Endogenous Controls for the Evaluation of Osteoarthritis-Related miRNAs in Extracellular Vesicles from Bone-Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and the Impact of Osteoarthritis Synovial Fluid.

ABSTRACT: Bone-marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSCs) have emerged as promising therapeutic option for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) due to their tissue regenerative and anti-inflammatory features. BMSCs' clinical potential is mainly ascribed to their released factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs), whose therapeutic portfolio may be modulated by the environment in vivo or specific priming in vitro. Within the array of molecules shaping EVs' power, miRNAs are considered privileged players. In this frame, a correct EV-miRNA detection and quantification is mandatory to understand and possibly boost BMSCs potential, either when envisioned as cell therapeutics or when proposed as producer of cell-free and clinical grade EVs. The aim of this study is to identify reliable reference genes (RGs) to s
