miRNA expression analysis was performed by qRT-PCR array on three different samples of BMSC-EVs. Briefly, RNA was extracted from purified EVs by
mirVana Isolation Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), according with manufacturer’s instruction. RNA concentration was measured by
Nanodrop ND-1000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and the ratio 260/280 and 260/230 showed absence of contaminants. Fifty nanograms of total RNA were retro-transcribed to cDNA with TaqMan
® MicroRNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). cDNA was pre-amplified with Megaplex™ RT Primers, Human Pool Set v3.0 and TaqMan
® PreAmp Master Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) by using
Veriti Thermal Cycler (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The expression profile of a panel of 754 human miRNAs was evaluated by TaqMan
® Array Human MicroRNA Card Set v3.0 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) with
QuantStudio12k Flex system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).
ExpressionSuite Software 1.1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was used to calculate Ct values. Values of Amp score < 1.1 or Cq conf < 0.7 or Ct > 34 were excluded from analysis. Only miRNAs expressed in all samples of the same group were included for analysis.
