MicroRNA 29 modulates β-cell mitochondrial metabolism and insulin secretion via underlying miR-29-OXPHOS complex pathways. Acta Physiol (Oxf) 2024; 240:e14180. [PMID: 38801063 DOI: 10.1111/apha.14180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
AIM MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate β-cell function, and β-cell mitochondria and insulin secretion are perturbed in diabetes. We aimed to identify key miRNAs regulating β-cell mitochondrial metabolism and novel β-cell miRNA-mitochondrial pathways. METHODS TargetScan (http://www.targetscan.org/) was used to predict if 16 miRNAs implicated in β-cell function target 27 cis-eGenes implicated in mitochondrial activity. The expression of candidate miRNAs and insulin secretion after 24 and 1 h pre-incubation in 2.8, 11.1- and 16.7-mM glucose was measured in clonal INS-1 832/13 β-cells. MiR-29 silenced INS-1 832/13 cells were assessed for insulin secretion (glucose, pyruvate, and K+), target cis-eGene expression (Ndufv3 and Ndufa10 components of mitochondrial complex I (CI)), OXPHOS (CI-V) protein expression, and mitochondrial OXPHOS respiration/activity. The expression of differentially expressed miR-29 miRNAs was evaluated in Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat, db/db mouse and type 2 diabetic (T2D) human islets, as well as NMRI mouse islets cultured under glucolipotoxic conditions. RESULTS MiR-29, miR-15 and miR-124 were predicted to regulate ~20 cis-eGenes, while miR-29 alone was predicted to regulate ≥12 of these in rat and human species. MiR-29 expression and insulin secretion were reduced in INS-1 832/13 cells after 24 h in elevated glucose. MiR-29 knockdown increased all tested insulin secretory responses, Nudfv3, Ndufa10, complex I and II expression, and cellular mitochondrial OXPHOS. MiR-29 expression was reduced in db/db islets but increased in GK rat and T2D human islets. CONCLUSION We conclude miR-29 is a key miRNA in regulating β-cell mitochondrial metabolism and insulin secretion via underlying miR-29-OXPHOS complex pathways. Furthermore, we infer reduced miR-29 expression compensatorily enhances insulin secretion under glucotoxicity.

J Cyst Fibros 2024:S1569-1993(24)00082-1. [PMID: 38897882 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcf.2024.06.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
CF-related diabetes (CFRD) is a prevalent comorbidity in people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), significantly impacting morbidity and mortality rates. This review article critically evaluates the current understanding of CFRD molecular mechanisms, including the role of CFTR protein, oxidative stress, unfolded protein response (UPR) and intracellular communication. CFRD manifests from a complex interplay between exocrine pancreatic damage and intrinsic endocrine dysfunction, further complicated by the deleterious effects of misfolded CFTR protein on insulin secretion and action. Studies indicate that ER stress and subsequent UPR activation play critical roles in both exocrine and endocrine pancreatic cell dysfunction, contributing to β-cell loss and insulin insufficiency. Additionally, oxidative stress and altered calcium flux, exacerbated by CFTR dysfunction, impair β-cell survival and function, highlighting the significance of antioxidant pathways in CFRD pathogenesis. Emerging evidence underscores the importance of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) in mediating inflammatory and stress responses, offering novel insights into CFRD's molecular landscape. Despite insulin therapy remaining the cornerstone of CFRD management, the variability in response to CFTR modulators underscores the need for personalized treatment approaches. The review advocates for further research into non-CFTR therapeutic targets, emphasizing the need to address the multifaceted pathophysiology of CFRD. Understanding the intricate mechanisms underlying CFRD will pave the way for innovative treatments, moving beyond insulin therapy to target the disease's root causes and improve the quality of life for individuals with CF.

