By applying an improved detection strategy, robustly differentially expressed lncRNAs in OA cartilage were detected. Integration of these lncRNAs with differential mRNA expression levels in the same samples provided insight into their regulatory networks. Our data indicates that intergenic and antisense lncRNAs play an important role in regulating the pathophysiology of OA.
