MicroRNA-21 Promotes Pancreatic β cell Function through Modulating Glucose Uptake


ABSTRACT: Pancreatic β cell dysfunction greatly contributes to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. MiR-21 has been shown to be induced in the islets of glucose intolerant patients and type 2 diabetic mice. However, the role of miR-21 in the regulation of pancreatic β cell function remains largely elusive. In the current study, we studied the pathway by which miR-21 regulates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion utilizing mice lacking miR-21 in their β cells (miR-21βKO). We found that miR-21βKO mice developed glucose intolerance due to impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Mechanistic studies revealed that miR-21 enhances glucose uptake and subsequently promotes insulin secretion by up-regulating Glut2 expression in a miR-21-Pdcd4-AP-1 dependent pathway. Over-expression of Glut2 in knockout islets resulted in rescue of the impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Furthermore, we demonstrated that delivery of miR-21 into the pancreas of type 2 diabetic db/db mice is able to promote Glut2 expression and significantly reduce blood glucose level. Taking together, our results reveal that miR-21 in islet β cell promotes insulin secretion and support a role for miR-21 in the adaptation of pancreatic β cell function in type 2 diabetes.
