2A. Overall mean expression of all 39 HOX genes as measured by qPCR in a panel of normal oral keratinocytes and oral cancer cells, relative to the internal endogenous control β-actin. In general, there is increased expression of most HOX genes, but particularly A4, A10, B9 and D10. 2B. Expression of HOXB9 in a panel of NOK, OPM and HNSCC cells. 2C. Expression of HOXB9 protein assayed by Western blotting for NOK cells compared to HNSCC (upper panel) and OPL (lower panel). * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001.
