Traditional methods for isolating neuron-derived EVs from bodily fluids or conditioned media are based on bulk analysis methods, such as ultracentrifugation, isolation reagents, and immunoaffinity-based techniques, and lack spatial resolution to capture localized secretion dynamics. Here, our neurofluidic platform compartmentalizes neuronal networks and enables spatially resolved analysis of EV profiling before subsequent traditional isolation and content screening. This intermediate resolution provides critical insights into localized sub-neuronal EV secretion dynamics in cortical, hippocampal, and brainstem neurons. Using our platform, the influence of growth environment, cell maturation time, and exogenous stressors such as shear and biochemical stress can be unraveled. Biochemical stress is induced through okadaic acid (OA), a PP1A/PP2A inhibitor, which leads to hyperphosphorylation of proteins.

Results: sh-lncDlx6os1 inhibited HG-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and increased the expression of HO-1 and NRF2 in HG-treated cardiomyocytes. sh-lncDlx6os1 significantly suppressed the expression of the apoptotic molecule caspase3, and increased the expression of the anti-apoptotic molecule Bcl-2, thereby inhibiting HG-induced apoptosis.

Suppression of Parkin by si-Parkin weakened the regulatory effect of sh-lncDlx6os1 on apoptosis and caspase3 and Bcl-2 expression. si-Parkin also attenuated the inhibitory effect of sh-lncDlx6os1 on ROS generation and increased HO-1 and NRF2 expressions in HG-treated cardiomyocytes.

This study first identified the upregulated expression of mmu_circ_0000217 during osteogenic differentiation of OCCM-30 cells using high-throughput sequencing. The impact of mmu_circ_0000217 on cell proliferation and apoptosis was evaluated in OCCM-30 cells by modulating its expression and using CCK-8 assays and TUNEL staining. Morphological changes related to mineralization and differentiation were examined using Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red S staining (ARS). Osteogenic gene and protein expressions were analyzed with QPCR and Western blotting, which also detected JAK-STAT3 signaling pathway activation. High-throughput sequencing identified mmu_circ_0000217 as the most significantly upregulated circRNA during osteogenic induction. Functional experiments demonstrated that mmu_circ_0000217 overexpression significantly enhanced cell proliferation, inhibited apoptosis, and potentiated mineralization, as evidenced by increased ALP activity and Alizarin Red S staining. Conversely, its knockdown produced the opposite effects. Mechanistically, mmu_circ_0000217 functioned as a molecular sponge for miR-3064-3p, which led to the derepression of its target, DKK1, and consequent activation of the JAK-STAT3 signaling pathway. Mmu_circ_0000217 activated the JAK-STAT3 signaling pathway by adsorbing miR-3064-3p, promoted cell proliferation, inhibited apoptosis, and enhanced osteoblast differentiation.
