Long non-coding RNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript (LncRNA MIAT) sponged miR-181a-5p to enhance the expression of JAK2 and thus increased the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway to induce inflammation and apoptosis in oxygen-glucose deprivation-induced cardiomyocyte (19). The gene discussed is JAK2; the disease is myocardial infarction.
