ABSTRACT
Background:
Obesity is associated with metabolic and cardiovascular co-morbidities. It is important to determine the factors associated with metabolic derangement in obesity. Autophagy plays a major role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. MicroRNA-30a targets beclin1, the main regulator of autophagy.Purpose:
We assess circulating microRNA-30a and serum beclin1 in women with metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO), women with metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and non-obese healthy control and determine their relationship with different clinical and metabolic variables in women with obesity. Patients andMethods:
This cross-sectional study included 34 women with MHO, 34 with MUO, and 20 healthy non-obese women. Blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference were recorded. Glycemic and lipid indices, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, ALT, AST, microRNA-30a expression in serum were measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction and beclin1 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were measured.Results:
The expression of microRNA-30a was significantly higher, and beclin1 level was significantly lower in women with MUO compared to those in women with MHO (P<0.001; for both). People with MUO were significantly older (P<0.001) and had higher TSH (P=0.006), HbA1c (P<0.001), triglyceride (P<0.001), and ALT (P<0.001) compared to women with MHO. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in any anthropometric measurements, HDL-C or LDL-C. In univariate analyses, age, ALT, TSH, microRNA-30a, and beclin1 were significantly correlated with the MUO phenotype (P<0.001; for all). Significance was confirmed in the multivariate analysis for microRNA-30a (95% CI 1.317-28.252; P=0.021).Conclusion:
MicroRNA-30a, beclin1, age, and ALT and TSH levels were significantly associated with the MUO phenotype, among which microRNA-30a was the best indicator of metabolic syndrome in women with obesity.
