Figure Lengend Snippet: Knockdown of TARS2 inhibits LUAD cells growth in vivo. (a) Tumor growth curves of mice inoculated with A549 cells infected with TARS2 lentivirus were measured weekly with vernier calipers. (b) Tumor weights at 6 weeks post injection. (c)Protein expression in tumor tissue sections detected by immunohistochemical staining. a – b, p-RB(Ser807/811) expression was decreased in shTARS2-1 group compared with SCRAMBLE group; c – d p21 expression was increased in shTARS2-1 group compared with SCRAMBLE group; e-f, cleaved-caspase 9 expression was increased in shTARS2-1 group compare with SCRAMBLE group; g-h, cleaved-caspase 8 expression was increased in shTARS2-1 group compare with SCRAMBLE group; i-j, cleaved-caspase 3 expression was increased in shTARS2-1 group compare with SCRAMBLE group. The scale bar represents 200 μm.
