Popis: Mesenchymal stem-cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have been increasingly investigated for cancer therapy and drug delivery, and they offer an advanced cell-free therapeutic option. However, their overall effects and efficacy depend on various factors, including the MSC source and cargo content. In this study, we isolated EVs from the conditioned medium of human immature dental pulp stem cells (hIDPSC-EVs) and investigated their effects on two papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) cell lines (BCPAP and TPC1). We observed efficient uptake of hIDPSC-EVs by both PTC cell lines, with a notable impact on gene regulation, particularly in the Wnt signaling pathway in BCPAP cells. However, no significant effects on cell proliferation were observed. Conversely, hIDPSC-EVs significantly reduced the invasive capacity of both PTC cell lines after 120 h of treatment. These in vitro findings suggest the therapeutic potential of hIDPSC-EVs in cancer management and emphasize the need for further research to develop novel and effective treatment strategies. Furthermore, the successful internalization of hIDPSC-EVs by PTC cell lines underscores their potential use as nanocarriers for anti-cancer agents.
