Loss of miR-23b/27b/24-1 Cluster Impairs Glucose Tolerance via Glycolysis Pathway in Mice.

ABSTRACT: Alterations in miRNAs are associated with many metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The miR-23b/27b/24-1 cluster contains miR-23b, miR-27b, and miR-24-1, which are located within 881 bp on chromosome 9. Studies examining the roles of miR-23b, miR-27b, and miR-24-1 have demonstrated their multifaceted functions in variable metabolic disorders. However, their joint roles in metabolism in vivo remain elusive. To investigate this subject, we constructed miR-23b/27b/24-1 cluster knockout (KO) mice. Compared with wild-type (WT) mice, the KO mice exhibited impaired glucose tolerance, which was accompanied by a reduction in the respiratory exchange rate (RER). These alterations were more noticeable after a high-fat diet (HFD) induction. Hepatic metabolomic results showed decreased
