Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators in metabolic disorders. This study aimed to investigate the differential expression of lncRNAs in IR and assess the impact of metformin on these lncRNAs. Using the Huh7 cell line to model IR (Huh7-IR), we treated the cells with metformin (Huh7-IR+Metf). Microarray analysis, followed by bioinformatic analysis in RStudio, identified 127 downregulated and 109 upregulated lncRNAs, among which 60 showed reduced expression following metformin treatment in Huh7-IR cells. Notably, the upregulated lncRNAs HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR), long intergenic non-protein coding RNA, muscle differentiation 1 (LINCMD1) and Prader-Willi region non-protein coding RNA 2 (PWRN2) were found to be associated with genes involved in the insulin signaling pathway. These three lncRNAs were further validated using real-time RT-PCR. This study highlights the differential expression of lncRNAs in IR and their modulation by metformin. Specifically, metformin restores the expression of lncRNAs that were deregulated in IR, including HOTAIR, LINCMD1, and PWRN2, likely through the regulation of critical biological processes and signaling pathways associated with IR. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that metformin modulates the expression of key lncRNAs, including HOTAIR, LINCMD1, and PWRN2, which are deregulated in insulin resistance.

Samples were collected from various urban waste sources in Erbil city, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, including materials such as pizza boxes, cigarette packets, and coffee cups. Pure bacterial colonies were isolated using standard methods, and their morphological and physiological traits were characterized through biochemical tests. Identification of bacterial species followed established protocols. The study identified diverse bacterial species associated with paper waste, highlighting potential hygiene concerns in the recycling process. The findings of this study contribute to understanding the microbial ecology associated with paper waste and recycling processes. By optimizing hygiene measures and gaining insights into the microbial communities present, this research underscores the importance of sustainable practices in paper recycling to mitigate environmental impacts and promote a healthier ecosystem. Policies for future waste management and reduction of environmental risks have been proposed.</p>","PeriodicalId":9802,"journal":{"name":"Cellular and molecular biology","volume":"71 3","pages":"151-157"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143973957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
