Ultraviolet B (UVB) stimulates the generation of extracellular vesicles, which elicit systemic effects. Here, we studied whether UVB affects the release and microRNA (miR) content of keratinocyte exosomes (EXs) in diabetic conditions. In vitro, we examined the UVB effects on affecting EX release from keratinocyte HaCaT cells (HaCaT-EX) pretreated with high glucose. HaCaT-EX functions were evaluated on Schwann cells (SCs). In vivo, UVB-induced miR change in skin EXs of diabetic db/db mice was analyzed. The miRs of interest were validated in HaCaT-EXs. We found that: (1) UVB promoted HaCaT-EX generation in dose-and timedependent manners; 100 and 1800 J m −2 of UVB had the most prominent effect and were selected as effective low-and high-fluence UVB in vitro. (2) A total of 13 miRs were differentially expressed >3-fold in skin EXs in UVB-treated db/db mice; miR-126 was the most up-regulated by low-fluence UVB. (3) Functional studies revealed that the SC viability was improved by low-fluence UVB HaCaT-EXs, while worsened by high-fluence UVB HaCaT-EXs. (4) MiR-126 inhibitor attenuated the effects induced by low-fluence UVB HaCaT-EXs. Our data have demonstrated that low-and high-fluence UVBs promote HaCaT-EX generation but differentially affect exosomal miR levels and functions under diabetic conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
