    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Cerebral ischemia (CI) induces a profound neuroinflammatory response, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Exosomes from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC-exos) have been found to play a crucial role in cell communication by transferring molecules including microRNAs (miRNAs), which have been shown to modulate the inflammatory response after CI and are viable molecular targets for altering brain function. The current study aimed to explore the contribution of ADSC-exosomal miR-21-5p to the neuroinflammation after CI. METHODS: The differentially expressed miR-21-5p in CI was screened based on literature search. The target mRNAs of miR-21-5p were predicted using online databases and verified by luciferase reporter assay. Then, BV2 cells were treated with hemin to simulate the inflammatory response after CI, and its animal model was induced using the MCAO method. Ischemia was evaluated in rats using 2, 3, 5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. ADSCs-exos were further isolated and identified by western blot analysis and transmission electron microscope. RESULTS: MiR-21-5p was significantly down-regulated in CI and alleviated neuropathic damage after CI by the PIK3R1/PI3K/AKT signaling axis. And miR-21-5p derived from ADSCs-exos alleviated neuroinflammation after CI via promoting microglial M2 polarization. CONCLUSION: We demonstrated that ADSC-exosomal miR-21-5p mitigated post-CI inflammatory response through the PIK3R1/PI3K/AKT signaling axis and could offer neuroprotection after CI through promoting polarization of M2 microglia.
