Small interfering RNA (siRNA) as a potential gene silencing strategy for diabetes and associated complications: challenges and future perspectives. J Diabetes Metab Disord 2024; 23:365-383. [PMID: 38932822 PMCID: PMC11196550 DOI: 10.1007/s40200-024-01405-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Objective This article critically reviews the recent search on the use of Small Interfering RNA (siRNA) in the process of gene regulation that has been harnessed to silence specific genes in various cell types, including those involved in diabetes complications. Significance Diabetes, a prevalent and severe condition, poses life-threatening risks due to elevated blood glucose levels. It results from inadequate insulin production by the pancreas or ineffective insulin utilization by the body. Recent research suggests siRNA could hold promise in addressing diabetes complications. Methods In this review, we discussed several subjects, including diabetes; its function, and common treatment options. An in-depth analysis of gene silencing method for siRNA and role of siRNA in diabetes, focusing on its impact on glucose homeostasis, diabetic retinopathy, wound healing, diabetic nephropathy and peripheral neuropathy, diabetic foot ulcers, diabetic atherosclerosis, and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Result siRNA-based treatment has the potential to target specific genes without disrupting several other endogenous pathways, which decreases the risk of off-target effects. In addition, siRNA has the capability to provide long-term efficacy with a single dose which will reduce treatment options and enhance patient compliance. Conclusion In the context of diabetic complications, siRNA has been explored as a potential therapeutic tool to modulate the expression of genes involved in various processes associated with diabetes-related issues such as Diabetic Retinopathy, Neuropathy, Nephropathy, wound healing. The use of siRNA in these contexts is still largely experimental, and challenges such as delivery to specific tissues, potential off-target effects, and long-term safety need to be addressed. Additionally, the development of siRNA-based therapies for clinical use in diabetic complications is an active area of research.

The relevance of the superior cervical ganglion for cardiac autonomic innervation in health and disease: a systematic review. Clin Auton Res 2024; 34:45-77. [PMID: 38393672 PMCID: PMC10944423 DOI: 10.1007/s10286-024-01019-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The heart receives cervical and thoracic sympathetic contributions. Although the stellate ganglion is considered the main contributor to cardiac sympathetic innervation, the superior cervical ganglia (SCG) is used in many experimental studies. The clinical relevance of the SCG to cardiac innervation is controversial. We investigated current morphological and functional evidence as well as controversies on the contribution of the SCG to cardiac innervation. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and COCHRANE Library. Included studies received a full/text review and quality appraisal. RESULTS Seventy-six eligible studies performed between 1976 and 2023 were identified. In all species studied, morphological evidence of direct or indirect SCG contribution to cardiac innervation was found, but its contribution was limited. Morphologically, SCG sidedness may be relevant. There is indirect functional evidence that the SCG contributes to cardiac innervation as shown by its involvement in sympathetic overdrive reactions in cardiac disease states. A direct functional contribution was not found. Functional data on SCG sidedness was largely unavailable. Information about sex differences and pre- and postnatal differences was lacking. CONCLUSION Current literature mainly supports an indirect involvement of the SCG in cardiac innervation, via other structures and plexuses or via sympathetic overdrive in response to cardiac diseases. Morphological evidence of a direct involvement was found, but its contribution seems limited. The relevance of SCG sidedness, sex, and developmental stage in health and disease remains unclear and warrants further exploration.

