    Serum extracellular vesicle (EV)-derived arginase 1 (ARG 1) plays a critical role in diabetes-associated endothelial dysfunction. This study was performed to determine the levels of serum EV-derived ARG 1 in T2DM and non-T2DM participants and to examine the association of serum EV-derived ARG 1 with T2DM incidence. We performed a cross-sectional study in 103 Chinese, including 73 T2DM patients and 30 non-T2DM. Serum EVs were prepared via ultracentrifugation. Serum EV-derived ARG 1 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The correlations between serum EV-derived ARG 1 and clinical variables were analyzed. The association of serum EV-derived ARG 1 levels with T2DM was determined by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Interaction subgroup analysis was used to evaluate the interaction of the relevant baselines on the association between serum EV-derived ARG 1 levels and T2DM. Serum EV-derived ARG 1 levels were significantly higher in T2DM patients compared with non-T2DM patients (p < 0.001). Correlation analysis revealed that serum EV-derived ARG 1 levels were positively associated with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (r = 0.316, p = 0.001) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (r = 0.322, p = 0.001). Serum EV-derived ARG 1 levels were significantly associated with T2DM, especially in the subgroup of T2DM for more than 10 years (OR 1.651, 95% CI = 1.066-2.557; P value, 0.025), after adjusting for confounding factors. Elevated concentration of serum EV-derived ARG 1 is closely associated with T2DM. © 2022. The Author(s).
