Figure 5. — Blood-filled caverns unlined by endothelial cells are generated from blood vessel dilation followed by endothelial detachment as demonstrated by Sirius red staining of INS-1 tumors. (A-C) Represent different sites in the same slide. (A) Certain endothelial cells were not connected (arrows) with adjacent tumor cells in dilated blood vessels or blood-filled caverns (marked as a). (B) Detached endothelial cells formed a cluster (arrows) in blood-filled caverns unlined by endothelial cells (marked as b). (C) In specific blood-filled caverns (marked as c), collagen deposition was observed in a particular site of the lakeside (arrowheads). Endothelial cell detachment (arrow) was also observed. Scale bar, 50 µm.
