Objective * To investigate the effect of exosomes (Exo) of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) overexpressing miR-124-1 gene on the regulation of transformation of M2 microglia (MG). Methods * BMMSCs of rats were isolated and cultured. BMMSCs-Exo were extracted. BMMSCs and BMMSCs-Exo were identified by flow cytometry, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Western blotting, respectively. MiR-124-1 gene was synthesized and its lentiviral vector was constructed. The expression changes of miR-124-1 gene in BMMSCs and BMMSCs-Exo were observed. BMMSCs-Exo overexpressing miR-124-1 gene (Exo/124-1) was co-cultured with HAPI microglia cell line activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Cells from Exo group and EXO/124-1 group were collected, respectively. HAPI cells cultured with LPS only (LPS group) were compared with untreated HAPI cells (normal group). Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of M1 molecules [interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] and M2 molecules(CD206, IL-10) in HAPI cells. Results * BMMSCs and BMMSCs-Exo were successfully isolated, cultured and identified. Exo/124-1 significantly expressed miR-124-1 gene. BMMSCs-Exo could carry miR-124-1 gene, significantly down-regulating the expression of IL-6 (compared with the normal group and the LPS group, the down-regulation percentage were 55.71% and 73.04%, respectively at the gene level, and the percentages were 52.32% and 76.95%, respectively at the protein level) and TNF-α (compared with the normal group and the LPS group, the down-regulation percentage were 51.95% and 68.91%, respectively at the gene level, and 52.14% and 77.47%, respectively at the protein level) of HAPI cells tested by qPCR and Western blotting. Exo/124-1 up-regulated the expression of CD206 (compared with the normal group and the LPS group, the down-regulation percentage were 46.90% and 76.99%, respectively at the gene level, and 65.13% and 85.11%, respectively at the protein level) and IL-10 (compared with the normal group and the LPS group, the downregulation percentage were 43.09% and 72.36%, respectively at the gene level, and 55.19% and 78.18%, respectively at the protein level) in HAPI cells. Conclusion * BMMSCs-Exo can mediate miR-124-1 to regulate the polarization of HAPI cells to M2 type. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
