P53/PANK1/miR-107 signalling pathway spans the gap between metabolic reprogramming and insulin resistance induced by high-fat diet

CircRNA Arf3 suppresses glomerular mesangial cell proliferation and fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy via miR-107-3p/Tmbim6 axis

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of microvascular complication associated with diabetes. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been shown to be involved in DN pathogenesis. Hence, this work aimed to explore the role and mechanism of circ_Arf3 in DN. Mouse mesangial cells (MCs) cultured in high glucose (HG) condition were used for functional analysis. Cell proliferation was determined using 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) and cell counting kit-8 assays. Western blotting was used to measure the levels of proliferation indicator PCNA and fibrosis-related proteins α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen I (Col I), fibronectin (FN), and collagen IV (Col IV). The binding interaction between miR-107-3p and circ_Arf3 or Tmbim6 (transmembrane BAX inhibitor motif containing 6) was confirmed using dual-luciferase reporter and pull-down assays. Circ_Arf3 is a stable circRNA, and the expression of circ_Arf3 was decreased after HG treatment in MCs. Functionally, ectopic overexpression of circ_Arf3 protected against HG-induced proliferation and elevation of fibrosis-related proteins in MCs. Mechanistically, circ_Arf3 directly bound to miR-107-3p, and Tmbim6 was a target of miR-107-3p. Further rescue assay showed miR-107-3p reversed the protective action of circ_Arf3 on MCs function under HG condition. Moreover, inhibition of miR-107-3p suppressed HG-induced proliferation and fibrosis, which were attenuated by Tmbim6 knockdown in MCs. CircRNA Arf3 could suppress HG-evoked mesangial cell proliferation and fibrosis via miR-107-3p/Tmbim6 axis, indicating the potential involvement of this axis in DN progression.

Coenzyme A biosynthesis: mechanisms of regulation, function and disease

The tricarboxylic acid cycle, nutrient oxidation, histone acetylation and synthesis of lipids, glycans and haem all require the cofactor coenzyme A (CoA). Although the sources and regulation of the acyl groups carried by CoA for these processes are heavily studied, a key underlying question is less often considered: how is production of CoA itself controlled? Here, we discuss the many cellular roles of CoA and the regulatory mechanisms that govern its biosynthesis from cysteine, ATP and the essential nutrient pantothenate (vitamin B5), or from salvaged precursors in mammals. Metabolite feedback and signalling mechanisms involving acetyl-CoA, other acyl-CoAs, acyl-carnitines, MYC, p53, PPARα, PINK1 and insulin- and growth factor-stimulated PI3K-AKT signalling regulate the vitamin B5 transporter SLC5A6/SMVT and CoA biosynthesis enzymes PANK1, PANK2, PANK3, PANK4 and COASY. We also discuss methods for measuring CoA-related metabolites, compounds that target CoA biosynthesis and diseases caused by mutations in pathway enzymes including types of cataracts, cardiomyopathy and neurodegeneration (PKAN and COPAN).

Dietary fat supplementation relieves cold temperature-induced energy stress through AMPK-mediated mitochondrial homeostasis in pigs

BACKGROUND

Cold stress has negative effects on the growth and health of mammals, and has become a factor restricting livestock development at high latitudes and on plateaus. The gut-liver axis is central to energy metabolism, and the mechanisms by which it regulates host energy metabolism at cold temperatures have rarely been illustrated. In this study, we evaluated the status of glycolipid metabolism and oxidative stress in pigs based on the gut-liver axis and propose that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key target for alleviating energy stress at cold temperatures by dietary fat supplementation.

