Expression level and prospective mechanism of miRNA-99a-3p in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma based on miRNA-chip and miRNA-sequencing data in 1, 167 cases.

MiR-99a-3p exhibits a significant lower expression status in HNSCC, and this reduced or deletion status promotes the malignant progression of HNSCC. However, its molecular mechanism is still unclear and requires further investigation.
