To unravel this point, Mo and colleagues compared the expression of the long intergenic noncoding (linc)RNA gastric adenocarcinoma-associated, a positive CD44 regulator and long intergenic non-coding RNA (GAPLINC), a positive CD44 regulator, in FLSs obtained from RA patients with those derived from patients suffering from common traumatic injury. This evidence concerns the gene CD44 and gastric adenocarcinoma.
