Among them, anti-sense non-coding RNA in INK4 locus (ANRIL), MALAT1,H19, N1LR, the maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3), CaMK2D-associated transcript 1 (C2dat1), taurine up-regulated gene 1 (TUG1),small nucleolar RNA host gene 14 (SNHG14), and Fos downstream transcript (FosDT) were shown to affect angiogenesis, cell death, cell apoptosis, as well as inflammation in the course of ischemic stroke (Table 1, Fig. 2). Here, SNHG14 is linked to ischemic stroke.
