MALAT1 and injury: In addition, LncRNA MALAT1 exerts its inflammation-promoting effects through modulating miR-181c-5p [32], miR-26b [33], and miR-590 [34], and Dai et al. notice that knock-down of LncRNA MALAT1 releases miR-146a to ameliorate LPS-induced acute lung injury [35], and LncRNA MALAT1 regulates LPS-induced cytokines secretions in human gingival fibroblasts by sponging miR-20a [36].
