To validate the expression levels of LINC00958 and HOXC13-AS identified through our bioinformatics analyses, real-time PCR was performed to detect the expression levels of LINC00958 and HOXC13-AS in NPC cell lines and in the NPEC2 Bmi-1 cell line. This evidence concerns the gene HOXC13 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
