Microcystin-LR prenatal exposure induces coronary heart disease through macrophage polarization imbalance mediated by trophoblast-derived extracellular vesicles.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Trophoblast-derived extracellular vesicles (T-EVs) increase during pregnancy and act as a critical signal in macrophage polarization. However, MC-LR significantly affected the miRNA expression profile of T-EVs. Upon internalization into macrophages, T-EVs-derived miR-377-3p specifically targets the 3’UTR region of NR6A1 to inhibit the gene expression. Silencing of transcription suppressor NR6A1 leads to abnormal activation of the downstream mTOR/S6K1/SREBP pathway, inducing metabolic reprogramming and ultimately leading to M1 polarization of macrophages.
