Figure Lengend Snippet: Suppression of NUCB-2 in vivo inhibits tumor formation in a renal cell carcinoma mouse model. (A) Relative mRNA levels of NUCB-2 normalized to those of GAPDH in shRNA or control cell lines. *P<0.05. (B) Protein expression levels of NUCB-2 in the shRNA and control cell lines. (C) Densitometry and statistical analysis of the western blots in the right panel. Relative protein levels of NUCB-2 normalized to those of GAPDH in samples. *P<0.05. (D) BALB/c mice were subcutaneously injected with Renca renal carcinoma cells in the rear flanks, and tumor size was measured every 2 days for the following 3 weeks. Growth of Renca cell tumors in a mouse model following the injection of an shRNA targeting NUCB-2 or a control injection. (E) In vivo tumors from mice implanted with the two different cell lines. (F) Relative protein expression levels of NUCB-2 normalized to those of GAPDH in shRNA or control cell lines at the end of the in vivo experiments. (G) Protein expression of NUCB-2 in the shRNA or control cell lines at the end of the in vivo experiment. *P<0.05. NUCB-2, nucleobindin 2; sh, short hairpin.
