- Abstract: Diabetic encephalopathy(DE)is a complication of the central nervous system induced by diabetes,characterized by insidious onset and complex pathological mechanisms.Recent research has revealed that the pathological mechanisms of DE are closely associated with the imbalance of intercellular communica-tion across multiple organs.Exosomes,serving as vital media-tors of intercellular communication,are involved in the patholog-ical progression of DE and hold promise as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for DE.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)can improve communication between brain cells and be-tween peripheral and brain tissues by regulating exosomes and their contents,thereby preventing and treating DE.Meanwhile,exosomes,as targeted delivery carriers of active molecules,can carry TCM monomers more easily across the blood-brain barrier to prevent and treat DE.In light of this,this review summarizes the regulatory role of exosomes in the pathological progression of DE and explores the enormous potential of TCM in the preven-tion and treatment of DE by regulating exosomes and using exo-somes as traditional Chinese medicine carriers,aiming to pro-vide new evidence for the prevention and treatment of DE with TCM.
