BSSP4 increases cell motility in vivo. The images (A) depict tumor foci of lung sections (arrows indicated) in both J7-control (A, I) and J7-BSSP4 cells (A, II). The metastatic index (fold, density of tumor numbers in per cm2 area) in lung for J7-control and J7-BSSP4 cells is specified (B). Tumor foci and BSSP4 expression of J7-control (C, left panel) and J7-BSSP4 cells (C, right panel) were examined using H & E staining (C, upper panel) or IHC (C, lower panel), respectively. The tumor foci covered almost all areas seen in (D) (C and D represent different magnifications, arrowheads in C are magnified in D). Values are presented as fold increase of J7-BSSP4, relative to J7-control. Differences were analyzed using One-way ANOVA, *P < 0.05.
