Exosomes and exosomal miRNAs from muscle-derived fibroblasts promote skeletal muscle fibrosis
2018-02-19
Abstract excerpt
We investigated in vitro and in vivo the pro-fibrotic role of exosomes released by muscle-derived fibroblasts of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients, and of miRNAs carried by exosomes. We found that exosomes from DMD fibroblasts, but not from myoblasts, had significantly higher levels of miR-199a-5p, a miRNA up-regulated in fibrotic conditions, compared to control exosomes. In control fibroblasts, exposure...