Peptides 2024; 176:171196. [PMID: 38492669 DOI: 10.1016/j.peptides.2024.171196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with dysregulation of glucoregulatory hormones, including both islet and enteroendocrine peptides. Microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNA sequences which post transcriptionally inhibit protein synthesis by binding to complementary messenger RNA (mRNA). Essential for normal cell activities, including proliferation and apoptosis, dysregulation of these noncoding RNA molecules have been linked to several diseases, including diabetes, where alterations in miRNA expression within pancreatic islets have been observed. This may occur as a compensatory mechanism to maintain beta-cell mass/function (e.g., downregulation of miR-7), or conversely, lead to further beta-cell demise and disease progression (e.g., upregulation of miR-187). Thus, targeting miRNAs has potential for novel diagnostic and therapeutic applications in T2D. This is reinforced by the success seen to date with miRNA-based therapeutics for other conditions currently in clinical trials. In this review, differential expression of miRNAs in human islets associated with T2D will be discussed along with further consideration of their effects on the production and secretion of islet and incretin hormones. This analysis further unravels the therapeutic potential of miRNAs and offers insights into novel strategies for T2D management.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that patients with diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes (T2D), are characterized by an increased risk of developing different types of cancer, so cancer could be proposed as a new T2D-related complication. On the other hand, cancer may also increase the risk of developing new-onset diabetes, mainly caused by anticancer therapies. Hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and chronic inflammation typical of T2D could represent possible mechanisms involved in cancer development in diabetic patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a subset of non-coding RNAs, ⁓22 nucleotides in length, which control the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression through both translational repression and messenger RNA degradation. Of note, miRNAs have multiple target genes and alteration of their expression has been reported in multiple diseases, including T2D and cancer. Accordingly, specific miRNA-regulated pathways are involved in the pathogenesis of both conditions. In this review, a panel of experts from the Italian Association of Medical Oncology (AIOM), Italian Association of Medical Diabetologists (AMD), Italian Society of Diabetology (SID), Italian Society of Endocrinology (SIE), and Italian Society of Pharmacology (SIF) provide a critical view of the evidence about the involvement of miRNAs in the pathophysiology of both T2D and cancer, trying to identify the shared miRNA signature and pathways able to explain the strong correlation between the two conditions, as well as to envision new common pharmacological approaches.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a worldwide disease with rapidly increasing prevalence. This complex disorder caused by interplay between genetic predisposition factors, early developmental elements, diet and inactive lifestyle. Several researches have shown impact of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathogenesis of this disorder. Several miRNAs such as miR-126, miR-222-3p, miR-182, let-7b-5p, and miR-1-3p have been down-regulated in different biological sources of patients with T2DM. Some other miRNAs including miR-21, miR-30d, miR-148a-3p, miR-146b and miR-486 have the opposite trends. In addition, a number of lncRNAs such as LY86-AS, HCG27_201, VIM-AS1, CTBP1-AS2, CASC2, GAS5, LINC-PINT, and MALAT1 have been altered in the peripheral blood, serum samples or tissues obtained from patients with T2DM. Taken together, both miRNAs and lncRNAs contribute to the development of T2DM and might be applied as markers or therapeutic molecules for this disorder.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a polygenic disease and studies to understand the etiology of the disease have required selectively bred animal models with polygenic background. In this review, we present two models; the Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat and the Oikawa-Nagao Diabetes-Prone (ON-DP) and Diabetes-Resistant (ON-DR) mouse. The GK rat was developed by continuous selective breeding for glucose tolerance from the outbred Wistar rat around 50 years ago. The main cause of spontaneous hyperglycemia in this model is insulin secretion deficiency from pancreatic β-cells and mild insulin resistance in insulin target organs. A disadvantage of the GK rat is that environmental factors have not been considered in the selective breeding. Hence, the GK rat may not be suitable for elucidating predisposition to diabetes under certain environmental conditions, such as a high-fat diet. Therefore, we recently established two mouse lines with different susceptibilities to diet-induced diabetes, which are prone and resistant to the development of diabetes, designated as the ON-DP and ON-DR mouse, respectively. The two ON mouse lines were established by continuous selective breeding for inferior and superior glucose tolerance after high-fat diet feeding in hybrid mice of three inbred strains. Studies of phenotypic differences between ON-DP and ON-DR mice and their underlying molecular mechanisms will shed light on predisposing factors for the development of T2D in the modern obesogenic environment. This review summarizes the background and the phenotypic differences and similarities of GK rats and ON mice and highlights the advantages of using selectively bred rodent models in diabetes research.

