Ischemic stroke causes severe brain damage and remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The microRNA-134 (miR-134) is involved in regulating the process of ischemia injury in neural cells and brain with ischemia stroke. The role of miR-134 in ischemic stroke remains poorly understood. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-derived exosomal miR-134 on rat oligodendrocytes (OLs) apoptosis and its underlying mechanism of action. The results demonstrated that levels of miR-134 in BMSCs-exosome decreased but increased incaspase-8 after oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) treatment. Exosomal miR-134 significantly inhibited apoptosis by decreasing caspase-8 expression and activity in OGD-treated group cultured with BMSCs-exosome and OLs. In addition, the miR-134 mimics decreased caspase-8 expression in OGD-treated OLs, whereas miR-134 inhibitors exacerbated the changes in the expression of the procaspase-8 and caspase-8 cleaved product proteins caused by OGD. The caspase-8 knockdown using caspase-8 small interfering RNA decreased OLs apoptosis, reversing the improvements that the miR-134 inhibited cells apoptosis by targeting caspase-8. Taken together, these results demonstrated that BMSCs-derived exosomes suppressed OLs apoptosis through exosomal miR-134 by negatively regulating the caspase-8-dependent apoptosis pathway and may, therefore, be a novel potential therapeutic target for ischemic stroke treatment.

The aim of present study was to evaluate the impact of perimenopause on insulin resistance. Specifically, insulin sensitivity was assessed in a perimenopausal mouse model treated with 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD), together with the changes in exosomal miRNA and hepatic mRNA expression profiles. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was utilized to assess the status of insulin resistance, and insulin action was evaluated during menopausal transition.

Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) present in oviductal (OF) and uterine fluid (UF) have been shown to enhance bovine embryo quality during in vitro culture by reducing lipid contents and modulating lipid metabolism-related genes (LMGs), while also influencing cell proliferation, suggesting their involvement on the regulation of different biological pathways. The regulation of signaling pathways related to cell differentiation, proliferation, and metabolism is crucial for early embryo development and can determine the success or failure of the pregnancy. Bioactive molecules within EVs in maternal reproductive fluids, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), may contribute to this regulatory process as they modulate gene expression through post-transcriptional mechanisms.

Background: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is defined as a reduction in ovarian reserve and oocyte quality. The pathophysiology of DOR has not been completely explained as of yet. Scholars have uncovered a large number of exosomes that have been detected in follicular fluid, and exosomal miRNAs have been proven to play a critical role in controlling ovarian disorders and follicle formation.

Background Pre-eclampsia remains a leading cause of maternal and foetal mortality with a poorly understood pathophysiology. It can lead to a range of clinical presentations, but proteinuria and hypertension are key components of the diagnosis. These signs arise due to disordered placental implantation due to poor trophoblastic invasion, resulting in placental oxidative stress due to hypoxia.

MiR-134 has emerged as a potential molecular biomarker for the detection and management of major depressive disorder (MDD). Nevertheless, the specific effects of miR-134 as a regulatory element on brain function and its implications for the clinical presentation of MDD are not yet fully understood. In order to investigate the potential neural mechanisms that contribute to the relationship between miR-134 and MDD, we employed a parallel two-stage cross-scale multi-omics approach.
