Abstract

Obesity is a chronic disease that interferes with normal repair processes, including adipose mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (ASCs) function. ASCs produce extracellular vesicles (EVs) that activate a repair program in recipient cells partly via their micro-RNA (miRNA) cargo. We hypothesized that obesity alters the miRNA expression profile of human ASC-derived EVs, limiting their capacity to repair injured cells. Human ASCs were harvested from obese and age- and gender-matched non-obese (lean) subjects during bariatric or cosmetic surgeries, respectively (n = 5 each), and their EVs isolated. Following high-throughput sequencing analysis, differentially expressed miRNAs were identified and their gene targets classified based on cellular component, molecular function, and biological process. The capacity of human lean- and obese-EVs to modulate inflammation, apoptosis, as well as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and Wnt signaling in injured human proximal tubular epithelial (HK2) cells was evaluated in vitro. The number of EVs released from lean- and obese-ASCs was similar, but obese-EVs were smaller compared to lean-EVs. Differential expression analysis revealed 8 miRNAs upregulated (fold change > 1.4, p < 0.05) and 75 down...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
