ABSTRACT
Under the condition of chronic obesity, an increased level of free fatty acids along with low oxygen tension in the adipose tissue creates a pathophysiological adipose tissue microenvironment (ATenv), leading to the impairment of adipocyte function and insulin resistance. Here, we found the synergistic effect of hypoxia and lipid (H + L) surge in fostering adipose tissue macrophage (ATM) inflammation and polarization. ATenv significantly increased miR-210-3p expression in ATMs which promotes NF-κB activation–dependent proinflammatory cytokine expression along with the downregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokine expression. Interestingly, delivery of miR-210-3p mimic significantly increased macrophage inflammation in the absence of H + L co-stimulation, while miR-210-3p inhibitor notably compromised H + L–induced macrophage inflammation through increased production of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1), a negative regulator of the NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway. Mechanistically, miR-210 directly binds to the 3′-UTR of SOCS1 mRNA and silences its expression, thus preventing proteasomal degradation of NF-κB p65. Direct delivery of anti–miR-210-3p LNA in the ATenv markedly rescued mice from obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. Thus, miR-210-3p inhibition in ATMs could serve as a novel therapeutic strategy for managing obesity-induced type 2 diabetes.
