TABLE 1.

The fold change for the notable lncRNAs that play roles in skin biology and/or diseases. Bold numbers denote FDR ≤0.05. Red results denote at least 1.5-fold change when comparing against control/unstimulated conditions. Expression in inflammatory skin disease represents findings in lesional skin of atopic dermatitis/psoriasis patients compared to control without skin disease.

DANCR KC 1.16 1.88 0.92 0.73 0.99 0.99 1.02 0.88 0.89 Helps maintain the non-differentiated state in the epidermal basal layer by associating with EZH2 (Hombach and Kretz, 2013; Tang et al., 2020)
TINCR KC 0.67 0.65 1.00 0.68 1.09 1.07 0.97 0.77 0.94 Interacts with differentiation mRNAs and helps them bind to the STAU1 protein, increasing their stabilization (Hombach and Kretz, 2013; Tang et al., 2020)
H19 KC 0.31 0.05 0.85 0.71 0.82 0.94 0.92 0.71 0.89 Promotes keratinocyte differentiation by targeting MiR-130b-3p and inhibiting its activity on Dsg1 (Li et al., 2017; Tang et al., 2020)
