Mesenchymal stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles containing miR-378a-3p inhibit the occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease by targeting GATA2.

ABSTRACT: This study sought to determine whether mesenchymal stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles (MSCs-EVs) carrying microRNA-378a-3p (miR-378a-3p) could affect the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by regulating the GATA-binding protein 2 (GATA2)/aquaporin-4 (AQP4)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR-α) axis. Initially, colon mucosa biopsy tissues were harvested from healthy controls and patients with IBD for qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry analysis. EVs harvested from MSCs and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were used to stimulate the M064 cells to establish an in vitro inflammation cell model. Besides, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid intracolon administration was performed to establish in vivo IBD mouse models. After loss- and gain-of-function assays, the regulat
