Mir-486-5p-rich Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Patients with Olanzapine-Induced Insulin Resistance Negatively Affect Glucose-Regulating Function

A high risk of glucometabolic disorder severely disturbs compliance and limits the clinical application of olanzapine. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been reported as emerging biomarkers in glucolipid metabolic disorders. A total of 81 individuals with continuous olanzapine treatment over 3 months were recruited in this study, and plasma EVs from these individuals were isolated and injected into rats via the tail vein to investigate the glucose-regulating function in vivo. Moreover, we performed a miRNA profiling assay by high through-put sequencing to clarify the differentiated miRNA profiles between two groups of patients who were either susceptible or not susceptible to olanzapine-induced insulin resistance (IR). Finally, we administered antagomir and cocultured them with adipocytes to explore the mechanism in vitro. The results showed that individual insulin sensitivity varied in those patients and in olanzapine-administered rats. Furthermore, treatment with circulating EVs from patients with olanzapine-induced IR led to the development of metabolic abnormalities in rats and adipocytes in vitro through the AKT-GLUT4 pathway. Deep sequencing illustrated that the miRNAs of plasma EVs from patients showed a clear difference based on susceptibility to olanzapine-induced IR, and miR-486-5p was identified as a notable gene. The adipocyte data indicated that miR-486-5p silencing partially reversed the impaired cellular insulin sensitivity. Collectively, this study confirmed the function of plasma EVs in the interindividual differences in olanzapine-induced insulin sensitivity.
