Major symptoms of diabetes mellitus manifest, once pancreatic β-cell numbers have become inadequate. Although natural regeneration of β-cells after injury is very limited, bone marrow (BM) transplantation (BMT) promotes their regeneration through undetermined mechanism(s) involving inter-cellular (BM cell-to-β-cell) crosstalk. We found that two microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to BMT-induced β-cell regeneration. Screening murine miRNAs in serum exosomes after BMT revealed 42 miRNAs to be increased. Two of these miRNAs (miR-106b-5p and miR-222-3p) were shown to be secreted by BM cells and increased in pancreatic islet cells after BMT. Treatment with the corresponding anti-miRNAs inhibited BMT-induced β-cell regeneration. Furthermore, intravenous administration of the corresponding miRNA mimics promoted post-injury β-cell proliferation through Cip/Kip family down-regulation, thereby ameliorating hyperglycemia in mice with insulin-deficient diabetes. Thus, these identified miRNAs may lead to the development of therapeutic strategies for diabetes. miR-106b-5p and miR-222-3p contribute to post-injury β-cell proliferation through down-regulation of Cip/Kip family members (p21Cip1and p27Kip1). BMT regenerates β-cells in mice with STZ-induced diabetes and increases miR-106b and miR-222 in serum exosomes and islets. Inhibition with anti-miRs against these miRs suppresses BMT-induced β-cell regeneration. Injection of miR-106b and miR-222 mimics promotes β-cell proliferation and improves hyperglycemia in STZ-treated mice. Regeneration of pancreatic β-cells is a promising therapeutic strategy not only for type 1 diabetes but also for certain forms of type 2 diabetes. However, natural regeneration of β-cells hardly ever occurs. Interestingly, bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has been shown to promote β-cell regeneration through an undetermined mechanism(s). In this study, we found that two microRNAs (miR-106b/-222) contribute to BMT-induced β-cell proliferation. Inhibition of miR-106b/-222 using specific anti-miRNAs significantly suppressed BMT-induced β-cell proliferation. Furthermore, intravenously administered miR-106b/222 promoted β-cell proliferation, thereby ameliorating hyperglycemia in mice with insulin-deficient diabetes. Thus, these identified miRNAs may lead to novel therapeutic strategies for diabetes.
