Brown adipocyte-derived exosomes in type 2 diabetes mellitus impair endothelial function via regulating intracellular calcium cycle by Xiaojie Ruan, Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao

“…Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 3 (ITPR3) gene expression in MAECs was significantly reduced in diabetic mice. Functional studies revealed that ITPR3 positively regulates the Ca2+/CAMKII/eNOS signaling pathway to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) release, impairing endothelial relaxation.ConclusionBAT-derived exosomes in T2DM reduce ITPR3 expression in endothelial cells, lowering intracellular Ca2+ and NO production, thereby contributing to vascular endothelium-dependent relaxation dysfunction. …”
