Additionally, a significant decrease in ex vivo tumor weight (p < 0.05) was observed with AXL knockdown in Lipo-246 xenografts; the weight of Lipo-863 tumors with AXL knockdown were decreased compared to the NT control although statistical significance was not achieved (NT v shAXL #1: p = 0.055; NT v shAXL #2: p = 0.052) (Figs. 5c and 6c). This evidence concerns the gene AXL and neoplasm.
