Bioinformatic analysis of data, obtained from publicly accessible datasets, exhibits the correlated expression between HOTAIR and HOXC11 gene, a gene located near sequence of HOTAIR and dysregulated in CKD, thus indicating that HOTAIR in podocytes may participate in the development of CKD and even renal fibrosis through the regulation of HOXC11 in cis [71]. Here, HOXC11 is linked to renal fibrosis.