Abstract
Pancreatic β-cells within the islets of Langerhans respond to rising blood glucose levels by secreting insulin that stimulates glucose uptake by peripheral tissues to maintain whole body energy homeostasis. To different extents, failure of β-cell function and/or β-cell loss contribute to the development of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Chronically elevated glycaemia and high circulating free fatty acids, as often seen in obese diabetics, accelerate β-cell failure and the development of the disease. MiRNAs are essential for endocrine development and for mature pancreatic β-cell function and are dysregulated in diabetes. In this review, we summarize the different molecular mechanisms that control miRNA expression and function, including transcription, stability, posttranscriptional modifications, and interaction with RNA binding proteins and other non-coding RNAs. We also discuss which of these mechanisms are responsible for the nutrient-mediated regulation of the activity of β-cell miRNAs and identify some of the more important knowledge gaps in the field.

Abstract
Globally, type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the most common chronic disease. It affects approximately 500 million people worldwide. Dysregulation of the solute carrier family 2 member 4 (SLC2A4) gene and miR-335-5p has been associated with T2D progression. However, the mechanisms underlying this dysregulation are unclear. The levels of miR-335-5p and SLC2A4 in blood samples collected from patients with T2D (T2D blood samples) and pancreatic cell lines were measured by Real Time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). The relationship between miR-335-5p and SLC2A4 was investigated using a luciferase assay. The role of the miR-335-5p-SLC2A4 axis was detected by CCK8, BrdU, and caspase-3 assays in pancreatic cells treated with 25 mM glucose. Increased miR-335-5p and decreased SLC2A4 expression was observed in both T2D blood samples and pancreatic cell lines. The miR-335-5p mimic markedly suppressed proliferation and elevated apoptosis in glucose-treated pancreatic cells. SLC2A4 overexpression significantly enhanced proliferation but inhibited apoptosis in glucose-treated pancreatic cells. Moreover, miR-335-5p inhibited the expression of SLC2A4 in the pancreatic cells and suppressed the growth of these cells. The data indicated that miR-335-5p targeting of SLC2A4 could hamper the growth of T2D cell model by inhibiting their proliferation and elevating apoptosis. Collectively, our findings implicate miR-335-5p and SLC2A4 as potentially effective therapeutic targets for patients with T2D.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects 1% of the population over the age of 60. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that affects approximately 25% of adults over the age of 60. Recent studies showed that DM increases the risk of developing PD. The link between DM and PD has been discussed in the literature in relation to different mechanisms including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and protein aggregation. In this paper, we review the common microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers of both diseases. miRNAs play an important role in cell differentiation, development, the regulation of the cell cycle, and apoptosis. They are also involved in the pathology of many diseases. miRNAs can mediate the insulin pathway and glucose absorption. miRNAs can also regulate PD-related genes. Therefore, exploring the common miRNA biomarkers of both PD and DM can shed a light on how these two diseases are correlated, and targeting miRNAs is a potential therapeutic opportunity for both diseases.

