circTOLLIP promotes the proliferation and migration of HCC cells in vitro and in vivo. a-c The colony formation assay and CCK-8 assay were performed in HLF and 97H cells. d-f The statistic graphs of scratch wound healing assay and cell migration and invasion assays. g The subcutaneous xenograft tumors from vector or overexpressed circTOLLIP 97H cells. h-i Tumor weight and tumor volume of subcutaneous xenografts. j-k Liver orthotopic transplantation and metastasis models in nude mice with circTOLLIP-overexpressing and vector HLF cells. Representative pictures are presented that show HE staining of isolated liver tissue and a general image of the whole liver. The number of visible tumor nodules was counted and pointed by red arrows. l-p Lung metastasis assay was performed with 97H-circTOLLIP cells in nude mice by tail vein injection. Representative pictures showing lung metastatic nodules, the incidence of lung metastasis (l), HE staining of lung tissue (m) and lung fluorescence imaging (o, p) were presented. The number of lung metastatic nodules was counted in lung tissues after HE staining(n)
