Obesity alters endocrine and metabolic functions of adipose tissue and has been recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease, which in turn may contribute to the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, obesity-associated vasculopathy and cardiovascular disease. The pathogenesis of obesity involves many regulatory pathways including transcriptional regulatory networks, including microRNAs.
A total of 83 patients were included in the study. Patients were recruited from a cardiology outpatient clinic and were allocated into 3 age- and sex-matched groups according to their body mass index. Group 1 included 23 morbidly obese, group 2 30 obese, and group 3 30 normal or overweight subjects.
In our study, we showed that miR-143 and miR-223 levels were significantly lower in groups 1 and 2 than the control group (normal BMI or overweight).
Obesity leads to alterations in miRNA expressions and miRNA-143 and -223s can be used as biomarkers for the metabolic changes in obesity.
肥胖会改变脂肪组织的内分泌和代谢功能,并且已被公认为是一种慢性炎症性疾病,进而可能促使胰岛素抵抗、2型糖尿病、肥胖相关血管病变和心血管疾病的发生。肥胖的发病机制涉及许多调控途径,包括转录调控网络,其中就有微小RNA。
本研究共纳入83例患者。这些患者来自心脏病门诊,根据体重指数被分为3个年龄和性别匹配的组。第1组包括23例病态肥胖者,第2组30例肥胖者,第3组30例正常或超重受试者。
在我们的研究中,我们发现第1组和第2组中miR-143和miR-223的水平显著低于对照组(正常体重指数或超重)。
肥胖会导致微小RNA表达的改变,且miR-143和-223可作为肥胖代谢变化的生物标志物。
