PG - 4217-4224 LID - 10.1007/s11033-023-08344-1 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: miR-122 is a liver specific micro-RNA that participates in the regulation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. The rs17669 variant of miR-122 is positioned at the flanking region of miR-122 and may affect its stability and maturation. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the association of the rs17669 polymorphism with the miR-122 circulating level, risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) development, and biochemical parameters in T2DM patients and matched healthy controls. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study involved 295 subjects (controls: n = 145 and T2DM: n = 150). The rs17669 variant genotyping was done by ARMS-PCR. Serum biochemical parameters including lipid profile, small-dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) and glucose were measured by colorimetric kits. Insulin and Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were assayed using ELISA and capillary electrophoresis methods, respectively. miR-122 expression was measured by real-time PCR. There was no significant difference between study groups in terms of allele and genotype distribution (P > 0.05). The rs17669 variant did not have any significant association with miR-122 gene expression and biochemical parameters (P > 0.05). miR-122 expression level in T2DM patients was significantly higher than that in control subjects (5.7 +/- 2.4 vs. 1.4 +/- 0.78) (P < 0.001). Furthermore, miR-122 fold change had a positive and significant correlation with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), sdLDL, fasting blood sugar (FBS), and insulin resistance (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that the rs17669 variant of miR-122 is not associated with the miR-122 expression and T2DM-associated serum parameters. Furthermore, it can be suggested that miR-122 dysregulation is involved in T2DM development through inducing dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and resistance to insulin. CI - (c) 2023.
