FSTL5 recombinant protein promotes apoptosis and regulates Bcl‐2 family proteins in a dose‐dependent manner in HCC. (A and B) Flow cytometry assay for apoptosis of SMMC7721/Bel7404 cells 48 h after treatment with FSTL5 recombinant protein at various doses, *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001, Student's t test). (C and D) Western blotting analysis of SMMC7721/Bel7404 cells 48 h after treatment with FSTL5 recombinant protein at various doses

FSTL5 inhibits HCC tumour growth in vivo. (A) Western blotting showing FSTL5 expression in FSTL5 and control SMMC7721/Bel7404 xenografts. (B and E) IHC staining for FSTL5 in FSTL5‐expressing and control SMMC7721/Bel7404 xenografts (scale bar = 50 μm). (C and D) Tumour volume (n = 5, *P < .05, Student's t test) and end‐stage tumour weight (n = 5, ***P < .001, Student's t test), after injection of FSTL5‐expressing and control SMMC7721 cancer cells into nude mice. (F and G) Tumour volume (n = 5, *P < .05, Student's t test), and end‐stage tumour weight (n = 5, **P < .01, Student's t test), after injection of FSTL5‐expressing and control Bel7404 cancer cells into nude mice. (H and I) IHC staining for PCNA, cleaved caspase‐3 and FSTL5 in xenografts from nude mice (n = 3, **P < .01, ***P < .001, Student's t test, scale bar = 25 μm)