Abstract
The discovery that most mammalian genome sequences are transcribed to ribonucleic acids (RNA) has revolutionized our understanding of the mechanisms governing key cellular processes and of the causes of human diseases, including diabetes mellitus. Pancreatic islet cells were found to contain thousands of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), including micro-RNAs (miRNAs), PIWI-associated RNAs, small nucleolar RNAs, tRNA-derived fragments, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs. While the involvement of miRNAs in islet function and in the etiology of diabetes is now well documented, there is emerging evidence indicating that other classes of ncRNAs are also participating in different aspects of islet physiology. The aim of this article will be to provide a comprehensive and updated view of the studies carried out in human samples and rodent models over the past 15 years on the role of ncRNAs in the control of α- and β-cell development and function and to highlight the recent discoveries in the field. We not only describe the role of ncRNAs in the control of insulin and glucagon secretion but also address the contribution of these regulatory molecules in the proliferation and survival of islet cells under physiological and pathological conditions. It is now well established that most cells release part of their ncRNAs inside small extracellular vesicles, allowing the delivery of genetic material to neighboring or distantly located target cells. The role of these secreted RNAs in cell-to-cell communication between β-cells and other metabolic tissues as well as their potential use as diabetes biomarkers will be discussed. © 2020 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial and multigenetic disease, and its pathogenesis is complex and largely unknown. In the present study, microarray data (GSE201966) of β-cell enriched tissue obtained by laser capture microdissection were downloaded, including 10 control and 10 type 2 diabetic subjects. A comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of microarray data in the context of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks was employed, combined with subcellular location information to mine the potential candidate genes for T2DM and provide further insight on the possible mechanisms involved. First, differential analysis screened 108 differentially expressed genes. Then, 83 candidate genes were identified in the layered network in the context of PPI via network analysis, which were either directly or indirectly linked to T2DM. Of those genes obtained through literature retrieval analysis, 27 of 83 were involved with the development of T2DM; however, the rest of the 56 genes need to be verified by experiments. The functional analysis of candidate genes involved in a number of biological activities, demonstrated that 46 upregulated candidate genes were involved in ‘inflammatory response’ and ‘lipid metabolic process’, and 37 downregulated candidate genes were involved in ‘positive regulation of cell death’ and ‘positive regulation of cell proliferation’. These candidate genes were also involved in different signaling pathways associated with ‘PI3K/Akt signaling pathway’, ‘Rap1 signaling pathway’, ‘Ras signaling pathway’ and ‘MAPK signaling pathway’, which are highly associated with the development of T2DM. Furthermore, a microRNA (miR)-target gene regulatory network and a transcription factor-target gene regulatory network were constructed based on miRNet and NetworkAnalyst databases, respectively. Notably, hsa-miR-192-5p, hsa-miR-124-5p and hsa-miR-335-5p appeared to be involved in T2DM by potentially regulating the expression of various candidate genes, including procollagen C-endopeptidase enhancer 2, connective tissue growth factor and family with sequence similarity 105, member A, protein phosphatase 1 regulatory inhibitor subunit 1 A and C-C motif chemokine receptor 4. Smad5 and Bcl6, as transcription factors, are regulated by ankyrin repeat domain 23 and transmembrane protein 37, respectively, which might also be used in the molecular diagnosis and targeted therapy of T2DM. Taken together, the results of the present study may offer insight for future genomic-based individualized treatment of T2DM and help determine the underlying molecular mechanisms that lead to T2DM.

Potential Protection Against Type 2 Diabetes in Obesity Through Lower CD36 Expression and Improved Exocytosis in β-Cells. Diabetes 2020; 69:1193-1205.

Abstract
Obesity is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, not all obese individuals develop the disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate the cause of differential insulin secretion capacity of pancreatic islets from donors with T2D and non-T2D (ND), especially obese donors (BMI ≥30 kg/m2). Islets from obese donors with T2D had reduced insulin secretion, decreased β-cell exocytosis, and higher expression of fatty acid translocase CD36. We tested the hypothesis that CD36 is a key molecule in the reduced insulin secretion capacity. Indeed, CD36 overexpression led to decreased insulin secretion, impaired exocytosis, and reduced granule docking. This was accompanied by reduced expression of the exocytotic proteins SNAP25, STXBP1, and VAMP2, likely because CD36 induced downregulation of the insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins, suppressed the insulin-signaling phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT pathway, and increased nuclear localization of the transcription factor FoxO1. CD36 antibody treatment of the human β-cell line EndoC-βH1 increased IRS1 and exocytotic protein levels, improved granule docking, and enhanced insulin secretion. Our results demonstrate that β-cells from obese donors with T2D have dysfunctional exocytosis likely due to an abnormal lipid handling represented by differential CD36 expression. Hence, CD36 could be a key molecule to limit β-cell function in T2D associated with obesity.

Abstract
The incidence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) has risen globally. MetS includes a combination
of features, i.e. blood glucose impairment, excess abdominal/body fat dyslipidemia and elevated
blood pressure. Other than conventional treatment with drugs, the main preventive approaches include
lifestyle changes, weight loss, diet control and adequate exercise also proves to be beneficial. MicroRNAs
(miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play critical regulatory roles in most biological
and pathological processes. In the present review, we discuss various miRNAs which are related to
MetS by targeting various organs, including the pancreas, liver, skeletal muscles and adipose tissues.
These miRNAs have the effect on insulin production and secretion (miR-9, miR-124a, miR-130a,b,
miR152, miR-335, miR-375), insulin resistance (miR-29), adipogenesis (miR-143, miR148a) and lipid
metabolism (miR-192). We also discuss the miRNAs as potential biomarkers and future therapeutic
targets. This review may be beneficial for molecular biologists and clinicians dealing with MetS.

