Altered MMTV-PyMT tumor vascularity in Mmp8- null mice. Vascular density of tumors in early- and late-stage tumors as determined by Endomucin staining. The number of mice used for analyses were as following: 8 weeks; MMTV-PyMT; Mmp8 wild-type (WT, n = 4), MMTV-PyMT; Mmp8 heterozygote (HET, n = 5), MMTV-PyMT; Mmp8 null (KO, n = 5), and 10 weeks; MMTV-PyMT; Mmp8 wild-type (WT, n = 4), MMTV-PyMT; Mmp8 heterozygote (HET, n = 6) and MMTV-PyMT; Mmp8 null (KO, n = 4). Representative pictures of 10-week tumors are shown.* P <0.05, ** P <0.01. MMP, matrix metalloproteinase; MMTV, mouse mammary tumor virus; PyMT, Polyoma virus middle T-antigen.
