lncAP003419.16 is highly expressed in TGFβ1‐treated alveolar epithelial cells and IPF patients,27 in which lncAP003419.16 facilitates pulmonary fibrosis via the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway dependent on its adjacent gene ribosomal protein S6 kinase B‐2 (RPS6KB2). Here, MTOR is linked to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
