Diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN) is a complication that affects more than 60% of diabetic patients. There is evidence for the involvement of P2X4 receptor in DCAN. This study showed that the expression of the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) UC.360+ was increased in the stellate ganglion (SG) of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) rats, and in situ hybridization revealed a clear presence of UC.360+ in SG neurons. The potential roles of UC.360+ in DCAN and its relationship with P2X4 receptor in SG were further explored via application of the short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against lncRNA UC.360+ in DM rats. The abnormal cardiac sympathetic changes in diabetic rats were improved after treatment with lncRNA UC.360+ shRNA. In the SG of these shRNA-treated DM rats, the upregulation of P2X4, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta), and phosphorylated ERK1/2 was inhibited. Thus, lncRNA UC.360+ shRNA treatment may improve DCAN mediated by the P2X4 receptor in SG.
