A similar study reported that miR‐204 exhibited lower expression in the neck squamous cell carcinoma tissues in comparison to the healthy adjacent tissues.28 Another example showed that miR‐204 suppresses tumour growth through inhibition of light chain 3B (LC3B)‐mediated autophagy in renal clear cell carcinoma.29 These evidence illustrated that miR‐204 could perform as a crucial regulator during tumour development. Here, MAP1LC3B is linked to clear cell renal carcinoma.
