Adipose tissue remodeling and dysfunction, characterized by elevated inflammation and insulin resistance, play a central role in obesity-related development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases. Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) are important regulators of cellular functions. Here, we describe the functions of linc-ADAIN (adipose anti-inflammatory), an adipose lincRNA that is downregulated in white adipose tissue of obese humans. We demonstrate that linc-ADAIN knockdown (KD) increases KLF5 and interleukin-8 (IL-8) mRNA stability and translation by interacting with IGF2BP2. Upregulation of KLF5 and IL-8, via linc-ADAIN KD, leads to an enhanced adipogenic program and adipose tissue inflammation, mirroring the obese state, in vitro and in vivo. KD of linc-ADAIN in human adipose stromal cell (ASC) hTERT adipocytes implanted into mice increases adipocyte size and macrophage infiltration compared to implanted control adipocytes, mimicking hallmark features of obesity-induced adipose tissue remodeling. linc-ADAIN is an anti-inflammatory lincRNA that limits adipose tissue expansion and lipid storage.
脂肪组织重塑和功能障碍,其特征为炎症和胰岛素抵抗升高,在肥胖相关 2 型糖尿病(T2D)和心血管疾病的发展中起着核心作用。长链非编码 RNA(lncRNA)是细胞功能的重要调节因子。在这里,我们描述了 linc-ADAIN(脂肪抗炎)的功能,这是一种在肥胖人群的白色脂肪组织中下调的脂肪 lincRNA。我们证明 linc-ADAIN 敲低(KD)通过与 IGF2BP2 相互作用增加 KLF5 和白细胞介素-8(IL-8)mRNA 的稳定性和翻译。通过 linc-ADAIN KD 上调 KLF5 和 IL-8,导致体外和体内的脂肪生成程序和脂肪组织炎症增强,反映了肥胖状态。在植入小鼠的人脂肪基质细胞(ASC)hTERT 脂肪细胞中敲低 linc-ADAIN,与植入的对照脂肪细胞相比,增加了脂肪细胞的大小和巨噬细胞浸润,模拟了肥胖引起的脂肪组织重塑的特征性特征。linc-ADAIN 是一种抗炎 lincRNA,可限制脂肪组织扩张和脂质储存。
