Exosomal transfer of obesity adipose tissue for decreased miR-141-3p mediate insulin resistance of hepatocytes.

ABSTRACT: Exosomes, the nano-vesicles released from living cells, were the important mediator for cell-to-cell communication. In order to clarify whether the exosomes derived from obesity adipose tissue mediate insulin resistance of hepatocytes, we extract the exosomes from the adipose tissue of different mice models. Exosomes derived from ob/ob mice (Ob-exosomes), B6 mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD-exosomes) and normal B6 mice (WT-exosomes) displayed similar size and molecular makers, but their effect on the insulin sensitivity of hepatocytes were obviously different or opposite. Abundant exosomal miRNAs in Ob-, HFD- and WT-exosomes were detected by the Next Generation Sequencing. The levels of miR-141-3p in Ob- and HFD-exosomes were significantly lower than WT-exosomes. MiR-141-3p can be
