Seventeen out of ninety-nine lncRNAs were commonly modulated in LPS-treated CD14+ transcriptome and SLE PBMCs compared to healthy controls (Figure S1A), and only three lncRNAs, namely NRIR, PSMB8-AS1 and RP5-1091N2.9, were modulated in all the three datasets (i.e., LPS-treated CD14+ monocytes, SSc CD14+ monocytes and PBMC from SLE patients) (Figure S1B). Here, PSMB8 is linked to systemic lupus erythematosus.
