Although studies on lncRNAs in renal fibrosis have focused on target genes and functions of lncRNAs, a comprehensive interaction analysis of lncRNAs is lacking. Differentially expressed genes in renal fibrosis were screened, and the interaction between lncRNAs and miRNAs was searched. We constructed a ceRNA network associated with renal fibrosis, by which we found the transcription factor Creb5, a target gene of lncRNA Gas5 that might regulate extracellular Fn1 deposition.

Slit2, a secreted protein, interacts with its receptor Robo1 to regulate the differentiation of intestinal stem cells and participate in inflammation and tumor development. However, whether Slit2/Robo1involved in the pathogenesis of UC is not known.
