Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but the effects of circulating factors on cardiac function is not fully elucidated. Present study aims to explore the pathophysiological role of microRNA (miR)-194, one of hepatic enriched miRs, in the process of obesity-related cardiomyopathy in human subjects and mice. The expression level of circulating exosomal miR-194 was measured in 39 lean and 35 obese human subjects, and correlated with cardiac parameters. The effects of miR-194 on mitochondrial activity and cardiac function were investigated by administration of miR-194 sponge in mouse cardiomyocytes and obesity-related cardiomyopathy. The upregulation of circulating miR-194 level was closely correlated with impaired human cardiac function, including ejection fraction (r = -0.5002, p < 0.01) and NT-proBNP levels (r = 03670, p < 0.01). Exosomes from obese mice impaired myocyte mitochondria] activity, but blocking with miR-194 sponge attenuated the exosomal miR-194-induced reduction of ATP production (p < 0.05), basal oxygen consumption (p < 0.01) and mitochondrial complex I activity (p
