It showed that some lncRNAs could bind to specific miRNAs that related to HF cycling to protect the target mRNAs from repression and thus play an important role in HF biology as ceRNAs, such as miR-34a-lnc_000181-GATA3 and miR-214-3p-lnc_000344-SMAD3 ceRNA networks (Fig. 6). This evidence concerns the gene SMAD3 and hydrops fetalis.
