Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is characterized by early dropout of capillary pericytes, leading to loss of control on endothelial proliferation and, subsequently, angiogenesis. We have demonstrated that extracellular vesicles (EV) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) maintained in diabetic-like conditions may play a role in vessel destabilization, thus contributing to angiogenesis through paracrine signalling. In particular, a role for MMP-2 was described. This study was aimed at further investigating the molecular mechanisms of EV-induced vessel destabilization.
