DLEU1 boosted tumor stemness maintenance and chemo-resistance. (A) DLEU1 boosted spheroid formation of CCA cells (t-test). (B) DLEU1 boosted stem cell markers (SOX2, OCT4, Nanog, KLF4) expression (two-way ANOVA). (C) DLEU1 boosted chemo-resistance of cisplatin and gemcitabine in CCA cells (two-way ANOVA) and (D) in nude mice. (E-F) Normalized tumor growth curve (two-way ANOVA) and tumor weight (t-test) showed that DLEU1 significantly increased chemo-resistance to cisplatin and gemcitabine treatment in vivo. (G) DLEU1 boosted the expression of stem cell markers in vivo (two-way ANOVA). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
