Fig. 7From: Dynamic regulation of mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism is necessary for orthotopic pancreatic tumor growthPDHA1 regulation and PDHK1 are essential for optimal growth of orthotopic pancreatic tumors. 106 of the indicated cells were injected into the pancreas of immune-deficient mice. Tumor mass was calculated by taking the mass of the pancreas and spleen and subtracting 0.1 g for normal tissue. A Image of excised orthotopic tumors in the pancreas (inferior) and spleen (superior). B Individual pancreas masses from the indicated knockout MiaPaca2 cells 4 weeks after implantation. P = 0.003 by ANOVA. C Individual pancreas masses from tumors grown from PDHA1 mutant expressing MiaPaca2 cells 8 weeks after implantation as calculated in B. P = 0.029 by ANOVABack to article page
