Extended Data Fig. 3

a, Total liver (left) and tumour (right) weights of liver murine CRC tumour-bearing mice under 30 °C and 4 °C (n = 8 mice per group). b, Total liver (left) and tumour (right) weights of liver human CRC tumour-bearing immunodeficient mice under 30 °C and 4 °C (n = 10 mice per group). c-f, Immunofluorescence staining and quantifications of morphology (H&E), CA9+ hypoxic area, Ki-67+ proliferating cells, CD31+ microvessels, Cl-Casp3+ apoptotic cells, CD45+ inflammatory myeloid cells, IBA1+ pan-macrophages, and FSP1+ fibroblasts in liver murine CRC (c, d) and liver human CRC (e, f) under 30 °C and 4 °C (n = 5 or 10 random fields per group). Arrows and arrowheads point to positive signals. g, Core and subcutaneous body temperatures of murine CRC subcutaneous tumour-bearing mice under 30 °C and 4 °C (n = 8 mice per group). h, Intra-tumoral temperature of subcutaneous murine CRC tumours under 30 °C and 4 °C (n = 10 tumours per group). i, Core (left) and subcutaneous (right) body temperature of murine CRC tumour-bearing mice in the intra-liver implantation model under 30 °C or 4 °C (n = 8 mice per group). All scale bars, 50 μm. Data presented as mean ± s.e.m. Statistical analysis was performed using two-sided unpaired t-test (a, b, d, f, gi). NS, not significant.
