Fig. 7From: Serum exosomes from young rats improve the reduced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in aged rats with osteoporosis after fatigue loading in vivoThe promotion of osteogenic differentiation by serum exosomes from young rats is partly mediated by miR-19b-3p. A Transfection efficiency of the miR-19b-3p inhibitor. B Under osteogenic induction, BMSCs treated with exosomes with miRNA-19b-3p knockdown BMSCs were stained for ALP after induction. C After miRNA-19b-3p knockdown in exosomes, the mRNA expression levels of ALP, Collagen I, and RUNX2 in BMSCs were reduced, whereas that of the predicted gene PTEN was increased. D WB analysis of the levels of PTEN in BMSCs treated with the NC-exo and KD-exo. The BMSCs of the KD-exo group expressed lower levels of Collagen I and higher levels of PTEN. The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 3). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ****P < 0.0001Back to article page
