Inhibition of LncRNA-NEAT1 alleviates intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) dysfunction in ulcerative colitis by maintaining the homeostasis of the glucose metabolism through the miR-410-3p-LDHA axis.

ABSTRACT: Dysfunction of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) leads to intestinal epithelial barrier damage and critically involves in the pathogenesis and development of ulcerative colitis (UC). Accumulating studies revealed essential functions of non-coding RNAs in UC. LncRNA NEAT1 (long non-coding RNA nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1) is frequently dysregulated in diverse human diseases. Currently, the precise roles of NEAT1 in the dysfunction of IECs during UC remain unclear. We report NEAT1 was significantly upregulated in IECs from UC patients. In addition, microRNA-410-3p was remarkedly suppressed in IECs from UC patients. Silencing NEAT1 effectively ameliorates the LPS-induced IECs dysfunction. Bioinformatical analysis, RNA pull-down and luciferase assays illustrated that NEAT1 sponge
