Significance Genome-wide identification of changes in the expression of large intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) in a classical model of innate immune cell activation revealed a panel of 159 lincRNAs that were highly modulated in stimulated THP1 macrophages. One of the lincRNAs, named TNFα and heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L (hnRNPL) related immunoregulatory LincRNA (THRIL), was essential for induction of TNFα, functions through a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex with hnRNPL, and plays an important role as regulator of physiological and pathological inflammatory immune responses.
