    摘要： MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and which play important roles in many cell types, including as described herein, the pancreatic β-cell. Glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone released from intestinal L-cells following meal intake, exerts pleiotropic effects on β-cell function including raising intracellular cAMP levels and now represents an important therapy for type 2 diabetes. Expression of miR-132 and miR212 is upregulated by CREB protein in response increased cAMP levels in the cell; therefore, methods for detecting and evaluating β-cell engagement by GLP-1 receptor agonists by monitoring miR-132 and miR-212 expression in a subject is described. The methods herein are particularly useful in the context of longitudinal clinical trials, such as those designed for testing the durability of any single or combination therapy in type 2 diabetes populations. Because the expression of these miRNAs is not affected by glucose, fatty acid, insulin, or β-cell function, monitoring miR-132 and miR-212 expression can be used to monitor the efficacy of any agent that effects an increase cAMP in β-cells. Such agents include for example, GLP-1, glucagon, GPR-119, and GIP receptor agonists; dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) inhibitors; and phosphodiesterase inhibitors.
