For instance, knockdown of the lncRNA NORAD promoted oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced endothelial cell senescence and atherosclerosis [23].Similarly, the LncRNA SNHG14 could promote atherosclerosis by regulating the VSMC cell apoptosis/proliferation balance in atherosclerosis by sponging miR-19a-3p [24]. Here, NORAD is linked to atherosclerosis.
