Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles enriched with miR-124 exhibit anti-inflammatory effects in collagen-induced arthritis by Guo Zhonghua, He Mengyuan, Shi Dongliang, Zhang Zhongbo, Wang Lisha, Ren Bowen, Wang Yunfei, Wang Junjie, Yang Shaoxiang, Yu Hongchao

“…Cytokine levels, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-10, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, were measured in the joints using real-time PCR by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). miR-124-hUCSC-EVs showed enrichment of miR-124. In arthritic mice, intravenous treatment with miR-124 EVs significantly reduced the clinical score, increased anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β, and lowered inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β in the joints. …”
