Comparison of all mRNAs regulated twofold or greater (up or down) during COVID-19 in CD14+ monocytes and upon silencing of either lincRNA in THP1 cells (overlaps from Venn diagrams in Figs. 3E and 5A), suggested only a small overlap in the regulatory networks of PIRAT and LUCAT1 (Fig. 5H). This evidence concerns the gene LUCAT1 and COVID-19.
