Adipose tissue gene expression of long non-coding RNAs; MALAT1, TUG1 in obesity: is it associated with metabolic profile and lipid homeostasis-related genes expression?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent studies point toward the possible regulatory roles of two lncRNAs; metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) and taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) in the pathogenesis of obesity-related disorders and regulation of lipogenesis and adipogenesis. In an attempt to understand the molecules involved in human obesity pathogenesis, we aimed to evaluate the expression of MALAT1 and TUG1 in visceral adipose tissues (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissues (SAT) of obese women, as compared to normal-weight women. The mRNA expression of possible target genes including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), PPARγ coactivator-1 alpha (PGC1α), sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and acetyl-CoA
