Figure 8. The expression levels of two sIRLNRs and the relationships with various T-stages. The results of RT-qPCR of the expression levels of AC068338.3 and AL691432.2 in LUAC cell lines and tumor and adjacent tissues. The expression levels of AC068338.3 and AL691432.2 in HBE were both higher than those in LUAC cell lines, *** represents the significant difference of AC068338.3 compared with HBE (P<0.001), ^### represents the significant difference of AL691432.2 compared with HBE (P<0.001) (A). Compared with cancer tissues, the expression levels of AC068338.3 and AL691432.2 were both higher in adjacent tissues; *** represents the significant difference of AC068338.3 (P<0.001), ^### represents the significant difference of AL691432.2 (P<0.001) (B). The expression levels of AC068338.3 and AL691432.2 were both the lowest in LUAC patients of T3-4 stages, and the highest expression levels of AC068338.3 and AL691432.2 were both detected in T1 patients; *** represents the significant difference of AC068338.3 (P<0.001), ** represents the significant difference of AC068338.3 (P<0.01), ^### represents the significant difference of AL691432.2 (+<0.001) (C).
