qRT-PCR showed that the expression of AP003774.2, DDX11-AS1, MIR924HG, MIR9-3HG, and AL451085.2 were downregulated, while ACTN1-AS1 and DOCK8-AS1 were upregulated in HNSCC tissues compared to paired normal tissues (Fig. 13A–G). This evidence concerns the gene DDX11 and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
