Figure 3

Effect of ErbB2 on cellular metabolism and tumor growth. Cellular metabolism was evaluated by measuring (a) glucose uptake and (b) lactic acid production, which are indicative of the Warburg effect. (c) Tumor growth in HCC-xenografted mice after ErbB2-INT/OV injection and RFA treatment. (d) Apoptosis of tumor tissues extracted from HCC-xenografted mice after ErbB2-INT/OV injection and RFA treatment. Positive staining is indicated in brown. Black rectangles point to specific areas of positive staining. For (a)–(c), the data are expressed as the , , . For (d), , ×100.
