SCREENING METHODS OF AGENTS FOR REGULATING THE MIRNAS AND THEIR TARGETS WHICH CONTROL INSULIN SIGNALING PATHWAY

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for screening a material regulating the function of USH or FOG2 which is miR-8 or miR-200 miRNA is provided. CONSTITUTION: A method for screening a material regulating insulin signal transduction comprises: a step of treating a test compound to a cell line which expresses miR-200 family miRNA or miR-8 miRNA; a step of measuring expression level or activity of FOG2 or USH protein in the cells; and a step of screening a test compound which changes the expression or activation of FOG2 or USH protein.
