Fig. 7: Potential application of the MACC1-AS1/STK33 signaling axis in pancreatic cancer animal and cell models.

A–D The tumor volume, survival time, tumor photo and tumor weight were measured from the animal model injected with overexpression of MACC1-AS1 and control PANC-1 cells, with the treatment of Gemcitabine on the 7th day. E, F PANC-1 and PANC-1/Gem cells were co-transfected with the indicated vectors/MACC1-AS1/si-STKSS/ML281(treatment) and scramble/si-MACC1-AS1/STK33, by treated with Gemcitabine at different concentrations, after which cell viability was measured by CCK8 assay. G, H PANC-1 and PANC-1/Gem cells were co-transfected with the indicated scramble/MACC1-AS1/STKSS and scramble/si-MACC1-AS1/si-STK33, by treated with Gemcitabine at different hours, after which cell viability was measured by CCK8 assay. Data were represented as mean ± SD, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
