RARA and Sepsis: Seven lncRNAs, including LINC00861, LINC01278, RARA-AS1, RP11-156P1.3, RP11-264B17.3, RP11-284N8.3 and XLOC_011309, as well as their co-expressed cell death genes, were finally identified, and we validated two lncRNAs (LINC00861 and LINC01278) and four mRNA targets using qRT-PCR in sepsis samples.
