After normalization of the steatosis-related circRNA by expression vector, analysis of miR-34a activity, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)α level, and expression of downstream genes were carried out so as to reveal its impact on the miR-34a/PPARα regulatory system.
Amelioration of hepatic steatosis is associated with modulation of gut microbiota and suppression of hepatic miR-34a in <i>Gynostemma pentaphylla</i> (Thunb.) Makino treated mice.
Activating AMPK<i>α</i> negatively regulates Egr1 to inhibit inflammatory cytokines in high glucose. miR-34a inhibition increases phosphorylated AMPK<i>α</i> through mediating SIRT1 to suppress the development of fatty liver.
We found that hepatic miR-34a expression was upregulated in ethanol-fed mice and heavy drinkers with steatohepatitis compared with respective controls.
Here we show that hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α), a liver-enriched nuclear hormone receptor, is markedly inhibited, whereas miR-34a is highly induced in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, diabetic mice and mice fed a high-fat diet. miR-34a is essential for HNF4α expression and regulates triglyceride accumulation in human and murine hepatocytes. miR-34a inhibits very low-density lipoprotein secretion and promotes liver steatosis and hypolipidemia in an HNF4α-dependent manner.
MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a) is the most highly elevated hepatic miR in obese mice and is also substantially elevated in patients who have steatosis, but its role in obesity and metabolic dysfunction remains unclear.

Dysregulation of circRNA_0046366/miR-34a/PPARα signaling may be a novel epigenetic mechanism underlying hepatocellular steatosis. circRNA_0046366 serves as a potential target for the treatment of hepatic steatosis.

We identified four miRNAs overexpressed in obesity (miR-222, miR-142-3, miR-140-5p, and miR-143) and two miRNAs (miR-122 and miR-34a) overexpressed in children with obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and/or insulin resistance.
Epigenetic origin of the link between obesity and breast cancer (BC) is investigated in a cohort of Tunisian patients, focusing on polymorphism at germline level (miR-146a) and on expression in mammary tumors (miR-21, miR-146a, and miR-34a), according to body mass index (BMI) and clinico-pathologic features.
Recent microRNA (miR) studies have revealed that aberrantly elevated miR-34a in obesity directly targets β-Klotho, the obligate coreceptor for both FGF19 and FGF21, and attenuates metabolic signaling of these hormones.
The molecular mechanism under the glucose intolerance responses which affects the growth performance and feed utilization is still confused. miR-34a was reported as a key regulator in the glucose metabolism, but how did the miR-34a exert its function in the metabolism of glucose/insulin in <i>M. amblycephala</i> was still unclear.
This identifies the KChIP2/miR-34 axis as a central regulator in developing electrical dysfunction and reveals miR-34 as a therapeutic target for treating arrhythmogenesis in heart disease.
