lncRNA-ATBUpA549, Beas-2BlncRNA-ATB adsorbed miR-200c and released ZEB1, promoting the occurrence of EMT.[99101]
lncRNA-MALAT1UpA549, HBElncRNA-MALAT1 can promote EMT by regulating the PI3K/AKT/SNAIL-signaling pathway by targeting miR-503 and targeting PI3K and p85.[94]、 [95]
lncRNA-CHRFUpRAW264.7, THP-1 macrophagesNIH/3T3, MRC-5lncRNA-CHRF can adsorb miR-489.
(1) miR-489 inhibited the expression of MyD88, IL-1β and TGF-β1 in mice and macrophages
(2) miR-489 inhibited total SMAD3 and p-SMAD3 levels and alleviated pulmonary fibrosis in mice and fibroblasts
