A recent study by Sun and coworkers revealed that the opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1) lncRNA inhibits sepsis-induced myocardial injury by regulating the miR192-5p/X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) axis (Sun et al., 2020). The gene discussed is KCNQ1OT1; the disease is Sepsis.
