Antitumor effect in the postsurgical relapse
4T1-luc tumor model
in mice. (a) Surgical and treatment procedures of 4T1-luc tumor relapse
model. iv., intravenous. (b) In vivo IVIS images
of 4T1-luc tumors after resection of the primary tumor. (c) The relative
tumor volumes after treating with saline, DOX, DHA, DOX + DHA, and
DOX/DHA-LNs for four times with equivalent doses of 5.00 mg kg–1 of DOX and 2.83 mg kg–1 of DHA.
(d) Photographs of tumors collected from mice were treated as indicated
after 12 days. (e) The variation profiles of body weights. (f) Survival
curves of the treatment groups up to 40 days after administration
(n = 10). P values were determined
by one-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey test and represented
using *P < 0.05 and **P <
0.01.