Long noncoding RNA NONHSAG045500 regulates serotonin transporter to ameliorate depressive-like behavior via the cAMP-PKA-CREB signaling pathway in a model of perinatal depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Perinatal depression (PND) is the most common complication of childbirth and negatively affects the mother. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) NONHSAG045500 inhibits the expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) transporter (i.e. serotonin transporter [SERT]) and produces an antidepressant effect. This study aimed to identify a link between the lncRNA NONHSAG045500 and the pathogenesis of PND. METHODS Female C57BL/6 J mice were divided into normal control group (control group, n = 15), chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) model group (PND group, n = 15), lncRNA NONHSAG045500-overexpressed group (LNC group, sublingual intravenous injection of NONHSAG045500 overexpression cells for 7 days, n = 15), and escitalopram treatment group (i.e. the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor [SSRI] group, with escitalopram administered from the 10th day after pregnancy to the 10th day after delivery, n = 15). Control group mice were conceived normally, whereas, in the other groups, a CUS model was established before mice were conceived. Depressive-like behaviour was assessed via sucrose preference, forced swimming, and open-field tests. The expression levels of 5-HT, SERT, and cAMP-PKA-CREB pathway-related proteins in the prefrontal cortex were detected on the 10th day after delivery. RESULTS Mice in the PND group exhibited significant depressive-like behaviours compared with those in the control group, indicating that the PND model was successfully established. The expression of lncRNA NONHSAG045500 was markedly decreased in the PND group compared with that in the control group. After treatment, both LNC and SSRI groups showed a significant improvement in depression-like behaviour, and the expression of 5-HT in the prefrontal cortex was increased in these groups compared with that in the PND group. In addition, the LNC group displayed lower expression of SERT and higher expression of cAMP, PKA, and CREB when in comparison to PND group. CONCLUSION NONHSAG045500 mediates the development of PND mainly by activating the cAMP-PKA-CREB pathway, increasing the level of 5-HT, and decreasing the expression of SERT.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is on the rise, necessitating the development of novel therapeutic and preventive strategies to mitigate the disease's debilitating effects. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCMP) is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients globally. DCMP manifests as cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, apoptosis, and myocardial interstitial fibrosis before progressing to heart failure. Evidence suggests that non-coding RNAs, such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs), regulate diabetic cardiomyopathy-related processes such as insulin resistance, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and inflammation, emphasizing their heart-protective effects. This paper reviewed the literature data from animal and human studies on the non-trivial roles of miRNAs and lncRNAs in the context of DCMP in diabetes and demonstrated their future potential in DCMP treatment in diabetic patients.

Implication of P2Y 12 receptor in uc.48+-mediated abnormal sympathoexcitatory reflex via superior cervical ganglia in myocardial ischemic rats. Eur J Pharmacol 2022; 927:175049. [PMID: 35644421 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2022.175049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Purinergic 2Y12 (P2Y12) receptor antagonists are used as platelet aggregation inhibitors. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in neuropathological events. Satellite glial cells (SGCs) in the superior cervical ganglia (SCGs) encircle the somata of neurons. This study explored if the upregulated P2Y12 receptor in SCGs was relevant to lncRNA uc.48+ during myocardial ischemia (MI). The results showed that upregulation of P2Y12 receptor was accompanied by increased expression of uc.48+ in the SCGs of MI rats which displayed abnormal changes in cervical sympathetic nerve activity, blood pressure, heart rate, electrocardiograms and cardiac tissue structure. The P2Y12 antagonist clopidogrel improved abnormal alterations in cardiac function and tissue structure in MI rats. Short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against uc.48+ significantly inhibited P2Y12 receptor upregulation and its co-expression with glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in SCGs, and ameliorated the cardiac dysfunction in MI rats. By contrast, overexpression of uc.48+ increased