The cells were distributed into three distinct groups: the control group, the POF group, and the POF + HUCMSC group. The plasmid sh-NC, sh-miR-10 a and miR-10 a mimic were transfected into KGN cells. After co-cultured with HUCMSC-EVs for 48 h, they were divided into HUCMSC group, sh-miR-10 a-HUMSCs-exosomes group and miR-10 a-HUMSCs-exosomes group. Flow cytometry was adopted to assess the impact of HUMSCs surface immune antigens and miR-10a-HUCMSCs-exosomes on KGN cell apoptosis. Additionally, the evaluation of cell proliferation was carried out through CCK-8 and EDU assays. Western blot analysis was utilized to detect the Caspase-3, Bax, and Bcl-2 proteins levels. Furthermore, the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, MDA, SOD, and CAT were quantified using ELISA.Results: Compared with the Control group, the POF group inhibited the growth of ovarian granulosa cells (P< 0.01), reduced the number of EDU cells (P< 0.01), and increased the protein expression of Caspase-3 (P< 0.05) and Bax (P< 0.01). HUMSCs treatment significantly down-regulated the expression of IL-6, TNF-α and MDA, while up-regulating the expression of IL-10, SOD and CAT (P< 0.01); the overexpression of miR-10a promoted cell growth, besides, the introduction of miR-10a-HUMSCs-derived exosomes led to an elevation in the proliferation rate of OGCs affected by POF and concurrently suppressed the apoptosis rate.Conclusion: HUMSCs-derived exosomes modified by miR-10a have protective effects on premature ovarian failure and ovarian granulosa cell function in POF model.Keywords: miR-10a, premature ovarian failure, hUMSCs, cis-diaminedichloroplatinum, ovarian granulosa cells
