AZD4547 treatment reduces stemness in spontaneous tumors from MMTV-ErbB2 mice. MMTV-ErbB2 mice with spontaneous mammary tumors were treated with AZD4547 (0 or 6 mg/kg/day) for 3 weeks. (a) Tumors were excised and primary tumor cells were isolated for an ALDEFLUOR assay of ALDH activity. Representative plots of the ALDH+ cell gating are found in the left and middle panels. The percentages of ALDH+ cells are graphed in the right panel. (b) Primary tumor cells were subjected to a primary tumorsphere assay for 7 days. Then, tumorspheres were imaged and counted. (c) Primary tumor cells were also grown in matrigel for a 3D culture assay. The numbers of colonies formed after 7 days are graphed. All values are presented as the mean ± S.E. (* P ≤ 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01).
