Abstract:

With the continued increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, diabetes-induced microvascular and macrovascular diseases have attracted much attention. Vascular complications and diabetes mortality are directly related. Microvascular disease is an important complication of diabetic vascular complications. At present, the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus is still unclear. Diabetic microvascular disease is mainly related to the formation of hyperglycemia-related glucoside toxicity products and its interference with cell signaling pathway, which causes endothelial dysfunction. The human genome contains abundant RNA sequences that are highly transcribed but not translated into proteins, which help to control and regulate cell function through different mechanisms. A class of non-coding RNA-lncRNA (long non-coding RNA) with length> 200 nucleotides gradually entered the line of sight. Among them, MALAT1 (lung adenocarcinoma-associated transcript 1) was initially found as a tumor-associated lncRNA, also known as noncoding nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 2 (NEAT2), involved in the regulation of gene expression splicing and controlling epigenetics. Recent studies have found that MALAT1 is also involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic microangiopathy. Further study may provide the appropriate strategy for the prevention and treatment of diabetic complications.

Key words: lncRNA, MALAT1, Diabetes mellitus, Microvascular complication
