Background The development of an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus is urgently needed. This study aimed to investigate the role of micro RNA (miR)-323-3p in regulating the expression of adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1), as well as the insulin secretion and cell function of pancreatic MIN6 β-cells. Methods MIN6 cells were treated with miR-323-3p mimics or inhibitors, and the effects on cell growth, proliferation, mitosis, and insulin secretion were studied. The expression levels of sirtuin-1 (SIRT-1) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) genes were also assessed. Results miR-323-3p directly targeted AdipoR1, and suppressed its expression at mRNA and protein levels. It also regulated the protein expression of SIRT-1 and AMPK, which are downstream target genes of the AdipoR1 signaling pathway. miR-323-3p suppressed cell growth, proliferation, mitosis, and insulin secretion of MIN6 cells. Conclusions miR-323-3p appears to be a crucial diabetes factor that mediates its functions by inhibiting the AdipoR1/AMPK/SIRT-1 signaling pathway. Our findings suggest that targeting AdipoR1 with inhibitors of miR-323-3p is a potential approach to improve the function of islet cells.

Role of the AMP-activated protein kinase in regulating fatty acid metabolism during exerciseThis paper is one of a selection of papers published in this Special Issue, entitled 14th International Biochemistry of Exercise Conference – Muscles as Molecular and Metabolic Machines, and has undergone the Journal’s usual peer review process.

During moderate-intensity exercise, fatty acids are the predominant substrate for working skeletal muscle. The release of fatty acids from adipose tissue stores, combined with the ability of skeletal muscle to actively fine tune the gradient between fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism, depending on substrate availability and energetic demands, requires a coordinated system of metabolic control. Over the past decade, since the discovery that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was increased in accordance with exercise intensity, there has been significant interest in the proposed role of this ancient stress-sensing kinase as a critical integrative switch controlling metabolic responses during exercise. In this review, studies examining the role of AMPK as a regulator of fatty acid metabolism in both adipose tissue and skeletal muscle during exercise will be discussed. Exercise induces activation of AMPK in adipocytes and regulates triglyceride hydrolysis and esterfication through phosphorylation of hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) and glycerol-3-phosphate acyl-transferase, respectively. In skeletal muscle, exercise-induced activation of AMPK is associated with increases in fatty acid uptake, phosphorylation of HSL, and increased fatty acid oxidation, which is thought to occur via the acetyl-CoA carboxylase-malony-CoA-CPT-1 signalling axis. Despite the importance of AMPK in regulating fatty acid metabolism under resting conditions, recent evidence from transgenic models of AMPK deficiency suggest that alternative signalling pathways may also be important for the control of fatty acid metabolism during exercise.

Contraction induces marked metabolic changes in muscle, and the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a good candidate to explain these effects. Recent work using a muscle-specific knockout of the upstream kinase, LKB1, has confirmed that the LKB1→AMPK cascade is the signaling pathway responsible for many of these effects.

Chondrosarcoma is the second most frequently occurring type of bone malignancy characterized by distant metastatic propensity. Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) is the major lymphangiogenic factor, and makes crucial contributions to tumour lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis. Adiponectin is a protein hormone secreted predominantly by differentiated adipocytes. In recent years, adiponectin has also been indicated as facilitating tumorigenesis, angiogenesis and metastasis. However, the effect of adiponectin on VEGF-C regulation and lymphangiogenesis in chondrosarcoma has remained largely a mystery. In the present study, we have shown a clinical correlation between adiponectin and VEGF-C, as well as tumour stage, in human chondrosarcoma tissues. We further demonstrated that adiponectin promoted VEGF-C expression and secretion in human chondrosarcoma cells. The conditioned medium from adiponectin-treated cells significantly induced tube formation and migration of human lymphatic endothelial cells. In addition, adiponectin knock down inhibited lymphangiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. We also found that adiponectin-induced VEGF-C is mediated by the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and p38 signaling pathway. Furthermore, the expression of miR-27b was negatively regulated by adiponectin via the CaMKII, AMPK and p38 cascade. The present study is the first to describe the mechanism of adiponectin-promoted lymphangiogenesis by up-regulating VEGF-C expression in chondrosarcomas. Thus, adiponectin could serve as a therapeutic target in chondrosarcoma metastasis and lymphangiogenesis.
