HOXB9 Expression Correlates with Histological Grade and Prognosis in LSCC

Figure 2

Mean expression of all 15 upregulated HOX genes as tested by RT-PCR in a panel of noncancerous and LSCC tissues. Data are presented relative to the internal endogenous control GAPDH. Among the 15 HOX genes, HOXB9, HOXB13, and HOXD13 show the most significant increase in expression in LSCC compared to noncancerous tissues. , , and ().
