a Schematic diagram displaying the time course of tumor induction and treatment in mice. b Representation of tumor growth inhibition by PFK158 and PFKFB3 genetic down regulation c Physical morphology and tumor images of xenograft from each group are shown. d Effect of pharmacological and genetic down regulation of PFKFB3 on tumor growth in NSG mice (n = 10 per group) and final tumor weights from different groups are shown. e Western analysis of the effect of PFKFB3 deficiency on cancer stemness markers including Aldh1, CD133, CD44, and Sox2. f Western blot analysis was performed to assess phospho and total LATS1/MST1, YAP/TAZ, and ABCG2 expression in lysates from the randomly selected xenografts in each group. g Immunoblot analysis of proliferative and apoptotic markers expressions such as Ki67, cleaved caspase3 and PARP from tumors of each group. α-tubulin was used as loading control. Each bar represents the mean ± SD (n = 10), Significant value expressed as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 by comparing test groups with control group.
