Rnf169 (a lncRNA) was also linked to two mRNAs (Foxp3 and Mef2c) and abundant in inflammatory bowel disease; transcriptional misregulation in cancer; parathyroid hormone synthesis, secretion, and action; oxytocin signaling pathway; cGMP–PKG signaling pathway; MAPK signaling pathway; Apelin signaling pathway; fluid shear stress; and atherosclerosis. This evidence concerns the gene APLN and inflammatory bowel disease.
