Femoral bones are evaluated histologically 24 h and 3 weeks post-trauma, while RANKL/OPG and β-CTx are measured systemically via ELISA after 3 weeks. Aging results in less mineralized bone and fewer osteoclasts within the fracture of aged mice in contrast to young groups after three weeks. Systemically, aged animals exhibit increased RANKL and OPG levels after fracture compared to their young counterparts. The RANKL/OPG ratio rises in aged Fx animals compared to young mice, with a similar trend in THFx groups.

Although elevated interleukin-12p70 (IL-12p70) is closely correlated with slower cognitive decline in older adults, its role in POCD remains unclear. Here, IL-12p70 is identified as a significant mediator of therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on POCD. EA at acupoints ST36, GV20, and GV24 significantly enhanced cognitive behaviors of POCD mice. IL-12p70, downregulated in POCD mice but rescued by EA treatment, is the cytokine closely associated with EA's therapeutic effect.

The PI3K-AKT-BCL2 axis enriched by in silico analysis is validated as the signaling mechanism underlying IL-12p70-induced neuroprotection. In vivo, beneficial effects of EA treatment on the activation of PI3K-AKT-BCL2 axis and POCD are reproduced by IL-12p70 administration but attenuated by IL-12p70 knockdown.

Via endocytosis, SEVs are phagocytosed by monocytes, neutrophils, and B cells. Studies with the monocytic THP-1 cell line find that pretreatment with SEVs results in a 32% (p < 0.0001) and 66% (p < 0.0001) increase in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) production when compared to vehicle control or N-SEVs respectively. Interestingly, relative to vehicle control, THP-1 cells exposed to N-SEVs exhibit a 20% decrease in TNF-α secretion (p < 0.05). RNA sequencing reveals significant differences in gene expression in THP-1 cells treated with SEVs or N-SEVs, with vesicle-mediated transport and cell cycle regulation pathways featuring predominantly with N-SEV treatment, while pathways relating to SLITS/ROBO signaling, cell metabolism, and cell cycle regulation are enriched in THP-1 cells treated with SEVs. Proteomic analysis also reveals significant differences between SEV and N-SEV cargo.
