Fig. 6. HES5wt but not HES5mut reduces MYC-induced hepatocarcinogenesis.

Fig. 6

a Representative images of murine livers after hydrodynamic injection of transposon vectors encoding MYC (N = 12), MYC/HES5wt (N = 14) or MYC/HES5mut (N = 15) into FVB/N mice. Macroscopically, livers of MYC mice appeared enlarged and displayed numerous nodules. Livers of male (left) and female mice (right) were collected 6 or 8 weeks after injection, respectively, and the number of macroscopically detectable tumors was determined. b Quantification of the number of nodules, c the tumor volume per liver, and d the liver to body weight ratio of FVB/N mice. *Mann–Whitney U-test p < 0.05. e, f Representative H&E, anti-Ki67, anti-panCK, and anti-HNF4α staining of liver tissue of MYC/HES5wt (e) or MYC/HES5mut (f) transduced murine livers. H&E, hematoxylin and eosin; NL, normal liver; T, tumor.
