Wound healing is a sophisticated process consisting of serial phases with overlaps, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. The inflammation response is an early response that plays a crucial role in eliminating microbes and clearing damaged cell debris. However, in some pathological circumstances, such as diabetes mellitus, ischemia, trauma, deep burn, etc., abnormal inflammation can cause impaired wound healing. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) belong to the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) family and exhibit prospective applications in tissue regeneration and dermatological repairs. ADSC-secreted extracellular vesicles (ADSC-EVs) mimic the functions of ADSCs without the concerns of cell survival, immune response, or ethical issues. Studies have revealed that ADSC-EVs can inhibit abnormal inflammation responses and accelerate wound healing through various mechanisms. Moreover, some studies explored modifications in the cargo components of ADSC-EVs to enhance their therapeutic efficacy. Given the increasing studies focusing on the potential of ADSC-EVs in wound healing, how they interfere with different phases of this process has been investigated in pieces. In this review, we summarized all up-to-date evidence to map a clearer picture of the underlying mechanisms of ADSC-EVs in inflammation response. The applications of ADSC-EVs aiming at inflammation in the healing process were also reviewed to provide therapeutic strategies for future investigators.
