Fig. 7. Induced ERK5 silencing suppresses breast cancer lung metastasis.

Fig. 7

Control (dox−) and doxycycline-fed (dox+) mice bearing mammary tumor grafts were paired according to similar tumor size. A, B Breast metastasis was detected post mortem by quantification of live (DAPI) breast cancer cells (tdT+) in the lung. A representative flow cytometry analysis is shown in B. The graphical analysis of the data demonstrated that ERK5 knockdown significantly reduced metastatic burden. Ratio paired t test was applied for p value calculation, p ≤ 0.01 (**). Raw numbers utilized for the graph are presented in the table. C Breast metastasis to the spleen and bone were detected by bioluminescence imaging in one control (dox−) animal of a pair sacrificed at 4 weeks after dox exposure.
