Figure 3. Heterozygous Atmin loss increases proliferation of lung tumor cells and tumor grafts.
A) Loss-of-heterozygosity testing for Atmin gene. Left, genotyping analysis of Atmin alleles in lung tumor cells and tail DNA. Right, number of genomic Atmin DNA copies, measured by Q-PCR and normalised to the 36B4 gene.
B) Graph showing the difference in cell proliferation between AtminΔL/+ KP and KP cells.
C) Graph showing the volume of xenograft tumors at the indicated timepoints after subcutaneous injection of AtminΔL/+ KP and KP cells.
D) Representative RNAScope images, showing Atmin and Ppib (positive control) mRNA in AtminΔL/+ KP- and KP-derived xenografts.
