Abstract

Exosomes-related microRNAs (miRNAs) have been considered to be the significant biomarkers contributing to the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). We observed the implicit mechanism of exosomes-miR-148a derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in AF. The AF cell and mice models were established firstly. QRT-PCR and Western blot analysis were applied to detect the expression of miR-148a, SPARC-associated modular calcium-binding protein 2 (SMOC2), Bcl-2, Bax, and caspase-3. BMSCs were separated from healthy mice and exosomes were obtained from BMSCs. BMSCs were transfected with mimics and inhibitor, and HL-1 cells were treated with mimics and pcDNA3.1. MTT assay were used to detect cell viability of cells. Flow cytometric analysis and TUNEL analysis were used for detecting cell apoptosis of cells. In our study, exosomes derived from BMSCs inhibited the development of AF, and miR-148a acted a vital role in this segment. SMOC2 was a _target gene of miR-148a and promoted apoptosis of HL-1 cells. Additionally, miR-148a mimics decreased cellular apoptosis, eliminated SMOC2 expression, and elevated Bcl-2 expression in AF-treated cells. Collectively, miR-148a overexpressed in BMSC-exosomes restrained cardiomyocytes apoptosis by inhibiting SMOC2.
