Disc degeneration is the common pathology underlying various degenerative spinal disorders and currently there is no effective cure. Here, we found nucleus pulposus (NP) cell senescence was closely associated with the severity of disc degeneration, and exosomes (Exos) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) ameliorated NP cell senescence and promoted extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. As chitosan-based hydrogels have been widely used as vehicles to deliver Exos due to their prominent antibacterial capacity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, we developed an Exos-laden hydrogel based on quaternized chitosan (QCS) and oxidized starch (OST) to treat disc degeneration. The synthesized QCS-OST hydrogel is injectable, self-healing, biocompatible, and demonstrated desirable pore size, injectable properties, and sustainable release of Exos. In a rat model of disc degeneration, the QCS-OST/Exos hydrogel was able to rejuvenate NP cell senescence, promote ECM remodeling, and partially restore the structures of NP and annulus fibrosis. Our findings suggested that the novel QCS-OST/Exos hydrogel is an effective therapeutic strategy for treating disc degeneration via alleviating NP cell senescence.
