This study aimed to explore the significance and probable functions of HCG18 in NAFLD.Patients and Methods: The expression of HCG18 and miR-197-3p was tested by qRT-PCR. The clinical signification of HCG18 was provided by the ROC curve and Pearson correlation. The corresponding mechanism was punctuated by the luciferase reporter assay and HFD-managed mice.Results: HCG18 expression was higher in the patients with NAFLD than in controls and in individuals with HOMA-IR score ≥ 2.5 than those with HOMA-IR score < 2.5. HCG18 expression in NAFLD patients was related to BMI, HOMA-IR, ALT, FBG, TC, and TG. HCG18 showed satisfactory predictive accuracy in differentiating NAFLD patients and patients with HOMA-IR ≥ 2.5. Besides, HCG18 had protective impacts on blood glucose and fat deposition but not on body weight. MiR-197-3p is a direct gene of HCG18, and a reverse correlation was found between miR-197-3p and HCG18. Furthermore, miR-197-3p regulated the influence of HCG18 on insulin resistance and lipid accumulation.Conclusion: Increased levels of HCG18 might be an alternate indicator for NAFLD patients. The HCG18-miR-197-3p axis exerted effects on the progression of fat sedimentation and glucose disorder in NAFLD.Keywords: HCG18 miR-197-3p, diagnosis, insulin resistance, lipid accumulationXia YZhang YWang HDove Medical Pressarticlehcg18 mir-197-3pdiagnosisinsulin resistancelipid accumulationSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 14, Pp 4747-4756 (2021)
