Aims:
We evaluated the involvement of lncRNAs in the development of pathologies associated with chronic hyperglycaemia in rat models in a model of type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes.
Methods:
Reports were searched in Dialnet, Scielo, HINARI, Springer, ClinicalKey, OTseeker, PubMed and different grey literature databases with any restrictions. Bibliography databases will be searched from their inception to December 2022.
Results:
Thirty-seven studies met our criteria, and they had the following characteristics: original experimental studies on diabetes, the lncRNAs were extracted or measured from tissues of specific areas and the results were expressed in terms of standard measures by RT-PCR. In most studies, both primary and secondary outcomes were mentioned. On the other hand, we found a total of nine diabetic complications, being retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy the most representatives. Additionally, it was found that MALAT1, H19, NEAT1 and TUG1 are the most studied lncRNAs about these complications in rats. On the other hand, the lncRNAs with the highest rate of change were MSTRG.1662 (17.85; 13.78, 21.93), ENSRNOT00000093120_Aox3 (7.13; 5.95, 8.31) and NONRATG013497.2 (-5.55; -7.18, -3.93).
Conclusions:
This review found a significant involvement of lncRNAs in the progression of pathologies associated with chronic hyperglycaemia in rat models, and further studies are needed to establish their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for diabetes.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
