tissues.

Exosomes for Drug Delivery
Exosomes are becoming an important tool and widely used for drug delivery nowadays. They can deliver therapies into cells that can hardly reach by other methods. siRNAs can be transfected into exosomes for delivery to target the cells and tissues. The key advantage is that surface expression of CD47 and other endogenous signaling ligands on exosomes can increase half-life by inhibiting MPS clearance and improving cellular internalization.
Exosomes have successfully delivered anti-KRAS siRNA against pancreatic cancers in mice, significantly increasing survival. Exosomes can cause a less toxic immune response in humans. However, exosomes face big challenges in scale-up production and particle heterogeneity. Codiak Biosciences is now undertaking preclinical study of exosome-loaded siRNAs for autoimmune targets and immune-oncology in macrophages.
BOC Sciences' Exosome siRNA Delivery Solution
We provide siRNA-loaded exosomes. We can design and synthesis the siRNA based on the target gene and then loaded it into the exosomes. If you already have a candidate siRNA drug, we will help with preparing RNA-loaded exosomes.
- siRNA design/synthesis/purification/characteristics
- Transfection of siRNA in a stable host cell to generate targeted exosomes
- Isolation and purification of siRNA-loaded exosomes
- Characterization and safety evaluation of exosomes (virus, endotoxin, bacteria, mycoplasma, etc.)
