MicroRNA-26a shuttled by extracellular vesicles secreted from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells reduce neuronal damage through KLF9-mediated regulation of TRAF2/KLF2 axis.

ABSTRACT: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized vesicles secreted actively by numeorus cells and have fundamental roles in intercellular communication through shuttling functional RNAs. This study sets out to elucidate the role of microRNA-26a (miR-26a) shuttled by EVs derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) in neuronal damage. After extraction and identification of ASC-derived EVs (ASC-EVs), mouse cortical neuronal cells were selected to establish an in vivo cerebral ischemia/reperfusion mouse model and an in vitro oxygen glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/RP) cell model. The downstream genes of miR-26a were analyzed. The gain- and loss-of function of miR-26a and KLF9 was performed in mouse and cell models. Neuronal cells were subjected to co-culture with ASC-EVs and biol
