MicroRNAs in lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis.
Numerous studies have examined the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cell homeostasis and cardiovascular disease and have markedly improved our understanding of RNA biology in general and the potential role of miRNAs in atherosclerosis. In atherosclerosis, several miRNAs, such as miR-33a,b, miR-92a, miR-126 and others, have been identified that are relevant mediators of pathological processes, incl...
متن کاملEmerging role of microRNAs in lipid metabolism
microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are small non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of their target genes in a sequence-specific manner. Emerging evidence demonstrates that miRNAs are critical regulators of lipid synthesis, fatty acid oxidation and lipoprotein formation and secretion. Dysregulation of miRNAs disrupts gene regulatory network, leading to metabolic syndrome a...
متن کاملMicroRNAs regulating lipid metabolism in atherogenesis.
MicroRNAs have emerged as important post-transcriptional regulators of lipid metabolism, and represent a new class of targets for therapeutic intervention. Recently, microRNA-33a and b (miR-33a/b) were discovered as key regulators of metabolic programs including cholesterol and fatty acid homeostasis. These intronic microRNAs are embedded in the sterol response element binding protein genes, S...
متن کاملmicroRNAs and the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism.
Over recent years, metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes have finally become recognized as a major challenge to global health. The attention of scientists therefore has to focus on improving our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind these diseases and towards the design of new drug therapy strategies. The pathophysiology of diabetes is undoubtedly complex, oftentimes characteri...
متن کاملMicroRNAs: emerging roles in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression by binding to target mRNAs and control a wide range of biological functions. Recent reports have identified specific miRNAs as major regulators of fatty acid and cholesterol homeostasis. This review examines the biological function of various miRNAs and the emerging evidence linking specific miRNAs to critical pathways in lipid metab...
