Our novel data demonstrate strong inverted correlations among the BAY 11‐7082‐induced levels of the analysed tumour suppressors” miR‐34a, miR‐375 and miR451a, and NF‐κB‐related genes, such as RELA(p65), STAT3, TNF‐α, IL‐6 and IL‐1β, that previous studies documented as crucial mediators of inflammatory and neoplastic events in head and neck cancer35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 (Figure 7). This evidence concerns the gene TNF and neoplasm.
