Fig. 6. TNC knockdown inhibited tumor growth and peritoneal dissemination in vivo.
A Image of tumors of mice in the NC and shTNC groups. B Volume of tumor of mice in the NC and shTNC groups. C Weight of tumor of mice in the NC and shTNC groups. D H&E, TNC, VM (CD31−/PAS+), MMP2 and MMP9 staining in NC and shTNC xenograft tissues. E Representative intestines in nude mice. F The quantification of metastases in nude mice was counted. Results were shown as mean ± SD of three independent experiments; each experiment was performed in triplicate. *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001.
