MicroRNAs play a significant role in the development of cancers, including lung cancer. A recent study revealed that smoking, a key risk factor for lung cancer, increased the levels of hsa-mir-301a in the tumor tissues of patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). The aim of the current study is to investigate the mechanism by which tobacco smoke increases hsa-mir-301a levels in LUSC tumor tissues using bioinformatics analysis.

Analysis of the specific tumor and immune signatures of NSCLC samples is a critical step in prognostic evaluation and management decisions for patients after surgery. Routine histological assays have some limitations.

Various molecular interactions are known to link tobacco smoke exposure to lung cancer, but new data are still emerging on the effects of smoking on lung cancer development, progression, and tumor response to therapy. In this study, we reveal in further detail the previously established association between smoking and hsa-mir-301a activity in lung squamous cell carcinoma, LUSC.
