Project description:Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) are critical for synovial aggressiveness and joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).The role and expression patterns of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in RA are largely unknown. We performed lncRNA and mRNA microarrays to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in fibroblast-like synoviocytes from rheumatoid arthritis patients compared with fibroblast-like synoviocytes from trauma patients.
