Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a prevalent diabetes mellitus (Feldman et al., 2017) complication and the primary reason for amputation. Meanwhile, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a type of regulatory non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that broadly participate in DPN development. However, the correlation of lncRNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) with DPN remains unclear. In this study, we were interested in the role of XIST in the modulation of DPN progression. Significantly, our data showed that the expression of XIST and sirtuin1 (SIRT1) was inhibited, and the expression of microRNA-30d-5p (miR-30d-5p) was enhanced in the trigeminal sensory neurons of the diabetic mice compared with the normal mice. The levels of LC3II and Beclin-1 were inhibited in the diabetic mice. The treatment of high glucose (HG) reduced the XIST expression in Schwann cells. The apoptosis of Schwann cells was enhanced in the HG-treated cells, but the overexpression of XIST could block the effect in the cells. Moreover, the levels of LC3II and Beclin-1 were reduced in the HG-treated Schwann cells, while the overexpression of XIST was able to reverse this effect. The HG treatment promoted the production of oxidative stress, while the XIST overexpression could attenuate this result in the Schwann cells. Mechanically, XIST was able to sponge miR-30d-5p and miR-30d-5p-targeted SIRT1 in the Schwann cells. MiR-30d-5p inhibited autophagy and promoted oxidative stress in the HG-treated Schwann cells, and SIRT1 presented a reversed effect. MiR-30d-5p mimic or SIRT1 depletion could reverse XIST overexpression-mediated apoptosis and autophagy of the Schwann cells. Thus, we concluded that XIST attenuated DPN by inducing autophagy through miR-30d-5p/SIRT1 axis. XIST and miR-30d-5p may be applied as the potential targets for DPN therapy.

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN); however, the mechanism underlying this association remains unknown. This study is aimed at examining neurofunctional and histopathological alterations in a type 2 diabetes (T2DM) mouse model of SCH and investigating the impact of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in an in vitro DPN cell model established using RSC96 cells under high glucose (HG) and palmitic acid (PA) stimulation. Our results indicated that T2DM, in combination with SCH, aggravated abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism in T2DM and dramatically destroyed the peripheral nervous system by increasing paw withdrawal latency, decreasing motor nerve conduction velocity, and exacerbating ultrastructural deterioration of the damaged sciatic nerve caused by diabetes. Furthermore, the results of our in vitro experiments showed that TSH intensified HG/PA-induced RSC96 cell damage by inducing oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis. More importantly, TSHR knockout or inhibition of PA-induced TSHR palmitoylation could alleviate the apoptosis induced by TSH. Overall, in this study, the novel mechanisms by which TSH, as an independent risk factor for DPN progression, aggravating Schwann cell apoptosis and demyelination, are elucidated. These findings indicate that TSHR could be a potential target for both the prevention and treatment of DPN and, possibly, other microvascular diseases, and have implication in the clinical management of patients with DPN.
