Correlation analysis (trend charts) between metastasis-related factor expression and apoptotic factor expression in animal models inoculated with high-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma cell 97 (MHCC97-H) cells after human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) engraftment. (A) Correlation between metastasis-related factor integrin α5 subunit (α-V) and antiapoptotic factor B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl2), and apoptotic factors Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) and caspase 3. (B) Correlation between metastasis-related factor bone sialoprotein (BSP), and antiapoptotic factor Bcl2 and apoptotic factors Bax and caspase 3. (C) Correlation between metastasis-related factor osteopontin (OPN) and antiapoptotic factor Bcl2, and apoptotic factors Bax and caspase 3.
