Extracellular vesicles secreted from human myotubes of T2D and NGT donors
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and substantial healthcare costs. Peripheral insulin resistance, involving interconnected dysregulation of multiple organs, is considered a major driver of T2D. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are suggested as mediators of this dysregulation based on their properties in intercellular communication. Given the role of skeletal muscle in glucose metabolism, the content of skeletal muscle-derived EVs may provide insights into mechanisms of T2D. To examine this, myotubes from severely obese female T2D donors and matched women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were cultured. Small EVs (sEVs) were isolated by differential centrifugation and filter columns and characterized by nanoparticle tracking analysis, flow cytometry, and transmission electron microscopy. The micro-RNA (miR) content of sEV was analyzed via Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 4.0, while proteins were detected by LC-MS/MS.
