Adipose tissue-derived microRNA-450a-5p induces type 2 diabetes mellitus by downregulating DUSP10 by Jiaojiao Zhu, Yanting Hou, Wei Yu, Jingzhou Wang, Xiaolong Chu, Xueting Zhang, Huai Pang, Dingling Ma, Yihan Tang, Menghuan Li, Chenggang Yuan, Jianxin Xie, Cuizhe Wang, Jun Zhang

“…Moreover, the adipose Dicer-knockout mouse model was constructed to identify adipose tissue as the main source of microRNA-450a-5p. microRNA-450a-5p could inactivate the insulin signal pathway by targeting the inhibited Dual Specificity Phosphatase 10 (DUSP10) and inducing IR and glucose metabolism disorders in vitro cultured hepatocytes and adipocytes. Additionally, microRNA-450a-5p was found to regulate DUSP10 expression and insulin signaling activity, influencing glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity across various models, including normal diet, HFD-induced obese, adipose tissue-specific microRNA-450a-5p-knockout, and db/db mice. …”
