The lncRNA activating regulator of DKK1 (LNCAROD) was shown to be stabilized by m6A methylation in HNSCC cells and suggested to be used as a scaffold to promote the YBX1–HSPA1A PPI and stability of the YBX1 protein, resulting in the cell proliferation and migration of head and neck squamous cell cancer (Ban et al., 2020). Here, HSPA1A is linked to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
