调节棕色脂肪组织活动的微小RNA

The role of miRNAs in regulating brown adipose tissue activity

棕色脂肪组织是在维持人的能量稳态中起重要作用的一类脂肪组织,最近的研究发现,微小RNA(miRNA)在调节棕色脂肪组织活动方面有着重要的功能,其中包括参与调节棕色脂肪细胞的分化,调节棕色脂肪组织的产热功能以及影响白色脂肪组织的“褐变”,本文主要选取了一些miRNA进行具体阐述,以期为今后的研究提供借鉴。

Brown adipose tissue is a type of adipose tissue that plays an important role in maintaining human energy homeostasis.Recent studies have found that microRNAs(miRNAs)have important functions in regulating brown adipose tissue activity,including participating in the regulation of brown fat cell differentiation,regulating the heat production function of brown adipose tissue and affecting the browning of white adipose tissue.This paper reviews some miRNAs,in order to provide reference for future research.