Abstract
Impaired insulin secretion from the pancreatic β-cells is central in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and microRNAs (miRNAs) are fundamental regulatory factors in this process. Differential expression of miRNAs contributes to β-cell adaptation to compensate for increased insulin resistance, but deregulation of miRNA expression can also directly cause β-cell impairment during the development of T2D. miRNAs are small noncoding RNAs that posttranscriptionally reduce gene expression through translational inhibition or mRNA destabilization. The nature of miRNA targeting implies the presence of complex and large miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks in every cell, including the insulin-secreting β-cell. Here we exemplify one such network using our own data on differential miRNA expression in the islets of T2D Goto-Kakizaki rat model. Several biological processes are influenced by multiple miRNAs in the β-cell, but so far most studies have focused on dissecting the mechanism of action of individual miRNAs. In this Perspective we present key islet miRNA families involved in T2D pathogenesis including miR-200, miR-7, miR-184, miR-212/miR-132, and miR-130a/b/miR-152. Finally, we highlight four challenges and opportunities within islet miRNA research, ending with a discussion on how miRNAs can be utilized as therapeutic targets contributing to personalized T2D treatment strategies.

Abstract
The polygenic background of selectively bred diabetes models mimics the etiology of type 2 diabetes. So far, three different rodent models (Goto-Kakizaki rats, Nagoya-Shibata-Yasuda mice, and Oikawa-Nagao mice) have been established in the diabetes research field by continuous selective breeding for glucose tolerance from outbred rodent stocks. The origin of hyperglycemia in these rodents is mainly insulin secretion deficiency from the pancreatic β-cells and mild insulin resistance in insulin target organs. In this chapter, we summarize backgrounds and phenotypes of these rodent models to highlight their importance in diabetes research. Then, we introduce experimental methodologies to evaluate β-cell exocytosis as a putative common defect observed in these rodent models.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by insufficient insulin secretion and elevated glucose levels, often in combination with high levels of circulating fatty acids. Long-term exposure to high levels of glucose or fatty acids impair insulin secretion in pancreatic islets, which could partly be due to epigenetic alterations. We studied the effects of high concentrations of glucose and palmitate combined for 48 h (glucolipotoxicity) on the transcriptome, the epigenome, and cell function in human islets. Glucolipotoxicity impaired insulin secretion, increased apoptosis, and significantly (false discovery rate <5%) altered the expression of 1,855 genes, including 35 genes previously implicated in T2D by genome-wide association studies (e.g., TCF7L2 and CDKN2B). Additionally, metabolic pathways were enriched for downregulated genes. Of the differentially expressed genes, 1,469 also exhibited altered DNA methylation (e.g., CDK1, FICD, TPX2, and TYMS). A luciferase assay showed that increased methylation of CDK1 directly reduces its transcription in pancreatic β-cells, supporting the idea that DNA methylation underlies altered expression after glucolipotoxicity. Follow-up experiments in clonal β-cells showed that knockdown of FICD and TPX2 alters insulin secretion. Together, our novel data demonstrate that glucolipotoxicity changes the epigenome in human islets, thereby altering gene expression and possibly exacerbating the secretory defect in T2D.

