Research progress of extracellular vesicles in type 2 diabetes and its complications.

Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in modern society. However, there is still insufficient research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes and its complications. Extracellular vesicles are small bilayer vesicles secreted by cells. In recent years, the effect of extracellular vesicles in type 2 diabetes and its complications has aroused extensive attention. The research on the influence of protein and nucleic acids carried by extracellular vesicles secreted by stem cells and inflammatory cells on the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and its complications provides new ideas for its diagnosis and treatment. This review focuses on the influence of extracellular vesicles on insulin resistance by regulating inflammation and glucose transporter 4 expression. The second part mainly discusses the research progress and limitations of extracellular vesicles use in treating and diagnosing type 2 diabetes and its complications. This review introduces the current research status of type 2 diabetes and its complications, illustrates the biogenesis of extracellular vesicles, their effect on type 2 diabetes pathogenesis and its complications and their potential as therapeutic tools and diagnostic markers in type 2 diabetes and its complications.