RESULTS

Dietary fat supplementation alleviated the negative effects of cold temperatures on growth performance and digestive enzymes, while hormonal homeostasis was also restored. Moreover, cold temperature exposure increased glucose transport in the jejunum. In contrast, we observed abnormalities in lipid metabolism, which was characterized by the accumulation of bile acids in the ileum and plasma. In addition, the results of the ileal metabolomic analysis were consistent with the energy metabolism measurements in the jejunum, and dietary fat supplementation increased the activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and lipid metabolism. As the central nexus of energy metabolism, the state of glycolipid metabolism and oxidative stress in the liver are inconsistent with that in the small intestine. Specifically, we found that cold temperature exposure increased glucose transport in the liver, which fully validates the idea that hormones can act on the liver to regulate glucose output. Additionally, dietary fat supplementation inhibited glucose transport and glycolysis, but increased gluconeogenesis, bile acid cycling, and lipid metabolism. Sustained activation of AMPK, which an energy receptor and regulator, leads to oxidative stress and apoptosis in the liver; dietary fat supplementation alleviates energy stress by reducing AMPK phosphorylation.

CONCLUSIONS

Cold stress reduced the growth performance and aggravated glycolipid metabolism disorders and oxidative stress damage in pigs. Dietary fat supplementation improved growth performance and alleviated cold temperature-induced energy stress through AMPK-mediated mitochondrial homeostasis. In this study, we highlight the importance of AMPK in dietary fat supplementation-mediated alleviation of host energy stress in response to environmental changes.

Multi-omics analysis reveals the potential pathogenesis and therapeutic targets of diabetic kidney disease

Clinicians have long been interested in understanding the molecular basis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD)and its potential treatment targets. Its pathophysiology involves protein phosphorylation, one of the most recognizable post-transcriptional modifications, that can take part in many cellular functions and control different metabolic processes. In order to recognize the molecular and protein changes of DKD kidney, this study applied Tandem liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and Next-Generation Sequencing, along with Tandem Mass Tags (TMT) labeling techniques to evaluate the mRNA, protein and modified phosphorylation sites between DKD mice and model ones. Based on Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analyses of transcriptome and proteome, The molecular changes of DKD include accumulation of extracellular matrix, abnormally activated inflammatory microenvironment, oxidative stress and lipid metabolism disorders, leading to glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Oxidative stress has been emphasized as an important factor in DKD and progression to ESKD, which is directly related to podocyte injury, albuminuria and renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis. A histological study of phosphorylation further revealed that kinases were crucial. Three groups of studies have found that RAS signaling pathway, RAP1 signaling pathway, AMPK signaling pathway, PPAR signaling pathway and HIF-1 signaling pathway were crucial for the pathogenesis of DKD. Through this approach, it was discovered that targeting specific molecules, proteins, kinases and critical pathways could be a promising approach for treating DKD.

Recent progress in metabolic reprogramming in gestational diabetes mellitus: a review

Gestational diabetes mellitus is a prevalent metabolic disease that can impact the normal course of pregnancy and delivery, leading to adverse outcomes for both mother and child. Its pathogenesis is complex and involves various factors, such as insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. Metabolic reprogramming, which involves mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis, is crucial for maintaining human metabolic balance and is involved in the pathogenesis and progression of gestational diabetes mellitus. However, research on the link and metabolic pathways between metabolic reprogramming and gestational diabetes mellitus is limited. Therefore, we reviewed the relationship between metabolic reprogramming and gestational diabetes mellitus to provide new therapeutic strategies for maternal health during pregnancy and reduce the risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus.

Expression and Prognostic Role of PANK1 in Glioma

BACKGROUND

Malignant gliomas are the most common type of primary malignant brain tumors. Pantothenate kinase 1 (PANK1) mRNA is highly expressed in several metabolic processes, implying that PANK1 plays a potential role in metabolic programming in cancers. However, the role of PANK1 in glioma has not been fully explored.

METHODS

Public datasets (The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA), Gravendeel and Rembrandt) and validation cohort were used to explore the expression of PANK1 in glioma tissues. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were used to explore the relationship between PANK1 and prognosis in glioma. Cell proliferation and invasion were determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) and transwell invasion in vitro assays.

