Curcumin inhibited tumor growth by suppressing ATOX1. The animal model was established by injection of A549 cells. After 6 days of injection, the mice were injected with 20 mg/kg/d DC-AC50 or 40 mg/kg/d curcumin by intraperitoneal injection for 21 days. (A) Tumor volume was measured every week. (B) Tumor weight was obtained. Expressions of ATOX1 in tumor tissues were measured by immunohistochemistry (C) and western blotting (D). Black arrows: ATOX1 expression. The full-length blots were presented in Supplementary Fig. 7. Six animals in each group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
