We first found that HIV-1 infection markedly upregulated the expression of several lincRNAs in the T cell lines, of which HEAL, linc8790, linc7932, linc4116, and linc5304 were the most increased in MT4 cells, whereas HEAL, linc4116, and linc5304 were most highly increased in H9 cells (data not shown). Here, LINC02574 is linked to HIV-1 infection.
