Effects of VEGF overexpression on VEGF levels in MDA-MB-231 cells and tumors, vessel density as detected by CD31 immunostaining, and tumor volume doubling time.

Validation of VEGF Overexpression. (a) Validation of the overexpression of VEGF in the supernatant of 231_VEGF cells (N = 5) compared to 231_WT cells (N = 5). (b) Validation of the overexpression of VEGF in tumors derived from 231_VEGF cells (N = 5) compared to tumors from 231_WT cells (N = 5). (c) Representative CD31 immunostained images from 231_WT (left) and 231_VEGF (right) tumors. (d) Quantification of strongly positive pixel (NSP) area normalized to the total pixel area in 231_WT (N = 5) and 231_VEGF (N = 5) tumors. 1 section was analyzed from each tumor. (e) Growth curves of 231_WT and 231_VEGF tumors (N = 10 per group); each point in the graph represents a single tumor volume. Values represent Mean ± S.E.M. *P ≤ .05,****P ≤ .00005.
