Figure Lengend Snippet: PIK75 synergizes with palbociclib to inhibit ESCC tumor progression. ( A ) Representative images of the tumor, n = 7. ( B ) Tumor volume growth curves for different groups, n = 7. ( C ) Tumor weights of different groups, n = 7. ( D ) Percentage change in body weight of mice during tumor growth, n = 7. ( E ) Representative images of H&E staining, KI67-positive cell staining, and Tunel staining of paraffin sections from different groups of mouse tumors, n = 3. ( F ) Statistical chart of staining of Ki-67 positive cells, n = 3. ( G ) Staining statistics of TUNEL-positive cells, n = 3. ( H - I ) Western blot analysis of PIK3CA, AKT, p-AKT, CCNE1, CDC25A, CDC6 and GAPDH in tumor tissues of different groups of mice, n = 4–7. ( J ) RT-qPCR analysis of mRNA levels of CCNE1, CDC25A and CDC6 in tumor tissues of different groups of mice, n = 4–7. # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 vs. NC group mice. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 vs. Combine group mice. The Data shown represent the mean ± SD.
Article Snippet: Western blotting was performed with overnight incubation with primary antibodies against GAPDH (CST, USA), p-AKT (CST, USA), AKT (CST, USA), CDC25A (Proteintech), CCNE1 (Proteintech), CDC6 (Proteintech), and PIK3CA (Proteintech).
Techniques: Staining, TUNEL Assay, Western Blot, Quantitative RT-PCR
