Pazopanib treatment of complex tumouroid manufactured using 786-O, HUVEC
and HDF cells. (a) Cell viability (CellTiter Glo) following 7 days of
treatment. (b) VEGF levels (% to control) in the supernatant following
treatment measured by ELISA. (c) Surface area of spheroids within cancer
mass in control and treated complex tumouroids. (d) Distance of invasion
of 786-O cells within the stromal compartment in control and treated
complex tumouroids. (e) Representative immunofluorescent images of
control (left panel) and treated (right panel) cultures. (i–vi) Complex
tumouroids and (vii–viii) HUVEC only; dotted line shows (iii, iv) cancer
mass boundary and arrows indicate (iii, iv) 786-O invasion and (v)
endothelial networks (scale bar = 100 µm in i, ii, v, vi, vii, viii;
200 µm in iii, iv). (f) Control cultures of HUVEC only, treatment on day
10 for 120 h.
****p < 0.0001; *p < 0.05 (a, b, c, d), Mann–Whitney U and (f)
Kruskal–Wallis with Dunn’s post hoc analysis.
