Fig. 4. Tumor formation rate and growth speed were significantly inhibited after DTYMK knockdown in vivo.

A and B A stronger inhibitory effect on tumor formation rate was exhibited in transplanted carcinoma in nude mice (n = 5 per group). C Tumor growth speed was significantly inhibited after DTYMK knockdown (p = 0.039). D Tumor sizes in the negative control group decreased partially after oxaliplatin treatment, while no tumors were formatted in the sh-DTYMK group (n = 5 per group). E Schematic diagram of tumor xenotransplantation model. F The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of DTYMK and MAPKAPK2 reduced in the sh-DTYMK group compared with the negative control group. Moreover, higher CCL5 expression and more CD163+ TAMs were found in the negative control group. Scale bar = 50 μm. G Statistical analysis of the mice IHC results. H ELISA showed an inhibited level of CCL5 after DTYMK knockdown. I CCL5 could stimulate the chemotactic migration of monocytes. NC negative control, DTY DTYMK. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
