Defect in insulin signaling leads to the development of insulin resistance followed by type 2 diabetes. Exploiting our previously developed physiological chronic hyperinsulinemia (CI)-mediated insulin resistance (IR) model, we wanted to understand how miRNAs contribute to the development of IR. Amongst the identified and validate miRNAs, the expression of miR-27b was found to be highly upregulated during CI-induced IR in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. We also validated the expression of miR-27b in CI-induced IR in human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC)-derived adipocytes and in vivo high fat diet (HFD)-induced IR mice model. Bioinformatics target prediction softwares and luciferase reporter assay identified insulin receptor (INSR) as one of a prime target of miR-27b. Lentiviral mediated overexpression of miR-27b impairs insulin signaling by modulating INSR expression that in turn led to decreased glucose uptake in both 3T3-L1 and hMSC-derived adipocytes. Conversely, inhibition of miR-27b reversed CI-mediated suppression of target protein INSR and improved phosphorylation of Akt, a nodal protein of insulin signaling that is impaired by CI treatment. Lentiviral mediated overexpression of miR-27b in in vivo C57BL/6 mice impaired whole body glucose tolerance and adipose tissue insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, inhibition of miR-27b in HFD-induced insulin resistance mice model improved glucose tolerance and adipose tissue insulin sensitivity by increasing the expression of its target gene INSR in eWAT. Thus, our results indicate that miR-27b functions as a prime modulator of CI-induced IR via regulating the expression of INSR.
