The apoptosis of grafted islets is an urgent problem due to the high rate of islet loss soon after transplantation. MicroRNA-21-5p (miR-21-5p) is an essential mediator of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (BMSCs-Exo) during anti-apoptosis, but its effect and the underlying molecular mechanism in islet transplantation remain partially understood. Here, we found that miR-21-5p could be delivered to islet cells via BMSCs-Exo. Subsequently, we demonstrated that miR-21-5p overexpression reduced apoptosis in islets and INS-1 cells, whereas miR-21-5p inhibition enhanced apoptosis. A mechanistic analysis involving RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis was performed to determine the interaction between miR-21-5p and its target gene programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4), which was further verified by a dual luciferase assay. In vivo, the grafted islets overexpressing miR-21-5p showed a higher survival rate, better insulin secretion function, and a lower apoptosis rate. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that miR‑21‑5p from BMSCs-Exo protects against the apoptosis of grafted islets by inhibiting PDCD4 expression. Hence, miR-21-5p can be used as a cell-free therapeutic agent to minimize β-cell apoptosis at the early stage of islet transplantation. We demonstrated that BMSCs could deliver exosomes containing miR-21-5p into islet cells. Then, we found that miR-21-5p overexpression attenuated apoptosis of islets and rat insulinoma (INS-1) cells, while miR-21-5p inhibition significantly promoted apoptosis. The upregulated miR-21-5p directly binds to the 3'UTR of PDCD4, thereby reducing apoptosis in transplanted islets. This study confirms the results of previous studies, suggesting that miR-21-5p can be used as a therapeutic agent to minimize β-cell apoptosis in the early stage of islet transplantation and thus improve the transplantation outcome.
