摘要
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex disease characterized by the inability of the insulin-producing beta cells in the endocrine pancreas to overcome insulin resistance in peripheral tissues. To determine if microRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of human T2DM, we sequenced the small RNAs of human islets from diabetic and nondiabetic organ donors. We identified a cluster of microRNAs in an imprinted locus on human chromosome 14q32 that is highly and specifically expressed in human beta cells and dramatically downregulated in islets from T2DM organ donors. The downregulation of this locus strongly correlates with hypermethylation of its promoter. Using HITS-CLIP for the essential RISC-component Argonaute, we identified disease-relevant targets of the chromosome 14q32 microRNAs, such as IAPP and TP53INP1, that cause increased beta cell apoptosis upon overexpression in human islets. Our results support a role for microRNAs and their epigenetic control by DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of T2DM.
