摘要

Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in severe disability, and early detection of molecular changes is crucial for guiding treatment. In both rat and human samples, we observed a significant increase in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-derived extracellular vesicle (EV) miR-9-3p after SCI, prompting further investigation into its role. In a rat model, miR-9-3p levels were significantly lower at the injured spinal levels but higher in the motor cortex, where astrocytes showed the highest expression. Functional analyses revealed that miR-9-3p regulates energy metabolism, immune activity, and oxidative stress in neurons, inducing transcriptional changes suggestive of stress adaptation and synaptic remodeling. These findings demonstrate that EV-associated miR-9-3p modulates injury responses by reducing energy demands and supporting structural and functional adaptation, establishing it as a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for acute SCI.
