Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in their naïve and engineered forms have emerged as potential alternatives to stem cell therapy. While they have a defined therapeutic potential, the spatial and temporal control of their activity in vivo remains a challenge. The objective of this study was to devise a methodology to encapsulate EVs in 3D hydrogels for prolonged delivery. To achieve this, we have leveraged the MSC EV interactions with ECM proteins and their derivative peptides. Using osteoinductive functionally engineered EVs (FEEs) derived from MSCs, we show that FEEs bind to mimetic peptides from collagen (DGEA, GFPGER) and fibronectin (RGD). In in vitro experiments, photocrosslinkable alginate hydrogels containing RGD were able to encapsulate, tether and retain the FEEs over a period of 7 days while maintaining the structural integrity and osteoinductive functionality of the EVs. When employed in a calvarial defect model in vivo, alginate-RGD hydrogels containing the FEEs enhanced bone regeneration by a factor of 4 compared to controls lacking FEEs and by a factor of 2 compared to controls lacking the tethering peptide. These results show that EVs can be tethered to biomaterials to promote bone repair and the importance of prolonged delivery in vivo. Results also provide a prelude to the possible use of this technology for controlled delivery of EVs for other regenerative medicine applications.
