SWELL1 promotes cell growth of HCC in vivo. (a) Representative image of the nude mice with tumours in each group (n = 8 per group). (b) The tumour growth curves and mean tumour size of the two groups of nude mice injected with SMMC-7721-shSWELL1 or SMMC-7721-control cells (n = 8 per group). We measured the tumour size for the first time on the 6th day and then measured it every 3 days. The mean tumour size of the two groups of mice was measured on day 21. **P < .01. Data are represented as the mean ± SD and compared using Student's t-test. (c) Representative H&E staining and expression of Ki67 and CD31 determined by IHC in tumours in the two groups.
