a, FACS quantification of the percentage of active caspase-3-positive cells in YFP+EPCAM+ and YFP+EPCAM cells from control and 24 h cisplatin/5FU-treated SCCs. n = 9 SCCs. b,c, Microscopy analysis of the cellular density of EPCAM+ and EPCAM tumour cells (b) and quantification of the number of cells (c) 24 h and 48 h after cisplatin/5FU administration in vitro. Scale bar, 100 μm. n = 5 independent experiments. d, FACS quantification of the percentage of activated caspase-3-positive cells in YFP+EPCAM+ and YFP+EPCAM cells 24 h after cisplatin/5FU administration (n = 7); doxorubicin (n = 7), paclitaxel (n = 4), gemcitabine (n = 10), topotecan (n = 4) or etoposide (n = 6) administration; and 24 h after receiving 10 Gy irradiation. n values represent the number of biological independent experiments. For a, c and d, statistical analysis was performed using two-sided Mann–Whitney U-tests. P values were adjusted for multiple comparisons using Bonferroni correction. For the box plots, the centre line shows the median, the box limits represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, and the whiskers show the minimum and maximum values.
