RATIONALE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)-induced endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction contributes to OSA-related cardiovascular sequelae. The mechanistic basis of endothelial impairment by OSA is unclear.
OBJECTIVES The goals of this study were to identify the mechanism of OSA-induced EC dysfunction and explore the potential therapies for OSA-accelerated cardiovascular disease.
METHODS The experimental methods include data mining, bioinformatics, EC functional analyses, OSA mouse models, and assessment of OSA human subjects.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Using mined miRNA-seq data, we found that microRNA 210 (miR-210) conferred the greatest induction by intermittent hypoxia in ECs. Consistently, the serum level of miR-210 was higher in OSA individuals from two independent cohorts. Importantly, miR-210 level was positively correlated with the apnea-hypopnea index. RNA-seq data collected from ECs transfected with miR-210 or treated with OSA serum showed a set of genes commonly altered by miR-210 and OSA serum; which are largely involved in mitochondrion-related pathways. ECs transfected with miR-210 or treated with OSA serum showed reduced oxygen consumption rate, mitochondrial membrane potential and DNA abundance. Mechanistically, intermittent hypoxia induced sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) bound to the promoter region of miR-210, which in turn inhibited the iron-sulfur cluster assembly enzyme and led to mitochondrial dysfunction. Moreover, the SREBP2 inhibitor betulin alleviated intermittent hypoxia-increased systolic blood pressure in the OSA mouse model.
