However, in the doctoral dissertation of Tomar (2013), changes associated with HPV infection in HNSCC for MALAT1 as well as other lincRNAs, such as LINC0002, LINC00028, LINC00087, LINC00152, LINC00173, LINC00174, LINC00230A, LINC00240, LINC00263, LINC00319, LINC00426, LINC00472, LINC00487, LINC00277, LINC00339, and LINC00476, were presented [168] and are summarized in Figure 2B. We postulate that the biological role of these lincRNAs needs to be verified based on the in vitro model and that it should be established whether they may be used as potential biomarkers. This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
