Inflammation regulators in tumors and plasma of nude mice. (a) Immunostaining of inflammation-related cells in tumors from nude mice with anti-CD68 and anti-CD11b. The number of stained cells were calculated in each visual filed. Scale bar is 50 µm. Mean ± SD, n = 8 or n = 4; * p-value < 0.05, two-tailed Welch’s t-test. (b) Mouse cytokine levels in the plasma of nude mice injected with WT and QTRT1-KO MCF7 breast cancer cells were determined by multiplex bead-based assays for 26 cytokines and chemokines. Mean ± SD, n = 5; * p-value < 0.05, ns means no significance.
