Abstract:
:Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is becoming a global health problem due to its increasing prevalence and potential adverse effects, including cardiovascular diseases and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the association between SCH and NAFLD remains controversial. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) have been reported to be implicated in lipid metabolism disorders; however, how miRNAs regulate hepatic lipid metabolism in SCH mice remains unknown. The present study investigated miRNA alterations and proteome profiles in an SCH mouse model, which was generated by methimazole administration in mice for 16 weeks. Next, the profiles of 17 miRNAs that are critical to hepatic lipid metabolism and the proteome were investigated using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and iTRAQ labeling in the liver specimens of SCH (n=9) and control (n=7) mice. Putative target prediction of miRNAs was also conducted using TargetScan and miRanda. Compared with the control mice, SCH mice had 8 miRNAs and 36 proteins with significantly different expression in the liver tissues. Furthermore, a regulatory module containing 3 miRNAs (miR-34a-5p, miR-24-3p and miR-130a-3p) and 4 proteins (thioredoxin, selenium-binding protein 2, elongation factor 1β and prosaposin) was identified. Overall, integrated analysis of miRNAs and the proteome highlighted a regulatory module between miRNAs and proteins, which, to a certain extent, may contribute to a better understanding of hepatic lipid metabolism disorders in SCH mice.
