Nude mouse xenograft study. SW48 and LS174T cells were transplanted into nude mice, and the mice were treated with PBS as a control, CTX (1 mg/100 μL), ZOL (0.2 µM), or the combination of CTX and ZOL. (a) The volumes of implanted tumors compared to controls (left: SW48, right: LS174T). (b) The weights of the resected tumors. (c) Evaluation of xenografts. The results of western blot analysis for caspase‐3 and cleaved caspase‐3 are shown. (d) Histological evaluation of the xenografts. The expression of Ki67 and apoptosis indicated by TUNEL are shown. (e) Analysis of the TUNEL assay. Numbers of TUNEL‐positive cells per field are indicated. (f) Ki67 index is indicated. *p < 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01. Error bars in (a), (b), (e) and (f) show standard division (SD).
