List of diseases and the associated effect on EV miRNA.

Disease miRNA Involved Reference
Chronic Lung Disease Hyperoxia-treated lung epithelial cells caused an upregulation of miR-320a and miR-221 in MVs [45]
CLD causes elevated serum EV levels of miR-21 in human infants [46]
Immune Response IL-4 causes upregulated miR-138-5p and miR-149-5p in BMDM-derived exosomes [48]
Neuroinflammation Astrocytes stimulated with IL-1β increased exosomal levels of let-7d, miR-126, miR-130b, miR-139-5p, and miR-141-3p [50]
Exosomal miR-193-3p delivered to a SAH mouse caused a reduction in HDAC3 reduced inflammation [52]
Diabetes Mellitus Hyperglycemia causes a reduction in MV and AB-derived miR-126 and MV-derived miR-26a [58,59]
Diabetic neuropathy patients demonstrate increased miR-126 within plasma-derived EVs [60]
EV-mediated delivery of miR-126 improved endothelial barrier function and aids in EPC recovery [60,61]
Cancer In A549 cells, Syndecan-1 expression caused a 184-fold upregulation of exosome-derived has-miR-485-3p, which has been shown to suppress cancer growth [69,70]
Tumor-derived exosomes Dicer, which converts pre-miRNAs to mature miRNAs to promote proliferation [71]
Bile-derived EVs from CCA patients have upregulated miR-191, miR-486-3p, and miR-1274b and downregulated miR-195 within the CCA cells [74,75]
miR-21, miR-141, miR-200a, miR-200c, miR-200b, miR-203, miR-205, and miR-214 are upregulated in both OC tumor cells and OC-derived exosomes, while miR-205-5p, miR-145-5p, miR-10a-5p, miR-346, and miR-328-3p were all found to be upregulated exclusively in OC-derived exosomes [76,77]
Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis Fibroblast-derived exosomes mediate cardiac hypertrophy via potential miR-21 dependent mechanism [81]
miR-92a-3p, miR-222-3p, and miR-26a-5p are selectively sorted into MVs through an oxLDL-dependent mechanism [83]
KLF2 assists with packaging miR-143/145 into EVs for atheroprotective effect of SMCs [88]
