Abstract Macrophages play an essential role in the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), and the macrophage
shifting from M1 to M2 phenotypes might be a potential strategy for the treatment of MIRI. It has been reported that
miR-182 plays an important role in MSC-Exo-associated macrophage polarization. As circBCRC-3 is a newly
discovered circle RNA that worked as a sponge of miR-182, this research aimed to find if circBCRC-3 plays a role in
MSC-Exo-associated macrophage polarization. Firstly, circBCRC-3 was identified by divergent primers in
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Secondly, the exosome of MSCs was isolated and identified by More >
