LID - 10.1042/BSR20210495 [doi] LID - BSR20210495 AB - For a global epidemic like Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), while impaired gene regulation is identified as a primary cause of aberrant cellular physiology; in the past few years, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of cellular metabolism. However, there are no reports of comprehensive in-depth cross-talk between these regulatory elements and the potential consequences in the skeletal muscle during diabetes. Here, using RNA sequencing, we identified 465 mRNAs and 12 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), to be differentially regulated in the skeletal muscle of diabetic mice and pathway enrichment analysis of these altered transcripts revealed pathways of insulin, FOXO and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling to be majorly over-represented. Construction of networks showed that these pathways significantly interact with each other that might underlie aberrant skeletal muscle metabolism during diabetes. Gene-gene interaction network depicted strong interactions among several differentially expressed genes (DEGs) namely, Prkab2, Irs1, Pfkfb3, Socs2 etc. Seven altered lncRNAs depicted multiple interactions with the altered transcripts, suggesting possible regulatory roles of these lncRNAs. Inverse patterns of expression were observed between several of the deregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) and the differentially expressed transcripts in the tissues. Towards validation, overexpression of miR-381-3p and miR-539-5p in skeletal muscle C2C12 cells significantly decreased the transcript levels of their targets, Nfkbia, Pik3r1 and Pi3kr1, Cdkn2d, respectively. Collectively, the findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the interactions and cross-talk between the ncRNome and transcriptome in the skeletal muscle during diabetes and put forth potential therapeutic options for improving insulin sensitivity.
