Influence of inflammation on the expression of microRNA-140 in extracellular vesicles from 2D and 3D culture models of synovial-membrane-derived stem cells.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: In osteoarthritis (OA), articular homeostasis is regulated by microRNA-140 that inhibits ADAMTS-5, an enzyme that cleaves aggrecan and stimulates the synthesis of other inflammatory mediators. This study aims to evaluate the expression of microRNA-140 in extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from equine synovial-membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (eqSMMSCs) cultured in monolayer (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) culture models under an Methods: Four experimental groups of eqSMMSC cultures were defined for isolation of the EVs. The 2D and 3D control groups were cultured in a conventional cell culture medium, while the 2D-OA and 3D-OA treatment groups were exposed to an OA-like medium containing IL-1β and TNFα. The culture media samples were collected at 24 h, 72 h, and 120 h time points for EV isolation and characterization using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction was employed to assess the expressions of microRNA-140 in both the cells and EVs. All statistical analyses were conducted at the 5% significance level. Results: Encapsulation of the eqSMMSCs protected the cells from the inflammatory media compared to the monolayer cultures. EVs were found in higher concentrations in the 3D-OA cultures. Additionally, higher expressions of microRNA-140 were observed in the cells of the 3D-OA group at 24 and 72 h, whereas microRNA-140 expressions in the EVs were higher in the 3D group at 72 h and in the 2D-OA group at 120 h ( Conclusion: The responses of the eqSMMSCs to inflammatory stimuli involve intracellular expression of microRNA-140 and its subsequent transportation via the EVs, with quicker responses observed in the 3D than 2D cultures. This study sheds light on the behaviors of stem cells in restoring homeostasis in osteoarthritic joints.
