RESUMO
Objective:To explore mechanisms underlying the rescuing effects of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived exosomes on estrogen-deficient osteoporosis.Methods:Mouse estrogen-deficient osteoporosis model was constructed in 12 female C57BL6/J rats and the exosome release was regulated by siRNA.Osteogenic induction,alizarin red staining and qPCR were performed to evaluate the effects of exosomes on recipient MSC functions.The miR-26a mimics and inhibitors and qPCR were used to explore the mechanisms underlying exosome-mediated functional rescue of recipient MSCs.Results:Donor MSCs alleviated estrogen-deficient osteoporosis via exosome release,and the alleviated osteoporosis by exosomes rescued the recipient MSC functions were observed.Moreover,the rescued recipient MSC functions by exosomes transferred miR-26a were found.Conclusion:Donor MSC-derived exosomes may rescue MSC functions and may remit osteoporosis of the recipient through transfering miR-26a.
