Future work should investigate: (1) LncRNA-IH’s interaction with TGF-β1 pathway components via RNA pull-down/ChIP; (2) long-term effects of LncRNA-IH inhibition on post-MI prognosis in animal models; (3) clinical relevance of LncRNA-IH expression in human post-MI samples. Here, TGFB1 is linked to myocardial infarction.