RESULTS

Analysis using the four public datasets and the validation cohort showed that PANK1 expression was significantly downregulated in glioma tissues compared with non-tumor tissues (P<0.01). PANK1 expression was negatively correlated with World Health Organization (WHO) grade, 1p/19q non-codeletion and isocitric dehydrogenase 1/2 (IDH1/2) wildtype. Furthermore, high expression of PANK1 was correlated with significantly better prognosis of glioma patients compared to patients with low expression of PANK1 (all P<0.01 in the four datasets). Besides, both lower-grade glioma (LGG) and glioblastoma multiform (GBM) patients with high expression of PANK1 had a significantly better prognosis than those with low expression of PANK1 in TCGA, Gravendeel and Rembrandt datasets (all P <0.01). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that low PANK1 expression was an independent risk factor associated with a worse prognosis of glioma patients. Moreover, overexpression of PANK1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and invasion of U87 and U251 cells.

CONCLUSION

PANK1 expression is downregulated in glioma tissues and is a novel prognostic biomarker in glioma patients.

miR-147b is an oncomiR acting synergistically with HIPK2 to promote pancreatic carcinogenesis

MicroRNAs (miRs, miRNAs) are known players in the regulatory network of pancreatic tumorigenesis, but the downstream effectors remain poorly characterized. This study addressed this issue based on in silico prediction, in vitro experiments, and in vivo validation. The differentially expressed PCa-related miRNAs and bioinformatics tools predicted downstream regulators. The expression of miR-147b was examined in PCa cell lines. Putative targets of miR-147b were predicted by a publicly available database and confirmed by luciferase activity assay. Mimic/inhibitor, siRNA/overexpression plasmid, or pifithrin-α (p53 inhibitor) were delivered into PCa cells to assess the effect of miR-147b, HIPK2, and p53 on malignant phenotypes of PCa cells. AntagomiR-147b and shRNA targeting HIPK2 were introduced to xenograft-bearing nude mice for in vivo experiments. The expression of miR-147b was significantly increased in PCa cell lines. Ectopic expression of miR-147b promoted the malignant phenotypes of PCa cells and inhibited their apoptosis. HIPK2 was confirmed as a target gene of miR-147b. Inhibiting miR-147b could promote HIPK2 expression and potentially activate the p53 pathway, inhibiting PCa cell growth. In vivo experiments suggested that miR-147b inhibition suppressed the growth of xenograft tumors in nude mice, while HIPK2 knockdown counteracted its effect. Collectively, our work reveals a novel miR-147b-mediated carcinogenic regulatory network in PCa that may be a viable target for PCa treatment.

Biomarkers of obesity-mediated insulin resistance: focus on microRNAs

Obesity and metabolic syndromes are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. Insulin resistance (IR) is a common complication of obesity. However, IR occurrence varies across individuals with obesity and may involve epigenetic factors. To rationalize the allocation of healthcare resources, biomarkers for the early risk stratification of individuals with obesity should be identified. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are closely associated with metabolic diseases and involved in epigenetic regulation. In this review, we have summarized the changes in miRNA expression in the peripheral circulation and tissues of patients and animals with obesity-associated IR over the last 5 years and identified several candidate biomarkers that predict obesity-related IR. There are areas for improvement in existing studies. First, more than the predictive validity of a single biomarker is required, and a biomarker panel needs to be formed. Second, miRNAs are often studied in isolation and do not form a network of signaling pathways. We believe that early biomarkers can help clinicians accurately predict individuals prone to obesity-related IR at an early stage. Epigenetic regulation may be one of the underlying causes of different clinical outcomes in individuals with obesity. Future studies should focus on objectively reflecting the differences in miRNA profile expression in individuals with obesity-related IR, which may help identify more reliable biomarkers. Understanding the metabolic pathways of these miRNAs can help design new metabolic risk prevention and management strategies, and support the development of drugs to treat obesity and metabolic disorders.

