Fig. 7: Knockdown of hsa_circ_0110389 inhibits growth of GC tumor in vivo.

A–C Schematic representation (A), in vivo growth curve (B), and weight at the end points (C) of xenograft tumors formed by subcutaneous injection of HGC-27 and KATO III cells stably transfected with sh-NC or sh-circRNA (n = 5 for each group). D Representative images of H&E staining, Ki-67 staining and IHC for SORT1 of xenograft tumors. E The RNA levels of hsa_circ_0110389, miR-127-5p and miR-136-5p in xenograft tumors were detected by qRT-PCR. F The protein levels of SORT1 and autophagy-related genes (Beclin-1, LC3B and p62) in xenograft tumors by western blot. G The expression of LC3B in xenograft tumors by IF analysis. All data are presented as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
