Notes: (A) The number of metastatic tumor nodes in the abdomen of mice from the control and SALL4 knockdown groups. (B) H&E staining of liver tissues in mice from the control and SALL4 knockdown groups. (C) qRT-PCR analyses of EMT markers in mouse metastatic tumor nodules from the control and SALL4 knockdown groups. (D) Western blot assays for EMT marker and SMAD2/3 expression in mouse metastatic tumor nodules from the control and SALL4 knockdown groups. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
Abbreviations: EMT, epithelial–mesenchymal transition; H&E, hematoxylin and eosin; qRT-PCR, quantitative real-time PCR.
