Effect of P.M OMVs on mitochondria-dependent osteoclast apoptosis. (A) Venn diagram showing the intersection of negatively correlated miRNA–mRNA pairs within miRNA and mRNA sequences. (B) KEGG enrichment analysis of upregulated genes is shown in the bubble chart. The top 15 genes significantly enriched in the KEGG pathway (p < 0.05) are presented. Changes in osteoclast (C, D) apoptosis, (E, F) intracellular ROS, and (G, H) mitochondrial membrane potential level after being cultured with or without 0.15 or 0.3 μg/ml of P.M OMVs for 5 days. (I) Western blot analysis of caspase-3, Bcl-2, and Bax. (J) Cyto c expression in the cytoplasm and mitochondria with or without P.M OMV treatment. Data were obtained from three independent experiments and represented as mean ± SD. ####p < 0.0001 compared to M-CSF. *p < 0.05; **p < 001; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001 compared to M-CSF + RANKL. ns, not significant.
