SPRR2B facilitates tumor growth in vivo. MKN45 cells were stably transfected with SPRR2B-shRNA, scramble-shRNA, pcDNA3.1-vector, or pcDNA3.1-SPRR2B. Then cells were collected and subcutaneously injected into nude mice. (A and B) The body weight of each mouse was recorded after tumor cell injection, which showed no statistically significant difference. (C and D) Tumor volumes were measured every five days and calculated as described in the Method section, which revealed that SPRR2B-shRNA significantly attenuated tumor growth while overexpressing SPRR2B exerted opposite effects. Three weeks later, xenografts were isolated for photographing (E and F) and weighting (G and H). Data was exhibited as mean ± SD. *Indicates P<0.05 by Student’s t-test.