FAM3D inhibits gluconeogenesis in high glucose environment via DUSP1/ZFP36/SIK1 axis

Hyperglycemia is the most important factor leading to the complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The primary condition for the treatment of T2DM is to change the glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in the liver and other insulin-sensitive tissues. The current study aims to unearth the potential molecular mechanism of inhibiting liver gluconeogenesis to provide a new theoretical basis for the treatment of T2DM. High glucose (HG) induction of HepG2 cells followed by treatment with sequence-similar family 3 member D (FAM3D). Dual specificity phosphatases 1 (DUSP1), zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36), salt-induced kinase 1 (SIK1), p-SIK1, posphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) gene and protein expression level were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot. The PEPCK and G6Pase activities were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Glucose production assay to determine glucose content. The RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation assay was used to detect the binding of ZFP36 to SIK1. FAM3D facilitated the expression of DUSP1 but suppressed the expression of gluconeogenesis-related factors in an HG environment. The expression of ZFP36 was up-regulated in an HG environment. ZFP36 could reverse the inhibition of gluconeogenesis caused by FAM3D. HG-induced upregulation of ZFP36 was downregulated by overexpression of DUSP1. ZFP36 bound to SIK1, and downregulation of ZFP36 promoted SIK1 expression and inhibits gluconeogenesis. Our study demonstrated FAM3D inhibited gluconeogenesis through the DUSP1/ZFP36/SIK1 axis in an HG environment, which provided a new theoretical basis for exploring the pathogenesis and treatment strategy of T2DM.

p53 Promotes Ferroptosis in Macrophages Treated with Fe3O4 Nanoparticles

Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles are the most widely used magnetic nanoparticles in the biomedicine field. The biodistribution of most nanoparticles in vivo is determined by the capture of macrophages; however, the effects of nanoparticles on macrophages remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles could reduce macrophage viability after 48 h of treatment and induce a shift in macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype; RNA sequencing revealed the activation of the ferroptosis pathway and p53 upregulation compared to the control group. The expression in p53, xCT, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and transferrin receptor (TFR) in macrophages was similar to that in erastin-induced ferroptosis in macrophages, and the ultrastructural morphology of mitochondria was consistent with that of erastin-treated cells. We used DCFH-DA to estimate the intracellular reactive oxygen species content in Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles treated with Ana-1 and JC-1 fluorescent probes to detect the mitochondrial membrane potential change; both showed to be time-dependent. Fer-1 inhibited the reduction of the glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio and inhibited intracellular oxidative stress states; therefore, Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles induced ferroptosis in macrophages. Finally, we used pifithrin-α hydrobromide (PFT) as a p53 inhibitor to verify whether the high expression of p53 is involved in mediating this process. After PFT treatment, the live/dead cell rate, TFR, p53 expression, and GPX4 consumption were inhibited and mitigated the GSH/GSSG ratio reduction as well. This indicates that p53 may contribute to Fe₃O₄ nanoparticle-induced ferroptosis of macrophages. We provide a theoretical basis for the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis in macrophages and the biotoxicity in vivo induced by Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles.

Genome-wide microRNA profiles identify miR-107 as a top miRNA associating with expression of the CYP3As and other drug metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) drug metabolizing enzymes are responsible for the metabolism of over 70% of currently used medications with the CYP3A family being the most important CYP enzymes in the liver. Large inter-person variability in expression/activity of the CYP3As greatly affects drug exposure and treatment outcomes, yet the cause of such variability remains elusive. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression and are involved in diverse cellular processes including metabolism of xenobiotics and therapeutic outcomes. Target prediction and in vitro functional assays have linked several miRNAs to the control of CYP3A4 expression. Yet, their co-expression with CYP3As in the liver remain unclear. In this study, we used genome-wide miRNA profiling in liver samples to identify miRNAs associated with the expression of the CYP3As. We identified and validated both miR-107 and miR-1260 as strongly associated with the expression of CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A43. Moreover, we found associations between miR-107 and nine transcription factors (TFs) that regulate CYP3A expression, with estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) having the largest effect size. Including ESR1 and the other TFs in the regression model either diminished or abolished the associations between miR-107 and the CYP3As, indicating that the role of miR-107 in CYP3A expression may be indirect and occur through these key TFs. Indeed, testing the other nine CYPs previously shown to be regulated by ESR1 identified similar miR-107 associations that were dependent on the exclusion of ESR1 and other key TFs in the regression model. In addition, we found significant differences in miRNA expression profiles in liver samples between race and sex. Together, our results identify miR-107 as a potential epigenetic regulator that is strongly associated with the expression of many CYPs, likely via impacting the CYP regulatory network controlled by ESR1 and other key TFs. Therefore, both genetic and epigenetic factors that alter the expression of miR-107 may have a broad influence on drug metabolism.

Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of asthma exacerbations

BACKGROUND

Asthma exacerbations are a serious public health concern due to high healthcare resource utilization, work/school productivity loss, impact on quality of life, and risk of mortality. The genetic basis of asthma exacerbations has been studied in several populations, but no prior study has performed a multi-ancestry meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (meta-GWAS) for this trait. We aimed to identify common genetic loci associated with asthma exacerbations across diverse populations and to assess their functional role in regulating DNA methylation and gene expression.

METHODS

A meta-GWAS of asthma exacerbations in 4989 Europeans, 2181 Hispanics/Latinos, 1250 Singaporean Chinese, and 972 African Americans analyzed 9.6 million genetic variants. Suggestively associated variants (p ≤ 5 × 10-5 ) were assessed for replication in 36,477 European and 1078 non-European asthma patients. Functional effects on DNA methylation were assessed in 595 Hispanic/Latino and African American asthma patients and in publicly available databases. The effect on gene expression was evaluated in silico.

RESULTS

One hundred and twenty-six independent variants were suggestively associated with asthma exacerbations in the discovery phase. Two variants independently replicated: rs12091010 located at vascular cell adhesion molecule-1/exostosin like glycosyltransferase-2 (VCAM1/EXTL2) (discovery: odds ratio (ORT allele ) = 0.82, p = 9.05 × 10-6 and replication: ORT allele  = 0.89, p = 5.35 × 10-3 ) and rs943126 from pantothenate kinase 1 (PANK1) (discovery: ORC allele  = 0.85, p = 3.10 × 10-5 and replication: ORC allele  = 0.89, p = 1.30 × 10-2 ). Both variants regulate gene expression of genes where they locate and DNA methylation levels of nearby genes in whole blood.

CONCLUSIONS

This multi-ancestry study revealed novel suggestive regulatory loci for asthma exacerbations located in genomic regions participating in inflammation and host defense.

Effects of Dietary Supplementation with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bacillus subtilis on Mucosal Immunity and Intestinal Barrier Are Associated with Its Modulation of Gut Metabolites and Microbiota in Late-Phase Laying Hens

We investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bacillus subtilis on the intestinal immune response, intestinal barrier function, cecal microbiota profile, and metabolite profile in late-phase laying hens. Hens were divided into three groups and fed with the basal diet (NC group), basal diet supplementation with 250 mg/kg B. subtilis and L. acidophilus mixture powder (LD group), and basal diet supplementation with 500 mg/kg B. subtilis and L. acidophilus mixture powder (HD group), respectively. The results indicated that the dietary supplementation with L. acidophilus and B. subtilis increased the integrity of the intestinal barrier as evidenced by the significant increase in the number of ileal goblet cells and improve the expression of occludin, claudin-1, and ZO-1 genes in the HD group. Moreover, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ were significantly decreased in the LD and HD groups. The levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) increased in the LD and HD group, and the levels of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) increased with the HD treatment. Furthermore, 16 s rRNA sequencing revealed L. acidophilus in combination with B. subtilis increased the diversity of gut microbiota. The metabolomic analysis revealed beneficial changes in the amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism (decrease in LysoPC and LysoPE levels). In conclusion, dietary supplementation with L. acidophilus and B. subtilis could improve intestinal barrier function and maintain immune homeostasis. These beneficial effects may be associated with the modulation of the intestinal microbiome and metabolites.

