The mRNA levels of both STING and MALAT1 were greatly increased in BPD patients, compared with those in normal subjects (Figure 1B: mean ± SD =1.022 ± 0.1106 vs 6.459 ± 0.9367, P < 0.001; Figure 1C: mean ± SD = 1.578 ± 0.3565 vs 5.451 ± 0.75, P < 0.001). The gene discussed is MALAT1; the disease is bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
