Knockdown of MTA2 suppresses growth and metastasis of CNE2 cells in vivo.

Notes: (A) Tumor size and tumor weight of CNE2/shNC and CNE2/shMTA2 groups in nude mice 3 weeks after injection of control or CNE2/shMTA2 cells subcutaneously in the right subaxillary. (B) Observation of pulmonary metastasis foci (black arrow) of nude mice 6 weeks after injection of control or CNE2/shMTA2 cells through tail vein (H&E ×100, *P<0.01). (C) Levels of MTA2, pAkt, cyclin D1, and MMP7 proteins in subcutaneous tumors of CNE2/shNC and CNE2/shMTA2 groups.

Abbreviations: MTA2, metastasis-associated gene 2; H&E, hematoxylin and eosin; MMP7, matrix metalloproteinase 7.
