Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. AcRoots suppressed in vivo hypopharyngeal carcinoma growth. (a) Intragastrically administered acRoots repressed tumor growth of hypopharyngeal carcinoma with reduced tumor volume and weight. (b) No sudden weight loss of mice was observed in the acRoots group, and there was no significant difference in weight between different groups. (c) Intragastrically administered acRoots reduced the expression of E2F1 and MNX1-AS1. (d) Immunohistochemical analysis indicated down-regulation of E2F1 and Ki67 in the tumor tissues. Incubation with acRoots increased the number of TUNEL-positive cells in the tumor tissues. *, *** vs. 0 mg/mL acRoots, p < 0.05, p < 0.001.
