Western blot analysis assessed the expression level of SIRT1 protein, and the interaction between miR-186 and SIRT1 was scrutinized through a luciferase reporter gene assay.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Across all the mature and hypertrophied cells, the evaluated miRNAs exhibited a significant increase in expression, highlighting their involvement in fat accumulation at a cellular scale. Notably, miR-186-5p displayed the highest expression in differentiated cells and the hypertrophy model. Induction of miR-186 led to attenuation of SIRT1, while its inhibition by miR-186 inhibitor resulted in upregulation of SIRT1 expression. miR-186 caused a remarkable elevation in the expression of inflammatory genes, including IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and MCP-1, indicating a noticeable pattern of relationship between miR-186-induced SIRT-1 inhibition and inflammation.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>miR-186 emerges as a pivotal factor in amplifying inflammatory cytokines and down-regulates SIRT1, an effect that might highlight the involvement of SIRT1 in the inflammatory responses of adipocytes, as well as underscoring the crucial role of miR-186 in this process. These findings present miR-186 as a promising target for addressing health challenges related to obesity.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40200-024-01525-0.</p>","PeriodicalId":15635,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders","volume":"24 1","pages":"42"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11711434/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142969804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
