Curcumin treatment was reported to delay the progression of OA, but its underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the role of curcumin in OA treatment. Accordingly, by conducting MTT and flow cytometry assays, we found that the exosomes derived from curcumin-treated MSCs helped to maintain the viability while inhibiting the apoptosis of model OA cells. Additionally, quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot assays showed that the exosomes derived from curcumin-treated MSCs significantly restored the down-regulated miR-143 and miR-124 expression as well as up-regulated NF-kB and ROCK1 expression in OA cells. Mechanistically, curcumin treatment decreased the DNA methylation of miR-143 and miR-124 promoters. In addition, the 3' UTRs of NF-kB and ROCK1 were proven to contain the binding sites for miR-143 and miR-124, respectively. Therefore, the up-regulation of miR-143 and miR-124 in cellular and mouse OA models treated with exosomes remarkably restored the normal expression of NF-kB and ROCK1. Consequently, the progression of OA was attenuated by the exosomes. Our results clarified the molecular mechanism underlying the therapeutic role of MSC-derived exosomes in OA treatment.
