Moreover, a number of studies have demonstrated the functional roles of several lncRNAs, including NEAT1, MALAT1, HOXA-AS2, and SLEAR, in SLE according to in vitro loss-of-function and gain-of-function strategies (Fan et al., 2020; Wu et al., 2020; Yang et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2016). The gene discussed is NEAT1; the disease is systemic lupus erythematosus.
