Moreover, the highly conserved transcription factors Forkhead box Q1 (Foxq1), regulated by miR-124, could directly bind to the EGFR promoter and increase EGFR expression, thereby inducing vasculogenic mimicry via the EGFR signalling pathway to promote NPC metastasis [77,78]. This evidence concerns the gene FOXQ1 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
