Research overview

In the present study, we characterized the plasma-derived exosomal lncRNAs expression profiles of T1DM and predict their potential function in the pathogenesis of T1DM. A better understanding of exosomal lncRNA profiling will provide novel insights into its molecular mechanisms.

Key findings

A total of 162 differentially expressed exosomal lncRNAs were identified in T1DM patients compared with control subjects, among which 77 up-regulated and 85 down-regulated.

The expression level of the selected six lncRNAs didn't show significant difference in the following qRT-PCR analysis.

Gene Ontology analysis enriched terms such as activation of phospholipase D activity, neuronal cell body membrane, and calcium sensitive guanylate cyclase activator activity for cis-acting genes of lncRNAs, and metal ion binding for trans-acting genes.

The most enriched Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways for the lncRNAs were associated with oxidative phosphorylation and Parkinson's disease for cis-acting genes, and pathways in cancer as well as focal adhesion for trans-acting genes.

Study design

Exosomal lncRNA expression profiles were detected by Illumina Hiseq platform (T1DM subjects N=10; age-, sex- matched Control subjects N=10).

Six exosomal lncRNAs were selected to validate their expression level by using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) (T1DM subjects N=30; age-, sex- matched Control subjects N=30).

Bioinformatics analysis approaches were carried out to explore the potential biological function of differentially expressed lncRNAs.
