MiR‐184 expression is regulated by AMPK in pancreatic islets

Abstract excerpt

AMPK is a critical energy sensor and target for widely used antidiabetic drugs. In β cells, elevated glucose concentrations lower AMPK activity, and the ablation of both catalytic subunits [β-cell-specific AMPK double-knockout (βAMPKdKO) mice] impairs insulin secretion in vivo and β-cell identity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that silence gene expression that are essential for pancreatic β-cell function and...
