The present invention relates to a salivary gland therapeutic agent using the effects of a cell-derived vesicle of enhancing the proliferation capacity of salivary gland cells, promoting an amylase activity, and enhancing transepithelial resistance. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the cell-derived vesicle according to the present invention has the effects of enhancing the proliferation capacity of salivary gland cells damaged by radiation, promoting amylase activity, increasing transepithelial resistance, enhancing the expression of Aquaporin 5, and increasing the amount of saliva secretion. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition comprising the cell-derived vesicle of the present invention can be used for preventing and treating salivary gland diseases, and thus can be widely used in the pharmaceutical industry and health functional food field.
