Fig. 2: Lycorine elevates the tumor suppressor SAV1 levels and reduces the oncogenic YAP amounts in the tumors from xenograft mice.

The levels of SAV1 and YAP proteins in the tumors from xenograft mice were detected by IHC and IF, respectively. Lycorine raised SAV1 levels (IHC: a, b, ×200; IF: c, ×1000), while YAP amounts were decreased by lycorine treatment (IHC: d, e). The amounts of SAV1, YAP, and β-actin in the tumor tissues from xenograft mice were detected by western blotting (f–h) and RT-PCR (i), respectively. LH + represents with lycorine treatment, LH− represents vehicle control. Data represent the mean ± SD of triplicates. *P < 0.05. **P < 0.01. ***P < 0.001.
