A Tumor growth was not affected in mice subcutaneously transplanted with GSV-Ywhaz subclones with Dox treatment (n = 6; ns, not significant). B The total number of macro-metastatic lung nodules decreased with Dox treatment (+Dox) as compared to the control group (−Dox). Mice were sacrificed on day 60 after subcutaneous transplantation of GSV-Ywhaz (n = 6, *p < 0.05). C Representative images of macro-metastatic lung nodules. D Overall survival time was prolonged when intravenously transplanting GSV-Ywhaz subclone into mice with or without Dox treatment (n = 6, *p < 0.05, Kaplan–Meier survival analysis). E Western blotting analysis showed the upregulation of YWHAZ expression in GSV-Ywhaz subclones and downregulation of YWHAZ expression after DOX treatment.
