Clinical data demonstrated that DUSP9 was highly expressed in HNSCC tumor tissues. (A) Detection of DUSP9 expression in clinical tumor (T) and paratumor (P) samples by Western blot. The values between the two bands represent the DUSP9/β-actin ratio as measured by ImageJ. (B) Detection of DUSP9 expression in clinical tumor and paratumor samples by IHC. Mean density was quantified using ImageJ (n=48). Data were shown as mean ± SEM; p-value was determined by paired Student's t-test; **** < 0.0001. (C) DUSP9 expression in samples grouped by clinical parameters, including gender, stage, hypertension, diabetes, site and HPV infection. Data were shown as mean ± SEM; p-value was determined by Student's t-test for two groups or one-way ANOVA test for multiple groups; ns, not significant; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; **** p < 0.0001.
