RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sleep-disordered-breathing (SDB), which is characterized by chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH) and sleep fragmentation (SF), is a prevalent condition that promotes metabolic dysfunction, particularly among patients suffering from obstructive hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). Exosomes are generated ubiquitously, are readily present in the circulation, and their cargo may exert substantial functional cellular alterations in both physiological and pathological conditions. However, the effects of plasma exosomes on adipocyte metabolism in patients with OHS or in mice subjected to IH or SF mimicking SDB are unclear. METHODS: Exosomes from fasting morning plasma samples from obese adults with polysomnographically-confirmed OSA before and after 3 months of adherent CPAP therapy were assayed. In addition, C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to (1) sleep control (SC), (2) sleep fragmentation (SF), and (3) intermittent hypoxia (HI) for 6 weeks, and plasma exosomes were isolated. Equivalent exosome amounts were added to differentiated adipocytes in culture, after which insulin sensitivity was assessed using 0 nM and 5 nM insulin-induced pAKT/AKT expression changes by western blotting. RESULTS: When plasma exosomes were co-cultured and internalized by human naive adipocytes, significant reductions emerged in Akt phosphorylation responses to insulin when compared to exosomes obtained after 24 months of adherent CPAP treatment (n = 24; p < 0.001), while no such changes occur in untreated patients (n = 8). In addition, OHS exosomes induced significant increases in adipocyte lipolysis that were attenuated after CPAP, but did not alter pre-adipocyte differentiation. Similarly, exosomes from SF- and IH-exposed mice induced attenuated p-AKT/total AKT responses to exogenous insulin and increased glycerol content in naive murine adipocytes, without altering pre-adipocyte differentiation. CONCLUSIONS: Using in vitro adipocyte-based functional reporter assays, alterations in plasma exosomal cargo occur in SDB, and appear to contribute to adipocyte metabolic dysfunction. Further exploration of exosomal miRNA signatures in either human subjects or animal models and their putative organ and cell targets appears warranted.

RESUMO

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is prevalent in obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). However, there is a paucity of data assessing pathogenic factors associated with PH. Our objective is to assess risk factors that may be involved in the pathogenesis of PH in untreated OHS. METHODS: In a post hoc analysis of the Pickwick trial, we performed a bivariate analysis of baseline characteristics between patients with and without PH. Variables with a P value ≤ .10 were defined as potential risk factors and were grouped by theoretical pathogenic mechanisms in several adjusted models. Similar analysis was carried out for the 2 OHS phenotypes, with and without severe concomitant obstructive sleep apnea. RESULTS: Of 246 patients with OHS, 122 (50%) had echocardiographic evidence of PH defined as systolic pulmonary artery pressure ≥ 40 mm Hg. Lower levels of awake PaO2 and higher body mass index were independent risk factors in the multivariate model, with a negative and positive adjusted linear association, respectively (adjusted odds ratio 0.96; 95% confidence interval 0.93 to 0.98; P = .003 for PaO2, and 1.07; 95% confidence interval 1.03 to 1.12; P = .001 for body mass index). In separate analyses, body mass index and PaO2 were independent risk factors in the severe obstructive sleep apnea phenotype, whereas body mass index and peak in-flow velocity in early/late diastole ratio were independent risk factors in the nonsevere obstructive sleep apnea phenotype. CONCLUSIONS: This study identifies obesity per se as a major independent risk factor for PH, regardless of OHS phenotype. Therapeutic interventions targeting weight loss may play a critical role in improving PH in this patient population.
