1 | Elevated circulating stearic acid leads to a major lipotoxic effect on mouse pancreatic beta cells in hyperlipidaemia via a miR-34a-5p-mediated PERK/p53-dependent pathway. | stearic acid | microRNA 615 | Mus musculus |
2 | RESULTS: In both mouse islets and cultured rat insulinoma INS-1 cells, stearic acid exhibited a stronger lipotoxic role than other fatty acids, owing to repression of B cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) and BCL-2-like 2 (BCL-W) by stearic acid stimulation of miR-34a-5p. | stearic acid | microRNA 615 | Mus musculus |
3 | Further investigations in INS-1 cells revealed that p53 was involved in stearic-acid-induced elevation of miR-34a-5p, owing in part to activation of protein kinase-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK). | stearic acid | microRNA 615 | Mus musculus |
4 | Conversely, silencing PERK alleviated stearic-acid-induced p53, miR-34a-5p and lipotoxicity. | stearic acid | microRNA 615 | Mus musculus |
