Whole transcriptome analysis of obese adipose tissue suggests u001kfc.1 as a potential regulator to glucose metabolism

ABSTRACT: LncRNAs are newly proposed key factors controlling brown adipogenesis and development, but their regulatory effect to white adipocyte is still merely understood. Deciphering the underlying mechanism could be a novel way to discovering potential targets of obesity. In the present study, the whole transcriptome of adipose tissues collected from obese individuals and control subjects were analyzed by HTA2.0. A stepwise network reconstruction strategy was proposed to explore lncRNA-related functional modules altered in obesity. A lncRNA named uc001kfc.1, which was recognized from the core network, was suggested to be down regulated in obesity group and might regulate glucose metabolism of adipocytes through PI3K/PTEN pathway. Our study highlighted the potential of lncRNA regulating glucose homeostasis in human adipose tissue from a global perspective, which would facilitate deeply understanding pathology of obesity as well as developing novel therapeutic targets.
