circCUL2-overexpression NFs promote PDAC progression in vivo. A Representative Bioluminescence images, lung and HE staining of lung tissue of mice 4 weeks after tail vein injection of luc-PANC-1 cell treated with conditioned medium as indicated (n = 8 per group). Scale bar, 100 μm. B Relative luminescence intensity in each group. C Histogram analysis of the metastatic nodules number in per lung. D lung metastasis rate of each group (Chi-square test). E-F Representative bioluminescence images and histogram analysis of luminescence intensity in each at day 30 are shown (n = 6). G Abdominal metastasis rate was calculated for indicated group (Chi-square test). H Representative images of orthotopic model in each group on which autopsy was performed. Red arrow indicated primary tumor; S, spleen; T, primary tumor; M, metastasis. I Images of PDX from 2 patients in 5 mice. (J) Tumor growth curves of indicated group (n = 5). K qRT–PCR analysis of circCUL2 levels in PDX of mice before and after treatment. L Representative images of IHC for PDGFRα and IL6. Scale bar, 100 μm. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 (two-tailed Student t-tests)
