Fig. 5From: Cyproheptadine, an epigenetic modifier, exhibits anti-tumor activity by reversing the epigenetic silencing of IRF6 in urothelial carcinomaIRF6 inhibits proliferation of UC in vivo. UMUC3 cells transfected with control (control) or plasmid expressing IRF6 (OV) were injected subcutaneously into athymic nude mice (BALB/cByJNarl). a Tumor size were monitored and measured for 15 days (left panel). Statistical significances were observed in IRF6-overexpressed compared with Control (**p < 0.01). Right panel shows the representative examples of tumors formed (red circle) in the control (right) and IRF6-overexpressed group (left) were also shown. b Significantly smaller dissected tumor on day 15 was also shown. Right panel shows the mean weight (means ± SD) of all the tumorsBack to article page
