| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sarcopenia has been thought to be a diabetic complication. Sarcopenia occurs during male menopause, and it is a risk for diabetes. However, the molecular mechanism of sarcopenia caused by reduced androgen signal has not been clarified yet.
We established a murine model for male menopause sarcopenia and performed a transcriptome analysis. Scid1 and smox were identified as mRNAs at low expression level in the atrophic soleus muscle. The expression level of mir23b-3p was upregulated in the atrophic muscle. We revealed that mir23b-3p could repress pten and could upregulate muscle protein synthesis.
