Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to explore the role of LINC00472 in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: Serum LINC00472 expression was detected in 34 patients with T2DM and 45 healthy controls via RT-qPCR, with ROC curve analysing its diagnostic value. Mouse pancreatic β-cell line INS-1 was induced with high glucose (HG) to establish HG-INS-1 model. si-LINC00472 and miR-320b inhibitor were transfected into HG-INS-1. CCK-8, flow cytometry, and ELISA kits were used to detect cell viability, apoptosis, insulin level, and oxidative stress indicators. Subcellular fractionation, dual-luciferase reporter, and RIP assays verified the interaction between LINC00472 and miR-320b.
Results: Serum LINC00472 was elevated in T2DM patients, with AUC = 0.882, 73.81% sensitivity, and 94.29% specificity. Silencing LINC00472 enhanced HG-INS-1 viability, reduced apoptosis, increased insulin, decreased ROS/MDA, and increased GSH. LINC00472 was mainly cytoplasmic and targeted miR-320b.
Conclusion: LINC00472 is a potential T2DM biomarker.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Physiology and Biochemistry: The Journal of Metabolic Diseases is an international peer-reviewed journal which has been relaunched to meet the increasing demand for integrated publication on molecular, biochemical and cellular aspects of metabolic diseases, as well as clinical and therapeutic strategies for their treatment. It publishes full-length original articles, rapid papers, reviews and mini-reviews on selected topics. It is the overall goal of the journal to disseminate novel approaches to an improved understanding of major metabolic disorders.
The scope encompasses all topics related to the molecular and cellular pathophysiology of metabolic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, and their associated complications.
Clinical studies are considered as an integral part of the Journal and should be related to one of the following topics:
-Dysregulation of hormone receptors and signal transduction
-Contribution of gene variants and gene regulatory processes
-Impairment of intermediary metabolism at the cellular level
-Secretion and metabolism of peptides and other factors that mediate cellular crosstalk
-Therapeutic strategies for managing metabolic diseases
Special issues dedicated to topics in the field will be published regularly.
