Mechanism diagram illustrating that microRNA-381 (miR-381) can activate Ras homologous A (RhoA)/Rho-kinase activity to promote the apoptosis of neurones in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) cells by inhibiting bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4). Moreover, miR-381 derived from extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promoted the recovery of spinal cord injury (SCI) by inhibiting the BRD4/Wnt family member 5A (WNT5A) axis in a rat model.
