LncRNA-MEG3 functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate Treg/Th17 balance in patients with asthma by targeting microRNA-17/ RORγt

Abstract

LncRNA-MEG3 can sponge microRNA-17 as a ceRNA, thereby regulating RORγt and ultimately affecting Treg/Th17 balance in asthma. The lncRNA/microRNA axis may have potential application in clinical treatment and diagnosis of the disease.
