EDI3 knockdown in HCC1954-luc cells reduces metastatic burden. A Ex vivo luminescence imaging of organs and 100 μl ascites fluid (if present) with corresponding quantitative analysis B six and C eight weeks after intraperitoneal injection of doxycycline-induced and non-induced HCC1954-luc shEDI3 cells. Quantitative analysis of luminescence signal analyzed per organ after D six and E eight weeks. F Tables representing the ratio of mice positive for tumors in a specific organ compared to all mice six (left panel) and eight (right panel) weeks after injection. Data represent results of seven mice per condition. Box plots: horizontal line, median; box, 25th–75th percentiles; whiskers, min to max (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01). l, liver; d, diaphragm; k, kidney; s/s/p, complex of spleen, stomach, and pancreas; a, ascites fluid; g, gonadal white adipose tissue (WAT)
