Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the main causes of liver disease that has reached its last stage. Over the past few years, evidence for miRNAs' centrality in NAFLD pathogenesis has accumulated. According to some studies, miR-574-5p plays a role in lipid metabolism. However, research on the relationship between miR-574-5p and NAFLD is lacking. For in vivo experiments, we induced the NAFLD mice model with a high-fat diet (HFD). AgomiR-574-5p was injected intravenously into HFD-fed mice for eight weeks, and qPCR was used to identify the expression of miR-574-5p in the serum. In in vitro experiments, The treatment of L-O2 cells with a miR-574-5p mimic resulted in a significant reduction in lipid deposition, suggesting that miR-574-5p can inhibit lipid accumulation and lipid formation induced by OA. The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay revealed that miR-574-5p targets the 3' UTR region of HOXC6 directly. We discovered that OA-induced lipid accumulation in hepatocytes might be mediated through the miR-574-5p-HOXC6 signaling axis. Additional research is required in order to determine the specific mechanism by which HOXC6 downstream pathways are involved in the miR-574-5p induced lipid uptake.
