Moreover, we evaluated the correlation between lncRNA MALAT1 expression and miR‐125b expression in plasma, and found that lncRNA MALAT1 expression was negatively correlated with the miR‐125b expression in both sepsis patients (P < 0.001; Figure 3A) and HCs (P < 0.001; Figure 3B). The gene discussed is MALAT1; the disease is Sepsis.
