Abstract
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that can contain DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites. They are secreted by cells and play a regulatory role in various biological responses by mediating cell-to-cell communication. Moreover, exosomes are of interest in developing therapies for retinal vascular disorders because they can deliver various substances to cellular targets. According to recent research, exosomes can be used as a strategy for managing retinal vascular diseases, and they are being investigated for therapeutic purposes in eye conditions, including glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, retinal ischemia, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. However, the role of exosomal noncoding RNA in retinal vascular diseases is not fully understood. Here, we reviewed the latest research on the biological role of exosomal noncoding RNA in treating retinal vascular diseases. Research has shown that noncoding RNAs, including microRNAs, circular RNAs, and long noncoding RNAs play a significant role in the regulation of retinal vascular diseases. Furthermore, through exosome engineering, the expression of relevant noncoding RNAs in exosomes can be controlled to regulate retinal vascular diseases. Therefore, this review suggests that exosomal noncoding RNA could be considered as a biomarker for diagnosis and as a therapeutic target for treating retinal vascular disease.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) refers to a large class of RNAs with over 200 nucleotides that do not have the function of encoding proteins. In recent years, more and more literature has revealed that lncRNA is involved in manipulating genes related to human health and disease, playing outstanding biological functions, which has attracted widespread attention from researchers. The newly discovered long-stranded non-coding RNA myocardial infarction-related transcript (LncRNA MIAT) is abnormally expressed in a variety of diseases, especially in diabetic complications, and has been proven to have a wide range of effects. This review article aimed to summarize the importance of LncRNA MIAT in diabetic complications, such as diabetic cardiomyopathy, diabetic nephropathy, and diabetic retinopathy, and highlight the latest findings on the pathway and mechanism of its participation in regulating diabetic complications, which may aid in finding new intervention targets for the treatment of diabetic complications. LncRNA MIAT competitively binds microRNAs to regulate gene expression as competitive endogenous RNAs. Thus, this review article has reviewed the biological function and pathogenesis of LncRNA MIAT in diabetic complications and described its role in diabetic complications. This paper will help in finding new therapeutic targets and intervention strategies for diabetes complications.

Abstract
Retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) is a vital pathological process of multiple ocular diseases. This study aimed at investigating the effects of the MIAT/miR-203-3p/SNAI2 axis on RIRI. RIRI was produced by inducing an exceedingly high intraocular pressure (IOP) in mice. Mouse retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) to mimic in vitro models. Relevant oligonucleotides or plasmids were transfected into OGD/R-induced RGCs in vitro or injected into RIRI mice models in vivo via a vitreous cavity. The findings of our paper indicated that MIAT and SNAI2 were highly expressed and miR-203-3p was lowly expressed in mouse RIRI tissues and OGD/R-induced RGCs. Interfering MIAT promoted the viability of OGD/R-induced RGCs, decreased apoptosis, and reduced oxidative stress in vitro. Silencing MIAT increased retinal neuronal cell numbers and decreased retinal neuronal cell apoptosis in mouse RIRI tissues in vivo. MIAT sponged miR-203-3p, and miR-203-3p targeted and inhibited SNAI2 expression. SNAI2 up-regulation or miR-203-3p down-regulation reversed the protective effects of MIAT down-regulation on RIRI in mice and OGD/R-induced RGCs. MIAT sponges miR-203-3p upregulated the expression of SNAI2, thereby promoting RIRI in mice. In summary, MIAT may be a therapeutic target for the treatment of chronic RIRI.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-protein coding transcripts that are longer than 200 nucleotides in length. LncRNAs are implicated in gene expression at the transcriptional, translational, and epigenetic levels, and thereby impact different cellular processes including cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and immune response. In recent years, numerous studies have demonstrated the significant contribution of lncRNAs to the pathogenesis and progression of various diseases, such as stroke, heart disease, and cancer. Further investigations have shown that lncRNAs have altered expression patterns in ocular tissues and cell lines during pathological conditions. The pathogenesis of various ocular diseases, including glaucoma, cataract, corneal diseases, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, and retinoblastoma, is influenced by the involvement of specific lncRNAs which play a critical role in the development and progression of these diseases. Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is a well-researched lncRNA in the context of ocular diseases, which has been shown to exert its biological effects through several signaling pathways and downstream targets. The present review provides a comprehensive summary of the molecular mechanisms underlying the biological functions and roles of MALAT1 in ocular diseases.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and its significant ramifications make out one of the primary reasons behind morbidity worldwide. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs, are involved in regulating manifold biological processes, including diabetes initiation and progression. One of the established pathways attributed to DM development is NF-κB signaling. Neurons, β cells, adipocytes, and hepatocytes are among the metabolic tissues where NF-κB is known to produce a range of inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. The direct or indirect role of ncRNAs such as lncRNAs and miRNAs on the NF-κB signaling pathway and DM development has been supported by many studies. As a result, effective diabetes treatment and preventive methods will benefit from a comprehensive examination of the interplay between NF-κB and ncRNAs. Herein, we provide a concise overview of the role of NF-κB-mediated signaling pathways in diabetes mellitus and its consequences. The reciprocal regulation of ncRNAs and the NF-κB signaling pathway in diabetes is then discussed, shedding light on the pathogenesis of the illness and its possible therapeutic interventions.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:14592. [PMID: 36361470 PMCID: PMC9658836 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192114592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 11/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the possible correlation between the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) and the clinical characteristics of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Four loci of HOTAIR SNPs, including rs920778 (T/C), rs12427129 (C/T), rs4759314 (A/G), and rs1899663 (G/T), were genotyped via the TaqMan allelic discrimination for 276 DR individuals and 452 non-DR patients. The distribution frequency of HOTAIR SNP rs12427129 CT [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.571, 95% CI: 1.025-2.408, p = 0.038], HOTAIR SNP rs12427129 CT+TT (AOR: 1.611, 95% CI: 1.061-2.446, p = 0.025), and HOTAIR SNP rs1899663 TT (AOR: 2.443, 95% CI: 1.066-5.595, p = 0.035) were significantly higher in the DR group. Moreover, the proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) subgroup revealed a significantly higher distribution of HOTAIR SNP rs12427129 CT+TT (AOR: 2.016, 95% CI: 1.096-3.710, p = 0.024) and HOTAIR SNP rs1899663 TT (AOR: 4.693, 95% CI: 1.765-12.479, p = 0.002), and the distribution frequencies of HOTAIR SNP rs12427129 CT (AOR: 3.722, 95% CI: 1.555-8.909, p = 0.003), HOTAIR SNP rs12427129 CT+TT (AOR: 4.070, 95% CI: 1.725-9.600, p = 0.001), and HOTAIR SNP rs1899663 TT (AOR: 11.131, 95% CI: 1.521-81.490, p = 0.018) were significantly higher in the female PDR subgroup. Regarding the clinical characters, the DR patients with HOTAIR SNP rs1899663 GT+TT revealed a significantly shorter duration of diabetes compared to the DR patients with HOTAIR SNP rs1899663 GG (10.54 ± 8.19 versus 12.79 ± 7.73, p = 0.024). In conclusion, HOTAIR SNP rs12427129 and rs1899663 are strongly correlated to the presence of DR, especially for a female with PDR.
