Effects of the defective IL-11/IL-11Rα signaling axis on SmoM2-mediated carcinogenesis. A, typical H&E staining images of skin specimens from tumor-bearing mice with IL-11Rα+/+, IL-11Rα+/−, or IL-11Rα−/−, with the thickness shown by the bars. B, average epidermal thickness, a measure for BCC tumor size, from mice with different genotypes. p < 0.05 indicates statistically significant. C, expression of phosphorylated STAT3, cyclin D1, total STAT3, and β-actin in skin tissues from different genotypes.
