Abstract:
AIM: To detect the expression levels of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)X-inactive specific transcript(XIST)and silencing information regulatory factor 2 associated enzyme 1(SIRT1)in serum of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM), and to explore their correlation with diabetic retinopathy(DR)and their diagnostic value. METHODS: Prospective study. A total of 214 patients with T2DM admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to February 2023 were selected as the research subjects. Based on whether retinopathy occurred, they were divided into 126 cases(126 eyes)in the non-DR group and 88 cases(88 eyes)in the DR group. An additional 130 healthy individuals who underwent a physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group. The serum levels of lncRNA XIST and SIRT1 in the three groups were measured and compared. The relationship between lncRNA XIST and SIRT1 expression with DR was analyzed using Pearson's method. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum lncRNA XIST, SIRT1, and their combination for DR. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the factors affecting the occurrence of DR in T2DM patients.RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the levels of serum lncRNA XIST and SIRT1 in the non-DR group and DR group were successively decreased(all P<0.05). The levels of serum lncRNA XIST and SIRT1 were positively correlated in DR patients(r=0.639, P<0.05). ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)for predicting DR by combining serum lncRNA XIST and SIRT1 was 0.940, which was higher than the AUC by serum lncRNA XIST and SIRT1 alone(0.855, 0.875). Logistic regression analysis showed that lncRNA XIST(OR=0.752)and SIRT1(OR=0.694)were influencing factors for the occurrence of DR(both P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The serum levels of lncRNA XIST and SIRT1 are both lower in DR patients, and the combination of lncRNA XIST and SIRT1 has a better assessment capacity for the occurrence of DR.
