摘要
The progression of Type 2 diabetes is accompanied by diminishing islet beta-cell mass and function. It has been proposed that beta-cells are lost not only through apoptosis, but also by dedifferentiating into progenitor-like cells. There is therefore much interest in the mechanisms which define and maintain beta-cell identity. The advent of genome-wide analyses of chromatin modifications has highlighted the role of epigenetic factors in determining cell identity. There is also evidence from both human populations and animal models for an epigenetic component in susceptibility to Type 2 diabetes. The mechanisms responsible for defining the epigenetic landscape in individual cell types are poorly understood, but there is growing evidence of a role for IncRNAs (long non-coding RNAs) in this process. In the present paper, we discuss some of the mechanisms through which IncRNAs may contribute to beta-cell identity and Type 2 diabetes risk.
