Integrin Alpha v Beta 6 is expressed primarily in solid epithelial tumors, such as cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and colorectal cancer. It has been considered a potential and promising molecular marker for the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Cholangiocarcinoma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma share genetic, histological, and pathophysiological similarities due to the shared embryonic origin of the bile duct and pancreas.

In order to investigate the relationship between inflammation and lncRNA in mixed dry eye disease (DED), this study establishes competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network in mixed DED. Microarray analysis of cornea from mixed DED mice is performed to screen for differences in lncRNA and target genes, and miRNA bioinformatics were predicted based on the ceRNA hypothesis. The ceRNA network, which consists of 96 relationship pairs, is constructed using the top 10 upregulated lncRNAs and all upregulated mRNAs and two pairs of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA pairs (NONMMUT047964.
