Teucrium polium (T. polium) and Rumex crispus (R. crispus) are plant species that grow widely in Anatolia and are thought to have healing effects for many diseases. In this study plant extracts are suggested as alternative agents in repairing cellular damage by using sister chromatid exchange (SCE), micronucleus (MN), mitotic index (MI), replication index (RI) and nuclear abnormalities (NAs), against the genotoxicity of cyclophosphamide (CP) in the human lymphocyte cells. 8 experimental groups were formed in the study. The cell culture medium was supplemented with 0.16 g/ml CP and the cells were treated with 50, 100 and 250 M T. polium and R. crispus extracts in the presence and absence of CP. As a result, CP significantly decreased MI frequency while increasing SCE, MN and NAs frequencies in cells. 100 M T. polium plus CP decreased SCEs when compared with CP alone. In addition, MN frequency was significantly decreased in 100 M T. poliumplus CP and 250 M R. crispus plus CP combine groups. Our results suggest that these plant extracts are not genetically damaging and have improving effects at these doses.

Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been studied as vital components of regenerative medicine. Typically, various isolation methods of exosomes from cell culture medium have been developed to increase the isolation yield of exosomes. Moreover, the exosome-depletion process of serum has been considered to result in clinically active and highly purified exosomes from the cell culture medium. Our aim was to compare isolation methods, ultracentrifuge (UC)-based conventional method, and tangential flow filtration (TFF) system-based method for separation with high yield, and the bioactivity of the exosome according to the purity of MSC-derived exosome was determined by the ratio of Fetal bovine serum (FBS)-derived exosome to MSC-derived exosome depending on exosome depletion processes of FBS. The TFF-based isolation yield of exosome derived from human umbilical cord MSC (UCMSC) increased two orders (92.5 times) compared to UC-based isolation method. Moreover, by optimizing the process of depleting FBS-derived exosome, the purity of UCMSC-derived exosome, evaluated using the expression level of MSC exosome surface marker (CD73), was about 15.6 times enhanced and the concentration of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c), known as impurities resulting from FBS, proved to be negligibly detected. The wound healing and angiogenic effects of highly purified UCMSC-derived exosomes were improved about 23.1% and 71.4%, respectively, with human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC). It suggests that the defined MSC exosome with high yield and purity could increase regenerative activity.
