Fig. 3. Effect of lncRNA-SOX2OT on in vivo tumor metastasis of HCC cells.

Fig. 3

a The metastatic potential of HCCLM3 orthotopic nude mice model with different lncRNA-SOX2OT level was evaluated by PET scan. SOX2OT overexpression enhanced intrahepatic, mesenteric and pulmonary metastasis. Conversely, the depletion of SOX2OT clocked metastasis. b Ectopic expression of lncRNA-SOX2OT significantly induced the number of CTCs (GFP labeled). The depletion of lncRNA-SOX2OT reduced the number of CTCs. c Overexpression of lncRNA-SOX2OT resulted in greater liver metastases burden, while the depletion of lncRNA-SOX2OT decreased the liver metastases burden in HCCLM3 cells. d, e lncRNA-SOX2OT overexpression increased the lung metastases burden, while the depletion of lncRNA-SOX2OT significantly reduced the lung metastases burden of HCCLM3 cells.
