Core Tip	Our study presents important information on the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and insulin resistance. We used a Bioinformatics method to identify microRNAs potentially involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism and insulin signalling. We chose micro-RNA-185 (miR-185) to validate in vitro and in vivo in regard to regulation of lipid metabolism gene expression and blockade of the insulin-signalling pathway. We found over-expression of miR-185 improved insulin sensitivity and reduced liver steatosis in a NAFLD animal model. No previous studies have reported miR-185 regulation of the insulin-signalling pathway. MiR-185 might be useful in the design of therapeutic strategies for treating NAFLD and insulin resistance.
