Exosomal-miRNA sequencing of optineurin gene knockdown BV2 cells and wild type BV2 cells

To compare the miRNA profiles in exosomes derived from optineurin gene knockdown (Optn-KD)BV2s cells and wild type (WT) BV2 cells, BV2 cells were divided into two groups, Optn-KD group or WT group. We treated the Optn-KD group with Optn siRNA for 24 hours. Then, MiRNA profiles for each group were examined by Illumina HiSeq4000. We found differentiated miRNA profiles in the two groups. Compared with WT BV2 cell-derived exosomes, 4 miRNAs (miR-125b-5p, miR-351-5p, miR-505-5p, miR-novel-chr8_37700) were up-regulated and 2 miRNAs (miR-574-5p, miR-99b-5p) were down-regulated in Optn-KD BV2 cell-derived exosomes. This study provides a framework for characterizing the exosomal-miRNAs in Optn-KD BV2 cells. Exosomal-miRNA sequences of Optn knockdown BV2 cells and wild type BV2 cells were examined by Illumina HiSeq4000
