Effectsof PPD on Ang II enhanced lung metastasis in vivo. (A) Schema of experimental protocol. Nude mice were vein intravenously injected with Ang II-pretreated A549 cells. Subsequently, nude mice were orally administered with the indicated doses of PPD for four consecutive weeks. (B) After injection at weeks 1 and 4, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with D-Luciferin for in vivo bioluminescence imaging. Tumor metastasis to lungs is shown. (C) Mean bioluminescence/time of lung metastasis in xenografted mice, graphed as normalized photon flux/time. (D) Mean bioluminescence at 4 weeks. (E) Representative images of lung metastatic nodules (arrows refer to tumor lesions). (F) Representative pictures of HE staining of the lung issue are shown (magnification, left × 100 and right × 400). *p < 0.05.
