SOCS2 and atherosclerosis: We identified a number of differentially expressed linear lncRNAs (Figure 3) that were not previously identified as being associated with advanced aging; among the validated lncRNAs, SOCS2‐AS1 was proposed to sponge microRNAs in tumor progression models (Jian et al., 2021; Zheng et al., 2020), and MIAT controls the development of the atherosclerotic lesion and plaque destabilization in atherosclerosis (Fasolo et al., 2021).
