Seven lncRNAs were upregulated in active UC including: colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE), family with sequence similarity 30 member A (FAM30A), uncharacterized LOC643977 (FLJ32255), long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1215 (LINC01215), long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 3040 (LINC03040), myocardial infarction associated transcript (MIAT), MIR155 host gene (MIR155HG). This evidence concerns the gene MIAT and infarction.
