Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a common orthopedic disease characterized by reduction of nucleus pulposus cells and degradation of extracellular matrix. Its specific pathogenesis is not clear. The current treatment can only improve the clinical symptoms of patients, but can not delay or reverse the process of degeneration. Therefore, to find an effective method to repair IDD has become the main goal of current research. In recent years, exosomes have gradually become a research hotspot in the field of regenerative medicine. Exosomes carrying a large number of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, cytokines and other bioactive molecules participate in the information transmission between different cells and play an important role in regulating the biological functions of receptor cells. Studies have confirmed that exosomes can inhibit the apoptosis and inflammatory reaction of nucleus pulposus cells, promote the proliferation and regeneration of nucleus pulposus cells, and have the potential to cure IDD. In this paper, the characteristics and functions of exosomes from different cell sources and its effect and mechanism in IDD repair were summarized, in order to provide reference for the subsequent studies.