the expression of P2Y12 in SCGs and enhanced cervical sympathetic nerve activity in control rats. Direct interaction between uc.48+ and the P2Y12 receptor was predicted using the bioinformatic tool CatRAPID and confirmed by RNA immunoprecipitation. Moreover, overexpression of the P2Y12 receptor reversed the protective effect of uc.48+ shRNA on cardiac dysfunction in MI rats. Uc.48 shRNA treatment also inhibited the enhanced rise of intracellular free Ca2+ level ([Ca2+]i) evoked by the P2Y12 agonist 2-methylthio-adenosine-5'-diphosphate (2-MeSADP) in SGCs of SCGs after oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) treatment. These data demonstrated that uc.48+ shRNA could counteract the P2Y12 upregulation and improve P2Y12-implicated cardiac dysfunction due to MI.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have showed that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were associated with heart rate variability (HRV), but the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the association is unknown. We aimed to identify PAHs-related lncRNAs and assess their associations with HRV among coke oven workers. Differential lncRNAs expression between 12 exposed workers and 12 controls was tested by Human 8X60k LncRNA Arrays in discovery stage, then selected NR_024564 was validated in 353 workers using droplet digital RT-PCR. Microarray results showed that 1234 lncRNAs were downregulated with 805 lncRNAs upregulated in exposed group (≥ 2-fold change). In validation stage, no significant association was observed between NR_024564 and PAH exposure or HRV in total subjects, while urinary 2-hydroxyfluorene (2-OHFlu) was inversely related to root mean square successive difference (RMSSD). However, in current smokers, NR_024564 was inversely related to urinary 2-OHFlu, 2-hydroxyphenanthrene, 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP), and total PAHs metabolites (ΣOH-PAHs), of which 1-OHP accounted for the strongest estimation for interaction with smoking status (Pinteraction = 0.011). Also, the positive associations of NR_024564 with RMSSD and high frequency power showed an interaction with smoking status (Pinteraction = 0.034 and 0.023, respectively). Also, urinary 2-OHFlu and ΣOH-PAHs were inversely associated with RMSSD in current smokers. In addition, elevated NR_024564 was dose-responsive related to increased RMSSD in above high-PAHs groups among smokers (all Ptrend < 0.05). Our results revealed that NR_024564 and its interactions with smoking status might act as novel mechanisms regulating the adverse effects of PAHs on HRV.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. Few single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with risk of cervical cancer have been identified, yet genetic predisposition contributes significantly to this malignancy. Long noncoding RNA LINC00673 has been widely explored for its role in the development and prognosis of many tumors, and 2 genome-wide association studies identified that LINC00673 rs11655237 was associated with susceptibility to pancreatic cancer. In the current study, using a case–control study design, we found rs11655237 significantly increased susceptibility of cervical cancer in a Chinese population (odds ratio = 1.27; 95% confidence interval = 1.08-1.50; P = .005). Expression of LINC00673 was significantly higher in adjacent normal tissues than in paired cancer tissues (P < .01) and significantly lower in the cancer or paired adjacent normal tissues of patients with cervical cancer having rs11655237 allele A than in those having rs11655237 allele G (P < .001). Our results indicate that LINC00673 rs11655237 is associated with increased risk of cervical cancer, possibly by downregulating LINC00673 expression in cervical tissues.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a principal health problem with increasing incidence worldwide. It can be associated with various systemic diseases. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), a member of non-coding RNA has been newly linked with various human diseases. Recent evidence from animal experiments has shown that the incidence and development of type 2 diabetes are contributed by the atypical expression of lncRNA in which the biomarker with capable clinical potential was lncRNA NONRATT021972. In this review, we demonstrated the numerous functions of NONRATT021972 in different diabetes-related diseases including diabetic neuropathy, diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy, myocardial ischemia, and hepatic glucokinase dysfunction. The emerging evidence shows that the role of NONRATT021972 in diabetic-related disease is novel and therapeutic. These results direct us to conclude that NONRATT021972 is a potential diagnostic and future targeted therapy for diabetes-associated diseases.

