Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have demonstrated that the expression of miR-34a is significantly upregulated and associated with cell apoptosis in pancreatic β -cell treated with palmitate. Nevertheless, the underlying detailed mechanism is largely unknown. Here, we showed that miR-34a was significantly induced in Min6 pancreatic β -cell upon palmitate treatment. Elevated miR-34a promoted Min6 cell apoptosis. Intriguingly,...
