Abstract in Portuguese
A prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade tem aumentado em diversos países, inclusive no Brasil. Indivíduos obesos apresentam diversas alterações metabólicas e cardiovasculares, as quais contribuem para o aumento da morbidade e mortalidade nesta população. Diversos estudos têm reportado a importante contribuição dos microRNAs na patogênese de doenças cardiovasculares e metabólicas. Nesse estudo, avaliamos o impacto do microRNA-22 (miR-22) nos distúrbios cardiovasculares e metabólicos promovidos pela obesidade induzida por dieta hipercalórica em camundongos fêmeas. Descobrimos que a deleção do miR-22 atenua o ganho de peso corpóreo, adiposidade e previne a resistência à insulina e dislipidemia promovidos pela obesidade. Ainda, demonstramos que fêmeas knockouts para o miR-22 (KO) exibiram hipertrofia cardíaca sem disfunção ventricular esquerda e fibrose do miocárdio. Análise de sequenciamento de RNAs mostrou que a deleção do miR-22 e a dieta hipercalórica alteraram o perfil de expressão de RNAm no coração e as análises de enriquecimento de vias revelaram o aumento na expressão de genes associados à força de contração e oxidação de ácidos graxos no coração das fêmeas WT obesas. Além disso, observamos um aumento de genes relacionados ao crescimento do coração e às respostas do hormônio tireoidiano no coração das fêmeas KO. Curiosamente, as fêmeas obesas com deleção do miR-22 exibiram níveis reduzidos de RNAm de Calm1, Yap1, Egfr e Tgfbr1 no coração em comparação com as controles. Em conjunto, nossos resultados demonstraram, pela primeira vez, que a deleção do miR-22 induz hipertrofia cardíaca em fêmeas sem prejuízo da função miocárdica e sugerem o miR-22 como um potencial alvo terapêutico para o tratamento de distúrbios metabólicos relacionados à obesidade em fêmeas.

Abstract in English
The prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased in several countries, including Brazil. Obese individuals have several metabolic and cardiovascular complications, which contribute to increased morbidity and mortality in this population. Several studies have shown the important contribution of microRNAs in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. In this study, we evaluated the impact of microRNA-22 (miR-22) on cardiovascular and metabolic disorders promoted by hypercaloric diet-induced obesity in female mice. We found that miR-22 deletion attenuates obesity-induced body weight gain and adiposity in females, as well as to prevent insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. In addition, we demonstrated that miR-22 knockout (KO) females exhibited cardiac hypertrophy without left ventricular dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis. RNA sequencing analysis showed that both miR-22 deletion and hypercaloric diet were able to change the mRNA expression profiles in the heart. Pathway enrichment analyzes revealed an increase in expression of genes associated with the regulation of the heart contraction force and oxidation of fatty acids in the heart of obese WT females. In addition, we observed an increase in expression of genes related to thyroid hormone responses and heart growth signaling in the heart of KO females. Curiously, miR-22 KO obese females exhibited reduced mRNA levels of Calm1, Yap1, Egfr, and Tgfbr1 in the heart compared to control KO females. Together, our results demonstrated, for the first time, that deletion of miR-22 induces cardiac hypertrophy in females without affecting myocardial function and suggest miR-22 as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of obesity-related metabolic disorders in females.
