It should be so. Cell-free RNAs (cfRNA) in plasma exhibit notable differences from RNAs found within cells. Typically, one cannot utilize GAPDH or other common housekeeping genes for expression normalization.
In general I agree with Hongdao Zhang ...can you provide more information about the yield and the purity of your RNA isolation... Few studies normalize circulating lncRNAs with miR-16 or other snRNAs.
