Abstract
Introduction: The pathology mechanism of subclinical hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism complicated with type 2 diabetes remained uncertain. We aimed to find potential related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs in the above diseases.
Material and methods: Transcriptome sequencing was performed in three patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (S), three patients with subclinical hypothyroidism complicated with type 2 diabetes (SD), and three healthy controls (N). Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were screened in S vs. N, SD vs. N, and SD vs. S group, and the nearby and co-expressed DEmRNAs of DElncRNAs were screened in S vs. N and SD vs. N. Moreover, functional analysis of DEmRNAs was then performed by Metascape.
Results: In total, 465, 1058, and 943 DEmRNAs were obtained in S vs. N, SD vs. N, SD vs. S, respectively, and 191 overlapping genes were obtained in S vs. N and SD vs. N group. Among which, LAIR2, PNMA6A, and SFRP2 were deduced to be involved in subclinical hypothyroidism, and GPR162, APOL4, and ANK1 were deduced to be associated with subclinical hypothyroidism complicated with type 2 diabetes. A total of 50, 100, and 88 DElncRNAs were obtained in S vs. N, SD vs. N and SD vs. S, respectively. Combining with the interaction network of DElncRNA-DEmRNA, PAX8-AS1, co-expressed with KIR3DL1, was identified to function in subclinical hypothyroidism, and JHDM1D-AS1, co-expressed with ANK1, was deduced to play a role in subclinical hypothyroidism complicated with type 2 diabetes.
Conclusions: Dysfunctional lncRNAs and mRNAs may be involved in the development of subclinical hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism complicated with type 2 diabetes.
