Journal ArticleDOI
Construction of short tandem target mimic (STTM) to block the functions of plant and animal microRNAs
TL;DR: STTM is a powerful technology complementing the previous target mimic (TM) in plants and the miRNA sponge, as well as the recently defined endogenous competing RNA (CeRNA) in animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
MicroRNAs as pharmacological targets in diabetes
TL;DR: This review focuses on the dysregulated miRNAs discovered in various diabetic models and addresses the potential for microRNAs to be therapeutic targets in the treatment of diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differentially Expressed MicroRNA-483 Confers Distinct Functions in Pancreatic β- and α-Cells.
Ramkumar Mohan,Yiping Mao,Shungang Zhang,Yu-Wei Zhang,Cheng-Ran Xu,Gerard Gradwohl,Xiaoqing Tang +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that miR-483 has opposite effects in α- and β-cells by targeting SOCS3, and the imbalance of miR -483 and its targets may play a crucial role in diabetes pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole blueberry protects pancreatic beta-cells in diet-induced obese mouse.
TL;DR: Blueberry-supplemented diet can prevent obesity-induced insulin resistance by improving insulin sensitivity and protecting pancreatic β-cells, and has the potential to protect and improve health conditions for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
microRNA-483 Protects Pancreatic β-Cells by Targeting ALDH1A3.
Zhihong Wang,Ramkumar Mohan,Xinqian Chen,Katy Matson,Jackson Waugh,Yiping Mao,Shungang Zhang,Wanzhen Li,Xiaohu Tang,Leslie S. Satin,Xiaoqing Tang +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a β-cell-specific knockout mouse model of miR-483 was generated to explore the physiological function of miRNAs and showed that miRAs are critical in protecting β-cells function by repressing the βcell disallowed gene Aldh1a3.
