Next-generation sequencing reveals that miR-16-5p, miR-19a-3p, miR-451a, and miR-25-3p cargo in plasma extracellular vesicles differentiates sedentary young males from athletes.

ABSTRACT: A sedentary lifestyle and Olympic participation are contrary risk factors for global mortality and incidence of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Extracellular vesicle miRNAs have been described to respond to exercise. No molecular characterization of young male sedentary people versus athletes is available; so, our aim was to identify the extracellular vesicle miRNA profile of chronically trained young endurance and resistance male athletes compared to their sedentary counterparts. A descriptive case-control design was used with 16 sedentary young men, 16 Olympic male endurance athletes, and 16 Olympic male resistance athletes. Next-generation sequencing and RT-qPCR and external and internal validation were performed in order to analyze extracellular vesicle miRNA profiles. Endurance and
