The downregulation of CILP2 decreases the potential metastases of colorectal cancer in vivo. (a) Changes in body weights in the shNC and shCILP2 groups. (b) In vivo images at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after tumour dissemination (n = 6 per group). (c) Quantification of the in vivo imaging is displayed in the graph. (d) Representative images of the appearance of peritoneal metastatic nodules in the nude mice treated with an intraperitoneal injection. Numbers of peritoneal tumour nodules (e) total weight of the peritoneal tumour nodules (f), and total ascites fluid amounts (g) were measured after sacrificing mice.
