Abstract: Objective:To investigate the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in mediating intercellular signaling. Methods: Microparticles (MP) from HUVEC and 293T were isolated by sequential centrifugation. THP-1 was co-cultured with microparticles. And then the migration of THP-1 was measured by transwell. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to study the related mechanisms. Results: Compared with the microparticles from 293T, MP from HUVEC could promote the migration of monocytes (P<0.05) and upregulate the expression of CXCR4 mRNA and protein (P<0.05). MiRNA-126 deficient MP could downregulate the migration of monocytes (P<0.05) and the expression of CXCR4 mRNA and protein (P<0.05) compared with miRNA-126 abundant MP. Conclusion: Microparticles from HUVEC could promote the migration of monocytes. As carriers, microparticles could mediate intercellular signaling.
