Nucleus pulposus stem cells (NPSCs) senescence plays a critical role in the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EV) alleviate cellular senescence. Whereas, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Low stability largely limited the administration of EV in vivo. RGD, an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid tripeptide, strongly binds integrins expressed on the EV membranes, allowing RGD to anchor EV and prolong their bioavailability. An RGD-complexed nucleus pulposus matrix hydrogel (RGD-DNP) is developed to enhance the therapeutic effects of small EV (sEV). RGD-DNP prolonged sEV retention in vitro and ex vivo. sEV-RGD-DNP promoted NPSCs migration, decreased the number of SA-β-gal-positive cells, alleviated cell cycle arrest, and reduced p16, p21, and p53 activation. Small RNA-seq showed that miR-3594-5p is enriched in sEV, and targets the homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2)/p53 pathway. The HIPK2 knockdown rescues the impaired therapeutic effects of sEV with downregulated miR-3594-5p. RGD-DNP conjugate with lower amounts of sEV achieved similar disc regeneration with free sEV of higher concentrations in DNP. In conclusion, sEV-RGD-DNP increases sEV bioavailability and relieves NPSCs senescence by targeting the HIPK2/p53 pathway, thereby alleviating IDD. This work achieves better regenerative effects with fewer sEV and consolidates the theoretical basis for sEV application for IDD treatment.
