Long noncoding RNA IL6‐AS1 is upregulated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is interrelated to interleukin 6 via sponging miR‐149‐5p and regulating early B‐cell factor 1 expression31; Long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) DLEU2 can drive epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) genes and glycolysis in endometrial cancer through modulating the miR‐455/HK2 and EZH2/miR‐181a pathway.32 Here, IL6 is linked to endometrial cancer.
