Objective: 1)miR-21-5p was transfected into cisplatin-resistant osteosarcoma cells(U2OS/DDP)to detect the effect of exosomal derived miR-21-5p on osteosarcoma resistance.2)The target genes of miR-21-5p action in osteosarcoma cells were screened and verified,and the regulatory effect of exosomal miR-21-5p target genes on drug resistance in osteosarcoma was detected after transfection into U2OS/DDP.3)The changes of animal serum exosomes miR-21-5p and the expression of related genes in tumor tissues were verified by tumor carrying experiments,and the correlation between exosomes
