Based on previous studies reporting the participation of several MALAT1-sponged miRNAs, including miR-205 and miR204, in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) (Li et al., 2016; Chen et al., 2018), Wang et al. investigated the potential involvement of these miRNAs in their model of sepsis-induced AKI and the effects of resveratrol (Wang et al., 2021). The gene discussed is MALAT1; the disease is Sepsis.
