Loss of Dicer decreases the expression of insulin in pancreatic β-cells. Sox6 and Bhlhe22 are targeted by miR-24, miR-26, and miR-148 to facilitate insulin production. Dicer deficiency decreases these microRNAs and allows for these transcriptional repressors to inhibit the expression of insulin mRNA.
