Figure 1

Comparison of expression of lncRNAs between different groups. Each symbol represents an individual subjects; horizontal lines indicate median values. The expression levels of the lncRNAs in 85 SLE patients, 71 healthy controls were analyzed by qRT-PCR and normalized by β-actin. (A) Decreased expression of linc0597 in patients with SLE versus healthy controls. (B) The expression of linc0949 in SLE and healthy controls did not show any difference. (C) The expression of lnc-DC in SLE was significantly lower than healthy controls. (D) The expression of GAS5 in SLE was significantly lower than healthy controls.
