Fig 4From: microRNA-26a suppresses recruitment of macrophages by down-regulating macrophage colony-stimulating factor expression through the PI3K/Akt pathway in hepatocellular carcinomaThe role of miR-26a on M-CSF expression and recruitment of macrophages in vivo. HCC cells were injected into the right flanks of nude mice. a, b The tumor growth curves of subcutaneous tumors were assessed. c, d The M-CSF expression and CD68 expression in the tumors of HepG2 cells were assessed by immunohistochemistry. e, f The M-CSF expression and CD68 expression in the tumors of HCCLM3 cells were assessed by immunohistochemistry.
