Abstract

Compared with diabetic patients with normal blood lipid, diabetic patients with dyslipidemia such as high triglycerides have a higher risk of clinical complications, and the disease is also more serious. For the subjects with hypertriglyceridemia, the lncRNAs affecting type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the specific mechanisms remain unclear. Transcriptome sequencing was performed on peripheral blood samples of new-onset T2DM (six subjects) and normal blood control (six subjects) in hypertriglyceridemia patients using gene chip technology, and differentially expressed lncRNA profiles were constructed. Validated by the GEO database and RT-qPCR, lncRNA ENST00000462455.1 was selected. Subsequently, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to observe the effect of ENST00000462455.1 on MIN6. When silencing the ENST00000462455.1 for MIN6 in high glucose and high fat, the relative cell survival rate and insulin secretion decreased, the apoptosis rate increased, and the expression of the transcription factors Ins1, Pdx-1, Glut2, FoxO1, and ETS1 that maintained the function and activity of pancreatic β cells decreased (p< 0.05). In addition, we found that ENST00000462455.1/miR-204-3p/CACNA1C could be the core regulatory axis by using bioinformatics methods. Therefore, ENST00000462455.1 was a potential biomarker for hypertriglyceridemia patients with T2DM.Keywords:type 2 diabetes mellitus;lncRNA;hypertriglyceridemia;MIN6;ceRNA
