Cholesterol efflux alterations in adolescent obesity: role of adipose-derived extracellular vesical microRNAs
Macrophage cholesterol efflux capacity has been identified as a predictor for cardiovascular disease. We assessed the relationship between adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicle microRNAs and macrophage cholesterol efflux capacity. We assessed an adolescent cohort (n = 93, Age, median (IQR) = 17 (3...

Summary: | Macrophage cholesterol efflux capacity has been identified as a predictor for cardiovascular disease. We assessed the relationship between adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicle microRNAs and macrophage cholesterol efflux capacity.
We assessed an adolescent cohort (n = 93, Age, median (IQR) = 17 (3) year, Female = 71, Male = 22) throughout the BMI continuum (BMI = 45.2 (13.2) kg/m
) for: (1) cholesterol efflux capacity and lipoprotein profiles; (2) adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicle microRNAs in serum; (3) the role of visceral adipose tissue extracellular vesicle in regulation of cholesterol efflux and cholesterol efflux gene expression in THP-1 macrophages in vitro.
Efflux capacity was significantly associated with HDL (r = 0.30, p = 0.01) and LDL (r = 0.33, p = 0.005) particle size. Multivariate-analysis identified six microRNAs associated (p |
