ERCC6L down-regulation inhibit tumor growth in vivo and hypothetical schematic diagram of mechanisms for HCC progression. (a) The mice was inoculated with either SMMC7721 cells stably expression shERCC6L or NC, and the dissected xenograft tumors from each group were photographed. (b) Tumor volume was measured every 5 days, and growth curves were created for each group. *p < 0.05 vs NC group. (c). Tumor weight at the endpoint (30 days). *p < 0.05 vs NC group. (d) The schematic diagram depicted in Fig. 5d has been created by the authors for this publication
