Fig. 5From: Cancer-associated fibroblast-derived extracellular vesicles promote lymph node metastases in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma by encapsulating ITGB1 and BMI1Knockdown of BMI1 and ITGB1 abates the tumor-promoting and metastasis-promoting properties of OCSCC cells in vivo. A The weight and volume of tumors formed by SCC-25 cells treated with BMI1 or ITGB1 knockdown (n = 6). B Ki67 expression in tumors determined by immunohistochemistry (n = 6). C The weight and volume of lymph nodes in mice induced with in vivo orthotopic xenograft model (n = 6). D Distribution of SCC-25 in lymph nodes observed by HE staining (n = 6). E Determination of Ki67 expression in lymph nodes by immunohistochemistry (n = 6). One-way or two-way ANOVA. Data are presented as means ± SD (*p <.05)Back to article page
