Pancreatic cancer cell PANC-1 stably transfected with negative control (sh-NC) or sh-circ-0005105 #2/3 were intravenous injected into nude mice. A Tumors from sh-NC or sh-circ-0005105 #2/3 group were isolated from nude mice and tumor weight was examined. B Representative bioluminescent photos were recorded at 1, 3, 5 weeks post injection. Relative luciferase activity was analyzed in sh-NC or sh-circ-0005105 #2/3 group. C Tumor volume was measured and determined at indicated time points. D Representative H&E staining and immunohistochemical staining image of Ki-67 were acquired on tumor sections from sh-NC or sh-circ-0005105 #2/3 group. Relative Ki-67 staining intensity in sh-NC or sh-circ-0005105 #2/3 group was analyzed. Scale bar = 200 μm. E Representative results of gross and H&E staining of metastatic lung nodules in different groups. Scale bars, 500 μm. The results are presented as the mean ± SD for each group (n = 6). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
