MiRNA expression profile of human subcutaneous adipose and during adipocyte differentiation.

TLDR
The remarkable inverse miRNA profile revealed for human pre-adipocytes and mature adipocytes hints at a closely crosstalk between miRNAs and adipogenesis.
Abstract
Background Potential regulators of adipogenesis include microRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs that have been recently shown related to adiposity and differentially expressed in fat depots. However, to date no study is available, to our knowledge, regarding miRNAs expression profile during human adipogenesis. Thereby, the aim of this study was to investigate whether miRNA pattern in human fat cells and subcutaneous adipose tissue is associated to obesity and co-morbidities and whether miRNA expression profile in adipocytes is linked to adipogenesis.

Adipose-derived circulating miRNAs regulate gene expression in other tissues

TL;DR: Transplantation of both white and brown adipose tissue—brown especially—into ADicerKO mice restores the level of numerous circulating miRNAs that are associated with an improvement in glucose tolerance and a reduction in hepatic Fgf21 mRNA and circulating FGF21.

MicroRNAs in metabolism and metabolic disorders.

TL;DR: Dysregulation of miRNAs may contribute to metabolic abnormalities, suggesting that mi RNAs may potentially serve as therapeutic targets for ameliorating cardiometabolic disorders.

MicroRNAs 103 and 107 regulate insulin sensitivity

TL;DR: It is shown that the expression of microRNAs 103 and 107 (miR-103/107) is upregulated in obese mice and caveolin-1, a critical regulator of the insulin receptor, is identified as a direct target gene of miR- 103/107, as a new target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

MicroRNAs: Target Recognition and Regulatory Functions

TL;DR: In this article, a review outlines the current understanding of miRNA target recognition in animals and discusses the widespread impact of miRNAs on both the expression and evolution of protein-coding genes.

miR-33 links SREBP-2 induction to repression of sterol transporters

TL;DR: This work shows that miR-33 is encoded within SREBP-2 and that both mRNAs are coexpressed, and identifies sequences in the 3′ UTR of ABCA1 and ABCG1, sterol transporter genes both previously shown to be regulated by LXR, as targets for mi R-33–mediated silencing.

MicroRNAs: Genomics, Biogenesis, Mechanism, and Function

TL;DR: Although they escaped notice until relatively recently, miRNAs comprise one of the more abundant classes of gene regulatory molecules in multicellular organisms and likely influence the output of many protein-coding genes.

Conserved seed pairing, often flanked by adenosines, indicates that thousands of human genes are microRNA targets

TL;DR: In a four-genome analysis of 3' UTRs, approximately 13,000 regulatory relationships were detected above the estimate of false-positive predictions, thereby implicating as miRNA targets more than 5300 human genes, which represented 30% of the gene set.

Widespread changes in protein synthesis induced by microRNAs

TL;DR: It is shown that a single miRNA can repress the production of hundreds of proteins, but that this repression is typically relatively mild, and the data suggest that a mi RNA can, by direct or indirect effects, tune protein synthesis from thousands of genes.

MicroRNAs Modulate Hematopoietic Lineage Differentiation

TL;DR: The results indicate that microRNAs are components of the molecular circuitry that controls mouse hematopoiesis and suggest that other micro RNAs have similar regulatory roles during other facets of vertebrate development.
