Cellular experiments were performed to verify the effect of PPAR-α on cell function.Results: miR-21 is down-regulated in the serum and placenta of GDM patients compared to normal pregnant women. In the case of insulin resistance, miR-21-5p knockdown promoted glucose uptake, but no significant effect was found under physiological condition. Functional studies have shown that reduced PPAR-α expression can restore miR-21 knockdown-mediated cell growth and metastasis inhibition. Additionally, decreased expression of miR-21 but increased expression of -PPAR-α was observed in patients with GDM and GDM rats.Conclusion: The expression of the placental miR-21-5p, which inhibits cell growth and infiltration by up-regulating PPAR-α, is downregulated in pregnant GDM patients, which in turn may affect the placental function.Keywords: gestational diabetes mellitus, miRNA-21, insulin resistance, PPAR-αhttps://www.dovepress.com/down-regulated-mir-21-in-gestational-diabetes-mellitus-placenta-induce-peer-reviewed-article-DMSOgestational diabetes mellitusmirna-21insulin resistanceppar-α |
