WBSCR22 knockdown increased oxaliplatin sensitivity in vivo. The mice in the treatment groups were treated with oxaliplatin by intraperitoneal injection, on a schedule of two injections every week at 7.5 mg/kg per injection. The mice in the control groups were injected with solvent (aqueous glucose 5% solution [5% GS]). (A) Macroscopic images of xenografted tumors excised at day 25. (B) The relative mean tumor volume (RMTV) curve of the Caco-2 shRNA1 xenograft models. The data were expressed as the mean ± SE. *p < 0.05, (Caco-2 shRNA1 + oxaliplatin [treatment group] vs. Caco-2 shRNA1 + 5% GS [control group]). (C) The relative mean tumor volume (RMTV) curve of the Caco-2 shCon xenograft models. The results were expressed as the mean ± SE. (D) The mean tumor volume (MTV) curve of the Caco-2 shCon and shRNA1 xenograft models in the control groups. The data were expressed as the mean ± SE. (E) Immunohistochemical analysis of WBSCR22 protein in the excised tumor tissues from the shCon and shRNA1 control groups (×40, ×200). (F) Immunohistochemical analysis of cleaved caspase-3 in the excised tumor tissues from the shCon and shRNA1 treatment groups (×200). The data were expressed as the mean ± SD. ***p < 0.001 (shRNA1 + oxaliplatin [treatment group] vs. shCon + oxaliplatin [treatment group]).
