MALAT1 and intervertebral disk degenerative disorder: In recent years, targeting lncRNAs with ASO technology has been applied in cancer therapy.134 For example, blockade of lncRNA MALAT1 (metastasis‐associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1) using ASO has been shown to inhibit metastasis formation after lung cancer implantation.135 It is anticipated that lncRNA ASOs could be potential candidates for treating IDD and OA.
