Abstract
Background: This study aims to investigate the differential miRNA expression profile between the visceral white adipose tissue and the skeletal muscle of people with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery.
Methods: Skeletal muscle and visceral adipose tissue samples of 10 controls and 38 people with obesity (50% also with type 2 diabetes) undergoing bariatric surgery were collected. miRNA expression profiles were analyzed using Next-Generation Sequencing and subsequently validated using RT-PCR.
Results: Approximately 69% of miRNAs showed similar expression in both tissues, however, 55 miRNAs were preferentially expressed in visceral adipose tissue and 53 in skeletal muscle. miR-122b-5p was uniquely identified in skeletal muscle, while miR-1-3p and miR-206 were upregulated in skeletal muscle. Conversely, miR-224-5p and miR-335-3p exhibited upregulation in visceral adipose tissue. Notably, distinctions related to the presence of type 2 diabetes were observed solely in the expression of miR-1-3p and miR-206 in visceral adipose tissue.
Conclusions: This is the first study unveiling distinct miRNA expression profiles in paired samples of visceral adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in humans. The identification of obesity-specific miRNAs in these tissues opens up promising avenues for research into potential biomarkers for obesity diagnosis and treatment.