Abstract
A major part of the genome is known to be transcribed into non-protein coding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNA and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). The importance of ncRNAs is being increasingly recognized in physiological and pathological processes. lncRNAs are a novel class of ncRNAs that do not code for proteins and are important regulators of gene expression. In the past, these molecules were thought to be transcriptional "noise" with low levels of evolutionary conservation. However, recent studies provide strong evidence indicating that lncRNAs are (i) regulated during various cellular processes, (ii) exhibit cell type-specific expression, (iii) localize to specific organelles, and (iv) associated with human diseases. Emerging evidence indicates an aberrant expression of lncRNAs in diabetes and diabetes-related microvascular complications. In the present review, we discuss the current state of knowledge of lncRNAs, their genesis from genome, and the mechanism of action of individual lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of microvascular complications of diabetes and therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
This study investigated the interaction among valsartan (VAL), TGF-β pathways, and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) cardiac hypertrophy-related factor (CHRF) in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced heart failure (HF), and explored their roles in DOX-induced HF progression. HF mice models in vivo were constructed by DOX induction. The expression of CHRF and TGF-β1 in hearts was detected, along with cardiac function, caspase-3 activity, and cell apoptosis. Primary myocardial cells were pretreated with VAL, followed by DOX induction in vitro for functional studies, including the detection of cell apoptosis with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling and the expression of proteins associated with TGF-β1 pathways. HF models were established in vivo and in vitro. Expression of CHRF and TGF-β1 was up-regulated, and cell apoptosis and caspase-3 activity were increased in the hearts and cells of the HF models. VAL supplementation alleviated the cardiac dysfunction and injury in the HF process. Moreover, overexpressed CHRF up-regulated TGF-β1, promoted myocardial cell apoptosis, and reversed VAL's cardiac protective effect, while interference of CHRF (si-CHRF) did the opposite. Down-regulation of CHRF reversed the increased expression of TGF-β1 and the downstream proteins induced by pcDNA-TGF-β1 in HL-1 cells, while overexpression of CHRF reversed the VAL's cardiac protective effect in vivo. In conclusion, VAL regulates TGF-β pathways through lncRNA CHRF to improve DOX-induced HF.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus results in a systemic milieu of increased circulating glucose and fatty acids. The development of insulin resistance in cardiac tissue decreases cellular glucose import and enhances mitochondrial fatty acid uptake. While triacylglycerol and cytotoxic lipid species begin to accumulate in the cardiomyocyte, the energy substrate utilization ratio of free fatty acids to glucose changes to almost entirely free fatty acids. Accumulating evidence suggests a role of miRNA in mediating this metabolic transition. Energy substrate metabolism, apoptosis, and the production and response to excess reactive oxygen species are regulated by miRNA expression. The current momentum for understanding the dynamics of miRNA expression is limited by a lack of understanding of how miRNA expression is controlled. While miRNAs are important regulators in both normal and pathological states, an additional layer of complexity is added when regulation of miRNA regulators is considered. miRNA expression is known to be regulated through a number of mechanisms, which include, but are not limited to, epigenetics, exosomal transport, processing, and posttranscriptional sequestration. The purpose of this review is to outline how mitochondrial processes are regulated by miRNAs in the diabetic heart. Furthermore, we will highlight the regulatory mechanisms, such as epigenetics, exosomal transport, miRNA processing, and posttranslational sequestration, that participate as regulators of miRNA expression. Additionally, current and future treatment strategies targeting dysfunctional mitochondrial processes in the diseased myocardium, as well as emerging miRNA-based therapies, will be summarized.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are a class of endogenous RNA molecules, which have a transcribing length of over 200 nt, lack a complete functional open reading frame (ORF), and rarely encode a functional short peptide. Recent studies have revealed that disruption of LncRNAs levels correlates with several human diseases, including diabetes mellitus (DM), a complex multifactorial metabolic disorder affecting more than 400 million people worldwide. LncRNAs are emerging as pivotal regulators in various biological processes, in the progression of DM and its associated complications, involving pancreatic β-cell disorder, insulin resistance, and epigenetic regulation, etc. Further investigation into the mechanisms of action of LncRNAs in DM will be of great value in the thorough understanding of pathogenesis. However, prior to successful application of LncRNAs, further search for molecular biomarkers and drug targets to provide a new strategy for DM prevention, early diagnosis, and therapy is warranted.
