Knockdown of KDM2B attenuates tumor growth in vivo. (a) Plot demonstrating in vitro bioluminescence of shControl and shKDM2B cells transduced with Fluc-mCh constructs. (b) Long-term growth dynamic of shControl and shKDM2B cells were assessed by real-time cell analyzer for 202 h (n=6 wells for each group). (c) shControl-Fluc-mCh and shKDM2B-Fluc-mCh cells were subcutaneously implanted into nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) mice and assessed for tumor growth for 30 days. Representative images of bilateral tumors of same mice from days 1, 14 and 22 displaying normalized bioluminescent efficiencies acquired (blue to red indicates lower to higher radiance as photons/s/cm2/steradian). (d) Tumor growth was measured by bioluminescent radiance on five time points for 30 days. Data were normalized to day 1 signal of each group (n=7 tumors per group). (e) Representative histology and immunofluorescence sections of tumors stained with H&E, anti-VEGF and annexin-V. (f) Number of blood vessels per 18 mm2 are counted and plotted (n=3 fields per tumors)
