Adipose Tissue Macrophage-Derived Exosomal miRNAs Can Modulate In Vivo and In Vitro Insulin Sensitivity
Open accessAbstract
MiRNAs are regulatory molecules that can be packaged into exosomes and secreted from cells. Here, we show that adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) in obese mice secrete miRNA-containing exosomes (Exos), which cause glucose intolerance and insulin resistance when administered to lean mice. Conversely, ATM Exos obtained from lean mice improve glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity when administered to obese recipients. miR-155 is one of the miRNAs overexpressed in obese ATM Exos, and earlier studies have shown that PPARγ is a miR-155 target. Our results show that miR-155KO animals are insulin sensitive and glucose tolerant compared to controls. Furthermore, transplantation of WT bone marrow into miR-155KO mice mitigated this phenotype. Taken together, these studies show that ATMs secrete exosomes containing miRNA cargo. These miRNAs can be transferred to insulin target cell types through mechanisms of paracrine or endocrine regulation with robust effects on cellular insulin action, in vivo insulin sensitivity, and overall glucose homeostasis.

In the citing paper
“Although the mechanism of RBC-EV mediating miRNA function has not been extensively studied, RBC-EV is a member of EVs in the whole blood, which are widely reported to be absorbed by the recipient cells and play a role as a conventional mechanism of cell–cell communication (Thomou et al., 2017; Ying et al., 2017), suggesting that RBC-EVs have the potential of communicating with recipient cells in”

“Studies show that these particles, located in exosomes of adipocytes and macrophages of adipose tissue and secreted from them into the circulation, can influence the development of IR through mechanisms, such as inhibition of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR-gamma) expression and affecting PI3K/AKT-GLUT4 signaling pathway [57,58,59].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
