The molecular mechanism by which lipid/lipoprotein biosynthesis is regulated in mammals involves a very large number of genes that are subject to multiple levels of regulation. miRNAs are recognized contributors to lipid homeostasis at the post-transcriptional level, although the elucidation of their role is made difficult by the multiplicity of their targets and the ability of more miRNAs to affect the same mRNAs.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism by which lipid/lipoprotein biosynthesis is regulated in mammals involves a very large number of genes that are subject to multiple levels of regulation. miRNAs are recognized contributors to lipid homeostasis at the post-transcriptional level, although the elucidation of their role is made difficult by the multiplicity of their targets and the ability of more miRNAs to affect the same mRNAs. In this study, an evaluation of how miRNA expression varies in organs playing a key role in lipid/lipoprotein metabolism was conducted in control mice and in two mouse models carrying genetic ablations which differently affect low-density lipoprotein metabolism. Mice were fed a lipid-poor standard diet and a diet enriched in cholesterol and saturated fat. The results obtained showed that there are no miRNAs whose expression constantly vary with dietary or genetic changes. Furthermore, it appears that diet, more than genotype, impacts on organ-specific miRNA expression profiles.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
