Screening of long non-coding RNA and TUG1 inhibits proliferation with TGF-β induction in patients with COPD

Abstract

Abundant, differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were identified by microarray analysis and these might play a partial or key role in the diagnosis of patients with COPD. LncRNA TUG1 may become a very important class of biomarker and may act as a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for patients with COPD.
