LINC01705在代谢功能障碍相关脂肪性肝病中的作用机制研究进展

Research progress on the mechanism of LINC01705 in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease

  • 摘要: 代谢功能障碍相关脂肪性肝病(MASLD)已成为全球最常见的慢性肝病,疾病负担沉重。长链非编码核糖核酸(lncRNA)已被证实广泛参与脂质代谢调控,但现有研究多聚焦于肝内源性lncRNA,而脂肪组织来源的lncRNA经外泌体介导的跨器官途径影响肝脏脂质代谢的机制尚不明确。长链基因间非编码RNA01705(LINC01705)是新发现的功能性lncRNA,由脂肪细胞产生,在高糖等代谢应激条件下被包装入外泌体并递送至肝细胞,通过竞争性内源核糖核酸(ceRNA)机制吸附微小RNA(miR)-552-3p,解除其对肝X受体α的转录抑制,激活下游脂质合成通路,促进肝细胞内脂质沉积。文章聚焦于LINC01705这一特定分子,围绕其“脂肪细胞源性、外泌体介导、肝脏靶向”的跨器官调控特征,系统梳理该分子在MASLD发生发展中的生物学特性与调控机制,从分子层面探讨脂肪组织与肝脏之间的关系及临床意义,以期为该领域研究提供参考。

     

    Abstract: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, imposing a substantial disease burden. Long non-coding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) have been demonstrated to be extensively involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism. However, current studies have mainly focused on liver-derived lncRNA, while the mechanism by which adipose tissue-derived lncRNA affects hepatic lipid metabolism through exosome-mediated inter-organ pathways remains unclear. LINC01705 is a newly identified functional lncRNA produced by adipocytes. Under metabolic stress conditions such as high glucose, LINC01705 is packaged into exosomes and delivered to hepatocytes, where it sponges microRNA (miR)-552-3p through a competing endogenous RNA mechanism, thereby relieving the transcriptional repression of liver X receptor α, activating downstream lipogenic pathways, and promoting lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. This article focuses on LINC01705 and systematically reviews its biological characteristics and regulatory mechanisms in the development and progression of MASLD, with particular emphasis on its inter-organ regulatory features of being “adipocyte-derived, exosome-mediated and liver-targeted”. The relationship between adipose tissue and the liver and its clinical significance are further explored at the molecular level, with the aim of providing a reference for research in this field.
