(A) Relative weights of tumors formed by 3 million
BCPAP-Ctr and BCPAP-Prx cells that were grafted in the back skin of the
immunodeficient NSG mice, which were subsequently given Dox through drinking
water for 28 days. 4~5 mice were used for each group and two rounds of
experiment were performed with the similar results. **, p
< 0.01. (B) H&E staining images of each tumor. Note
BCPAP tumor cells (darker pink) and mouse stromal cells (pale pink).
(C) Comparative estimation of the nuclear size (in pixel) of
the BCPAP tumor cells. Mean ± SEM of each group and sample size are as
follows: BCPAP-Ctr.1/−Dox (521.9 ± 9.2, n=400), BCPAP-Ctr.1/+Dox
(519.8 ± 9.3, n=369), BCPAP-Prx.1/−Dox (515.8 ± 7.6,
n=526), BCPAP-Prx.1/+Dox (477.7 ± 7.2, n=393).
