摘 要:Ligamentum flavum(LF)hypertrophy(LFH)has been recognised as one of the key contributors to lumbar spinal ***,no effective methods are available to ameliorate this *** this study,human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicles(hUCMSC-EVs)were introduced for the first time as promising vehicles for drug delivery to treat *** downregulation of miR-146a-5p and miR-221-3p expressions in human LF tissues negatively correlated with increased LF *** hUCMSC-EVs enriched with these two miRNAs significantly suppressed LFH in vivo and notably ameliorated the progression of transforming growth factorβ1(TGF-β1)-induced fibrosis in vitro after delivering these two miRNAs to mouse LF *** results further demonstrated that miR-146a-5p and miR-221-3p directly bonded to the 3′-UTR regions of SMAD4 mRNA,thereby inhibiting the TGF-β/SMAD4 signalling ***,this translational study determined the effectiveness of a hUCMSC-EVs-based approach for the treatment of LFH and revealed the critical target of miR-146a-5p and *** findings provide new insights into promising therapeutics using a hUCMSC-EVs-based delivery system for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
