Meanwhile, a recent high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) study related to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), another common autoimmune disease, has revealed that lncRNA MIAT and NEAT1 probably play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of SLE by interacting with hsa-miR-145, hsa-miR-17 and hsa-miR-143 as ceRNAs [42]. The gene discussed is NEAT1; the disease is autoimmune disease.
