Validation of ENO1 and PKM effects on HCC progression and HBV replication in a Murine tumor model. (A) Images of the xenograft tumors in nude mice and the stripped tumor tissues. (B-C) PKM silencing reduced the volume (B) and weight(C) of the xenograft tumors, but was counteracted by ENO1 overexpression. (D-F) By qRT-PCR (D) and Western blot (E, F), PKM silencing suppressed the expression of ENO1, PKM2, PCNA and Ki67 in xenograft tumors, whereas ENO1 overexpression reversed this effect of PKM silencing. (G) Based on immunohistochemistry, the suppression of PKM silencing on the staining of ENO1, PKM2, PCNA and Ki67 proteins in xenograft tumors was abolished by ENO1 overexpression. (H-I) The inhibition of PKM silencing on HBV DNA replication (H) and HBsAg secretion (I) in xenograft tumors was eliminated by ENO1 overexpression. *** P < 0.001 vs. the Control group. ## P < 0.01 vs. the ENO1 group. ^^ P < 0.01 vs. the siPKM group
