Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in diabetogenesis in experimental models, yet their role in humans is unclear. We investigated whether circulating lncRNAs associate with incident type 2 diabetes in older adults.
A preselected panel of lncRNAs was measured in serum of individuals without diabetes (n = 296) from the Vienna Transdanube Aging study, a prospective community-based cohort study. Participants were followed up over 7.5 years. A second cohort of individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (n = 90) was used to validate our findings.
Four lncRNAs (ANRIL, MIAT, RNCR3, and PLUTO) were associated with incident type 2 diabetes and linked to hemoglobin A1c trajectories throughout the 7.5-year follow-up. Similar results (for MIAT and PLUTO also in combined analysis) were obtained in the validation cohort.
We found a set of circulating lncRNAs that independently portends incident type 2 diabetes in older adults years before disease onset.
长链非编码 RNA(lncRNAs)参与实验模型中的糖尿病发生,但它们在人类中的作用尚不清楚。我们研究了循环 lncRNAs 是否与老年人的 2 型糖尿病发病有关。
在维也纳多瑙河衰老研究(一项前瞻性的社区为基础的队列研究)中,对无糖尿病个体(n=296)的血清进行了预先选择的 lncRNAs 检测。参与者在 7.5 年内进行了随访。使用第二个包含有和没有 2 型糖尿病的个体的队列(n=90)来验证我们的发现。
有 4 种 lncRNAs(ANRIL、MIAT、RNCR3 和 PLUTO)与 2 型糖尿病发病相关,并与整个 7.5 年随访期间的血红蛋白 A1c 轨迹有关。在验证队列中也得到了相似的结果(MIAT 和 PLUTO 也在联合分析中)。
我们发现了一组循环 lncRNAs,它们在疾病发病前数年独立预示老年人的 2 型糖尿病发病。
