The expression patterns of LINC00461, HOXA10, and miR-195 in HNSCC and the adjacent normal tissues (collected from 52 patients with HNSCC) was determined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), which showed that the expression patterns of LINC00461 and HOXA10 were higher, while that of miR-195 was lower in the HNSCC tissues compared to the adjacent normal tissues (Figure 2A; Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene MIR9-2HG and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
