Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated miR-150-3p Delivery in Joint Homeostasis: A Potential Treatment for Osteoarthritis?

Abstract

H-FLS-EVs protect chondrocyte function and maintain joint homeostasis by modulating the innate immune response by suppressing the Trim14/NF-κB/IFNβ axis. These effects are achieved through the EV-mediated transport of miR-150-3p from the FLSs to the chondrocytes. Our findings show that EV-mediated miR-150-3p can be used to suppress OA, thus providing a novel therapeutic strategy. Additionally, the EV-mediated miR-150-3p transport may also serve as a potential biomarker in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of OA.
