LINC00242 knockdown hampers the tumorigenesis of GC cells and angiogenesis in vivo. a–c, The volume and mass of GC xenografts by HGC27 cells upon LINC00242 knockdown. d, e, Representative Western blots of FOXC1, VEGF, CD31, and their quantitation analyses in tissues of GC xenografts by HGC27 cells upon LINC00242 knockdown. f Immunohistochemistry staining for VEGF and CD31 in tissues of GC xenografts by HGC27 cells upon LINC00242 knockdown (× 200, scale bar = 50 μm). Results are presented as mean ± S.D. of three technical replicates. * (compared with sh-NC) indicates p < 0.05 and ** (compared with sh-NC) indicates p < 0.01 by paired t-test
