Long non‐coding RNA NEAT1 and its targets (microRNA‐21 and microRNA‐125a) in rheumatoid arthritis: Altered expression and potential to monitor disease activity and treatment outcome

Abstract

lnc-NEAT1 and its targets (miR-21 and miR-125a) correlate with RA risk and disease activity, and declined lnc-NEAT1 associates with better treatment outcome to some extent in RA patients, suggesting that lnc-NEAT1 might be a potential biomarker to monitor disease activity and treatment outcome in RA.