Abstract
High fructose intake from soft drinks and sweets is assumed to have a negative impact on human health. Yet in spite of intensive research, the molecular mechanisms of these effects have not been fully elucidated yet, for example, the effect of high fructose intake could be different in normal and obese individuals. Four groups of mice were used in this study: control groups of lean mice and mice with obesity induced by a high-fat diet, then both of these groups with or without fructose administration in drinks. In plasma of each group, triacylglycerol, cholesterol, free fatty acids, alanine aminotransferase, insulin and adiponectin were measured. The expression levels of selected microRNAs (miRNAs) in plasma, the liver, white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue and subcutaneous adipose tissue were quantified. In both lean and obese mice, high fructose intake increased cholesterol amount in the liver, up-regulated hepatic miR-27a, down-regulated miR-33a in white adipose tissue and increased plasmatic level of miR-21. The effect of high fructose intake on other miRNAs in the liver, plasma and adipose tissues differed in normal and obese mice. Fructose intake led to hepatic hypercholesterolemia and aberrant expression of several miRNAs participating in lipid metabolism, adipocytes differentiation and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease promotion. The effect of fructose on miRNAs expression differed in normal and obese mice. Nevertheless, plasmatic miR-21, which was induced by fructose in both lean and obese mice, may be considered as a potential biomarker of excessive fructose intake.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is a progressive metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. Functional impairment of islet β cells can occur to varying degrees. This impairment can initially be compensated for by proliferation and metabolic changes of β cells. Cell division control protein 42 (Cdc42) and the microRNA (miRNA) miR-29 have important roles in β-cell proliferation and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), which we further explored using the mouse insulinoma cell line MIN6. METHODS Upregulation and downregulation of miR-29a and Cdc42 were accomplished using transient transfection. miR-29a and Cdc42 expression was detected by real-time PCR and western blotting. MIN6 proliferation was detected using a cell counting kit assay. GSIS under high-glucose (20.0 mM) or basal-glucose (5.0 mM) stimulation was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The miR-29a binding site in the Cdc42 mRNA 3'-untranslated region (UTR) was determined using bioinformatics and luciferase reporter assays. RESULTS miR-29a overexpression inhibited proliferation (P < 0.01) and GSIS under high-glucose stimulation (P < 0.01). Cdc42 overexpression promoted proliferation (P < 0.05) and GSIS under high-glucose stimulation (P < 0.05). miR-29a overexpression decreased Cdc42 expression (P < 0.01), whereas miR-29a downregulation increased Cdc42 expression (P < 0.01). The results showed that the Cdc42 mRNA 3'-UTR is a direct target of miR-29a in vitro. Additionally, Cdc42 reversed miR-29a-mediated inhibition of proliferation and GSIS (P < 0.01). Furthermore, miR-29a inhibited β-catenin expression (P < 0.01), whereas Cdc42 promoted β-catenin expression (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION By negatively regulating Cdc42 and the downstream molecule β-catenin, miR-29a inhibits MIN6 proliferation and insulin secretion.

Abstract
Multiple studies have reported different methods in treating gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); however, the relationship between miR-335-5p and GDM still remains unclear. Here, this study explores the effect of miR-335-5p on insulin resistance and pancreatic islet β-cell secretion via activation of the TGFβ signaling pathway by downregulating VASH1 expression in GDM mice. The GDM mouse model was established and mainly treated with miR-335-5p mimic, miR-335-5p inhibitor, si-VASH1, and miR-335-5p inhibitor + si-VASH1. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was conducted to detect fasting blood glucose (FBG) fasting insulin (FINS). The OGTT was also used to calculate a homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). A hyperglycemic clamp was performed to measure the glucose infusion rate (GIR), which estimated β-cell function. Expressions of miR-335-5p, VASH1, TGF-β1, and c-Myc in pancreatic islet β-cells were determined by RT-qPCR, western blot analysis, and insulin release by ELISA. The miR-335-5p mimic and si-VASH1 groups showed elevated blood glucose levels, glucose area under the curve (GAUC), and HOMA-IR, but a reduced GIR and positive expression of VASH1. Overexpression of miR-335-5p and inhibition of VASH1 contributed to activated TGFβ1 pathway, higher c-Myc, and lower VASH1 expressions, in addition to downregulated insulin and insulin release levels. These findings provided evidence that miR-335-5p enhanced insulin resistance and suppressed pancreatic islet β-cell secretion by inhibiting VASH1, eventually activating the TGF-β pathway in GDM mice, which provides more clinical insight on the GDM treatment.

Abstract
Pancreatic islet hormone secretion is central in the maintenance of blood glucose homeostasis. During development of hyperglycaemia, the β-cell is under pressure to release more insulin to compensate for increased insulin resistance. Failure of the β-cells to secrete enough insulin results in type 2 diabetes (T2D). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA molecules suitable for rapid regulation of the changes in target gene expression needed in β-cell adaptations. Moreover, miRNAs are involved in the maintenance of α-cell and β-cell phenotypic identities via cell-specific, or cell-enriched expression. Although many of the abundant miRNAs are highly expressed in both cell types, recent research has focused on the role of miRNAs in β-cells. It has been shown that highly abundant miRNAs, such as miR-375, are involved in several cellular functions indispensable in maintaining β-cell phenotypic identity, almost acting as "housekeeping genes" in the context of hormone secretion. Despite the abundance and importance of miR-375, it has not been shown to be differentially expressed in T2D islets. On the contrary, the less abundant miRNAs such as miR-212/miR-132, miR-335, miR-130a/b and miR-152 are deregulated in T2D islets, wherein the latter three miRNAs were shown to play key roles in regulating β-cell metabolism. In this review, we focus on β-cell function and describe miRNAs involved in insulin biosynthesis and processing, glucose uptake and metabolism, electrical activity and Ca2+ -influx and exocytosis of the insulin granules. We present current status on miRNA regulation in α-cells, and finally we discuss the involvement of miRNAs in β-cell dysfunction underlying T2D pathogenesis.

