T Cell-Derived Apoptotic Extracellular Vesicles Ameliorate Bone Loss via CD39 and CD73-Mediated ATP Hydrolysis by Yang X, Zhou Y, Zhou F, Bao L, Wang Z, Li Z, Ding F, Kuang H, Liu H, Tan S, Qiu X, Jing H, Liu S, Ma D

“…Inhibitors of CD39 and CD73, and an A2BR antagonist were used to explore the molecular mechanism of ApoEVs in promoting bone regeneration.Results: ApoEVs significantly reduced bone loss and promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs in ovariectomy (OVX) mice. We observed increased levels of extracellular ATP and a decrease in CD39 and CD73, key enzymes in ATP-to-adenosine conversion in bone marrow of OVX mice. …”
