Inhibition by GA-CTS/5-FU nanoparticles in orthotopic liver transplantation mouse model.
Notes: (A) At 5 days after model establishment, mice were treated with GA-CTS/5-FU, CTS/5-FU, 5-FU, or PBS. Mice were killed 10 days after treatment and tumor tissues were sampled and weighed. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n=10). **P<0.01 compared with control; #P<0.05 and ##P<0.01 compared with the 5-FU group. (B) Pathological section of HE stain in different groups (magnification ×400).
Abbreviations: 5-FU, 5-fluorouracil; CTS, chitosan; GA-CTS, glycyrrhetinic acid-modified chitosan; HE, hematoxylin and eosin; PBS, phosphate buffered saline; SD, standard deviation.
