miR-877 inhibits CRC tumor growth in vivo. (A) Tumor xenografts derived from SW480 cells transfected with miR-877 mimics or miR-NC. (B) Tumor length and width were measured every 4 days, and tumor volumes were calculated using the following formula: tumor volume (mm3) = width2 (mm2) × length (mm)/2. *P<0.05 versus miR-NC. (C) After 30 days, all mice were sacrificed, and xenografts were excised and weighed. *P<0.05 versus miR-NC. (D) RT-qPCR was utilized to determine miR-877 expression in tumor xenografts derived from SW480 cells transfected with miR-877 mimics or miR-NC. *P<0.05 versus miR-NC. (E) Expression levels of MTDH, PTEN, p-Akt, and Akt in tumor xenografts were detected using western blotting analysis.
