Differentially enriched miRNAs in EVs derived from young and aged osteocytes of mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Vascular calcification often occurs with osteoporosis, a contradictory association called “calcification paradox”. We find that extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from aged bone matrix (AB-EVs) during bone resorption favor adipogenesis rather than osteogenesis of BMSCs and augment calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Intravenous or intramedullary injection of AB-EVs promotes bone-fat imbalance and exacerbates Vitamin D3 (VD3)-induced vascular calcification in young or old mice. To explore the involvement of miRNAs in the AB-EVs-induced promotion of adipocyte formation and vascular calcification, the Agilent miRNA array was conducted to compare the miRNA expression profiles in AB-EVs and YB-EVs from mouse bone specimens. Our study uncovers the role of AB-EVs as a messenger for calcification paradox by transferring functional miRNAs.
