Abstract

This study is performed to elucidate whether long-chain noncoding RNA ANRIL has an effect on diabetes, and further explore the mechanism of ANRIL in diabetes. The rat model of diabetes was established via intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The modeled rats were grouped into normal, diabetes, siRNA-NC, and ANRIL siRNA groups. Besides, the expression of ANRIL, cardiac function, inflammatory factor levels, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and levels of oxidative stress index were all determined. Upregulated ANRIL was found in myocardial tissue of diabetic rats. Downregulated ANRIL improved cardiac function index and the expression of inflammatory factors, improved the pathological state of myocardial tissue and myocardial remodeling, decreased myocardial collagen deposition area and cardiomyocyte apoptosis and reduced the oxidative level of myocardial tissue in diabetic rats. This present study suggests that upregulated ANRIL is found in myocardial tissue of diabetic rats. Additionally, silencing of ANRIL reduces myocardial injury in diabetes by inhibiting myocardial oxidative stress.
