Given that (1) more than 387 million people worldwide are affected by Diabetes mellitus (DM); (2) the life-long painful injection/drug treatment required to treat DM; and (3) the global economic cost spent for diabetes treatment in 2014 was little more than 600 billion US dollars, there is an urgent need to find: (i) a way to induce regeneration of adult β-cells that were lost in DM; (ii) a cheaper alternative to the existing expensive drugs; and (iii) a side-effect-free natural product-based drug.
This study suggests an MiRNA-based Regenerative therapy for DM. MiRNA-208-3p, by increasing the expression of its target gene, it may increase insulin-secreting cell mass and function. Thereby, it may increase insulin sensitivity of cellular tissues. Thus, pharmacological formulations encompassing “MiRNA-208-3p or its activators” can be used to treat DM.
