ABSTRACT
MicroRNA is a novel class of small noncoding RNA that has been implicated in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, including glucose homeostasis and diabetes mellitus. So far, a few studies have reported that miRNAs may be an important regulator in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) pathway. However, the role of miRNAs in this process remains unclear. The levels of miRNAs in mouse islets and MIN6 cells were determined by quantitative RT-PCR. Concentration of insulin was determined by ELISA, and the expression of the target protein was determined with western blot assay. The overexpression and downregulation of miRNAs in MIN6 were conducted using cell transfection methods. And luciferase assay was used to measure the direct interaction between miRNAs and target messenger RNAs 3′UTR. miR-9 was screened out for it was downregulated under the effects of short-term high glucose, while long-term high glucose relatively increased miR-9 expression. The Stxbp1 expression was decreased with the overexpression of miR-9 in MIN6 cells and increased when miR-9 was downregulated. Moreover, it was verified by luciferase assay that miR-9 regulated Stxbp1 gene expression by directly targeting Stxbp1 messenger RNA 3′UTR. This study suggests that the pathway consisting of miR-9 and Stxbp1 plays a key role in β-cell function, thus contributing to the network of miRNA-insulin secretion and offering a new candidate for diabetes therapy
