LncRNAs in normal hematopoiesis. Several lncRNAs are involved in the blood cell development. LncHSC-1/2, Xist and H19 regulate HSC quiescence and self-renewal. LinRNA-EPS, alncRNA-EC7 and elncRNA-EC3 modulate red blood cell formation. HOTAIRM1 functions in granulocytic differentiation. EGO promotes eosinophil differentiation. LincRNA-Cox2, NKILA, PACER, and Lethe participate in the innate immune response. NeST correlates to T cell formation. Lnc-DC is essential for dendritic cell differentiation.
