The novel long noncoding RNA Lnc19959.2 modulating triglyceride metabolism associated genes through interaction with Purb and hnRNPA2B1 (RNA-seq data set)

High triglycerides can lead to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are currently consider to have vital and wide range of biological functions, but the molecular mechanism underlying TG metabolism remains poorly understood. To identify novel lncRNAs differentially expressed in rat liver with hypertriglyceridemia using transcriptome sequencing and elucidated the function role in TG metabolism. In our study, we identified a novel lncRNA, Lnc19959.2, which was highly expression in rat liver with hypertriglyceridemia. Knockdown of lnc19959.2 has profound TG lowering effects in vitro and vivo. Subsequently genome-wide analysis identified that knockdown of Lnc19959.2 caused deregulation of many genes during TG homeostasis. Further mechanism studies reveal that Lnc19959.2 specifically bound to Purb to up-regulate expression of Apoa4, while bound to hnRNPA2B1 to down-regulate the expression of Cpt1a, Tm7sf2 and Gpam, respectively. In the upstream pathway, palmitate acid up-regulated CCAAT/Enhancer-Binding Protein Beta (Cebpb) facilitates its binding to promoter region of Lnc19959.2, which resulted in significant promotion of lnc19959.2 transcriptional activity. Our findings provide novel insights into transcriptional regulation of TG homeostasis by a novel lncRNA. This newly identified lncRNA could be exploited as novel therapeutic targets for hypertriglyceridemia.
