MicroRNA-125b-5p improves pancreatic β-cell function through inhibiting JNK signaling pathway by targeting DACT1 in mice with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive disease, accompanied by increased insulin resistance and deteriorating β-cell function. Previous studies have revealed that microRNA (miRNA) plays a crucial role in the treatment of T2DM. Hence, we aim to investigate the role of microRNA-125b-5p (miR-125b-5p) in pancreatic β-cell function and insulin sensitivity of mice with T2DM with the involvement of Dishevelled antagonist Dapper1 (DACT1) and...
