Fig. 5From: The expression of protease-activated receptors in esophageal carcinoma cells: the relationship between changes in gene expression and cell proliferation, apoptosis in vitro and growing ability in vivoChanges in tumor growth in vivo in TE-1 cells containing different PAR expression plasmids. TE-1 cells containing plasmids for the stable expression or knockdown PARs and control TE-1 cells containing no plasmid were subcutaneously injected into nude mice, and the data are the mean ± SD (n = 5, P < 0.05). The mice were sacrificed 4 weeks after the subcutaneous injection. a Representative images of tumor development in subcutaneous injected with TE-1 cells. b Tumors dissected from the nude mice in each group. c1 and 2, growth curve charts of the tumors from the nude mice in each groupBack to article page
