Through RNA sequencing and Bioinformatics prediction, Qian and colleagues created a miRNA‐mRN‐lncRNA ternary interaction network in nonsmoking COPD patients and projected that miR‐218‐5p/miR15a‐RORA‐LOC101928100/LINC00861 and miR‐218‐5p/miR15a‐TGF3‐RORA‐AS1 interactions play a significant role in the pathogenesis of nonsmoking COPD patients.60 This evidence concerns the gene LINC00861 and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
