Figure Lengend Snippet: Asporin mediates Hsp47 function in regulating obesity and obesity-associated tumor progression. ( A ) Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showing the association of asporin expression with tumor recurrence in basal-like breast cancer. ASPN: asporin( B ) The body weight growth curve of wide type and asporin KO mice (HFD) (WT group, n = 7; KO group, n = 8). ( C ) Tumor growth curve of mouse EO771 orthotopic xenograft models in control and asporin KO mice (HFD) ( n = 11). ( D - F ) IHC staining and quantification of cell proliferation marker Ki67, and active-Caspase3 inEO771 tumor tissue from control and asporin KO mice under HFD condition ( n = 6). ( G ) Masson’s Trichome staining images and quantification of collagen deposition in E0771 tumor tissues from control and asporin KO mice under HFD condition ( n = 3)( H ) The IVIS images showing treatment of asporin protein promoted breast cancer cell growth in the decellularized mammary gland from Hsp47 Adi-KO mice ( n = 3).Results are presented as mean ± SEM; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; independent Student’s t test.
