Figure Lengend Snippet: CTP regulated the expression of proteins associated with immunity in the spleen and colorectal tumors of Apc Min/+ mice. CTP regulated the expression levels of CD4, CD8, CTLA4, PD-L1, and IL-2 in (A) the colorectal tumor and (B) spleen of Apc Min/+ mice (C) CTP regulated the expression levels of Calcineurin A, NFAT1, P-PI3K, P-AKT, P-IKKα/β, and P-NF-κB p65 in the spleen of Apc Min/+ mice. Quantification data were normalized by GAPDH and their corresponding total proteins were reported as fold change with respect to the expression data from the corresponding vehicle-treated mice ( n = 4).
