HOXA11-AS expression was upregulated in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC). (A) The expression of HOXA11-AS was significantly upregulated in HSCC tumor specimens compared with the adjacent normal tissues (p = 0.0082, n = 18 pairs). (B) The expression of HOXA11-AS in the advanced lymph node metastatic group (N2 + 3, n = 8) was significantly higher than in the less advanced lymph node metastatic group (N0 + 1, n = 10; p = 0.0334). Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as a loading control. Comparison was analyzed by paired t-test and unpaired t-test, respectively. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
