“…Senile cataract in people with diabetes, which is called diabetes and cataracts in our study, is more common. The potential mechanisms for the pathogenesis of diabetes and cataracts are complicated and include the p38-MAPK signalling pathway [1,2] , polyol pathway [3] , and changes in in ammatory cytokines [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] . However, the precise mechanism of diabetes and cataracts remains unclear.…”

AIM: To investigate the role of exosomal miR-29b and Ca2+ in regulating the function of human lens epithelial cells (HLECs). METHODS: Exosomes were isolated from human aqueous humour (AH) by ultracentrifugation, and visualized by nanoparticle tracking and transmission electron microscopy. Exosomal miRNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed miRNAs between diabetes with cataracts (DMC) group and age-related cataracts (ARC) group. TargetScan was used to predict potential target of certain miRNA. The expression of CACNA1C mRNA was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and CACNA1C protein was determined by Western blotting. Concentration of Ca2+ in human AH and the culture supernatant of cells were detected by the calcium assay kit. Cell counting kit-8 was used to determine cell viability. RESULTS: Exosomes were isolated from human AH, which had a typical cup-shaped phenotype and a particle size distribution in accordance with micro extracellular vesicles. Exosomal miRNA sequencing revealed that miR-29b was significantly downregulated in DMC group compared with ARC. Ca2+ concentration of human AH in DMC was higher than that in ARC. The culture supernatant of cells transfected with miR-29b inhibitors had a higher concentration of Ca2+ than that transfected with miR-29b mimics. miR-29b reduced the viability of HLECs by upregulating CACNA1C expression. CONCLUSION: Exosomes isolated from human AH contains abundant miRNAs. A significantly expressed miRNA, miR-29b, can affect the concentration of Ca2+ and regulate HLEC processes by upregulating CACNA1C.

Background: Ca2+ was supposed to play an important role in the formation of cataract. Considering our increasing knowledge of exosomes, exosomal miRNAs isolated from aqueous humour may play an important role in the mechanism of diabetes and cataracts. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of exosomal miR-29b and Ca2+ in regulating the function of human lens epithelial cells. Methods: Exosomes were isolated from human aqueous humour by ultracentrifugation, and visualized by nanoparticle tracking and transmission electron microscopy. Exosomal miRNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed miRNAs between diabetes and cataracts group (DMC) and age-related cataracts group (ARC). TargetScan was used to predict potential target of certain miRNA. The expression of CACNA1C mRNA was determined by quantitative real-time PCR and CACNA1C protein was determined by Western blotting. Concentration of Ca2+ of human aqueous humour and cell culture supernatant was detected by the Calcium Assay Kit. Cell Counting Kit-8 was used to determine cell viability. Results: Exosomes could be isolated from human aqueous humour, which had a typical cup-shaped phenotype and a particle size distribution in accordance with micro extracellular vesicles. Exosomal miRNA sequencing revealed that miR-29b was significantly downregulated in diabetes and cataracts group (DMC) compared with age-related cataracts group (ARC). Ca2+ concentration of human aqueous humour in DMC was higher than that in ARC. Cell culture supernatant transfected with miR-29b inhibitors had a higher concentration of Ca2+ than that transfected with miR-29b mimics. miR-29b reduced the viability of human lens epithelium cells (HLECs) by up-regulating CACNA1C expression.Conclusions: Exosomes isolated from human aqueous humour contained abundant miRNAs. A significantly expressed miRNA, miR-29b, could affect the concentration of Ca2+ and regulate HLEC processes by up-regulating CACNA1C.
