Figure 5. Galunisertib inhibited tumor growth and vasculogenic mimicry in a xenograft tumor model.

Figure 5

(A, B) Mice were sacrificed 21 days after the injection of normal tumor cells (NTC) with or without galunisertib treatment. Tumor weight (A) and volume (B) were measured. (C) Immunohistochemical CD34 and PAS staining of tumors sections isolated from galunisertib-treated and PBS-treated (20% DMSO) mice. Scale bars represent 200 μm (top) and 50 μm (bottom), respectively. The percentage of PASCD34+/PAS+CD34+ cells decreased in the galunisertib-treated xenografts, representing reduced tumor vasculogenic mimicry in vivo. Mean ± SEM of three independent experiments; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
