Snhg3 improves glucose metabolism by promoting Sestrin2 expression in mice

Objective To investigate the role of long non-coding RNA-small nucleolar RNA host gene 3(lncRNA-Snhg3) and its regulatory mechanism in the hepatic glucose metabolism of mice. Methods Adenovirus Snhg3 was over-expressed by the tail vein injection in db/db mice, and then glucose tolerance and pyruvate...

Description
Summary:Objective To investigate the role of long non-coding RNA-small nucleolar RNA host gene 3(lncRNA-Snhg3) and its regulatory mechanism in the hepatic glucose metabolism of mice. Methods Adenovirus Snhg3 was over-expressed by the tail vein injection in db/db mice, and then glucose tolerance and pyruvate tolerance were measured. The mRNA expression of mouse liver gluconeogenesis-related genes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase(Pepck) and glucose-6-phosphatase(G6pc) and stress-inducing protein 2(Sestrin2,Sesn2,a gene adjacent to Snhg3) were detected by RT-qPCR. The dual luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the effect of Snhg3 on the Sesn2 promoter activity in 293T cells. Results Snhg3 over-expression improved glucose tolerance and pyruvate tolerance in db/db mice. Snhg3 over-expression inhibited the mRNA of gluconeogenesis genes of Pepck(P<0.05) and G6pc(P<0.05), while promoted the mRNA of Sesn2(P<0.01). Meanwhile,Snhg3 over-expression promoted Sesn2 promoter activity in 293T cells(P<0.05). Conclusions Snhg3 improves glucose metabolism in mice by promoting Sestrin2 expression.
