[Noncoding RNA in the Regulation of Hepatic Glucose and Lipid Metabolism]
Abstract:
In the past decades, diabetes, in particular type 2 diabetes (T2D)mainly characterized by global insulin resistance and pancreatic beta cell failure, had become epidemic and a severe public health threat worldwide with the development of economy and change of lifestyle.The interactions between environment factors and genetic background play vital roles in the development and progression of T2D.More recently, it had been revealed that non-coding RNA including microRNA (miRNA)and long noncoding RNA (LncRNA)are widely involved inthe regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. So far, it had been established that deregulated miRNA and LncRNA profile in main metabolic tissues is tightly associated with T2D,and intensive studies on non-coding RNAs had shed light on understanding the pathogen-esis of T2D.The current review aimed to briefly summarize and discuss the latest findings regarding the role and mechanism of miRNAs and LncRNAs in the regulation hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism.
