Emerging evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical role in the pathogenesis of several disorders. In the present minireview, we focus our attention on the functional role of a specific miRNA, namely miR-34a, in the pathophysiology of frailty and diabetes mellitus. Based on the current literature, we speculate that this miRNA may serve as a potential biomarker of frailty in diabetic older adults. Additionally, its actions on oxidative stress might represent a druggable target to obtain new potentials treatments.
新出现的证据表明,微小RNA(miRNA)在多种疾病的发病机制中起关键作用。在本微型综述中,我们将注意力集中在一种特定的miRNA,即miR-34a,在衰弱和糖尿病病理生理学中的功能作用上。基于当前的文献,我们推测这种miRNA可能作为糖尿病老年人衰弱的潜在生物标志物。此外,其对氧化应激的作用可能代表一个可药物靶向的目标,以获得新的潜在治疗方法。
