Fig. 6. Knockdown of ELF3 inhibited MHCC-LM3 cell metastasis in vivo.
a IVIS images of BALB/c nu/nu mice injected with MHCC-LM3-shELF3 cells and MHCC-LM3-shcontrol cells. b The total photon flux were measured and analyzed using the Living Image software, and the results showed less total metastatic foci in the MHCC-LM3-shELF3 group. c Representative images of hematoxylin and eosin staining of xenograft tumors (magnification ×100, scale bar:200μm). The region in the black square was further enlarged (magnificantion ×400, scale bar:50μm). d Representative IHC images of ELF3 and E-cadherin in xenograft tumors (magnification ×100, scale bar:200μm). The region in the black square was further enlarged (magnification ×400, scale bar:50μm). p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 based on the Student t test
