GeneE330013P06Diabetes mellitusIncreasedUpregulation of IL-6, TNF-α, NOS2; downregulation of IL-10E330013P06 regulate expression of nearby genes involved in macrophage function.Human
Mice
[37]
ProteinLetheDiabetes mellitusDecreasedProduction of ROSLethe binds to p65 subunit and inhibits the translocation of NF-κB to the nucleus.Mice[39]
ProteinDnm3osDiabetes mellitusIncreasedEnhancement of inflammation and phagocytosis. Upregulation of IL-6, TNF, NOS2.Dnm3os promotes proinflammatory function by both cis- and tran-action, and possibly via changes in epigenetic histone modifications. This is modulated by nucleolin.Human
Mice
[38]
UnknownMALAT1Diabetic atherosclerosisIncreasedInduction of pyroptosisUnknown.Rats[40]
ceRNANIFK-AS1Endometrial cancerDecreasedNIFK-AS1 overexpression suppresses the IL-4-induced M2 polarization of macrophages and malignant behaviors of endometrial cancer.NIFK-AS1 downregulates miR-146a.Human[46]
ceRNACCAT1Prostate cancerIncreased in M1CCAT1 knockdown promoted M2 macrophage polarization.CCAT1 targets miR-148a which regulates the expression of PKCζ.Human
Mice (in vitro)
[45]
GeneTUC339Hepatocellular carcinomaIncreasedTUC339 reduces IL-1β and TNF-α, decreases costimulatory molecule expression, and compromises phagocytosis.Enriched TUC339 in PLC/PRF/5-derived exosomes is internalized by macrophage thus changes downstream pathways.Human[44]
GeneNEAT1Thyroid carcinomaIncreasedKnockdown of NEAT1 impairs the malignant progression of thyroid papillary carcinoma-1 and inhibits thyroid tumor growth in vivo.NEAT1 decreases the expression of miR-214.Human
Mice
[58]
GeneLNMAT1Bladder cancerIncreasedLNMAT1 promotes invasiveness and lymphatic metastasis, and activates and recruits macrophages into the tumor, inducing lymph angiogenesis.LNMAT1 recruits hnRNPL to CCL2 promoter leading to increased H3K4 trimethylation and CCL2 expression.Human
Mice
[43]
UnknownCox2Hepatocellular carcinomaIncreased in M1Change of Cox2 alters M1/M2 polarization, regulating immune evasion and metastasis of HCC.Unknown.Mice[47]
ceRNAMIATAtherosclerosisIncreasedKnockdown of MIAT attenuates atherosclerosis progression, promotes atherosclerotic plaque stability, and improves efferocytosis.MIAT acts as ceRNA to positively regulate CD47 expression by sponging miR-149-5p.Human
Mice
[52]
ceRNAGSA5AtherosclerosisIncreasedUpregulation of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, MCP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9.GSA5 directly binds and suppresses miR-221 expression.Human[51]
ceRNAHOTAIRAtherosclerosisIncreasedHOTAIR greatly increases total cholesterol, triglyceride levels, dil-ox-LDL uptake rate, ROS, IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and Cox2 levels.HOTAIR serves as a sponge of miR-330-5p.Human[50]
ceRNAUCA1AtherosclerosisIncreasedUCA1 increases ROS and cell apoptosis.UCA1 sponges miR-206.Human[49]
GeneH19AtherosclerosisIncreasedH19 increases TG, TC LDL-C, IL-1β, TNF-α.H19 upregulates the expression of miR-130b.Human
Mice (in vitro)
[59]
ProteinMeXisAtherosclerosisIncreasedLoss of MeXis impairs macrophage Abca1 expression and accelerates atherosclerosis.MeXis interacts with and guides promoter binding of the transcriptional coactivator DDX17 to amplify gene Abca1.Human
Mice
[54]
ProteinCDKN2B-AS1AtherosclerosisDecreasedCDKN2B-AS1 inhibits inflammatory response and promotes cholesterol efflux.CDKN2B-AS1 binds to DNA methyltransferase 1 to enhance methylation of ADAM10 promoter which inhibits AMAM10.Human
Mice
[53]
UnknownENST00000444488.1 and Uc010yfd.1Coronary artery diseaseIncreased (ENST00000444488.1); decreased (Uc010yfd.1)Silencing of ENST00000444488.1 and Uc010yfd.1 decreases or increases proinflammatory cytokines, respectively.Unknown.Human[55]
UnknownNEAT1Myocardial infarctionIncreasedKnockdown of NEAT1 disturbs monocyte-macrophage differentiation and its function.Unknown.Human
Mice
[60]
ceRNACHRFPulmonary fibrosisIncreasedCHRF promotes silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis and upregulates IL-1β, TGF-1β.CHRF negatively regulates miR-489.Human
Mice
[61]
ceRNAKCNQ1OT1OsteolysisDecreased in M1Overexpression of KCNQ1OT1 induces M2 polarization to ameliorate PMMA-induced osteolysis.KCNQ1OT1 functions as a miR-21a-5p decoy which regulates IL-10 expression.Mice[62]
