description Abstract Backgrounds Minor salivary gland mesenchymal stem cells (MSGMSCs) can be easily extracted and have a broad range of sources. Applying exosomes to wounds is a highly promising method for promoting wound healing. Exosomes derived from different stem cell types have been proven to enhance wound healing, with adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC)-derived exosomes being the most extensively researched. Considering that MSGMSCs have advantages such as easier extraction compared to ADSCs, MSGMSCs should also be a very promising type of stem cell in exosome therapy. However, whether MSGMSC-derived exosomes (MSGMSC-exos) can promote wound healing and how they compare to ADSC-derived exosomes (ADSC-exos) in the wound healing process remain unclear. Materials The effects of MSGMSC-exos and ADSC-exos on angiogenesis in wound healing were investigated in vitro using CCK-8, scratch assays, and tube formation assays. Subsequently, the promotion of wound healing by MSGMSC-exos and ADSC-exos was evaluated in vivo using a full-thickness wound defect model in mice. Immunohistochemistry was used to verify the effects of MSGMSC-exos and ADSC-exos on promoting collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and cell proliferation in the wound. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to investigate the role of MSGMSC-exos and ADSC-exos in modulating the inflammatory response in the wound. Furthermore, proteomic sequencing was conducted to investigate the functional similarities and differences between the proteomes of MSGMSC-exos and ADSC-exos, with key protein contents verified by ELISA. Results MSGMSC-exos exhibited similar effects as ADSC-exos in promoting the migration, proliferation, and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro, with a comparable dose-dependent effect. In vivo experiments confirmed that MSGMSC-exos have similar wound healing-promoting functions as ADSC-exos. MSGMSC-exos promoted the neovascularization and maturation of blood vessels in vivo at a level comparable to ADSC-exos. Despite MSGMSC-exos showing less collagen deposition than ADSC-exos, they exhibited stronger anti-scar formation and anti-inflammatory effects. Proteomic analysis revealed that the proteins promoting wound healing in both MSGMSC-exos and ADSC-exos were relatively conserved, with ITGB1 identified as a critical protein for angiogenesis. Further differential analysis revealed that the functions specifically enriched in MSGMSC-exos and ADSC-exos reflected the functions of their source tissue. Conclusions Our study confirms that MSGMSC-exos exhibit highly similar wound healing and angiogenesis-promoting functions compared to ADSC-exos, and the proteins involved in promoting wound healing in both are relatively conserved. Moreover, MSGMSC-exos show stronger anti-scar formation and anti-inflammatory effects than ADSC-exos. This suggests that MSGMSCs are a promising stem cell source with broad applications in wound healing treatment.
