STIM1 promoted CRC cells invasion and metastasis in vivo. SW480 cells transfected with the LV-STIM1 expression vector (two clones, c1 and c2) or the control vector and SW620 cells transfected with LV-STIM1si-1, LV-STIM1si-2 or a negative control were injected into nude mice via the tail vein for an in vivo metastasis assay. Animals were killed 6 weeks after injection (a). Incidence of lung and liver metastasis in each group of nude mice. (b) Number of metastatic lung foci observed in each group. (b2) Number of metastatic liver foci observed in each group. (c1) Images showing representative hematoxylin and eosin staining of lung tissue samples from the different experimental groups. (c2) Images showing representative hematoxylin and eosin staining of liver tissue samples from the different experimental groups. Scale bar, 50 μm.
