Previous studies found that lnc0597 and lnc0949 expression was lower in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in SLE patients than in healthy populations, lower lncRNA GAS5 and lnc-DC in SLE plasma than in healthy controls, and higher lnc0597 levels than in healthy populations [9, 10]. Here, GAS5 is linked to systemic lupus erythematosus.
