Increase in miR‐148b in muscle cell alters insulin signaling. Human primary myotubes were transfected with anti‐miR‐148b (miRCURY‐148b) or anti‐miRcontrol (miRCURY‐CTRL), and with a plasmid expressing pre‐miR148b (pmiR‐148b) or a control plasmid (pmiR‐CTRL). Phosphorylation of PKB and MAPK in response to 10 nmol/L and 100 nmol/L insulin was quantified by Western blotting. Results are presented as fold changes in pPKB/PKB ratios after miR‐148b inhibition (A) or overexpression (B), and as pMAPK/MAPK ratios after miR‐148b inhibition (C) or overexpression (D). Values are means ± SEM for n = 6 experiments. *indicates P < 0.05 compared to control conditions.
