Abstract: Objective This study aims to analyze and compare microRNA (miRNA) profiles in exosomes (Exo) derived from human dental pulp stromal cells (DPSCs) under two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) culture condition. Methods DPSC-Exo was extracted from 2D and 3D culture of DPSCs and identified by transmission electron microscopy, Western blot analysis, and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). Differentially expressed miRNAs were screened by high-throughput sequencing for bioinformatics analysis and target gene prediction related to tissue regeneration and repair by using Dr.Tom system and TargetScan Website. Results 2D-DPSC-Exo and 3D-DPSC-Exo showed “saucer-like” double-layer membrane structure, expressed CD63 and CD9 positively and had diameter consistent with Exo characteristics. A total of 253 Exo-derived miRNAs were detected, among which 222 were in the 3D group and 99 were specifically expressed. Compared with the 2D culture, a significant difference of 60 [︱log2(3D/2D)︱≥1, Qvalue≤0.001]. Differentially expressed miRNAs were mainly involved in cellular process and binding. The Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway showed that these miRNAs were significantly enriched in metabolic pathways. Candidate target genes of miR-302 include fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 19 and epidermal growth factor receptor. Candidate target genes of miR-24-3p may play a role in tissue regeneration and repair, including neuronal differentiation (NEUROD) 2, neuroepithelial cell transforming 1, NEUROD1, neuronal regeneration-related protein, FGF11, FGF binding protein 3, FGF receptor 3, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) beta polypeptide, PDGFR alpha polypeptide, angiopoietin 4, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5. Conclusion Compared with 2D culture, 3D culture could regulate the expression of some miRNAs in DPSC-Exo. Upregulated miRNAs are mainly related to regeneration and repair, and 3D culture might be suitable to optimize the therapeutic potential of Exo.
