Intriguingly, upregulation of all three lncRNAs in the ceRNA networks was closely correlated with cell apoptosis and the inflammatory response [55,56,57,58], as they had been reported to increase the expression level of NF-κB (Figure 9), indicating NF-κB pathway activation in OSA. The gene discussed is NFKB1; the disease is obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
