NEAT1 and COVID-19: Regarding NEAT-1, these finding agrees with Meydan et al., 2020 who demonstrated that bioinformatic analysis of differentially expressed ncRNAs in the RNA-seq datasets from lung, brain, and blood of COVID-19 inflammation-prone individuals revealed downregulation of NEAT-1 and DANCER in infected lung cell with COVID19 in contrary to lung cell infected with H1N1 pandemic (influenza virus) which doesn’t affect the expression level of NEAT-1 and DANCER [6].
