Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the functions of exosomal miR-150 derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Materials & methods: Cell viability and apoptosis were detected using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and flow cytometry. Alizarin red staining was performed to detect calcium deposits. A rat model was established to assess the effects of exosomal miR-150 on ONFH in vivo. Results: Exosomes or exosomal miR-150 derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells inhibited TNF-α-induced osteoblast apoptosis and promoted osteogenic differentiation and autophagy. Exosomal miR-150 suppressed apoptosis and induced autophagy in TNF-α-treated osteoblasts by regulating the GREM1/NF-κB axis. Exosomal miR-150 also improved the pathological features of ONFH in vivo. Conclusion: Exosomal miR-150 alleviates ONFH by mediating the GREM1/NF-κB axis. This study provides a potential therapeutic strategy for ONFH.