Metabolic reprogramming in cervical cancer and metabolomics perspectives

Cumulative studies have shown that metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of malignant tumors. The emergence of technological advances, such as omics studies, has strongly contributed to the knowledge of cancer metabolism. Cervical cancer is among the most common cancers in women worldwide. Because cervical cancer is a virus-associated cancer and can exist in a precancerous state for years, investigations targeting the metabolic phenotypes of cervical cancer will enhance our understanding of the interference of viruses on host cells and the progression of cervical carcinogenesis. The purpose of this review was to illustrate metabolic perturbations in cervical cancer, the role that human papillomavirus (HPV) plays in remodeling cervical cell metabolism and recent approaches toward application of metabolomics in cervical disease research. Cervical cancer displays typical cancer metabolic profiles, including glycolytic switching, high lactate levels, lipid accumulation and abnormal kynurenine/tryptophan levels. HPV, at least in part, contributes to these alterations. Furthermore, emerging metabolomics data provide global information on the metabolic traits of cervical diseases and may aid in the discovery of biomarkers for diagnosis and therapy.

miR-15/107 microRNA Gene Group: Characteristics and Functional Implications in Cancer

The miR-15/107 group of microRNAs (miRNAs) encloses 10 annotated human members and is defined based on the presence of the sequence AGCAGC near the mature miRNAs’ 5′ end. Members of the miR-15/107 group expressed in humans are highly evolutionarily conserved, and seven of these miRNAs are widespread in vertebrate species. Contrary to the majority of miRNAs, which recognize complementary sequences on the 3′UTR region, some members of the miR-15/107 group are peculiarly characterized by the ability to target the coding sequence (CDS) of their target mRNAs, inhibiting translation without strongly affecting their mRNA levels. There is compelling evidence that different members of the miR-15/107 group regulate overlapping lists of mRNA targets but also show target specificity. The ubiquitously expressed miR-15/107 gene group controls several human cellular pathways, such as proliferation, angiogenesis, and lipid metabolism, and might be altered in various diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Intriguingly, despite sharing the same seed sequence, different members of this family of miRNAs may behave as oncomiRs or as tumor suppressor miRNAs in the context of cancer cells. This review discusses the regulation and functional contribution of the miR-15/107 group to the control of gene expression. Moreover, we particularly focus on the contribution of specific miR-15/107 group members as tumor suppressors in breast cancer, reviewing literature reporting their ability to function as major controllers of a variety of cell pathways and to act as powerful biomarkers in this disease.

P53/PANK1/miR-107 signalling pathway spans the gap between metabolic reprogramming and insulin resistance induced by high-fat diet

High-fat diet (HFD) leads to obesity, type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and increases the coincidence of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Insulin resistance (IR) is considered as the 'common soil' of those diseases. Furthermore, people on HFD showed restrained glycolysis and enhanced fatty acid oxidation, which is the so-called metabolic reprogramming. However, the relationship between metabolic reprogramming and IR induced by HFD is still unclear. Here, we demonstrate that PANK1 and miR-107 were up-regulated in the liver tissue of mice on HFD for 16 weeks and involved in metabolic reprogramming induced by palmitate acid (PA) incubation. Importantly, miR-107 within an intron of PANK1 gene facilitated IR by targeting caveolin-1 in AML12 cells upon PA incubation. Moreover, we identify that HFD enhanced P53 expression, and activation of P53 with nutlin-3a induced PANK1 and miR-107 expression simultaneously in transcriptional level, leading to metabolic reprogramming and IR, respectively. Consistently, inhibition of P53 with pifithrin-α hydrobromide ameliorated PA-induced metabolic reprogramming and IR. Thus, our results revealing a new mechanism by which P53 regulate metabolism. In addition, the results distinguished the different roles of PANK1 and its intron miR-107 in metabolic regulation, which will provide more accurate intervention targets for the treatment of metabolic diseases.
