Abstract
The biological actions of insulin have been originated by activation of membrane receptors, which trigger a diversity of signaling pathways in facilitating their biological activities. Insulin homeostasis functions in promoting metabolism balance and promotes cell growth and proliferation. If these mechanisms are reformed, this could lead to insulin resistance as a result of defective insulin signaling triggered by mutations in receptors or effector molecules located downstream or by abnormal posttranslational modifications. The purpose of this is to preliminarily investigate the mechanism of miRNA-27a-mediating insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 cells. Insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes as a cell model was induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and the miRNA-27a expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes had been experiential. The regulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) mRNA by miRNA-27a had been studied by reverse transcription receptor polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). MiRNA-27a was up-regulated in 3T3-L1 cells, miRNA-27a mimics reserved expression of PPARγ mRNA, and miRNA-27a inhibitors up-regulated the expression of PPARγ mRNA. The insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 cells mediated by miRNA-27a may be achieved by targeting PPARγ.
