MicroRNA-33a-5p sponges to inhibit pancreatic β-cell function in gestational diabetes mellitus LncRNA DANCR

Overview
Background
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common medical complication associated with pregnancy, which may impose risks on both mother and fetus. Micro RNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implied as vital regulators in GDM. A recent paper revealed dysregulation of miR-33a-5p in placental tissues of GDM patients. However, the biological function of miR-33a-5p in GDM remains elusive. This study focused on exploring the function and underlying mechanisms of miR-33a-5p in GDM.
Methods
12 GDM pregnancies and 12 healthy pregnancies were enrolled in the study. INS-1 cell line was applied in in vitro experiments. The expression levels of miR-33a-5p, lnc-DANCR (Differentiation Antagonizing Non-Protein Coding RNA), and ABCA1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter 1) mRNA were determined by RT-qPCR assay. Glucose and insulin levels were measured by ELISA assay. Luciferase reporter assay and western blot assay were applied to validate the target of miR-33a-5p.
Results
miR-33a-5p was upregulated in the blood samples from GDM, and was positively correlated with blood glucose (
p
< 0.0001). Overexpression or inhibition of miR-33a-5p significantly inhibited or promoted cell growth and insulin production of INS-1 cells (
p
< 0.01). Furthermore, ABCA1 is a direct target of miR-33a-5p, and lnc-DANCR functions as a sponge for miR-33a-5p to antagonize the function of miR-33a-5p in INS-1 cells.
Conclusion
Our study demonstrated that lnc-DANCR-miR-33a-5p-ABCA1 signaling cascade plays a crucial role in the regulation of the cellular function of INS-1 cells.
