Validation of differentially expressed lncRNAs. (a) qRT-PCR was performed on the same RNA samples (17 smokers and 14 COPD patients) by individual lncRNA for NR_026891.1, ENST00000502883.1, HIT000648516, XR_429541.1, and ENST00000597550.1. Data are presented as 2−ΔΔCt relative to β-actin. and compared with smokers. (b) Relative abundance of differentially expressed lncRNAs in PBMCs of smokers and COPD patients. and compared with smokers. (c) Correlation analysis between lncRNA expression and post-BD FEV1% predicted.
