Knockdown of CRNDE sensitizes HCC cells to sorafenib in vivo. (A–C) The size, weight and photograph of xenograft tumors in the groups with or without stable knockdown of CRNDE (LV-shCRNDE or LV-NC) and administration of sorafenib (n = 5). (D) Immunohistochemical staining assay for Ki67, SQSTM1/p62 and ATG4B in the xenograft tumors of different groups as in panel (A) (scale bar: 100 μm). (E) TUNEL staining assay for apoptosis in the xenograft tumors of different groups as in panel (A) (scale bar: 20 μm). (F) Western blot analysis of cleaved PARP, SQSTM1/p62, LC3, and ATG4B in 3 xenograft samples of each group as in panel (A). (G) qPCR analysis of CRNDE and ATG4B mRNA in the xenograft tumors of different groups as in panel (A). C, control; S, sorafenib. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
