MALAT1 and Sepsis: In addition, Malat 1 lncRNA and miR-205 were downregulated in rats with resveratrol-treated sepsis-induced acute kidney injury compared to rats not receiving treatment (Wang B. et al., 2021), the same study suggests that inhibition of lncRNA MALAT1/miR-205 by resveratrol has a protective function in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (Wang W. et al., 2021).
