(a) Group mean of the MTT of the vessels in normal tissue (n = 4), MDAMB231 (n = 9) and MDAMB231NOTCH4+ (n = 8). The MTT was longer in MDAMB231 than in normal tissue. In mice bearing MDAMB231NOTCH4+, the MTT significantly decreased (MDAMB231: 5.0 ± 1.4 s; normal: 3.6 ± 1.0 s; MDAMB231NOTCH4+: 3.6 ± 1.1 s). (b) Representative plots of MTT in each group. MTT shows a similar duration in each branch in all groups. (c) Left: no correlation was observed between the MTT of the vessels and tumor volume in MDAMB231 (n = 9). Right: correlation between the MTT of the vessels and tumor volume following three weeks of eribulin treatment (MDAMB231_eribulin) (n = 3). With the enlargement of volume, MTT significantly increased. ** p < 0.05. The error bars show SD of the mean. r: Pearson's correlation coefficient. |
