Epithelial Stat3 deletion induces sex-associated differences in K-ras mutant tumor burden. Lung surface tumor number (left panel) and histopathologic appearance (40× magnification, scale bar = 100 μm) of the lung in female (red circles, n = 12–14) (a) and male (blue squares, n = 12–15) (c) CC-LR (middle panel) and LR/Stat3Δ/Δ (right panel) mice at the age of 14 weeks. Quantitative analysis (left panel) and representative lung photomicrographs (20× magnification, scale bar = 50 μm) of positive tumor cells for Ki-67 in female (n = 11–14) (b) and male (n = 12–14) (d) CC-LR (middle panel) and LR/Stat3Δ/Δ (right panel) mice at the age of 14 weeks. (Data represent means ± standard error of mean (SEM); ****P < 0.0001; ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.005 using two-tailed t-test, experimental replicate # 3–4)
