Fig. 6: GRAMD1A promoted growth and metastasis of CRC in vivo.

A Representative images of gross inspection and H&E staining of the CRC orthotopic tumors or liver metastatic tumors (n = 5 per group). Orthotopic tumors scale bar: 0.5 cm; H&E scale bars: 250 μm. B Orthotopic xenograft CRC tumor formation and liver metastasis analysis. C Statistical analysis of orthotopic tumor volumes. D Statistical analysis of number of metastases in H&E staining of liver. E Representative images of gross inspection of subcutaneous xenografts of CRC. Statistical analysis of subcutaneous tumor F volumes and G weights. Values are presented as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001, determined by Mann–Whitney test (C, D, F, G).
