A previous study has profiled that lncRNA prostate androgen-regulated transcript 1 (lncRNA PART1) expression was increased in lipopolysaccharide-treated human nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) and that the up-regulation of lncRNA PART1 promoted the progression of IDD via targeting miR-190a-3p [16]. The gene discussed is PART1; the disease is intervertebral disk degenerative disorder.
