The control group was not treated with MNU, the tumor group was exposed to MNU and developed tumors, while the non-tumor group was exposed to MNU but did not develop tumors. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01, with comparisons indicated by lines. CpG, 5-C-phosphate-G-3; Pten, phosphatase and tensin homolog; MNU, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea..