Abstract
Failure of the β-cell to secrete enough insulin is a major contributing factor in the pathogenesis of type-2 diabetes (T2D). MicroRNAs provide an extra layer in the regulation of protein expression, and are thus involved in β-cell compensation during development of the disease. In this review, we discuss how microRNAs can regulate their target protein expression and phenotypic output, present the status of nutritional regulation of microRNA expression, and summarize work on microRNA expression in human islets. In conclusion, current data lend support to microRNAs being essential regulators of insulin secretion. Future work will describe microRNAs in α-cell function, details of the microRNA-mRNA network, and possibilities to use microRNAs as biomarkers and in therapeutic treatment of T2D and complications.

MiR-335 overexpression impairs insulin secretion through defective priming of insulin vesicles. Physiol Rep 2018; 5:5/21/e13493.

Abstract
MicroRNAs contribute to the maintenance of optimal cellular functions by fine‐tuning protein expression levels. In the pancreatic β‐cells, imbalances in the exocytotic machinery components lead to impaired insulin secretion and type 2 diabetes (T2D). We hypothesize that dysregulated miRNA expression exacerbates β‐cell dysfunction, and have earlier shown that islets from the diabetic GK‐rat model have increased expression of miRNAs, including miR‐335‐5p (miR‐335). Here, we aim to determine the specific role of miR‐335 during development of T2D, and the influence of this miRNA on glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion and Ca2+‐dependent exocytosis. We found that the expression of miR‐335 negatively correlated with secretion index in human islets of individuals with prediabetes. Overexpression of miR‐335 in human EndoC‐βH1 and in rat INS‐1 832/13 cells (OE335) resulted in decreased glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion, and OE335 cells showed concomitant reduction in three exocytotic proteins: SNAP25, Syntaxin‐binding protein 1 (STXBP1), and synaptotagmin 11 (SYT11). Single‐cell capacitance measurements, complemented with TIRF microscopy of the granule marker NPY‐mEGFP demonstrated a significant reduction in exocytosis in OE335 cells. The reduction was not associated with defective docking or decreased Ca2+ current. More likely, it is a direct consequence of impaired priming of already docked granules. Earlier reports have proposed reduced granular priming as the cause of reduced first‐phase insulin secretion during prediabetes. Here, we show a specific role of miR‐335 in regulating insulin secretion during this transition period. Moreover, we can conclude that miR‐335 has the capacity to modulate insulin secretion and Ca2+‐dependent exocytosis through effects on granular priming.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is no more a lifestyle disease of developed countries. It has emerged as a major health problem worldwide including developing countries. However, how diabetes could be detected at an early stage (prediabetes) to prevent the progression of disease is still unclear. Currently used biomarkers like glycated hemoglobin and assessment of blood glucose level have their own limitations. These classical markers can be detected when the disease is already established. Prognosis of disease at early stages and prediction of population at a higher risk require identification of specific markers that are sensitive enough to be detected at early stages of disease. Biomarkers which could predict the risk of disease in people will be useful for developing preventive/proactive therapies to those individuals who are at a higher risk of developing the disease. Recent studies suggested that the expression of biomolecules including microRNAs, proteins, and metabolites specifically change during the progression of T2DM and related complications, suggestive of disease pathology. Owing to their omnipresence in body fluids and their association with onset, progression, and pathogenesis of T2DM, these biomolecules can be potential biomarker for prognosis, diagnosis, and management of disease. In this article, we summarize biomolecules that could be potential biomarkers and their signature changes associated with T2DM and related complications during disease pathogenesis.
