diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic diseases worldwide characterized by insulin resistance and pancreatic β cell dysfunction. miRNA plays an important role in DM. In previous studies, miRNA-92a could function as targets for innovative precision medicines to reduce T1D islet autoimmunity. However, the relationship between miRNA-92a and pancreatic β cell dysfunction remains unknown. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of miRNA-92a in pancreatic β cell dysfunction.
Apoptosis, proliferation, insulin secretion and cell survival rate were detected to evaluate the function of miRNA-92a.
we found that miRNA-92a could inhibit apoptosis induced by high-glucose environment and increase the insulin secretion and proliferation. Moreover, we identify the KLF2 as direct target of miRNA-92a, suggesting that miRNA-92a may function through regulating KLF2.
Altogether, we verified the function and mechanism of miRNA-92a and provide evidence that miRNA-92a may serve a potential candidate for the clinical treatment for DM.
糖尿病是一种全球范围内最常见的代谢疾病,其特征为胰岛素抵抗和胰腺β细胞功能障碍。miRNA 在糖尿病中发挥重要作用。在之前的研究中,miRNA-92a 可以作为创新精准药物的靶点,以减少 1 型糖尿病胰岛自身免疫。然而,miRNA-92a 与胰腺β细胞功能障碍之间的关系尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨 miRNA-92a 在胰腺β细胞功能障碍中的作用。
通过检测细胞凋亡、增殖、胰岛素分泌和细胞存活率来评估 miRNA-92a 的功能。
我们发现 miRNA-92a 可抑制高糖环境诱导的细胞凋亡,并增加胰岛素分泌和增殖。此外,我们确定 KLF2 是 miRNA-92a 的直接靶标,表明 miRNA-92a 可能通过调节 KLF2 发挥作用。
总之,我们验证了 miRNA-92a 的功能和机制,并提供了证据表明 miRNA-92a 可能成为治疗糖尿病的潜在候选药物。
