The correlation of miR‐125a with lnc‐MALAT1 was further analyzed in sepsis patients and healthy controls, respectively, which observed that lnc‐MALAT1 relative expression was negatively associated with miR‐125a relative expression in sepsis patients (r = −.470, P < .001) (Figure 1D), while there was no association between lnc‐MALAT1 relative expression and miR‐125a in healthy controls (r = −.110, P = .125) (Figure 1E). Here, MALAT1 is linked to Sepsis.
