LncRNA ANRIL/miR‐125a axis in BA‐E patients with mild, moderate and severe exacerbation severity. LncRNA ANRIL/miR‐125a axis (A) and lncRNA ANRIL (B) expression were positively correlated with, while miR‐125a (C) expression was negatively correlated with exacerbation severity in BA‐E patients. The correlation of lncRNA ANRIL/miR‐125a axis, lncRNA ANRIL, and miR‐125a with exacerbation severity in BA‐E patients was assessed by Spearman's rank correlation test. P < .05 was considered significant. ANRIL, antisense non‐coding RNA in the INK4 locus; BA‐E, bronchial asthma at exacerbation; BA‐R, bronchial asthma at remission; LncRNA, long non‐coding RNA; miR‐125a, microRNA‐125a
