(C, D) Measurement of METTL3, ACSL3, PCNA, and MMP9 protein levels in xenograft tumors in each group. (E) IHC analysis for METTL3, ACSL3, PCNA, and MMP9 positive cells in tumors of each group. (F) The number of metastatic nodules in the lung of each group. (G) Representative H&E staining of lung sections. Technical replicates (n = 3), biological replicates (n = 5), *P < 0.05
