HOXA1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: The putative target for miR-10a, HOXA1 mRNA (homeobox protein A1) was upregulated 3-9-fold in 16HBE-T cells compared to controls [165]; HOXA1 is a protein that is highly expressed in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is associated with lower survival in patients [166].
