Effect of CTSB on subcutaneous tumorigenicity of MHCC-97 L and MHCC-97H. a Tumor growth curve of after injection of nude mice with CTSB or control vector expressing MHCC-97 L cells. b Tumor growth curve of nude mice injected by MHCC-97H cells transfected with CTSB-shRNA or Con-shRNA. c MHCC-97 L/CTSB tumors showed a significant increase in tumor volume and weight compared with control tumors on day 21 after injection. d MHCC-97H/CTSB-shRNA tumors showed a significant decrease in tumor volume and weight compared with control tumors on day 21 after injection. e Western blot analysis of the expression of CTSB in MHCC-97 L/CTSB tumors and control tumors. f Western blot analysis of the expression of CTSB in MHCC-97H/CTSB-shRNA tumors and control tumors
