Intriguingly, a close positive correlation between HOXB9 and GalNAc-T14 was observed both in 31 NSCLC cell lines (top panel) and in 23 lung adenocarcinoma patients (bottom panel) (Fig. 3F), implying that GalNAc-T14 expression is closely associated with HOXB9 expression in lung cancer. The gene discussed is HOXB9; the disease is lung adenocarcinoma.
