a Representative images of tumor size in nude mice injected subcutaneously with Huh7 cells infected with either shNC or shACSL4 (n = 6, for each experimental group). The mice were killed on the 28th day for tumor weight analysis. b Tumor growth rates and tumor weight in Huh7-shNC group and Huh7-shACSL4 group. c Representative images of tumor size in nude mice injected subcutaneously with SMMC-7721 cells infected with either shNC or shACSL4. The mice were killed on the 28th day for tumor weight analysis (n = 6, for each experimental group). d Tumor growth rates and tumor weight in SMMC-7721-shNC group and SMMC-7721-shACSL4 group. The data shown are the mean ± SD of tumor volume and tumor weight from six nude mice per group (***p < 0.001). The data were analyzed using Student’s t-test. e ACSL4 and c-Myc protein levels in Huh7 indicated xenografts were detected by western blot. f H&E staining and the expression of ACSL4 and c-Myc in tumor sections by IHC analysis (scale bar: 100 μm; magnification: ×200).
