Maternal obesity increases hypothalamic miR-505-5p expression in mouse offspring leading to altered fatty acid sensing and increased intake of high-fat food. by Laura Dearden, Isadora C Furigo, Lucas C Pantaleão, L W P Wong, Denise S Fernandez-Twinn, Juliana de Almeida-Faria, Katherine A Kentistou, Maria V Carreira, Guillaume Bidault, Antonio Vidal-Puig, Ken K Ong, John R B Perry, Jose Donato, Susan E Ozanne

“…We demonstrate that targets of miR-505-5p are enriched in fatty acid metabolism pathways and overexpression of miR-505-5p decreased neuronal fatty acid metabolism in vitro. miR-505-5p targets are associated with increased BMI in human genetic studies. Intra-cerebroventricular injection of miR-505-5p in wild-type mice increased HFD intake, mimicking the phenotype observed in offspring exposed to maternal obesity. …”
