The effect of HOXA13 on metastasis in vivo. a Representative luciferase images of mice injected with MKN45-Ctrl or MKN45-sh-HOXA13 cells via the lateral tail veins and H&E staining in lungs. HOXA13 knockdown decreased the number of metastatic nodules in the lungs. b Representative luciferase images of mice injected with AGS-Ctrl or AGS-HOXA13-OV cells via the abdominal cavities and immunohistochemical staining in the nodules of abdominal cavities. HOXA13 overexpression increased the number of metastatic nodules in abdominal cavities. Original magnification, ×100. c Representative luciferase images of mice injected with MKN45-Ctrl or MKN45-sh-HOXA13 cells via the abdominal cavities and immunohistochemical staining in the nodules of abdominal cavities. HOXA13 knockdown decreased the number of metastatic nodules in abdominal cavities. Original magnification, ×100 (**p < 0.01)
