miR-103/107 promote ER stress-mediated apoptosis via targeting the Wnt3a/β-catenin/ATF6 pathway in preadipocytes

Both miR-103 and miR-107 have been demonstrated to restrain cell proliferation and regulate lipid metabolism and inflammation. However, the effects of miR-103/107 on preadipocyte apoptosis remain unknown. In the present research, we have investigated how miR-103/107 regulated preadipocyte apoptosis. We found that miR-103/107 aggravated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis in preadipocytes. We confirmed that miR-103/107 targeted...
