RBBP5 knockdown promotes melanoma growth in vivo. (a) Images of nude mice at the end of experiment; (b) Tumor volume (mm3) was measured to draw tumor growth curves and (c) tumour weight (mg) were measured to evaluate the growth of xenograft tumors; (d) Western blotting was used to detect the expression of marker proteins in the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway (β-catenin and c-myc) and EMT (N-cadherin, E-cadherin, and MMP-7). (e) Western blotting was used to detect the expression of H3K4me3 and p16 in mouse xenograft tumour tissues; IHC was used to detect the expression of RBBP5, H3K4me3, and N-cadherin in mouse xenograft tumour tissues. (f) Representative images; (g–i) quantification results were shown. Scale bar: 20 μm. Data are represented as the mean ± SD. .
